MATTERS EDUCATIONAL.
Column Conducted By The Garrett
County Teachers Association.


With this issue the column de-
voted to educational matters will
be discontinued. The schools will
close in few weeks and it is
thought that this is the proper
time TO bring it to a close. Fur
thermore, the judges will require
some time in which to pass upon
the merits of the several articles
which have been sent in, so that
the proper award of the prize
which has been offered may be
made. The judges will be in
structed to make the award upon
the terms upon which the prize
was announced, that is, as going
"to the person who contributes
an article which contains the most
practical suggestions for the local
schools of the county, suggestions
which will go to make better and
and more thorough the pedagogi-
cal work of our schools" These
are the words which were used in
the original announcement pub
lished December 27th. AS there
have been large number Of con-
tributions submitted which will
come under this requirement, the
judges will have no easy task in
deciding which one contains the
most practical suggestions for the
local schools. The award will be
announced in the local press as
soon as the judges make their de
cision known, which is thought
will be reached within week or
so.
There have been many things
said which were very sharp and
others which were very dull; how
ever, both sharp and dull things
are needed in this life of ours in
order to make it progressive. For
the hoe is as useful as the razor.
We need both. So in this column
all sorts of suggestions and ideas
have been advanced. However, if
there has been one teacher who has
received inspiration or one parent
who has had pointed out to him or
her their part in the school system,
then the work and the venture has
been a grand success.
The President of the Teachers
Association thanks all Of those
who have contributed to the col
umn and who have from time to
time sent in ideas and suggestions.
And in the name of the teachers
Of the county, and for the Teach
ers' Association, the president
thanks most heartily the newspa-
pers of Oakland for their hearty
cooperation in giving so much
space and ideas which have great
ly increased the usefulness of the
publications which have appeared
each week.
Two contributions were received
which were not published. One
was on GIammer and another on
Methods. Both of these will be
given to the judges and will be in
cluded in the number eligible for
the prize. The former one was
not published because it was re-
ceived too late.

THE REAL TEACHING.

Teaching is character building.
Character is essentially product
of education and must tend toward
perfection. If the standard of edu
cation be wrong, the character will
be defective; but if the standard
be ideal the result will be a per-

President Teachers Association

The articles in the series which
have been Published in the local
papers during the past few weeks
have been written by teachers. So
it is thought that the following
contribution will have an added
attractiveness in that it does not
come from a school teacher but
from minister. AT the invitation
of the president of the Teachers
Association of this county, Rev.
John A. McClelland, pastor of the
Presbyterian Church in Oakland,
has contributed the following arti-
Gle containing a few thoughts
about educational matters:
ut has hec1 with pleasure and
profit that I lave perused the COL
umns Of Oakland papers given to
educational matters. The strength
and range of the topics discussed
gives me greater respect than ever
for and shows what kind of stuff
the average Garrett County teach
er is made of, The contributions,
relative to Immoral Symbols"
and "Who is the Back bone of the
Schools?-the Parents, deserves
special mention. After reading
these splendid papers, l could not
but feel sorry for these teachers;
how they are handicapped in put
ting into practice their fine ideals.
