SCHOOL NEWS

The teachers conference held in the
M. E. Church, Philippi Friday was the
most interesting and instructive we
have held for some time. The attend
ance was the best despite the bad
weather conditions. Some teachers
came as far as seven and eight miles
through the snow drifts and mud un-
derfoot to be at the conference. A
few took advantage of the storm to
stay away, few were sick, and a
few had other reasons. In some places
the snow was too deep for the lady
teachers to get out, and hence they
were not expected to be present.
We trust much good will come from
the conference, and that the confer
ence, and that the instruction re-
ceived on the many subjects will be
carried into practice.
Especially do we call attention to
the teaching of fire prevention in the
public schools. This is new require
ment of the teachers and was passed
by the last Legislature. The text
book on his subject was prepared by
the State Fire Marshal, and teachers
who do not have this text book should
call upon their secretary at once, we
shall send him supply for each dis
trict.
We would also call attention to the
standardized school. We have sever
al schools in the county that can be
standardized. You who received the
chart last Friday should get busy, and
find low many red seals your school
can score. If you think you can meet
the requirements for either first or
second class, you should let US know,
when you will be checked up.
More than 1000 teachers in the
State are taking a correspondence
course in penmanship. We should be
glad to know how many in Barbour
are dong this work. Diplomas are
now being issued, and if we can know
when you receive your diploma we
will recommend you for a coupon of
credit. You should let us know in
time to secure blanks for this purpose.
We would like to see every school
in the county take one of the county
papers, and in addition a good daily
paper, and have these papers come to
the school. The teacher she should
take a little time to read the more inn
portant news items to the school, and
then hang the paper on the line where
it may be read by the pupils when
they have time from their lessons.
A few good magazines will also be APP
preciated by the pupils. Where pa
pers come to the school it is best to
have papers of opposite political faith
SO that the teacher will not be accused
of trying to fasten his political or re-
igious views on the pupils. Teachers
will be careful about this.
Many teachers think we should have
an other conference, since we did not
have time to get through our work
last Friday, and think this conference
should be called for Belington. If an
other conference is called the teach
ers will be expected to do most of the
talking, as we want an expression of
opinion as to the text books and the
workings of the truancy Law, also on
teacher training and the standardized
school,.
We should be glad to hear from the
teachers as many as think we should
have an other conference.
Respectfully,
E. A. HUNT, Co. Supt.
