The at tendance was the largest at any regu- lar meeting of PoOtatuck Grange in it's history. The room was completely halls and ante-room. After the sing ing of a Grange hymn, Miss Tenders was introduced by the lecturer, A. F.. Smith. In beginning Miss Tenders gave capital address, setting forth the ideals of the teacher. She said in part: '"The ideal of the true teacher is so to conduct her work as to make righteousness attractive, to influence the boys and girls so that they will emulate the worthy traits of the pa triots. What child loves he will feed on. Education makes child more responsive" Miss Tenders then considered the teachers work under Bleaching A person who cannot manage a school cannot hope to be- come a successful teacher. Miss Pen ders believes the teacher can get bet ter results by oral instruction than from the use of books. A teacher should make use of every possible help, of magazine articles, apparatus, any thing to throw light on the study. A third division of the speakers subject was drill, and the fourth, testing. The value of. testing is to let the teacher know how we'll she has done her work. In teaching ask myself: Why am I giving this lesson? In our spelling lessons we uSe hooks but only for reference. sI think, by the way" said Miss Tenders, "I have an ideal class to work with. I encourage the chill dren to read good books, for books are the paths to the greatest pleasure in life. Each child is requested to hand
