COUNTY TEACHERS TO
MEET AT BIGGERS


Randolph County Teachers Asso.
citation will be held with the people
of Biggers Friday night and satar.
day just following the county ex.
animation, Sept. Il, Is, All the
teachers Of Randolph county are
requested to attend this meeting
and make It a pleasant aud benef.
cial one to all.
All teachers who are interested,
in any way, in the welfare Of our
boys and glrls, aud IN the future
progress Of our county in education,
owe IL to themselves, their com
mUnity, aud the teaching profes
sion, to attend these meetings,
We owe i, to ourselves because
we cannot be successful teachers m
every respect without It. Aud
without being successful teachers,
We cannot command the best sIlar.
les aud obtain the best positions.
In these meetings, are discussed
practical everyday problems which
every teacher has TO confront, and
since these meetings are the only
places we have TO come m touch
with the most successful teachers Of
the county and learn their plans on
many practical questions, we should
attend the ASSOCIATION. In failing
to do so, we might lay the fonndl.
tion for ignorance IN our communl
ties by not knowing how to teach.
We owe 1t TO our communities
and the schools where we teach be-
cause those communities and schools
are demanding Of us that we be
well qualified for the work. 1t is
certain that attending the teaobers'
meetings better qualities us-espeo-
tally so far as the practical part of
teaching is concerned. Children
very often receive their death blow
educationally at the hands Of we
teachers because We do not know
how TO teach. We receive instruo.
tions at the associations.
We owe 1t to the teaching pro.
fession for we should be as much
interested in our work as the people
of other professions are ~ their
work. The lawyers, doctors,
preachers, business men and others
have their meetings to discuss the
business and methods connected
with their respective professions and
why not WEI II we have those
meetings and do not attend them,
what benefit will we derive from
them? IL we do not attend the
ASSOCIATION that organization will
die and of course, that means the
death Of the teachers educationally,
then what would become of the
rising generation? We, therefore,
should be among the number who
make up the next meeting and every
one following if 1t is possible.
All teachers should attend this
time especially for the question of
making additional requirements for
the endorsement of licenses may be
and voted upon at this
meeting.
DO not forget the time, Friday
night and Saturday, September II
and is. Come and let Us give the
people of Biggers a program that
that they Will long remember.
