McDonald of Lidger wood completed the delegation for the county. Mrs AVhitcomb who was principal of the Hau kinson High School for several years was in attendance but her home is now in Ward coun ty. Also Mr. A. H. Gleasoti, a former principal of Abercrom bie schools was present from another part of the state. Prof. Black had a paper on history teaching for the first day's program but for fear of being delayed on the train in such wintery weather he had wisely sent the paper on in ad vance, and his paper was read by Supt. Smith about one hour before Prof. Black's arrival. However, the appreciation of the history teachers depart ment was shown the Professor by electing him president of this branch of the association or in a School Law Compilation Com mission held a session each day of the association and con. siderable progress was made XfX+ii* .J* •*-_ *^X.»T -s^*h ffc &• f- S •..

Smith also took an active part in the discussions and busi ness of the meetings—and was elected president of the Asso ciation for the coming year. Mrs. Smith as the social mem ber of the delegation did the honors nicely and attended every day. Pies. Seasley of the Iowa Teacher's College gave two ex cellent addresses but did not succeed in convincing the ma jority of the association that the "Iowa idea" is superior to the plans and institutions of our state. Dr. Forbush of De troit, Michigan, came to late to take his places on the program but his addresses were heartily enjoyed by those who had the opportunity of hearing him. He was snow blocked in Michigan for a few hours and so reached Minot twelve hours ldte. His splendid qualities and wide ex perience and his pleasing man ner of speaking made him an unusually able and competent authority on the pedagogy and training of young people.
