Delayed from last we k. ,,' The Shiawassee County Teachers' Associ ation held Its regular semi-annual meeting at Durand, Saturday, December 9. The at tendance was large and country teachers were quite fully represented. The program previously arranged was carried out Dis cussions were vigorous and animated. The topic of "Grading Country Schools" was presented by 11. C. DollofT and Miss Claire ilawley. In these papers the necessity for grading was taken for granted and the sub ject considered was that of how to grade. The suggestions were practical and reached the actual needs of the district school teacher. 'Examinations" were discussed by Jas. N. McBride and Supt. F. W. French. The points brought out had special reference to the necessity of having examinations aud the possibility of so conducting them as to make them of interest to pupils instead of a burden to be dreaded and shunned. Supts. Dimond and McEuen spoke upon "Character Building." Thee speeches were upon a high plane, exhorting teachers by precept and especially by example to make their pupils capable of leading pure and useful lives. Supt. II. Ii. Pattengill delivered the prin cipal address of the association. lie dwelt upon the necessity of broad culture for teachers. "The teacher," said Mr, Patten gill "should be a reading person, a scholar, In every way abreast of the times." lie should know what Is going on in the world and be a citizen of the world." This address was probably the abiest and most inspiring ever given the teachers of this county. And of the papers throughout it can be said that they were more directly practical than those read at any preceedlng meeting. The associ ation was in every sense a success and the be6t one ever held in the county ."t This is partly due to the fact that our teachers are now better prepared for their work and more zealous in discharge of their duties than they ever were before. A new feature of the association was an exhibit of the work of rural and village schools. About half the ' country districts and all the village districts were represented. The principal subjects illustrated ' were language and geography and the work sho n is proof that our schools are on a progressive basis. , Committers examined the exhibits and reported the following as worthy of special commendation: Village schools Language work Vernon Grade 3, Maude Wilkinson; Grade 4, Ida pecker; erade5.
