pose OF discussing those questions "hlch

tested much interest in these monthly
gatherings. In fact, the numbers have
been so great that the meetings nave
become almost unwieldly. 1t is now
thought best to have the teachers OF
the city classified. The grammar grades
will be divided into two classes, and the
teachers of the primary grades Will TORN
another class. Each class or organiza-
ton will hold separate meetings,
The public schools of the city have
made one distinctly new move this ses-
sion. Never before has SO much atten-
ton been given in the schools to nature
study" BY nature study is meant the
teaching Of important facts about plants
and animals The idea Of mature study
has caught every teacher in Richmond
from principals to those painstaking
ladies who point out the letters of the
alphabet on the blackboard. This com
paratively new study in the schools OF
