REPORT OF TEACHERS MEET
ING, w. d.

The meeting called to order by Pres.
Mahoney, shortly after ten o'clock.
Quite a number OF teachers and others
were present, some Of whom came sew
eral miles, while there are teachers
within a radius Of three miles who did
not put in an appearance; probably be-
cause they are SO well posted IN all
that pertains to teaching, that they
could learn nothing by attending a
teachers meeting.
The first exercise was one in Read
Ing conducted by Sup't Mahoney. The
subject, Emphasis After a short
blackboard exercise, the school readers
were brought forward and the rest of
time was spent in reading Alice Cary's
poem,-"The Gray Swan"
Miss Clara Epson then conducted
q recitation in Civil Government, the
particular department being the Flee
toral College. Miss Epson had eyi-
IDENTIFY given good deal of attention
to the subject, as she handled it with
ease, and made this usually dry sub
ject, interesting to the class.
An intermission of an hour and &
half was then declared, during which
the good people of Grants Corners took
the teachers to their homes and "fe(
and warmed them bountifully, fol
which they will please accept our
thanks.
The first thing in the afternoon wa,

These showed the schools to be in coot
working order, but generally endet
with the complaint "no visits from th,
parents. T"
An exercise in practical Problems
by j. Fl. Petrie was next in order. Nh
Petrie took such problems as vii
come up in every day life, and handled

TEACHERS MEETING.

The second meeting OF the e. ID. i.
A. was held in Dist. No. s, Somers,
Nov. 23d. Teachers present: Messrs.
Swartz, Carpenter, Gibbon, Petrle'
Holmes and Flett, and Misses Dabbs,
Reynolds aud Petrie.
The meeting was called to order at
eleven o'clock, and proceeded at once
to work, according to the programme.
The teacher, who was to have an eXer-
else in Phonetics, being absent, the
President, after trying in vain to get
some one present to conduct the eXer-
else, spoke for a short time on the SUB
iect, showing the uses that might be
made of phonetics in teaching primer
scholars. There was some discussion
as to when we should commence to
teach the sounds and markings OF the
letters, the most of the teachers think
ing it best to teach them only to the
advanced classes; the third and fourth
reader.
The next exercise on the programme
was Territories of the United States,
conducted by w. II. Holmes. Instead
of taking the pres e. S. territories,
as was expected by some, the teacher
spoke of those that had been acquired
by the y. S. by purchase, conquest and
annexation. It was thought by some
that in teaching geography this should
be taken as topic by itself, by others,
that in drawing map of the United
States, colored crayon be used to desig-
nate those territories and in this way
their position would be definitely fixed
on the minds of the pupils.
AS it was now near dinner time, the
President adjourned the meeting for.
an hour and half. When the meet
ing was called to order in the after
noon, the President spoke about sing
ing, and asked the teachers, after this
to bring the Gospel Hymns with them
to the meetings.
Reports of schools were then called
for. The highest number of scholars
reported, was So; the lowest II; per
cent of attendance generally over 90,
and few cases Of hardness. On the
subject of hardness the teachers were
not all agreed, some marking scholars
tardy if they came in at any time af-
ter the bell was rung, others, if they
failed to answer TO the roll-call after
the morning exercises. Will our Supt.
tell us which is right?
D. S. Gibbon conducted an exercise
penmahship, noticing the positions Of
the body, book and pen, also some of
the common errors in making q few
of the small letters. He also spoke
of the desks of most of our school
houses as being poorly arranged for
writing.
Miss Clemens not being present We
had no class in grammar, and after a
few general questions the meeting was
adjourned. S. A. PETRIE, Sec.

HARDNESS.

That some means should be taken to
prevent this evil, is obvious to all, but
what can be done, with Justice to all,
in the district school.
Where it arises from heedlessness
and thoughtlessness, it should be met
with rigor, and determination on the
teachers part to quell it; but in how
many cases is the pupil, who is tardy
from circumstances over which he has
control, placed upon the same level as
the one before mentioned, and punish
ed in the same manner.
Thus, gross injustice is done to both
and the evil influence arising from it
is felt by both parties.
That school is hardly a model one,
in that respect at least, though it
shows but two OF three cases in a
month or even q greater length of
time, where the parties tardy have
been lndiscrinately dealt with.
Let the teacher use Judgment and
! discrimination in this matter, admin
ministering discipline when needed
and advising and helping in other
cases and we will vouch that the infiu.
ence arising from it will be both
healthful and beneficial R.D.R.
The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1878-12-05

| thon n an excellent manner, giving
al the short cuts, and the reasons.
Miss Mary Peterson then conducted
recitation in Grammar, taking parti-
ciples as the subject. Miss Peterson
handled the subject in way that soon
convinced those present that they "did
not know much about participates any
way.
Several questions relating to school
management were then brought for
ward and discussed. The question
When is pupil tardy, was decided by
the Sup't. as follows: The bell should
ring at 9 o'clock, a reasonable time
say one minute, should be allowed pu''
pills to get into tle school-house, and
all pupils coming in after that are tar
dy.
Meeting then adjourned to meet in
Curtiss & Shumway's Hall at 1880.
The evening exercises were opened
by song by Misses Munson, Browne,
and Cronk. and Messrs> Munson,
Browne and Flett.
The discussion of The policy Of build
ing Free High Schools in the different
towns was next in order. The affir-
NATIVE as supported by Messrs. Pc
trie and Blanc lfard and the negative by
Messrs. Mahoney and W. H. Flett,
Messrs. Maynard and Helms who were
appointed to support the negative be-
ing absent. All the pros and cons were
brought forward, and the brilliant ben
efits on dire disasters which the speak
ers said) would follow the adoption Of
such schools were glaringly depicted.
The other exercises consisted of re-
citations by Misses Cora Cronk, Mary
Gull, and Mr.. H. S. Flett; readings by
Miss Lizzie Munson, and Sup't Maho-
ney, song by Miss Dilla Browne. AL
so two other songs by the same ones
that sang the opening song.
The teachers are under obligations
to Mr.. NJ. J. Andrus for the use Of his
melodeon, and to Messrs. Curtiss &
ShumWay for the use Of their hall, al
so to those ontside Of the profession
who kindly took part in the meetings.

A. II. =. Anniversary.

We are informed by Mr.. Long, District
superintendent Of the A. b. S. for West
Virgins, thst the late anniversary of
the National Bible Society at Richmond,
Va, was, in the judgment of the officers
and friends present, one of the most H.
teresting ever held. St. Paui's Church
was filled to OVERLOOKING Sunday even
ing, it being the SiXty-seCond anniver-
ssrv OF the American Bible Society. The
exercises were very interesting. The
services were opened by Rev DR.. Hoge,
of thst city, assisted by Rev. Drs. Min
negerode and Judkins. DR.. Hoge
int oduced the officers of the Amerl-
can Bible Society of New York in
ms ususl graceful manner, snd pre-.
'a2ed with few choice remarks on that
a,eIcy of good. Rev. DR.. Hall, of
New York, was expected to be present,
but was detained by family stfliction, and
the Rev, Dr. Taylor, of New Jersey, de-
livered q NEST eloquent discourse on the
subject of Bible propagation, after which
Rev DR.. Cranberry, OF Nashville, closed
the exercises in few briet remarks.
Within the cbancol there were a num-
Der Of ministers OF the different denomI-
nations, and the officers of the National
Bible Society. The meeting was very
interesting, and, from the report of the
secretary, the society is in hourishlng
condition.
