"A large adience assembled at Gem

ticnS.
The session was opened by the read
ing OF paper by A. E. Engstrom, of
Cannon Falls, on Elementary Nor

Schools"
He said that, in order to give room
for growth the law should be amended
to delegate more discretionary powers
to the board in charge. The board
should have the power to prescribe a
course of study in the department; the
requisites for admission to the class,
the minimum and the maximum num-
Der of pupils to be required in each
class and other essential qualifications.
President l.. c. Lord, of Moorhead,
suggested that, in the selection of
library, some of the determining fac
tors of school library should be:
The number and kind of books in
the home, the reading and taste of
those who are to direct the students
reading, the amount of money avail
able and the amount of reading
already done by those for whom the
library is bought"

be an enthusiastic specialist in this
field, and should arouse interest and
set tie student to delving after hidden
treasures.
Officers of the high school section for
the new year were elected as follows:
President, F. A. Weld, of Saltwater;
vice president, J. L. Torrens. of Red
wood Falls; secretary, e. G.. Adams,
of Mortified.
A resolution was proposed by Supt.
q. N. Waugh and adopted, to the effect
that the library commissioners be re-
quested to revise the regulations, if
necessary, in such way as to enable
placing on the library a list of all sets
of books recommended by Inspector
Arton. It was also decided to have an
apparatus for the high school manu-
featured at a cost covering about
the cost of the material.

out this plan he will be sure to please

A short business session was then
held. The nominating committee re-

President, S. S. Parr, of ST. Cloud;

Applications were received from the
principals of the graded schools and

admitted as departments of the asso-

and even her health to the growth of her
school, she increases her enrolment some
what. But how long do such pupils stay with
her? About two-thirds Of all the pupils in
Minnesota are enrolled in country schools,
and ninety nine one hundredths of them never
go anywhere else. One-ffth Of these do not
even spend forty days in year with her, and
hye-sixths Of them attend the school very ir-
regularly.
She buys a few things herself, and at the
end or the second month she finds that after
cational journal, expense Of the summer
school, teachers meeting, etc.. the rest OF her
earnings has become as intangible as many
OF her castles in the air.
She begins to think Of an advance in her
salary for next year, but, looking about her
she finds that others-as good as he is-have
taught several years without much increase
in their income
Would it be strange if-on hearing even a
small portion only of all the remarks made
concerning her and her work-she would get
sHe ought to gos and, would so home, II 1t
were not so far from town, etc.
And yet. in spite OF all these, and many
other detecting influences, within few years
many a faithful country school teacher has
produced marvellous changes in the conditions
of just such Districts
The people who immigrated from different
countries short time ago come together
at the annual meeting, and, by their discus
slons, they show that they are all united IN
the effort to SECURE a good school for the
coming year. few terms with good teacn-
er have sufficed to blend many of their dia-
metrically opposed educational views into con-
ceptions which furnish a fertile soil upon
which true educational work can flourish.
What seemed to them at first as means in
the hands of the government of this nation
to break down their long cherished opinions
begins to appear to them as a gem much
to be desired for themselves and their chill
dren. &c.
Is it necessary to say that tardiness has
reached its lowest water mark and that the
tide, and that parents can hardly keep their
children away from the schoo, where previous
ly they found II almost impossible TO get
them to the school? 1t seems natural for
the pupils that the neatness of their appear
ance in dress and deeds must grow, as 1t
seems natural that apples are raised on ap-
pie trees and nowhere else.

a little energy, to get next years ses-
sion. The coming session meets at
Buffalo, N. Y, and if this state would
send a large delegation to that meet
ing and do a little work he felt sure
it could secure the convention. It's
meeting here would, of course, be of
great benefit and pleasure to all local
educators. Prof. Shepard, Of Winona,
one of the national officers, followed.
He said he had attended several meet
ingS of the national association, all
of which were very pleasurable and
profitable. AS one of the national
officers, he pledged his services to help
secure the next meeting for this state.
He recognized the good which local
teachers would gain and urged them
all to make an effort to go to Buffalo.
Supt. Greenwood, of Kansas City,
who is also a national officer, said that
the best schools in the United States
are located in the Mississippi valley,
and for that reason this ought to
get the next meeting. He believed the
feeling among the national members
was favorable to that plan, and he
felt confident that the meeting next
year would be held in the Twin Cit
les. But it would be advisable for all
Minnesotans to go to Buffalo who
could. He believed the Mississippi
valley states would favor such a plan,
and he knew that his state would work
to such an end. He would see that
at their next state association meeting
resolutions pledging the votes of that
state for Minnesota would be passed.
He then spoke of some of the advan-
tages to- be gained from the meeting.
The greatest of these is the fact that
one comes in contact with the lead
ing educators of the day. Meeting in
a social way and exchanging expert
St. Paul daily globe., 1896-01-03

have been seen not long ago on the play
ground, divided up into small groups of
Germans, Norwegfans, Danes, Swedes, ETC.,
each party eyeingc the aothers with prejudice
Others have not only learned since then from
their country school teacher to play together
and to chat freely. with. one another in good
English, but. more than that, they have
taught them to understand and use the Ian
guage of sympathy with their fellow pupils.
They are no longer Germans, Swedes, ETC.,
but they have been changed into young
Americans, who viii at the proper time show
to the world that they have a real and abid-
ing interest in and are loyal to the flag of
this country as any citizen claiming to be a
direct descendant 9of the Mayiiower people.
And what seems still more admirable is that
all this has been accomplished without dis
t tH1bng hh;t the home life q shaking in any way
lgion views and their church practice.
And who are these country school teachers
that have made such sweeping changes among
In many ceases these heroes and heroines
are boys and girls less than twenty five years
old. They have not received the proper train
ing for their professional work and this
scholarship is very often not above the quail
ifcation sought and found in the eighth
grade, Very few Of them have ever looked into
school building. Hardly any of them have
any knowledge of the outside world from per-
sonal observation.
Until lately the state has done very little
for the country school teacher. The county
Superintendent has visited her once or twice
some terms, and not at all some other terms;
he has sat down with her for about half an
hour after a half days session, and has
given her such advice and encouragement
as he had, he has confused her or helped her
as the case happened to be. But besides that
and some of his high=fown or wisely chosen
remarks at teachers meetings and on
few other occasions, she has received very
meager help from all sources combined. -
And yet, it is not a fact that from such weak
country school teachers, faithful and true to
their charge, great men have received their
first inspiration to become what the world
now knows them to have been in their later
years? The highest type of manhood and
wpmanhood has often terminated in the class
OF country school teacher.
If this has been effected by the country
school teacher of the past, what may be ex-

He said the first systematic humane

and Massachusetts about the time OF
the close of the late war;, at first the
growth of the societies was slow, but
during the past few years they have
been gaining rapidly and have become
a powerful factor in the affairs of the
day. Minnesota was the ninth state in
the Union to take up the work, and
since the organization of the state So
ciety D. r. Noyes has been the pres
