its second annual conference at Pu-

tory covered by this conference ex-
tends from Patrick county to Bristol
Sixty principals and teachers attend

discussing and considering secondary

The conference was unique in that
no one came to make "a speech" but
all came to express their views frankly
and seriously The Informal feature
OF the conferences of THIS association
Is an effort to overcome The formality
ana GOODNESS characteristic of so many
teachers meetings with ease and free
dom among delegates in expressing
their views While conference of this
nature loses some in directness, it
gains in variety and democracy. One
OF the most gratifying observations of
the meeting as a whole was the ear
nestness of the young men present and
the part they took In the discussions,
Enrichment of Rural Life.

the plans are to march about fifteen

brought out in the discussion that the

II doesn't necessarily interfere with
the regular work of the school. II
was the opinion of the superintendents
or Pupils and interest among patrons.
The State High schooi Course.
The State High. School course was
considered carefully. II was the opin-
grammar should be pursued through
out the first year of the high school.
DR.. Newman, OF V. p, l., urged that
it be continued through the second
association that less time should be
given TO formal rhetoric and more
time to composition; less time to man
uals OF English and American litera-
ture and more time TO the English
classics; that the three-year high
school should do three units OF work.
and by all means finish the classics
required for college entrance.
Latin Course.
The chief interest in the discussion
of the Latin course was In question as
10 whether 1t should be compulsory or
not. The opinion that 1t should be
prevailed. 1t was brought out during
the debate that many of the State
High Schools were excusing pupils
from this subject TOR trihing reasons
The practice was condemned by the
conference. and all principals We're
urged by the examiner to hold the
pupils to the regular course.
Promotion OF Pupils.
1t was recommended by the confer
ence that pupils making an average
If 90 in daily recitations and monthly
test, and an average of 90 on monthly
deportment, be exempt from examine
tons. This system is largely followed
In Southwest Virginia and is work
Ing we'll The strong point in the
system is the emphasis 1t places upon

AS a whole the meeting was great
success. Much credit Is due Examiner
