Miss Fondell Of Davis gave one of
the finest papers We have ever heard
ON "Aristocrats in our profession "
We will let the paper speak for itself

An earnest tall, given by that indie
latigable worker, superintendent =.
w. Horn of sherman, will never be
forgotten by those who heard it. Su.
perintondent Horn assured the teach
ors that IL their pupils could Concen.
rate their minds upon a given subject.
IL they were truthful and honorable.
IL they could express themselves nu

objects, that the teacher need not feel

The teachers of the Chickasaw Ma

pluck and energy. They appointed q
school board of examiners cOnsistinl

Superintendent Harris of Sulphur ant
Superintendent Beck of Tishoming,

standard reputation. When il Is re
membered that the teachers them
selves voted this obligation upon
themselves aud that it is not tn,
proclamation OF a state superintend
ent. who we have not, the public mus
admit that our teachers possess M
small amount of sterling worth.
Owing to the fact that it is the IN
tention OF the teachers to attend the
st. LOUIS Fair no summer normal viii
be held under the auspices of the as
sociation
superintendent Horn had on eXhi
tion work from all the grades in the
Sherman schools, and the ArdmOrC
teachers and superintendent were not
q little surprised and leighted &c
note that the work sent to the Worlds
Fair exhibit from the Ardmore schools
Outclassed that of the Sherman
schools. This fact aroused more en-
thusiasm among ArdmOre teachers
than any other feature Of the conven
uon, as the Sherman schools rank
among the best of our southern neigh
bors
Madill captured the entire associa
tion by her delightful whole-souled
hospitality, and none will forget the
pleasant day spent with her hospitabl,
people.
The association closed on Saturday
morning to meet at Ada at the next
convention
You will find in our house the lates
designs in ties, the new styles in col
lars, the newest things in men'i
