Teachers Association.

EDITOR ADVERTISER: The Lau-
rens County Teachers Association
met in the Court House, Saturday,
March 8, 1901. The meeting was
called to order by President J A.
Madden. In the absence Of the
Secretary, B. Y. Culbertson was
appointed pro tenn.
The business matter pertaining
to borrowing money by the county
authorities TO pay teachers claims
came up for consideration first.
Superintendent G. f. Brooks stated
the steps taken by the County
Board and announced that ar
engagements would be effected in a
short while to make payment
monthly.
A lesson in denominate numbers
conducted by j.. b. Watkins
was participated in by nearly
every teacher present. Several
interesting methods Of teaching
denOminate numbers were pre-
sented and discussed. A majority
OF the class favored a complete
analysis Of all work, requiring the
pupil u state clearly on the board
every step i'm the operation, and
then ~ give intelligently an oral
explain :tion Of his work. Every
teacher seemed to be eager for the
best method.
Miss Mary Heliams then con-
Quoted n lesson in percentage, Civ
ing her plan Of presenting this sub
jrct to children. Miss Mary has
decidedly correct views Of school
room work and knows how to make
study interesting and pleasant to
her pupils.
During these lessons several
novel devices of illustrating arith-
metlcal principles we're advanced
by different teachers. The three
river device OF illustrating the
principle Of changing from one
weight to another impresses us as
deserving special mention, because
OF its peculiar merit. This was
given by Prof. B. Y. Culbertson,
who has used it to advantage.
Rev. w. B. Duncan was then in
troduced. Mr.. Duncan had been
invited by the Executive Commit
teo to make an address at this
meeting. His subject was: "rhe
Teacher as a Man-maker." He
showed that God had made but
one man (Adam) complete, that
everything In the universe is a fac
tor in making a perfect man, and
that the teacher Is the greatest of
these factors. He Impressed the
thought that, as the teacher has
the mental training Of the child,
he must necessarily effect the
moral, because of the close connec
ton between the two natures. The
speaker emphasized the fact that
the impress OF the teachers char
acter will be indelibly sta mped up
on the pupils life, and exhorted
the teachers to guard we'll the In
fluence exerted. The address was
full Of valuable instruction, clearly
illustrated, ard was we'll received.
The thanks of the Association
were rendered Mr.. Duncan for his
interesting address, and a motion
was made and adopted by a rising
vote electing him an honorary
member of the Association.
On motion made and adopted,
Supt. G. +. Brooks was appointed
TO ask the county papers to devote
a portion OF their space to educa-
ton, and, il granted, to act as
editor Of a Teachers Column.
This was the most interesting
and important meeting the Asso-
tion has enjoyed for some time, and
we are sorry that many of our
teachers yer absent.

The Poor be with us Always,

III INC cioSlnS hours OF the 06ih Con
gress. when Talbert, Latimsr and Ell
lott were battling for the miserable
plttance of Il quarter of Il million for
our Exposition, Payne, Of New York,
the leader of a robber band the Re-
publican majority, twitted them upon
the poverty Of our State. How else but
poverty could be our lot with every
man North of Mason and DiNon's line
for u hundred years a thief and gorg-
ing upon our earnings. John Randolph,
a patrician and gcntlcmanly Nirginian,
was the first to announce to the South
the thieving propensities Of the New
~EnglandcrS and our sure Inheritance of
poverty. He understood the Yankees
by instinct, and in words of lightning
warned his counUrymen. The great
West was settled mostly by Europeans,
but they got their inspiration from the
Yankees and like produces like. New
gentleman Daniel Webster. The fact
is ineXplicable, anomalous, paradoxi-
cal. 1t is sad to think that Delaware,
Maryland, New Jersey and West Nir-
ginia have pulled out from among us,
but there is consolation: whon we con-
clude TO swing a vagabond there is no
way to stop us. That we can still enjoy
aiynchlnS 10 Il proper case, is o
the only privilege left US.

The times appear out of Joint and the
twentieth century does not give prom
ise of dovelike peace The Indications
the promotion Of Teddy Roosevelt to
high political position is not the least
significant. 1T is not unlikely that
Cubas relations to this country will
make trouble the Cubans are rcs,ive
and Uncle Sam will not hesitate to play
the wof incident with the lamb. The
Nicaragua Canal and the CLAYTON
Bulwer Treaty keep England and the
United States with ugly faces; Russia
is settling down in North China and IN
the teeth of the other Powers, and
along the Danube rumors OF commOtion
come with warlike tendencies. Certainly
the Indications point TO a Strenuous"
opening OF the now century.
