G~reenviile, Nov. 21.-On Monday

L.. G. Brogden made a talk contrast
ing the old method Of teaching with
that OF the new.
In an original and unique manner
he developed the idea negatively. A
large circle was drawn on the black
board which represented the school of

drawn small circles which stood for
the outside forces il the community.
The county superintendent. county
board of education. schooi committee
men, church and Sunday school,, bet
terment association, farmers union,

ment Of the subject Mr.. Brogden
showed that the teacher who did not
bring these outside forces into close
relation with her school and who did
not find time OF take the trouble to 20
out side her walls of the school house
vas doomed to utter failure in her
work. that she was doing herself harm
and at the am time holding the
community Jack in its progress.
On the other hand. the successful
teacher IS the one who brings these
forces into a close relation with her
| work, makes her presence felt III the
community and whose interest is cen
tere+t on the welfare and progress OF
the people whose children she IS in
