EDUCATIONAL MEETING.
The Grammar Teachers, and suporintsnt
ants' Round Table.

There was a meeting Of the city Gram.
mar school teachers yesterday afternoon
In the rooms OF the Board Of Education.
Superintendent Anderson talked on cleo.
tricity and illustrated the use OF the ap-
paratuS. The apparatus in the pOsSesEion
Of the Wheeling schools is entirely made
quRte. This important aid to educational
work ought mot TO be longer neglected.
Last evening the Superintendent

There were present Superintendent Jones,
Of Bellaire, Mitchell, of Wellaburg, Thomas,
Darlington, Duncan, Of Bridgeport, May,
Of Benwood, Williams, Of Moundsyille,
and Anderson, OF this city.
Capt. Jones gave some account OF his
visit to the schools Of Alliance, Salem and
youngstown, with instructive comment.
The subject Of geography was then dis
cussed, the point being made that the
teacher should not stick too closely 70 the
text books, but should be practical and
bring the knowledge impaired home to
the understanding Of the pupil.
The subjec!s Of hardness, grading, teach.
ing percentage, etc, were also discussed.
The uss Of local papers by the pupils to
teach language, spelling and geography
was advocated. Oral examinations were
advocated as q means Of making pupils
sharp and ready; written examinations to
ascertain their standing,
Capt. Jones moved an expression as the
sense Of the meeting to the effect that
Boards Of Education should not employ
inexperienced teachers, unless they had
received special normal school training.
This was adopted BY vote Of four to two,
Messrs, Anderson and Duncan tavoring q
modification to the effect that teachers
should have special training for their
work.
The meeting WAS protracted, interest.
ing and profitable. The next session will
be held March %.
