seventh annual session of the North
Carolina Teachers Assembly, Morehead
City, N. c., June 17-30, 1890, is now

addresses by Hon. Thomas }. Jarvis, Or.
j. L. NJ. Curry; the celebrated humorist,
'Eli Perkins," Prof. james Dinwid6ie,
and q number uf prominent North Caro-
lima educ ttors.

mating singer in the whole Sonth. He
will be assisted in the exercises by sew
eral accomplished ladies Of North Caro-
lima.
The "Model School will consist of
twenty little boys and girls gathered in
a school room which will be thoroughly
furnished in modern style. The school
will be taught one hour each day by
Misses Mamie Burke, Of Morganton, and
Mary V. Marsh, of Raleigh, and the
methods which are best in country and
village public and private schools will be
carefully exempliied by actual work in
the school roora. This feature will be
the most valuable for young teachers
that the assembly has ever arranged.

IN the schools. His system of teaching
1t is the easiest and simplest ever de-

will be even larger this summer than

received notice of the coming of special
parties of teachers and their friends from
Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia and
Tennessee. and certificates of member
