thusiastic and we'll worth hearing. The

Miss Nellie Under of Bonaparte
gave delightful talk on Some Facts
to Emphasize in Teaching American
History" treated from the standpoint
Of an eighth grade teacher. Her argyll
ment was that children should be
taught, not details. but those things
which will help them to be good,
American citizens. They should he i'm
pressed with growth Of national pride,
should study the development Of the
idea of compromise and learn the idea
therefrom that this world was not
made for them alone, but they must
bow to the opinions of others, but
above all else, should be filled with
a love of law and spirit of obedience
to law. .....
"The Relation of the Parent to the
School" was treated most skilfu!ly by
Mrs. J. A. Shaw Of Keosauqua. She
probed to the root Of the matter and
the entire paper was pertinent to the
subject. Her strongest point dealt
with the attitude Of an ideal parent
toward her childs teacher, no matter
who the latter might be. Don't let
your child ever suspect that you think
the teacher could be anything but
right"
Over fifty teachers from Selma
