A reading exercise followed, con
Quoted by Miss Boyer with her
seventh grade. 1t is not an easy
task for pupils of that age to read
from new selection to an audience
of critical strangers, and, in the
writer's judgment, they acquitted
themselves with credit to both
teacher and pupil. The reading ex-
efcise raised severalquestions: How
did the pupils acquire the new words?''
"Did they read with sufficient ex-
pression?" etc.
For want OF time, the last topic on
the program, History by Mr..
Loop, had to be omitted.
These meetings must certainly be
of great benefit to the schools of the
county, and it speaks well for the
teachers that the association has
been so well maintained.
1t was agreed that election of off
GERS and organiza tion for the ensuing
school year should be postponed to
institute week next fall.

five reasons, briefly but forcibly
stated, why the elements of vocal
music should be taught, even in the
country school,
l.. It is part Of an education. A
person who is ignorant of music can
not be considered educated.
2. We need music in life-in the
home, in school, in the church.
3. Lifesmeans more. The children
notice accent in bells, in marching,
etc, and observe pitch in bells and
whistles.
4. Music has reforming infiu-
ence.
5. Children love music.
The discussion showed that the
teachers all conceded the Importance
of the subject, but some questioned
their ability to teach it.
Miss Williams set forth the merits
of the New Education Readers, en-
phasizing the value of phonic drills
which the books give. This and sim
liar discussions in the previous meet
ings have revealed tendency among
