SESSION
OF COUNTY TEACHERS

Inspiring Address by DR.. Patterson
Wardlaw, Of the University Of South
Carolina.
The monthly meeting Of the county
teachers association was held in the
graded school building Saturday morn
ing and was followed by luncheon in
the court house rendered by the coun-
ty department Of education. The meet
ing was largely attended and deep in
terest was manifested by all those who
were present.
The feature Of the session was the
address by DR.. Patterson Wardlaw, of
the University Of South Carolina, who
gave an entertaining as we'll as inspir-
ing discourse upon the subject en-
terest", treating 1t particularly in it's
relation to school work. DR.. Wardlaw
said that the mistake that the old
schoolmasters made was in falling
first to arouse the interest of the pu-
Pill in his work before using compul-
sion, observing, however, that the lat
ter method was not to be entirely ig-
nored but should be used as a last re-
course upon those pupils who failed
to respond to the efforts Of the teach
er to lead them according to more
agreeable methods. DR.. Wardlaw made
differentiation between various kinds
or interest, passive interest, active in
terest. etc., pointing out that the ca
pacity of the teacher to hold the at
tention of the pupil was not in itself a
test Of teaching ability, as the inter-
est that does not arouse the pupil to
study is not of any value to the pupil
himself In fact, he said, interest that
is not productive Of good Is a drain.
Preceding the address OF DR.. Ward
law exercises in teaching methods
were held, sections being conducted
for primary, grammar and high school
work. In the primary section Mrs. B.
l.. Jones led in the discussion, in the
grammar grades Miss Corinne Agnew
led and in the high school section Miss
Lillian kibler led. Much interest was
displayed by the teachers in all the
sections.
In a short business session follow
ing Dr.. Wardlaw's address Miss Gray,
the supervising teacher, made the an
nounccment that four prizes of $40
each had been offered by four women
for the best record made in the night
schools, which are to start in the coun.
ty on January 18th. She stated that
further particulars would be announc-
ed as to the prizes later. She did not
divulge the names Of the donors. Supt.
b. l.. Parkinson, of the city schools,
reported that the night school was
already in progress at tho Laurcns
Cotton mill and that G7 pupils were
enrolled, gratifying interest being dis
played.
The luncheon at the court house was
attended not only by the teachers but
several invited friends of the schools
and vas greatly enjoyed by all present.

Delightful Reception Library Celebration.

A most brilliant social event, which is expected to be of the greatest good, directly and indirectly, to the library, was the reception yesterday after noon at the reading room of the in- stitution, in celebration of the first anniversary of the birthday of the li- brary.
 There were several hundred ladies to attend during the afternoon, an! a number of men, although the members Of the stronger sex were conspicuous by their small numbers. It had been confidently hoped by the ladies that there would be a large attendance of men, if only to make very brief calls, and there was much disap- pointment when only very small number appeared.
 The spacious reading room was comfortably filled through the greater part of the afternoon by the ladies, who appeared to be delighted with the affair. Many of the ladies expressed themselves as highly pleased, espe- cally at the opportunity of meeting so many friends, some of them who had not met for some time. Deli cious punch was served during the afternoon, the Vanity Shop was kept busy, and the four hours passed as if on wings. so genuine was the pleasure felt by all
 During the afternoon the library paid membership roll was increased by sixteen, seven new books were added to the shelves, and neat sum was realized. A number of articles in the Vanity Shop were left over, and will be sold later. A dozen pansy plants, presented by the Harper Flor al company, also are on hand, and may be purchased from the library.
 Beautiful flowers were received with the compliments of the Davis Floral company, Mrs. Anne Norris and Mrs. Annie Jones, and many handsome boquets were presented by other lady friends of the library and it's energetic and faithful officers. Members of the committee last night were deeply appreciative of all the assistance they had received from so many ladies, who had desired to help in every way to make the reception the success it was, socially and finan- cially.
