A Real Teachers. Meeting.


For the first time in the history of
the North Carolina Teachers AS
sembly, the authorities in charge of
the annual meeting have put aside
all appeals to the flesh, and this year
they appeal to those who have charge
of the intellectual and moral training OF
the children to attend meeting where
professional subjects only will be dis
cuSSed with no possibility of being
disturbed by side discussions as to the
latest and most up-to-date methods of
fishing and boating. Without further
reference to the past, / believe every
true teacher in North Carolina APP
proves the present plan of having a
real teachers meeting this year. A
closer organization of the teachers of
the State is q necessity, If the teachers
expect to lead the educational progress
in North Carolina. A real gathering
of professional teachers, carrying out
such a program as the officers of
the assembly have provided, will do
no little to further the general cause
of education as we'll as hasten the time
when we shall have real teachers
association, acting for the educational
progress of the State and speaking
with one voice against ignorance and
narrow sectional and county preJu-
dices. We must have better teachers
for the pubic ScnOOlS, we must nave
better supervision of those schools; We
must have fewer white schools houses
and better ones; We must have some
effective system of negro education;
we must have more children in the
schools; we must have a system of
country high schools and we must
have more money for education than
is now being provided by the people.
If every North Carolina teacher Will
do his duty and attend the assembly
this year and sincerely resolve that
better things for the children ought to
be made a reality, and at the same
time resolve to perfect such an organ
iZation as will necessarily assist in
answering the prayer of the children
for light, then it will not be long till
the North Carolina Teachers Assembly
will be as powerful a factor in con-
structive educational progress as is
the North Carolina Medical Society or
the Bar Association in other fields of
social endeaVor.

the chief reason for this is that the

and practical value to all classes of

SOME THINGS WORTH SEEING IN GREENSBORO

effort is needed, and the North Caro-
lima Teachers Association ought to
have large place in this onward
movement. Rural schools need to be
improved and multiplied. A we'll reg
ulated system of high schools is in its
infancy. These need to be firmly es-
tablished and made to prepare for
college those who will go there, and
to give a good English education to
those who can't go to college. The
colleges and high schools need to be
adjusted and made to supplement each
other. The colleges need firmer re-
quirements for admission and higher
standards of work. There is a crying
need for the reformation of college
athletics. Here is a moral evil that
is eating out the very heart of some
of our colleges. Back OF all these
progressive movements must be put an
intelligent and organized public senti-
ment, and one important channel
through which this sentiment must
work is the Teachers Assembly. Let's
have this year a big gathering OF
teachers and workers for progress in
North Carolina.
Yours very sincerely,
