MEETING OF The ALDERMEN
Take No Action On the Building Of the
Academy.

Inc BOARD OF alderman in regu-
lar session last night took no ac-
tion upon the court house mat
ter, a proposition that the county
commissioners had gone around
yesterday waiting for action from
the city.
The city council feels that its
proposition has been made and
today when the county board
meets again this matter will un-
doubtedly be taken up. The city
has not known what to say in
dollars and cents and until it does
the county commissioners will
move slowly.
The city likewise takes no ac-
tion in the Academy of Music
matter as the insurance adjusters
have not done their work COM
pletely. When that has been
adjusted this matter will again
be raised. The board meets again
two weeks from now.
The following matters were
transacted:
The health officer of the city
made the following report for
the month ending January 81:
Number of deaths in the city %.
Of this number eight were white
and twenty.one colored.
Several ordinances were read
by the health officer and he asked
that they be adopted and incor-
porated in the chapter relating
to the Board Of Health.
On motion it was ordered that
the matter Of the ordinances as
read by the health officer be re-
ferred to the mayor and city at
torney with instructions to re-
draft the ordinances and report
at an adjourned meeting of the
board to be held Thursday, Feb
ruary Bird, at 7:3O p. m.
1t was ordered that Alderman
Carpenter be appointed a men,
Der of the board of health vice
Alderman Bowling resigned.
II was further ordered that
Alderman Carpenter be appoint
ed to fill any vacancy made va
cant on any standing committee
by the resignation of Alderman
Bowling.
A petition was read in the mat
ter Of rebuilding the opera house
and it was ordered that action
be deferred until the loss sus-
tanned BY the burning of the
municipal buil3ing has been ad-
juste'.
The street committee reported
In the matter Of work asked for
in Albright" on Albright street
that sufficient grounds cannot be
had for building the sidewalk.
Parties living on Red Cross
street want the sidewalks fixed,
and the street committee recon-
mend that the sidewalk be cut
down and cinders placed on it,
and on motion it was ordered
that this matter be referred to
the street committee with power
to act.
On motion it was ordered that
the sanitary police be instructed
to collect dry closets tax or show
reason why they do not.

A VALUABLE SERVICE.

The Washington correspondent Of
the News and Observer sends his pa
per the following complimentary
reference to the valuable service Of
Hon. Claude Kitchin as Chairman
of the sub-claim committee in the
House of Representatives:
by persistent and continuous
fighting for period Of four years,
Representative Claude kitchin has
saved the government something like
two and a half million dollars, which
is the amount Of the claim of GER
tain torpedo boat companies. Mr.
Kitchin was made chairman of the
Sub-claim committee to investigate
these claims four years ago. He
spent many days in this investlga-
ton and became convinced that the
claims were without merit. It was
the contention Of the torpedo boat
companies that they had lost the
sum asked for in building torpedo
boats, and that their work was lar
gely experimental. Two years ago
Mr.. Kitchin's comprehensive report
which opposed the payment Of the
claim was adopted BY the close vote
of 8 to 7. This year the obbyist S
of the companies appeared, and Mir.
Kitchin got busy again with another
report. He was sustained in his DO
sition by vote of fourteen t. one
This means that there will be an
end Of the torpedo companies eff
forts in this direction for long
time to come

HALIFAX COUNTY TEACHERS.

Halifax county has good cause t.
be proud of her public school teach
ers. To any one who looked upon
them in their county association IL
the auditorium of the graded school
here last Friday it was evident that
they are keenIy interested III their
great work and fully realize the dig
nifty and responsibility Of their pro-
fession. Well did Prof. Brooks OBJ
serve in his masterful address that
he had not looked upon a gathering
of teachers that surpassed in person
mel and intelligence the audience
then before him.

ment and development during the

writing in her school. She warned
the teachers against changing the
system Of writing. and gave some
reasons, advanced by an authority
on writing in North Carolina, why
the vertical system should be used.
Following this paper the round
table conference was conducted by
DR.. A. S. Harrison. at which time
the following problems that confront
the teacher in rural schools, were
discussed: Good houses, books (set-
died by Stare), census OF school.
school register. how 20 classify child
rem, how muc'} time to give to each
class, what par ocular subject TO de-
vote most time to, play grounds, the
question as to whether to allow
smaller children to play during school
nours, and b;ackboards
The conference ended, a paper
was read by Miss Sailie Lyman. of
Hobgood, on the The Teaching of
Arithmetic in primary Grades" She
S ii that most children have some
KIN ,wledge of arithmetic before they
ter school, and for that reason the
teacher should not be in too great
haste to teach the pupil this subject,
tnat time should be taken so as to
enable the child to become thorough
ly acquainted with it. In teaching
the child to count she suggested that
he should not be taught in the alb
stract, but should be given some
thing to count; she suggested meas
uring lengths and breadths about
the school room as being a good way
to acquaint the pupil with know
ledge of arithmetic, and, also, to Sc
cure accuracy. She advised the
teachers to give the children inter-
e-ting drill work, and to try in every
way possible to make the subject as
interesting as it can be.
The last paper was read by Miss
Ruth Davenport, on the Teaching
of Arithmetic in the Grammar
Grades" She gave splendid and
original plan for drill work, and
showed how, by following this plan,
the pupil could be made to become
thoroughly acquainted with the sub
ject, and at the same time to take a
ieep interest in it. In teaching the
pupil fractions she suggested that
diagrams be used, and that object les.
sons were great help in teaching
this subject. In taking up decimals
discount, interest, etc. she advised
that the simplest rules should be
taught first. She said that great
care should be taken in assigning &
lesson, that the teacher should know
her pupil, so as to avoid giving toe
long or too short lesson.
The papers were all well written
showed thorough preparation, anc
reflected credit on the teachers. Dr.
Harrison said that the papers show
ed what the teachers are doing anC
IAN do with fair opportunity.
By a rising vote the teachers ex
tended their thanks to the people OF
Scotland Neck and Prof. Wilson fol
the cordial welcome they had receiy
ed and Prof. Latham, after announc
ing that the next meeting would b.
held in Enfield sometime in the fall
declared the meeting adjourned.
It was the largest and most en-
thusiastic meeting the Association
has held thus far, and the interes
that the teachers and public at larg,
manifested argues well for future
meetings and the progress Of educa
