tions 10 the annual address OF
President Hull, before the State
Association at its meeting 10 1872
as to the necessity Of greater ex-
perience il we shall have the better
results 10 the school rooms of our
state. Only one man answered to
his name on the call og the pro-
gram, aud with the characteristics
of the average Of his sex, in the
shool room, made excuse Of not
"knowing what the lesson was"
thar had been assigned % him-he
was true to the good old traditions
of the by-gone days.
The president. Mrs. A. B. San
ders, was tactful and expeditions
in her rulings and dispatch Of hus-1
mess, and with a good Fouud voice
made herself heard and nnderstood
by all; this we regret - say was
not the case with tie average
speaker or reader, most Of whom
could not be understood, 50 low
and so rapid was the enunciation.
This however did not apply TO all,
notably the one who discussed
"Shall We have spelling lists"
wirh a voice neither loud nor very
strong, yet her enunciatIon was
such that all easily heard. We
could but recall that passage atthe
beginning OF the Sermon on the
Mount which runs thus: "And He
OPENED HIS MOUTH and taught
them, etc" Others there were
who sat to read their papers, which
was of course against all possibili-
fy OF their heing heard. Next time
II
we hope that all participants will
be required 10 face their hearers.
and stand while delivering their
papers, thus giving the association
and visitors the great benefit ol
their experiences and researches.
The text under consideration was
O'Shea's Everyday Problems in
Teaching Some adverse com
ment was made upon the appliea'
ton Of bis IDEAS 10 our rural
schools. and no wonder for, if we
mistake not. Mr. Oeea is q pro.
fessor 10 a Northern University,
and while be may have some ac'
quaintance with the rural schools
in that section they are more like
the High Schools in our section.
This growing out of a greater pop
ulation and more means the apply
ing to our schools.
It was pleasant to note that some
of the participants did not confins
themselves to this author, but gave
most helpful and suggestive Incl
dents in their own experience.
The writer regretted that the cal
of other duties would not permit
bis stay throughout the entire ses'
sion, but was glad of the oppor
tunity of spending the hour witt
Those who are giving their lives e
the Rrandest work known TO mar

Il wNMEN OF the future generation
Naught but good can come from

change of ideas and experiences il

and useful career. 7. B. H.

The Daughters of the American
Revolution Of Mississippi propose
to mark with tablets of marble the
historic Natchez Trace, but i has
been suggested that the stations
and stopping places be marked.
Furthermore, it is to be hoped that
the Red House Tavern at Rocky
Springs be preserved aud Eemem-
bered as well as Port Gibson, Mrs.
Woollidge and the Choctaw line
in this caunty.
Andrew Marschaik, in his Mis-
sissippi and Louisiana Almanac
for the year 1873, gives the sta

Mrs. Dunbar Rowland, in her
"Marking the Natchez Trace, "
published in Mississippi Official

p. 26s, says of Port Gibson among
the hisoric places Of the Trails

Trace crossed the Bayou Pierre.
