W. E. Rowley prepared good pa
per on "What to do when the Super
intendent comes?" but was not
present to read it. EX-county super
intendent. o. E. Browne, read it
and discussed it very thoroughly. He
admonished our teachers to be natur-
al in the presence of the superintend-
ent, and not to prepare "some shows
for exhibition when he comes so long
as to mislead him as to the real
character Of the WORK which they
are doing.'
The last paper on the program was
presented by Mrs. Marie Castor. Her
subject was ''How and to What Ex-
tent should Literature be associat-
ed with our Country school Work. ("
This paper was scholarly in the ex-
treme, and showed that the heart
and mind of the one from whom it
emanated were all engulfed in their
great life work. There was a request
that her paper be published in full.
An effort will be made to get the
commissioners to have all of the pa
pers published in a pamphlet and
distributed free to all of the teach
ers, school officers and school patrons
in the county.
The county superintendent offered
the following set of resolutions
which were unanimously adopted:
- Whereas, That mysterious messen-
ger called Death, has, with but
slight warning, and for reasons in
comprehensive by human wisdom,
saddened the home Of MI. and Mrs.
A. H. Hubbard by silently stealing
from them their beloved daughter,
Miss Laura, and thereby reduced
our ranks by taking away one of our
most trustworthy and eminently
successful companions; therefore,
Be 1T Resolved, That we. the
teachers of Dawson county, in asso-
citation assembled, realizing the loss
that has befallen our fraternity, the
needful slab, that has been hewn
from the educa tional structure of
our county, and being desirous Of
condoling the bereaved family with
whom we blend our sadness, do here
by extend to them our united SYM
pathy in this their agonizing hour OF
affiiction and deep mourning.
"One by one they are passing away,
Like the sweetest and fairest OF
flowers,
Only blossoming just for day
On this sorrowful earth-land of
ours"
| Resolved, That a copy Of these
resolutions be sent to Mr.. and Mrs.
Hubbard, copy published in the
county papers; and as a further
mark of respect, that. a permanent
copy be inserted in the school re-
cords Of the county.
