NOTES OF THE SCHOOLS.


A Ouiet Week In the Educational Circles
About Town.
The regular monthly meeting OF the
principals was held on Thursday after
noon at the superintendent Office Of
fee. Considerable time was spent In
discussing whether or not they should
make application to the Board of Edu-
cation TO introduce new writing sys-
TEN In the schools, as the Kreamer sys-
TEN does not seem to meet with the ap-
prevail of the majority of the teachers.
They claim that some of the move
ments introduced in this system are too
intricate for the pupil, and that it also
has tendency to strain the eyes. 1t is
probable that this system will be used
until the expiration OF the term.
The teachers are taking advantage OF
the excursion rates to Pittsburg; while
there they always pay a visit TO the
schools of corresponding grade to their
own. This is quite an idea and should
be done by all the teachers, as it gives
them an insight into the different schools
and also suggests new ideas to the
teacher for her object work.
On Monday evening Miss Amelia j,
Specht, one of the teachers OF the in
termediate department OF Richie
School married to Mr.. Samuel Elder,
the soap manufacturer. The affair was
very quiet, only few Of the immedi-
ate friends being present. Re. Ultret
performed the ceremony.
There is a great deal Of sickness in
Washington district; the attendance
average has been pulled down consider
ably on this account. The report IS
that scarlet fever seems to be the pre-
vailing disease.
An elocution class has been organized
among the scholars of the intermediate
and primary departments at Clay
school. Miss Ella Steinfeld, B. E., is
the teacher.
The C and D division teachers OF
Clay school held a meeting yesterday
afternoon. Prof. Anderson gave a
short talk on the elements OF grammar.
The Ciceronean Society of Centre
School issued its first publication OF a
bright journal yesterday afternoon.
Miss Sue Bradshaw is the editress.
Misses Harvey and Evans, OF Clay
school, were among the teachers TO
visit the Pittsburg and Allegheny
schools last week.
Miss Mary Lauck, the president Of
the Ruskin society of Centre school, re-
turned yesterday from a trip to Zanes-
vile.
Miss Martha McCurdy, one Of the
primary department teachers of Web
ster, is out on account OF sickness.
Misses Mollie thinner and Annie
Kennedy, of division d OF Webster,
visited the Martins Ferry school.
Miss Annie Braun, the substitute at
Richie school, will fill the place made
vacant by Miss Specht.
Messrs. F. w. Nesbitt and G. S.
BriIles also have class in elocution at
the Linsly.
Misses Zane and Wallace, OF Clay,
were at the Bellaire schools during the
week.
