look at the early spring buds and flow
ers YOU will notice that those which are
likely to be exposed to frost, such as
catkins or willow and hazel, are well
protected by a thick covering of soft

EDUCATIONAL MATTERS.
items of Interest to the Teachers Of
Missouri From the Department
of Education.

The recent enactment providing
that teachers certificates shall be re-
newed without fee will reduce the
amount paid the county commission
er for services and this is to be re-
GREETED for this official has never re-
ceived adequate remuneration. The
constant changing in the teaching
corps will not, however, make so
great reduction as some have sup
posed because renewals are based on
continuance in teaching and on at
tendance on summer schools.
The National Educational ~associa-
ton meets in Boston this year July
6-10. There can be no better and
more interesting place for teachers to
visit. Much of the best in our nations
history and literature is associated
with Boston and vicinity. There will
be an effort made by the delegates
from Missouri to have the annual
meeting of this great organization in
1904 in st. Louis in connection with
the educational congresses planned
by the Worlds fair.
There seems to be a misunderstand-
ing in regard to the three days meet
ing of teachers in the fall. 1t is to be
a real associate of teachers and those
interested in schools. At this associa-
ton all the teachers of the county
will come together, become acquaint-
ed, compare ideas and hear topics dis
cussed by the ablest members of tkeir
profession. One newspaper in com.
menting on this subject regrets the
passing of the summer institute, say
ing that a fall meeting to be devoted
to examinations will take it's place.
This is a mistake. The three regular
examinations are held as heretofore
on the fourth Saturday and the pre-
ceding Friday in March, June and Au-
gust. The fall meeting or association
will be held on the last three days of
some week in September, October, No
vember or December. Let us hope
that much real profit and pleasure
will be realized in the change.
Many teachers regret the passing Of
the summer institute. While there II
no law requiring their organization
and attendance on them is not com
pulsory, it is believed that county
boards of education will provide vol
unteer institutes or local summel
schools for young, inexperienced
teachers. The first law compelling at
tendance on Institutes was enacted il
1891. Many counties had most excel
lent Institutes in the seventies ant
eighties. Many will have them yet
Under the present law teachers whit
expect to continue in the professio,
will avail themselves of the opportun
ity to attend summer schools.
