The next regular examination will

We expect to soon have an associ-
ate in this work, Prof. w. G. Riste of
Phillipsburg.
Have you, fellow teacher, resolved
that this years work shall be the best
you have tried to do?
A deep interest seems TO be mani
fest toward our Teachers AssocIa-
tons This is as it should be.
We~are pleased 20 note the advance
mens of the Teachers Reading Circle
in all parts of the county.
Prof. J. Fl. TadIock is editing an
interesting educational column in the
Logan Republican. we are glad to
see this.
Read the County Association pro-
gram carefully. we hope TO see
every te5cier IL the county present
at that meeting.
Miss SEhitney.ls the teacher in dis
trict 10. n, Greenwood township.
We enjoyed gshort visit at this school,
and was well pleased. with some of
the work IN the school
Jennie Erwin hasa well classified
and well advanced school in district
No. %. This is the Hillside district.
Miss Erwin is one of our most consci-
entious workers in the county.
Nowhere in the county have we Wis
tied more orderly school than the
Pleasant Valley school, No. 80, in
Greenwood township. Ida Pope is
teacher in district No. 80.
We are indeed we'll pleased to see
the large attendance from different
parts of the county, that is now com
ing to the High School department
of the Phillipsburg school. This Is
right. May others do likewise.
"Black Beauty" as a supplim ent
airy reading book can be purchased
for five cents a copy, We should
hsYe thousand IN the schools of oul
county at that price. Who will bt
the first to send in an order for this
valuable book?
We are always disappointed when
ever we step into a school-room anc
are not permitted to see a daily pro
gram posted up in some conspicuous
part of the room. Do not make the
excuse that you do not have black
board enough. Take a large sheet O
paper, print or write your daily pro
gram upon it, and then paste it to The
wall. Do not try to run q successful
school, without the days work befor,
every pupil in the school.
The District Association at Long
Island was a grand success. Thu
Principals room was completely fill
ed with people who showed by thei
close attention, and by their words o
encouragement, that they had a deeI
interest in the success of sucl
an association at Long Island. Con
siderable credit for this successful be
ginning is due to the Long IslanC
teachers, w. Z. Adams, and MIsse
Gertie Lindley and Anna Hickenloop
er. MIR. Adams read an excellent pa
per on school government. We woul'
be pleased to see Mr.. Adams pape
published Mrs. Wolcott's paper en-
titled, Progressive Education" wa
the most beautifully written pape
we have heard for some time. w
can only speak In the highest term
of this paper. We were compelled t.
leave before the program was com
pleted, and can not give any accoun
of the remainder of the program
The recitations by pupils from tn
Long Island school were good AM
helped to add interest to the meeting
Among the many teachers we met, W
remember w. r. Adams, Misses Lind
ley, Hickenlooper, Woodland, La Rue
and Lowe. From all the people wit
whom we talked while IN Long Islam
last week, we heard nothing but salts
faction expressed in regard to tn
schools at that place. All expressed
confidence in Mr.. Adams and his as
sistants. We feel confident that wit
such confidence on the part of the pee
pie and such work in the future q
the teachers have given in the fri
moths work, Long Island will EMO
a successful school for 1891 and 189.
