A meeting of the teachers of the city

A meeting of the teachers of the city
schools took place yesterday at the
High school assemblyroom, and was
presided over by Miss M. Adelaide Hol-
ton, acting superintendent. Miss Hilla
RoWberry of the Webster school was
first announced, who read an excellent
paper upon Training to Self-reliance,"

endorsed.
Miss Katherine E. Dopp, critic teach
er in the State Normal Training school,
was afterward introduced, who gave
an able treatment of THE Social AS
poets of the Curriculum" and was
accorded a very careful hearing.
The paper by Miss Dopp having been
read, Mr.. Bender of the jackson school
offered some resolutions condemning
the articles that have been appearing
in the Tribune over the pseudonym of
| Citizen" and which attacked vehem-
emily the supervising corps in the city
schools, as well as the efficiency of the
supervision obtaining here. Mr.. Ben
der's resolutions defended the schools
most vigorously, and the spirit mani
| tested in them was of a sterling char
acter. The teaching force, however,
evidently intended to disregard ''Citi-
zens" attacks, and voted against the
resolutions.
