AS TO THE TEACHERS MEETINGS.

AS TO THE TEACHERS MEETINGS.
Some time ago THE BEE asked why we
were not having any teachers meetings
this year. There has been an interroga-
tion point in my mind as to that matter
for long while, but L have looked in
vain for any reply. I have imagined a
number of possible explanations, but
thought would just wait and say moth
ing. There are so many mysterious slips
'among all the changes and chances of
this mortal life," especially as member
OF the Board of School Visitors, that am
never much surprised at anything, and
it is always interesting to see the wheels
of the great soclal-political machine 90
round. L have faith that every mans
grist will get ground in due time, and
''that all things work together for good
to those whose hearts are right ;, but at
the same time | wish it to be understood
that have advocated teachers meetings
each year since | was elected a member
! of the board, and that have been TO la
| bor and expense which were gladly Civ
en-, without compensation, to the cause Of
| education. 1 think L have made the sug-
gestion, if not the. motion, every year, to
hold such meetings. The state board is
always glad to send expert educators to
instruct the teachers and visitors and all
who are interested 60 atteRd the meet
ings, the teachers of this town with few
notable exceptions have showna good de-
gree of appreciation ofthe privileges and
[ am not aware that this work has ever
cost the town anything. l am not aware
that any school visitor ever charged for
attending a teachers meeting except
when there was legal meeting of the
board appointed for the same time and
place, and on one such occasion, after
having done half days work to prepare
a report for that meeting, under,appoint-
ment by the board, there was no. record
made of the meeting, notwithstanding
the secretary called it,. to order. and we
agreed to adjourn because Of the absence
of the chairman, and the lateness of the
hour, perhaps, and then we. were accused
of making expense to the town by means
| of teachLrs' meetings. Last October,
when the board organized, made a mo-
ton that the chairman be requested to
arrange for at least one teachers meeting
each term for the present school year.
The motion was adopted. Here endeGh

NJ. L. Elliott, who has opened optica

Scientific fitting OF glasses is one OF tn,
most important duties OF a thorough OPP

cannot be overrated. The delicate or.

Calumet and has fitted up machinery for
grinding lenses and making frames and

They Must Pay.

The supreme court declared valid the
law of 1898 authorizing the governor to
appoint special appraiser to appraise
lands or other property in any county
when the people by petition stated it
to be their belief that property had
been undervalued by the assessors.
The effect of this decision is that the
Weyerhausers, Morton D. Hull & Co.,
and the Winona Iron company, as we'll
as other owners of pine lands will have
to submit to an increase of about 100
per cent in the taxes on their pine land
holdings in 1tasca county, and that
they will have to pay the state the diff
ference between the value at which the
lands we're assessed and their real
value from 1888 up to date.
