There are hundreds who simply cannot

Torrance of given task, because of some
physical ill., Many suffering from some
incipient disease, are nagged and worried

scores of pupils, to know all this. and to
do what is best for each?
The appointment several years ago Of
our medical director, DIR. McBester. has
been of untold help to the teachers and
the children of our schools. And l cannot
speak too highly of the work of our two
trained nurses Miss Denny and Miss
Patterson. They so into the homes that
could not otherwise be reached, win the
confidence of the .nothers and instruct
them as to diet, sanitary conditions, and
other things that are so necessary to

are alike. There are the grave old plod-
ders' along with the gay friskers.' Pr-
mary teachers are coming to realize more
and more that little children cannot be
taught in masses-but must be grouped.
In this grouping scholastic qualifications
should not alone be considered, but
weighed with the childs health, strength
and maturity. Pupils who are prepared
to advance head of their classes during a
term should have the opportunity to do
SO. through special group work. No child
should have to take an extra term to
accomplish work he may be able to do
in one or more months. Slow children
must be provided for Precocious children
should not be forced beyond their years.
Who indeed is sufficient for SO difficult
task? The primary teachers are study

a more elastic system of grouping in
order to satisfy the needs of the greatest
number of children.

ure reconciled to the new methods and
looked upon Miss Calvin as very won
derful teacher.
Those early days brought to our tystem
another gifted primary teacher, Miss Min
ME Holman, who is now Mrs J. III. Phil
lips. Progressive in spirit, sympathetic
of heart readily adapting herself to con-
ditlons, an earnest student OF children,
she was particularly fitted to the work.
As Miss Minnie she won n place and
an influence in the life of the commun-
ity and In the hearts of the children.
Under the direction of DR.. Phillips as
superintendent and Miss Catalan as prin-
cipal, the work in the school was by this
time attracting much attention, not only
in Alabama. Visitors from other states
came and Miss Holmans work, as that
OF a primary teacher, became widely
known. At various times she was en-
gagged to do work in the summer schools
of Mississippi, Tennessee and Virginia
Later she accepted the position of teacher
of the model school in connection with
Peabody Normal.
Fortunate indeed was the school whose
early days were blessed with the 1nspSrn-
ton and services of such women as Miss
Catalan, Miss Calvin and Miss Holman!
And may not the spirit they gave to the
work then, reaching down through the
years, find continued expression in the
spirit of cooperation, Of loyalty, and OF
helpfulness which marks our primary
teachers today? For
mo life can be pure in its purpose and
strong in its strife
And all life not be purer and stronger
thereby
Our Growth
From three schools of those early
days-Powell Henly and Paul Hayne-oui
system has grown until 1t now numbers
81 white schools, more than half as many
colored schools, with nearly 600 teachers
about a third of this number being pri-
mary teachers. These teachers have been
chosen from many sources, from the
north, south, east and west, from our
own training class and from other nor
NAL schools and colleges. This mingling
of representatives from many systems
has enriched our own and given us di-
yersity in methods and in management.
Our Teachers Meeting
During all these years past teachers
meetings have been held each week aud
some course of study pursued, consisting
OF professional books on psychology,
school methods and management, and one
cultural subject each year These meet
ings have been a real training school
to many of us and source Of profess
siona1 growth. 1t Is easy for primary
teachers to neglect study, and these meet
ings have kept us in touch with current
educational problems. True. perhaps, we
have sometimes moaned over the burden
OF them when the flesh was weak, but
anything worth while costs in effort and
thought and time. Doesn't Browning tell
us we must, for our soul good.
