u Notes from Graded School.
Prof. M. E. Brockman, of the grad
ed school, has followed the plan this
year OF having regular teachers
meetings: These are held twice a
month for the purpose Of study.
The text book now used is Courses
of Studies and Methods of Teaching,
by Prince. Others suggested by the
State Board of Education will be
adopted. From time to time each
teacher prepares paper on some
phase of school work. The meetings
are valuable in more respects than
one. They not only afford an op-
portunity for study, but are source
of inspiration along professional
lines.
One Of the greatest helps in teach
ing "Things in General" is the Cur
rent Events, weekly paper pub
lished by the Educational Press Co.,
of Springfield, Mass. More than 60
copies are placed among the pupils
of the, Westminster Graded School.
Every teacher above the third grade
devotes the last period every Friday
afternoon to the study OF current
news cleaned from this valuable lit
tie paper. This time is profitably.
