SATURDAY MORNING

And drSt In Importance at the meeting was
the paper on English Grammar, by Albert
+. Richardson. Principal Of Fryeburg Acad-
emy. He began by saying that we are apt
20 criticise others Tor spending too much
time on what We 10 not know ourselves;
that was not his reason. He began the
study al nine, at twenty was ia a parsing
class. had taught 1t over twenty years. \
fourth part OF the audience had recited TO
him in grammar some years ago; some,
last term. The object OF studying English
grammar is 10 learn the language, but this
result i not reached with all the study.
Some who have never studied II use better
language. Children OF ten learn deflni
tons samples Of which were read which
they cannot understand-they must have
good knowledge OF the language before
they can comprehend the textbooks. One
years study would be more profitable than
i've. English literature should occupy 4
part OF the time now devoted TO grammar;
in that way learn correct language and q
taste for good reading TO counteract the
work OF dime novels.
Ia the lively discussion that followed,
The general opinion seemed to be that Ian
cuage should be taught rather than gram
mar. Teach children to correct them
selves: composltios should be the begin
ming rather than end SIS now. Analysis
aud parsing useful for mental discipline.
Among those present and taking part on
different topics, were DR.. J. S. Bennett,
Supervisor Of Hiram; F. W. Powers, Su-
perylsor of Fryeburg; Mr.. Dow, OF Bald
win: Mr.. Richardson and Miss Stone, Of
Fryeburg Academy; Mr.. and Mrs. n. O.
Mcintyre and B. W. McHeen, OF Frye
burg; Miss Meserve, Lowell; Misses Ping
rec. Denmark; Misses Weymouth, Wads-
worth, Hubbard, Kimball, Small, Of Hi
ram; Miss Olive Eaton, and others.
The questions remaining unanswered
supplied abundant material for the
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The following officers were elected for
the ensuing year;
President, Albert +. Richardson, Frye
burg; Vice President, Moses Cobb, Den
mark; Secretary and Treasurer, Miss Min
ME Hubbard, Hiram; Executive Commit
tee +. w. Powers, Fryeburg, j. L. Ben
nett. Hiram, Albert Walker, Denmark,
Miss Evelyn Meserye, Lowell, Miss Gym
thia Pingree, Denmark.
The meetings were held in the new
school building. The school room is pro-
yided with an organ, and music under the
direction OF Miss Hubbard was interspersed
throughout the exercises. The schools are
now in charge of three ladies'; Misses
Weymouth. wadsworth and Hubbard-all
Normal graduates.
The people OF Hiram were very hospit-
able and those who attended this meeting
were well entertained.
II was voted to hold the next meeting at
Lowell.
