There were no very prominent fea-
lures TO the market this morning.
There were cutie few buyers out
early, and perishable goods were pretty
well cleaned up. Strawberries were In
only moderate supply. and the quality
and condition not OF the best. but
everything cleaned up early in the day.
Quite a lot of asparagus has been
dumped into the garbage box the past
few days, but in one way and another
the market has finally cleaned up. Butt

MR.. MARTINS ADDRESS
Says the Most Attractive Homes OF
the Future will be in the
Country,

crs and several trustees at the
meeting of the county teachers as
ISOLATION Saturday. The feature
of the meeting was an address by
O B Martin, the state supcrinten-
dent of education.
r McKittrick, president of
the association, introduced Mr..
Martin, who spoke for about an
hour on Our Attitude Toward
our Schools"
Mr.. Martin said, among other
things that he believed that liber-
al appropriations of public money
for schools would not increase tax
alton, on account Of the increased
value of property.
He said hat he thought our
people paid too much attention to
courts and criminals as compared
to schools and education. lie no.
ticcd in the north west that court
houses were usually on side streets,
and very few people attended
court.
Mr.. Martin, in speaking Of the
m portance Of the country
schools, pred ctcd that
in the future the most attractive
life would he in the country, on
account of the improvements in
electricity ard other inventions
that will be extended to country
homes.
He advocated the teaching of
the domestic sciences in the schools,
and said that a boy should be en-
couragcd, not SO much to become
governor OF president but to be a
master mechanic, a~succcssful bust
ness man or good farmer. Their
talents should be developed along
practical lines.
South Carolina stands at the
foot in the patent Office. In Con,
ncticut one person out Of every
800 is NJ inventor, but in South
Carolina only one out Of $500.
Mr.. Martin said that schools
should have reading rooms, where
newspapers and magazines can be
read by the children. They should
be taught current as well as ancient
history.
At the close Of Mr. Martins adj
dress, President McKittrick said
he popped the teachers would prof
it by his practical suggestions, and
that there would be even a better
teachers association in this county
next year.
The association then adjourned.
to meet again next fall.
