THE COUNTY TEACHERS
HAVE INTERESTING MEETING

Halliburton Gives Interesting Talk
on Reading.

on Reading.
The county teachers association
met in the court house on Saturday.
There was a good attendance OF the
teachers. The feature Of the meeting
was the admirable talk on reading
bv Miss Halliburton of Waco, Texas.
1t was decided to have Field day on
the second Friday in April, which IS
the 18th.
The committees Cor Field Gay were
read and are published in this connec-
ton. The fair feature of Field day was
eliminated at a previous meeting OF
the teachers The athletics and the
literary contests will be the features
of Field day this year. There will
be the parade and the picnic dinner
on the college campus, of course.
Miss Halliburton was presented by
DR.. Kinard and she entertained the
TEACHERS for an hour in very inter-
esting and instructive talk on the i'm
portant subject of reading. She is
the author of series OF text books
or reading, and is here in the interest
OF the adoption of her books by the
State board, but in her talk on Satur-
day she never referred to her own
books at all, though she gave some
experiences which she had in teach
ing.
She spoke of the change from the
old way of teaching the alphabet to
the modern method Of sound and gave
illustrations to show what she deem
ed as evidence of the superiority OF
the new method.
Miss Sadie Goggans reported her
investigations as to illiteracy in the
county and gave the number o2 adult
illiterates as II. And gave the num-
ber in the various districts in which
: these are.
i It is probable that the county
board will advise all the trustees to
grant teachers full pay for the time
if they will attend the State teachers
meeting in Columbia during March.
