al spring events, papers were heard,
and the teachers grew more friendly
and more confidential in the discus
sion of the work in the different sec
tons; an exchange of views, theories
and experiences, that has heretofore
not been so free. There was another
move that will doubtless rebound to
the benefit Of the teachers and pupils

posed visit of the teachers to the
Middle Tennessee Educational Asso-
citation al Nashville on April 4-6. In
this connection most laudable eug-

err and visit a number of the manu-
featuring plants of the city while
there and inform themselves az a
matter OF assistance to the manual
training departments, The friendly
intercourse and the mutual informa-
ton will lie worth a great deal.
