Libby Man
Elected M.E.A.
President
A. A. Wood Honored by
Educators in Session
at Helena.
OUTLINES AIMS
OF ASSOCIATION

A distinct honor was conferred
upon Superintendent A. A Wood OF
the Libby schools at the state con-
vention of the Montana Education as
ISOLATION at Helena last week, and
through Mr.. Wood part Of the honor
falls to Libby and to Libby schools
Mr.. Wood was elected president of the
state association for 1880.
The compliment paid to Mr.. Wood s
recognized ability is all the more ap-
parent when one learns that usually
association presidents are elected
from the larger places, Missoula,
Lewistown, Helena, Kalispell, and
similar places. His election to this
prominent office is a further indica-
ton that the excellent work Mr.. Wood
has done in building up Libby schools
is becoming known over the state, as
a result of which Libby schools are
becoming favorably known over Mon
tana.
The election of president from
one of the smaller towns in the ex-
IRENE corner Of the state, is dis
tinct compliment to Lincoln county
and to Libby. The executive council,
of which the president is the presiding
officer, includes the chancellor Of the
university and the state superinten-
dent Of public instruction. 1t thus
places the president in closer touch
with those who control not only the
educational policies of the state but
with the leaders in state government
through its various boards and COM
mittees.
Mr.. Wood has attended all except
one of the state conventions of teach
ers since coming to Montana Last
year he was president of the North
Central District of the state associa-
ton.
In discussing the aims Of the al
ISOLATION and the highly importsht
work being done by it, Mr.. Wood
said:
"The first teachers association in
the state was organized in 1882 while
Montana was still territory. It is
interesting to note that of the 33
members at that time, 10 were men.
The association now enrolls $500 of
the states 5000 teachers and employs
full time secretary to look after its
puDliCdLlol, kHOWH as MOHldId Luu-
cation. The state has been districted
into three sections to accommodate
as much as possible the teachers in
the part of the state in which the
district meeting is held. For 1880
the three districts will meet at Great
Falls, Billings and Butte. The bust
ness of the association is accomp-
lished at meeting during the Christ
mas vacation.
"The association is purely a volun-
tary organization on the part of the
teachers to further their professional
interests. Their dues support the sec
rotary, the Journal and the various
lines of research. The fall district
meetings are devoted largely to in
spirational addresses by educators
and business men of prominence and
to a discussion Of the best means of
classroom procedure. During the year,
committees are at work on different

Cackle Expert Finds
 Boy Hiding in Barn

Evanston, H., Nov. 2l P- Policeman Oscar Swanson claims to be a "cacklistic" expert, by which he means he can tell as much about a hen by her cackle as a ballistic expert can about 4 gun.
 The opportunity came to him to make practical demonstration last night when Fred Dittmer telephoned the police that he wanted them to do something about the strange noises he was hearing in his barn. Swanson got the case and there was cack- ling as he and Dittmer entered the barn.
 Those" said Dittmer, "are my light Brahmas."
 Light Brahmas, nothing" said the expert. They might be Rhode Island reds, if you raised that kind. and they might be buff Orpingtons if the pitch was little higher, but since you have none of these the cackling must be coming from something else"
 With which remark he switch cd on the light and disclosed, he reported, that the cackler was AL bert Took, Is, who said he had just dropped in for a chicken.
