COUNTY ItAvl,l,,.dS
ASSOCIATION MEETS
Constitution Adopted. = New
Grade List and Examina-
tions Oiscussed.-A
Good Attendance.

Notwithstanding the inclement wealth
er of last Friday morning. the Teachers
Association which was 'held in the Snow
Hill High School. was well attended
Examiner McMaster and members of
the School Board are greatly gratified at
the interest manifested by the teachers
throughout the county. and feel that
their coming together was productive of
much good. John S. Hill, principal of
the Stockton High School. is the presi-
dent of the Association. Ii was pIinci-
pally through his instrumentality that
the Association was organized. as il is
also mainly through his untiring zeal
and efforts that it is held together. AT
ter prayer by Rev. Jameson, and roll
call by Mr. McMaster. the first business
was the discussion OF the Constitution.
which was reported by a committee of
which Rev. Jameson was chairman
The consideration of the Constitution
brought forth considerable discussion,
but it was finally adopted. The remain
der of the morning was devoted to the
discussion of the new grade list, which
has just been adopted by the School
Board. The concensus of opinion among
the teachers was, that when in success
full operation, the new grade list would
be great improvement over the old.
In the afternoon the chief topic of dis
cussion was Examinations. which was
introduced by Miss Nettie Carey, of
Berlin. in carefully prepared paper
Miss Carey made the point that the
teacher, and not the principal of grad
ed school. should pass upon the fitness
of pupil for promotion. Miss Elma
Bratten advanced the idea that when /,
pupil has made an average of 90 per
cent. in daily recitations, he should be
promoted without examination. This
brought forth considerable discussion.
II was decided by the Association. the
Examiner concurring, that the Examin-
er should make out uniform examina-
tions for the 4th, 5th, 9Th. and 7th grades,
in the different schools of the county for
the next school year. The first exami-
nations under this uniform schedule
will take place at the middle of the next
school year. February. 1905. 1t was
also decided that no dues should be col
lected from the members of the Associa-
tion. Mr.. McMaster giving it as his
opinion that the School Board would
pay all necessary expenses, such as sta
tionery, literature, etc.
The committee on Legislation. of
which John 1. Coulbourn. principal of
Snow Hill School. is chairman. made a
report. Examiner McMaster and Mr.
Coulbourn were named n committee TO
go to Annapolis this winter in the inter
est of the proposed school Legislation.
The next meeting of the Association
will take place at the regular meeting
of the Teachers Institute, which will
be held in Snow Hill the last week in
April.

paved are as follows: Main street from

the existing law the city pays one-half
the expense per running foot and the
property owners on either side of the
street one-quarter. The cost of % per
square yard is estimated to be about %

The manufacturer benefits because
he disposes of his surplus stock and
gains or retains a new foreign market.
The tariff has nothing to do with IL,
except that both democratic and re-
publican tariff laws have provided for
rebate OF 80 per cent. o. the duty
on materials imported which enter
into manufactures for export.
Just why the democrats and free
traders object to our manufacturers

Lower Export Prices.

Our democratic friends appear to be
worried over the fact that our manu-
facturers sometimes meet foreign
competitors on their own ground by
cutting prices. There is no denying
that this is sometimes done, and
there is no apology to offer for doing
it. Sometimes il is for one reason,
sometimes for another. Here are a
few given to the industrial commits
sion:
Cash payments and large purchases
in the foreign trade, whereas the do
mastie trade is based on credits and
small purchases.
The drawback or rebate of the tariff
on imported raw material OF goods
manufactured for export.
To overcome the tariff OF other
countries.
To secure new markets.
To hold a market against new COM
petitors.
To clear out surplus stock or to pre-
vent a shutdown and increased cost of
production, and keep mills running
and men employed.
To get rid of samples and out Of
date goods.
Because the expense Of selling and
advertising is less abroad than at
home.
Absolutely no one is injured, and
many are benefited. First, the work
man is benefited, because he has more
employment. If we export $500, o00,-
900 worth OF manufactured goods, no
matter what the selling price, the la
borer gets about $3.50, ooo. 600 of it.
He gets il in the direct manufacture,
in the transportation, in the making
of tools and machinery, the clerical
work-in every process, coming and
going, first, last and all the time.
The farmer benefits because he sells
