The Teachers Met at Glass.

The Obion County Educationa
Association held an interesting
session at Glass last Saturday
About twenty teachers were pres
emit, and an interesting program
was rendered. Devotional exer
eises were conducted by Elder It.
HI. Mills. The welcome address
was made by Prof 0. M. Hinton,
in an able, ornate speech. Prof.
Williams being absent, Prof. w. H
Cook responded to the welcome IN
appropriate remarks.
The "Aims of Educational
Meetings" was discussed by Prots.
Parrish, Will Moore, Cook, Burney.
Esq. Ogilvie and others.
Mrs. M. A. Gaulden read an able
paper on "This One Thing l
Teach" in which she advocated
thoroughness in teaching language
and primary work in general.
In the afternoon Prof Robt
Oglesby, of Obion, read an able pa
per on son the greatest need of the
hour from a teachers standpoint. +"
The paper was characteristic of
Oglesby, who never speaks without
saying something interesting, in
structive and pleasing.
"Duties and Responsibilities of
County Superintendent" was dis
cussed by Prots. Jim Moore and w.
H. Cook. The speakers empha-
sized the responsibilities of those
who hold such Offices. They showed
that the duties OF Superintendents
are not merely the receiving and
making reports, holding examina-
tons and keeping Office, but that
the greatest and most important
work of the Superintendent should
be to direct the educational forces
of the county, to impress interest
and enthusiasm among the teach
ers, to work up interest in County
and State institutes and assocla-
tions, to take active part in all en-
terprises that tend to the upbuild-
ing of all educational institutions,
and public-school work. Prof. Will
Moore also spoke on the subject
and said he considered the duties |
and responsibilities of the Superin-
tendent great, urging that it were
better to have no Superintendent at
all than to have an incompetent
one.
The proceedings we're inter-
spersed with excellent instrumental
and vocal music, furnished by |
Misses Reynolds, Bonner, Reville,
Wells and others.
All in all, the meeting was in
teresting. The people of Glass,
ever noted for their hospitality, en-
tertained the vieitors royalty. The
writer hopes to meet with these
good people often. rof. Moore,
Principal OF the TiptonyiIle High
School drove % miles to meet with
us, and his presence and interest
was appreciated by all.

to me on the railroad enterprise from
Tiptonyille 10 Union City, expressing
your opinion that the people Of your
city would act more promptly in the
matter Of taking stock than they did
On my last visit. and that your idea
was for me to come back and have
further talk to the business men Of
Union City.
1 am so anxious for a railroad into
FAKE County that / would 90 any
where at any time to accomplish the
result. viii undertake to get up
$4,000 stock in Lake County for grad
Ing and tying the road, and finance
selling bonds for rails and rolling
stock If s50,O00 can be obtained else
where. do not think it would re-
qpire over $4,000 and certainly not
over 100000.
Please sound your business men
promptly, and If you think afterwards
anything can be done, set your time
and Will be on hand.

Little Clara was loudly applauded on

pressed around her to present their con-
