| The teachers meeting of Dec 9th held
at Newtonburgn was the most success
full held in that section for the past num-
Der of years. The attendance and the
spirit of the teachers clearly showed
! their intention of making the meeting
amount to as much as they Were intend
ed for and to derive all possible benefit
from them. Let us hope that that spir-
it of the teachers which has SO recently
awakened from its dormant state of in
action will continue to the last of this
years series of meetings and beyond.
The preparation bv the teachers on the
program and the presentation of the as
signed subjects gave the fellow teachers
an idea of what must be done to make
meeting interesting as well as educa-
ting 1t infused the fellow teachers with
d higher ambition as relates to their
school wo1k and teachers meetings.
1t is to be hoped that those present
will persuade those that We're absent, as
far as in their power, to be present at
the next meeting and partake i'll the
work outlined The outline of the work
for the meetings seems to strike in ac
cord with the teachers of this section.
For the past years this section has had
poor meetings beth in attendance and
work done Where the fault lies we are
a. a loss to say, but this much we do be-
leve, that tie outline of this years work
as agreed upon by the Supt, and the ex
ecutive committee, deserves its share of
praise as far as the success of these meet
ings are concerned.
We We're agreeably surprised to find
| that a number of the Third Ward teach
ers including Prin. A. Guttmann had
come to participate in the work of our
only to listen, but also to take hold of the
work and by their discussions TO give
Others a chance to profit by their expert
ence. We most sincerely thank them
for their visit and hope that they do not
regret their coming. In the future if
weather and distance permits, we hope
to have occasion to welcome them again
and enliyen our meetings by spirited dis
cussions
The program for the next meeting will
appear in later issue of this paper.
Com
The committee on library has mad
considerable to do the past week in
making selections. The need of some
one person to take charge of the work
and devote her whole time to it, being
aided by the suggestions of the commit
tee becomes more apparent from day to
day. 1t requires continuous labor and
not an occasional hour snatched from
other duties. The old books of the
Jones Library have among them many
that are valuable but series are broken
and duplication is not advisable.
The program for the r. r. Section of
the NJ. c. T. A. which meets at Cato,
January 10, is as follows:
Geography, Chap. Iv.......... Charles Meisnest
School Managemt, pages 1915, P. J. Linane
Current History. ...!............... p Mdnacht
Every teacher who can attend should
do so and thereby make the meeting
success.
Prin. John E. Riordan of Sheboygan
is dying at San Antonio. Tex Sheboy-
gan principals seem to be subjects for
consumption. Principal Grogan some
years ago was forced to resign because
of i'll health, went to California and later
to Colorado where he died
Supt Christensen has had fall for
school visitation which beats the record
He has made the best possible use of it.
