Two score York county school teach
"rs. representing practically every sec
tion OF the county. met at the court
house in York Saturday for the first
session OF the York County Teachers
association Of the school year. The
address OF the occasion was delivered
nv Prof. j T.. Wamslcy OF Winthrop
college. His remarks were given close
attention md evoked much compli-
m"ntary comment.
Field day exercises for the schools
or the county to be held next spring
we're agreed upon following dis
cussion OF the matter. The place and
date OF tho exercises will he selected
later by committee appointed for
the purpose. No field day has been
held In York county for the last three
years on account OF the war and for
other causes.
The annual election of officers for

Winthrop college. vice president, r.

treasurer, Miss Ina Ashe McCon-
ncllsviile.

n. Stribling OF Fort Mill: secretary
md treasurer. Miss Bessie Poag, Win
throp Training school.
The next meeting OF each division
will he held in January. The western
division will meet in York and the
Eastern division in Rock Hill. Divis-
| ion OF the association into two wings
has been found to work advantage
ously. resulting in larger attendance
Mt the meetings and promoting friend
ly rivalry. The first and final meet
| irgs OF the year are joint affairs.
That York county has one Of the
| most effective teachers organiza-
tions In South Carolina Is recognized
by educators throughout the State,

| Its success is due John E. Carroll,
| county superintendent OF education.

The Market Bulletin was discontin-

committee refused to grant the ap-
phcation on the grounds that the
commissioner knew at the beginning
OF the year how much money he had
to use for the publication and that
he should have made IL do. II will
