The meeting of the Glare County
Teachers' Association at Harrison,
last Friday and Saturday, was one of
the most successful in its history.
Byery active teacher in the county
except Ave were present. In most
Crises the school officers readily granted
the teachers the one day (Friday)
without deduction rightly regarding
the benefit her attendance would
bring to her school as more than a
compensation for the time lost. In
a few other instances, where educational sentiment is not yet yery far
advanced, the officers granted the
teachers a day's absence on condition
that it should be made up by her. Only
io a few rare cases did teachers fall to
attend on Friday latlier than loose a
day of teaching.
As the program appeared in these
columns' recently wedo not give it.here
in detail. Upon the arrival at Harrison of the special train load of
teachers from the south part of the
county they were escorted to the high
school where they were assigned for
entertainment by the hospitable citizens of Harrison,
The afternoon session was wholly
given up to the consideration of the
topic of "Reading." Papers were
presented by Com'r Palmer and Misses
White, Borland and Harrison. Discussions followed by Mrs. Linabury,
Miss Nellie Presley, Mr. Alger, and
others. Nearly all phases of the great
subject were presented. To particularize would be invidious. The papers
and discussions were well handled,and
at times quite spirited. The session
was quite profitable and mueh e_joj-#_.
Every one's sympathy was for the
teacher who was *no& present. Wo
hope to present some of the papers iu
these columns. j
The evening session at  the  M.   E. I
church was well attended.   The house j
was full.    Tne music was good  and
the addresses instructive.   The President's address by Prof. C.   B.   Chaffee'
was a thoughtful and carefully  pre- <
oared presentation on the  needs of!
education.   Some of its passages were'
more than usually tine.   Prof. Kebler'
gave a fifteen minutes' talk on "Why
Ought we tc Educate."    It was very
good,   ln a brief talk on "Eyes That
See Not, " Com'r Palmer pointed out
the evils of earless habits of  observation.     Prof.    Hutchison    performed
some  interesting  experiments   with
oxygen  aud  hydrogen   gases.
...lor the evening'*';prcihes at the
church a reception bu teachers was
given at tho pleasant home of Mr. and
Mrs, S. A. Wilson. Social intercourse,
music and refreshments helped to
make a very enjoyable occasion.
Saturday forenoon arithmetic was
under discussion. Among the leading
participants were Mrs. Shepherd. Mr.
Giberson, Mr. Aldrich, Prof. Chaffee
and Prof. Hutchison. The discussions
were highly instructive. Most interest
seemed to center around two different
points; one was, the proper basis for
the study of combinations of numbers,
whether by the Gnebe system or by
memorizing the multiplication table;
the.other related to-practical methods
in business arithmetic.
"Language work; what and% how,"
was taken up in the afternoon. Miss
Murphy and Mrs. Durfee presented
excellent papers under the respective
heads of primary and grammar grades.
Addition'l points of value were brought
out  in  the discussion following.
Penmanship awaked one of the most
interesting discussions of the day.
The vertical and slant systems were
rivals for favor. The general verdict
seemed to be that the vertical system
is surely, though perhaps slowly, coming to the front.
The "Round Table" brought up the
consideration of a variety of topics.
Those arousing the most spirited interest were '•Tardiness,""Opening exercises" and "closing exercises." There
were so many good things said that
we can not undertake to quote any of
them. Teachers who missed them
lost much.   ,
In the business session the following
officers were elected: President, Asa
Aldrich; Vice President, Mrs. Shep-
ar_; Secretary, S, A. Morrissey; Treasurer, W, C. Giberson,
Clare was designated as the place
for holding the next meeting, which
will be some time in the spring.
Resolutions were passed expressing
the thanks of the teachors for the
entertainment tendered by the citizens of Harrison; also "thanking Prof,
W. J. Hutchison for his Interesting
experiment of decomposition Of water
by electrolysis, which added much to
the evening entertainment at the M.
E. church.
