The teachers meeting held here
last Saturday was in every way a sue,
cessful affair. The programme was
carried out to the letter. Twenty
three teachers were in attendance and
in the afternoon Superintendent Pat gel
called in and favored the teachers
with an interesting and suggestive
paper on the subject Of Botany, be-
sides entering actively into their dis
cussions on other subjects.
Following suggestion by one OF
the teachers, move was under foot
to induce the town treasurer to retain
the 10 cents on every dollar of tax col
lected which the law permits him to
do for the purpose of establishing a
township library. The purpose how
ever had to be abandoned owing to
the fact that the tax collections were
already off his hands. The next meet
ing will be held on Feb. 3 and it is ex
pected that it will be as interesting
as the meeting just held. It would be
lncOnslderate not to mention that DR..
Hahn was present and took a com
mendable interest in the proceedings.
His example should be emulated by
others.
