and energy to the honorable and useful worl
ofeducating and training the young, thus L
meet and hold what We might call "experi
ence meetings" They compare notes-eacl
dom from experience. to add to the common
store, all are cheered and enabled TO take III
their hard vocation again with renewed hop
and vigor.
The topics discussed at this meeting wer
all ofan eminently practical nature, relalin!
chiefly TO the daily routine Of teachers lii
in the school room. The interest with whic
the teachers entered into the considerable
of each topic introduced, both in speakin
and listening, showed keen appreciation {
the importance of the subjects discussed an
an earnest desire to profit by the occasion
Some of the essays read were remaIkabl
well written, showing care and research q
well as thoughtful preparation. The peopl
OF Hartford county have, we think, cause fc
just pride in their public schools and owe
debt of gratitude to those by whose effort
our educational system has reached its pr
sent state of efficiency.
