animated discussion which made clear

different processes of electing presi-

Query Box received due attention and
led to the presentation OF subjects large

being strongly in favor of the system
There can be no doubt that iudieious
adoption Of this system as laid down by
State Supt Whitford in his circular on
this subject, will do more to advance
the interests of our schools by securing
intelligent, systematic work from both
teachers and pupils than any other
practical scheme yet presented We
sincerely hope that teachers and school
boards win give this subject the thought
and attention that it so richly merits.
In concluding we will add that this
meeting was more than usually en-

as can of those who were in attendance
will find it convenient to take part in
the work at Fennimore and Lancaster.
