GOOD TEACHERS MEETING.

The Teachers Meeting held in
the high school building Satur-
day was a very successful
event there being about sixty
teachers and fifteen visitors
present. The program began at
1915 with selections from the
Sisseton Public School Nictrola.
Following this the teachers all
took part in singing two old fa-
miliar songs.
The first discussion was on
the subject of spelling and was
opened by Mr.. Harry Drentell.
He showed why pupils misspell
so many seemingly easy words
and advocated methods by
which this evil might be reme-
died. The teachers then took
up ageneral discussion of spell
ing and some very helpful sug-
gestions were given by Miss
Cora Robinson, Miss Chamber
lain and Supt. Guthrie.
Following this the meeting ad-
journed until l.30. The after
noon program was opened with
singing by the teachers and then
Supt. Guthrie talked on "Mak-
ing the School Efficient" He
told how the rural teacher might
make use of her time and how
she might devise ways and
means to make her work more
interesting and helpful. A quar-
tette composed Of Miss Boyd,
Miss Lewis, Mr.. Hanson and
Mr.. Thomas then sang When
My Ship Comes Over the Sea-
to the delight Of all.
The rural teachers were given
a treat in the two discussions,
one by Miss Byrnes on 1.-THE
Value of Normal Training, ano
the other by Miss DAISY Cham
berlain on Teaching the phrase
intinitive and participle in the
Sth grade" These were eX
tremely practical and Of great
| benefit to the teachers. The in
dustrial work in the rural sch 5ol
was discussed by Mrs. Otto and
she showed some work in sew
ing and design that was very
well adapted to rural grades.
The teachers seemed vel
pleased with the manner inwhicl
the meeting was conducted ano
it seemed evident that they We're
pleased to think the meeting was
