The teachers meeting held here last
Saturday was not quite satisfactory
in the matter of attendance. But the
teachers present entered into the dis
cussions with good spirit and it was
far from being a failure as far as the
fulfllment of the real purposes of the
meeting was concerned The small
attendance was no doubt due to the
counter-meeting held at Zanderville
the same day, many teachers attend
ing that meeting, who would other
wise have been present at the Mishi
colt meeting. Supt. Patzer called in
during the afternoon session and Of
course was called upon. He gave the
teachers the benefit of suggestive
talk on reading. Later in the day
Principal Dassler of Two Rivers and
DR.. Buschman also of Two Rivers
called in but they came too late to
take any active part in the proceedings.
The programme committee has draft
ed a programme for the next meeting,
to be held March 10th. 1t may be seen
elsewhere in this paper An interest
IN these teachers meetings on the
part of the general public is very de
sirable and it is hoped that the debate
at the next meeting will serve to at
tract many who though not actively
engaged in the profession of teaching.
