Teachers Rally and Association


The teachers rally and associa ton
which were held in Port Huron Janu-
airy 25thsand Goth was the most in
teresting event ever held III the county.
Much credit is due Com. X. Il. Fair
man for the excellent programme for
each occasion which he proposed and
the st. Clair county teachers realize
the value of his service in educational
work. The following is brief sum-
mary of the Rally:
The exercises were opened with
prayer by Rev. Thomas Chalmers; this
was followed by the address of well
come by Com. X. b. Fairman which
was well received and in which he
welcomed the teachers of the county
to the city and gave over the keys to
them with us.
"The Schools of Fifty Years Ago"
had many strange features not notice
able to-day. The change 'twixt now
and then is marvellous. What was
right and customary then would be
ridiculous to-day.
"The Value of the Study of History"
as presented by j. Stewart Lathers of
Memphis, contained many valuable
points; it showed careful thought, ex-
tensiye reading and much time.
manual Training in the Public
Schools" was departure from the
general RIM of subjects at teachers
meetings. The teachers of the county
can feel justly proud of Rev. John
Monday who presented the paper on
the above topic. 1t was the product
of careful thought; it presented ideas
worthy the attention of school boards
and the state; it offered a remedy for
the decrease of crime; it put manual
labor on the same plane with profess
sional labor: 1t advised all whether
rich or poor, to prepare to gain a
Livelihood.
schools asa Preparation for Citizen
ship by O'Brien j. Atkinson, was II
valuable paper. The subject received
the treatment that it merited by Mr..
Atkinson whose broad views, exten.
sive reading, close observation and
democratic spirit made every sentence
an inspiration to the teacher.
Supt. Beazsll treated the subject
"The Public Schools and the Condi.
tons of Their Success" in such a way
NJ to show that he understood his SUBJ
ject. He first pointed out the steps
leading up to our present school sys-
tenn. In referring to the conditions of
success, he put ability to teach and
character first in his pedagogical plat
from.
"The Power of Personality" by Rev.
Thomas Chalmers was replete with
illustrations from history to show what
the power of personality can do.
The last speaker of the evening was
Supt. j. w. Simmons of Owosso on
character Building" His subject,
though old, was full of new inspiration.
The music of the evening was fur
nished by Miss Agnes Chaplin, Miss
Ellie Knapp, and Messrs Whipple and
Thompson of the High School.
The topics discussed on Saturday
were the Observation-Disclosures School
Library, "Pupils' Reading Circle"
"That Boy, "The Marble Waiteth'
and Physical Training"

The Poor Ambassadors.

WASHINGTON, Jan 6-An article in 3
morning paper to day contains state
ment that will be OF special interest to
the West. The object Of the whole state
ment, based on information given out at
the department Of state, is to have con-
gress increase the pay OF ambassadors
from $4,000 per year to 0,000 per year.
It is held thot while there might be
di position not TO do this, it should be
recalled that $3.50 600 expended annually
in salaries OF the five ambassadors is an
insignificant amount when compared
with the great good these officials might
have done in the immediate past. In
this connection the following paragraph
is tskan from the inspired effort: at
is well Known to our state depart
ment that Mr.. RunyOn would Ger"
tainly have succeeded in bringing about
q satisfactory settlement Of the meat ex-
clueion b f sir in Germany had he been al
