EDUCATIONAL CoLUMN
The Teachers Association Meeting
Last Saturday.
N, NJ. ROBERTS, EDroR.

was small, the meeting came out ex-
tremely well. The missing ones
were replaced by the Spirit and quail
lty OF those who ere present.
Any of our number who were pres
ent recall an disqualification of real
quality in the form OF talk given
by Miss Dortha Campbell on what
Should Teachers Read?" She surely
deserves credit for bringing to US
such fine thought on the kind OF
reading materials we should use, and
on the effort we should make as
teachers to read the standard papers,
magazines and books.
The general topic OF physical edu-
cation received some comment.
Physical education has q different
meaning to us now than it had a few
years ago. This bas been brought
about by the great demands that are
coming to us from every side for
better physically fiji men and women.
Since the teaching profession de-
mands of each worker an effort with
the student SO that each boy or girl
who grows up under the given en-
virOnmental conditions will be in
fluenced tor better grown up, :"
it becomes necessary that as teach
ers we urge each child to get the
proper physical training. AS teach
ers ia the various schools OF Greene
County are we making an effort to
get the greatest good IN physical
training from the equipment we
have? II we have the determination
within ourselves to win, we can ac-
complish much with practically no
equipment.
We were anxously waiting for Mr..
Church wells address when it was
reported that he could not be pres
ent. Since he has something good
in store for teachers, let us hope that
be can be with us at another time
and serve in the capacity of first
speaker.
Have you gotten your manual for
Physical Education" from Sept.
Turner. as yet?
