BUNCOMBE TEACHERS.
Meeting Of The County AssOCia-
iiOn Today.

Meeting of The County AssOcia-
lion To-day.
Considering the inclement weather the
meeting Of the Buncombe County Teach
ers' association today was fair one.
Many teachers showed their zeal in the
work by coming many miles over bad
roads. There was also good attend
ance OF city teachers. Superintendent
Way opened the meeting. 1t was dis
appointment to those attending to find
that neither of those who were to read
papers on or discuss the subject of muse
were on hand.
Prof. Stradley gave an interesting tall
on securing "Co.operation Of Parents
in public school work. He was followed
by Prof Buckner with discussion on
the same subject, during which Mr.
Buckner brought out manv interesting
points illustrative of the difficulties o.
the average country school teacher ano
how they are to be overcome.
Superintendent Eggleston of the Ashe
vile city schools next took the floor,
on the subject. What Motives and In
centives to Study Ought to be Appealed
to in the Child" The subject was ham
died with remarkable skill. He ap,
pealed to the teachers to Use natural
methods of instruction, and not to des.
troy the individuality of the child by
stuffing him with dead text book matter.
The child should be educated by means
natural. The school is community,
miniature republic, and should be
taught to govern itself to a large extent.
Prot. Eggleston showed the great moral
responsibility resting on the teacher
Every sentence of his talk contained gems
OF pedagogical truth.
The next meeting was fixed for the
second week in April and the time oi
meeting changed from 1890 to II a. m
in order that the country teachers may
have more time to get here. Prof. Eg
gleston offered the use of tn,
Orange street building for the next meet
ing, which was accepted. Several new
members joined the association. 1t il
earnestly hoped the next meeting will b'
a very successful one.

Fairchild who will go upon this state
ticket will be chosen, as Mr.. Fairchild
already has been, by the accordant
voices of the leaders and the followers
of the Independent Democracy of the

sources requisite for a state campaign
of the most active character will not
be wanting, for such a campaign will

From many observations and expert
ments NJ. Ph. Lenard finds THAT drops
Of water fahing upon water or wet bod

comes electrified positively, and the gas
escaping negatively electrified from the
force Of the fall, and light impurities in
the water diminish the effect considera-
bly,. The essential conditions Of cleo
