TEACHERS MEETING.

Pursuant to all call by the V. F.,
the first meeting of the w. d. for the
present season was held at the Brass
Ball school house in Salem, Nov 18th.
Meeting called to order at two o'clock
by Vice President Blanchard.
We first listened to reports from sew
eral teachers, from which we judged
that the schools are in good working
order Miss Mary Patterson, teacher
in No. /, Pleasant Prairie, reported
that there was no hardness in her
school for two months, and that the
per cent. of attendance for the last
month was SO.
Superintendent Mahoney then favor
ed us with few remarks in regard to
the school interests of the county, in
which he said that there are from ten
to eleven hundred children of school
age in tt county who do not attend
school, He asked the teachers to OBJ
serve how many children there are in
the districts in which they are teach
ing who do not attend school, and to
report the same to him.
NeXtOn the programme, Mr.. A. f.
Grant grandly conducted the recitation
in history, the subject being Slavery,
commencing with its Introduction in
1919. superintendent Mahoney plain
ly described the manner in which
slaves were imported into the colonies.
The theme was followed until we reach
ed the "Dred Scott Case" when the
question arose as to how many Of those
who were present had read the "Dred
Scott Case" in full, when, we are loath
to say, very few raised their hands.
The time allowed for the exercise hav-
ing expired, the teacher was obliged to
close. much to the regret of all. A
rest of a few minutes was then grant
ed. After calling to order again, Mr..
G. w. Blanchard took up the Geogra-
ply of Kenosha County. The question
soon arose, How many towns and
townships i'll the county" After some
discussion, we were informed that
there were eight towns and seven town
ships. Continuing with the ranges,
sections, &c, we got into pretty deep
water over fractional quarters, when
one of members ventured the opinion
that many old farmers knew more OF
the matter than teachers did.
The subject was so ably handled by
the teachers, and so interesting to us
all that we used up all the time assign
ed and more. On account of the late
ness of the hour, the "Question Box"
was dispensed with BY vote of the
meeting, Mr.. Blanchard was requested
to continue the exercise on the geog-
raphy Of the county at the next meet
ing.
1t was voted 20 hold the next meet
ing at the futile school house, the
Vice PRESIDENT to fix the time.

An amusing little episode occurred
at the church sociable at Mrs. Halli-
days last Thursday evening. Dnring
the evening summons came for the
Rev. Mr.. Cruickshanks to repair to the
parsonage to marry couple who had
come all the way from Chicago to have
the knot tied. He Immediately left
his flock and went home to perform
the ceremony. There being no wit
nesses present, he invited the couple to
return with him to Mrs. Halliday's and
have the nuptials contaminated there.
This they were unwilling to do, so MI.
Cruickshanks returned to obtain wit
nesses, and two Of the fairest of his
young members volunteering, he went
back to the parsonage in triumph, and
made the couple one according to law.
The incident was productive Of much
merriment, and the two impromptu
witnesses were subjected to few
pithy jokes, which they took in great
good humor. and parted as best they
could. Altogether it added not a lit
tie to the evenings enjoyment.
Sunday night at the Baptist church
the Rev. Mr.. Cressey edited his church
people and large number Of outsiders
by preaching strong sermon on Tenn,
Iperance The remarks of the reverend
gentleman were to the point, and show
ed conclusively that his eyes have been
open since his coming into this place
to the necessity of stirring temperance
work among all classes Not only was
the confirmed drunkard appealed to to
forsake his cups, but the fashionable
drinker, who takes but one or two
drinks a day, was shown by the Rev.
Mr.. Cressey to be standing Oh danger
Gus ground. He forcibly illustrated
that such fashionable tippling was but
the preliminary step on the downward
road, and the poor drunkard, an object
of derision and contempt to such tip
piers now, but true likeness of them
selves in the future if they kept up the
habit of moderate drinking. Mr.. Cres-
sey's words were good and strong, and
went to the hearts of his hearers. 1t
is hoped they will not fall to the
ground worthless.
