Address by Prof. Thomas Fitz

Faith of the Teacher"
1t will be noticed that the two main
topics for discussion are Grading in
Rural Schools and the Textbook
Question" both Of which are of the
utmost Importance to school teach
ers and 10 the educational interests
Of the county. Committees will be
appointed to report on both OF these
subjects. The regular query box"
discussions will be held from time to
time during the meeting, and it is
earnestly hoped that all teachers
will try to prepare themselves on
some Of the topics suggested as well
as on any that they may wish to
suggest themselves. There is OBJ
viously no benefit to be derived from
a meeting Of this nature by any one,
unless he or she is willing to con-
tribute some benefit TO it.
Attention is again called to the list
of lectures that we have been happy
to secure from distinguished educa-
tors of our State. To these, as well
rs to the efforts of our own teachers,
the public is cordially invited
The place of meeting will be pub
lished in the next weeks issue Of this
paper.
Edgar Sydenstricker,
John D. Grant, Jr., President.
