Teachers District Meeting at Good
Water.

Despite the inclement weather
and SO much sickness in our vi
cinfty, the teachers district meet
ing at Goodwater last Saturday
was a decided success. The alb
.sence Of many teachers prevented
the presentation of the subjects
named on the program. Those
present did themselves and their
subjects great credit. Their dis.
cussions were both interesting and
beneficial. At this meeting it was
established beyond doubt that the
greatest problem before the peo-
pie in our county is the improve
ment of rural schools. While
the colleges of our State and the
various graded and high schools
in our. county are doing effective
work in the great cause of educa-
ton, we regret to notice the de-
fciency that to certain extent
has characterized the rural
schools-the schools in which
more than Is per cont. of the
boys and girls of our county re-
ceive their only educational train
ing,
All of this and more was
brought forth and emphasized at
our good meeting. One teacher
said, THAT it has been charged
that many pupils after attending
our country rural schools (eyen
session after SESSION. are not able
to read, write, spell and figure. p"
Good instrumental music was
furnished by our local string
band, consisting of violins and
guitars. Vocal music was good
and abundant. Two songs (both
solos) deserve special notice-one,
"Annie Laurie the other,
"Coming Through the Rye
At 1 O'Clock p. NJ. we enjoyed a
splendid feast, dinner pre-
pared by the female pupils and
the lady friends of Good Water
school. After dinner the sub
ject of spelling was taken up for
discussion; when the aspects in
dicated bad weather, SO we were
forced to adjourn-feeling that
great social and educational bene-
fits are to be found in Teachers
District meetings.

able dramatist, Robert Bill Loug-
