ASSOCIATION NOTES.
President Body has the honor of coin
ing new watchword for Oklahoma
teachers, The great trouble with teach
ers is that they don't know enough" Al
though it is generally agreed that no one
has ever reached the limit of culture it
is a ticklish thing to prepare such truths
for home consumption. Certainly no one
could do it who does not stand so near
to the teacher and enjoy their confidence
as President Body does.
Superintendent Harnden of Pawnee
county, is one of the most progressive
and successful superintendent on Okla
homa. He brought one of the largest
delegation to the association and has 100
per cent of his teachers enrolled in the
reading circle work. Pawnee county
teachers are paid, too, while in atten-.
dance at the association.
Superintendent Pool of Purcell has one
of the spiciest and most original papers
of the session on common school gradual
ton. 1t presented much original infor-
nation on Oklahoma school matters. His
failure to enclose stamps, however, to
some of the twenty-three county superin-
tendents with whom he correspondent has
been the occasion of considerable keen,
but good-natured wit.
Mrs. c. Q. Clearinghouse has fully dem
onstrated that woman is at least mans
equal in educational work. She has been
a regular attendant for many years and is
considered the best primary teacher in
Oklahoma.
Professor Nelson D. Pike of Weather
ford is n new man who has shown him
self to be all right

another recent acquisition to the group
of men who are securing recognition for
Oklahoma in excellence of school work.

Dr. Van Vleet's paper on Medical In
spection in Public Schools" was of such
excellence that the association Unani-
mously reuested the School Herald to
publish it. Dr. Van Vleet is a graduate
of Leipzig, Germany, and holds the chair
of biology in Oklahoma University.
In thanking Professor y. f. Butcher,
