T'eachers' Association.

The Richmond County Teach
ers' Association held its meeting
| at the Rockingham Graded
School on Saturday, Feb. 10th.
The meeting was called to order
at 1890 by Supt. L. J. Bell.
Mr.. Bell read a Scripturelesson,
Mr.. Cridlebaugh, Hamlet, led in
prayer.
Miss Flora Cooper then gave a
model Geography lesson. This
was not only enjoyable but very
instructive as Miss Cooper had
her Seventh Grade pupils there,
and in this way gave to the
teachers a definate plan for con-
Quoting a Geography lesson.
Next Mr.. Bell introduced to
the teachers Mr.. A. T. Allen, a
member of the state Board of
Examiners. Mr.. Allen then
explained the plans of the Board
of Examiners for the Certificate
fof teachers. Also how the re-
newal of Certificate might be
obtained. The explanation of
these things was of great interest
to the teachers.
Mr.. F. w. Bynum made a short
but very earnest talk on War
Savings Stamps. He urged
every teacher to do everything
possible to get a campaign for
these stamps on as soon as pos
sible. This is very necessary
and urgent as Richmond County
must raise $432, 900 by this plan.
Mr.. Bell also urged the teach
ers to get the War Savings
Stamps clubs started as soon as
possible, saying in part: 1T is a
little finer thing to be a teacher
this year than ever before. And
now we have been called on to
help finance the war-we are
glad that we can do things along
with other people who are doing
big things"
Miss Carrie Monroe then gave
a paper on Exhibits. She gave
very helpful suggestions and
urged the teachers to plan their
exhibits before our County Com
mencement is due, in this way
securing good daily results as
we'll as creditable exhibits in the
end.
Miss Bessie Terry also gave
some suggestions for getting up
exhibits.
Mr.. Bell then announced when
the Group Centre schools would
have their next meeting:
Instead of having one big
County Commencement as usual,
there will be a Commencement
at each Group Centre school and
the winners in each of these
will meet later and contest for
the prizes. The prizes to be
awarded this year will consist of
Thrift Stamps.
The attention of those teachers
in short term schools was called
to the fact that where there is no
special tax the district furnishes
the teachers salary for four
months and the state allows $40
for the fifth month for a First
Grade Certificate. This was to
avoid having vouchers made out
incorrectly.
The meeting then divided into
two sections. In the Grammer
Grade and High School Section,
Miss Sudie Landon of the Hamlet
school in a very interesting and
enthusiastic manner told about
the Palmer Writing System.
Mr.. Bell gave a very helpful
outline on Teaching History"

The German determination to block

To Confuse Yankees
The appearance of the German cOun-
tiers and the incessant deluging of the
Yankee ranks with millions Of bullets
and thousands Of shells leads to the i'm
preston that the German command is
hoping to confuse the Americans and
check their ardOr in order to give the
Germans time to carry out plans for
possible further retirements This plan
has failed, while the failure has thrown
the Germans themselves into confusion
as the strength Of their units arc being
cut down by the American attacks.
