TEACHERS' MEETING: CAN WE HAVE THEM? HOW TO CONDUCT? WHAT SHOULD THEY ACCOMPLISH? J i; The Foregoinf )Paper Prepar-1 ed by Rev. W. R. Haifht, of Windaor. He Was Pre vented From Addreaaing the Sunday School Conven tion on Thia Subject, Hence This Paper. (riMUM I; The Convention Normal Manual says, "without the Teacher's Meet ing, no Sunday School can do it's best work. Many schools exist without it, but they fall far short of Joing the best that is possible." I am wondering if all of us un derstand just what a Teacher's meeting is? Speaking broadly, a teacher's meeting is a meeting of the teachers of a Sunday School, and, such others as desire to meet with them weekly, for the study of the Sunday School lesson for the next Sunday. The purposes being both to study the lesson itself, and methods of teaching it. I. The first question to be dis cussed is, Can We Have Them in a Town Church? I answer, unhesitatingly in the affirmative. We can have anything we really want to have; but here is the rule. It seems to me to be a question not so much of possibity as of "wantabilty". However, our topic, as stated, implies a desire for the teachers meetings; but raises the issue as to the possibility?Can We Have a Teachers' Meeting in a a Town Church? Yes we can, pro vided:? 1. We have a suitable time of meeting. This is one of the most perplexing problems. People are busy or think they are. Generally the people who are the best teach ers are the ones who wish the bene fits of 'such a meeting; these are likewise most likely to be the per sons with the smallest amount of time available. The time will have much to do with th? efficiency of the meeting. The time scheme will have to be worked out to suit local conditions; but some suggestioQs are offered: (1) At the close of the mid-week prayer meeting?by shortening that service U> three-quarters of an hour; and with a leader who nan good terminal facilities, this arrange ment might work <well. (2) But a better plants to have a special evening for it. Perhaps Friday night at a suitable hour. This will give all an opportunity to prepare the lesson and will give time for incorporating into the les son what may be of value in the the meeting. If our Sunday School teachers set the high vklue upon their work they should, it ought not to be im possible to get them together for a meeting on special evening. And I venture to say, if they really want such a meeting, they can accomplish it. And then,'.the leader making it worth while, will go a long way to wards helping to solve the problem. 2. We can have a Teachers' Meet ing "Tn a town cKurcfi'provided "we have a suitable- place of meeting. . (1) Select some place and st'ck to it. (2) Ordinarily the church build ing, perhaps a class room, would bfe the best place. (3) There should be a good black board, a reference library, and a set of good maps. ' 3. A good leader will help to make it possible to have a teachers' meeting in a town church. He should be the best^available?the pastor?the superintendent?one of the taachera. Only be sure not to change leaders. Get him and keep him. II. HOW TO CONDUCT THEM The question of method opens * broad field of discussion:? , 1. Try the lectuie method occa sionally. with the privelege of ask ing questions either before or aftej the lecture. 2. Teach the lesson just as it would be done to any class of adults, with suggestion* here and there u to the beat use to make of the lesson in teaching the lesson to various grades. 3. Teach the lesson as tho' the teachers were children. It serves both the purposes of teaching the troths of the lesson and giving an object lesson at the same time. 4. Use the question box plan. Let each teacher during the week's preparation write questions which would probably be asked in the les sqj? by any possible pupil; or the questions which arise in the teach ing of the lesson, and place them in a box t6 he opened by the leader and discussed by the teachers. 6. Assign specific work to the teachers on points to be brought out in the progress of the teaching. 6. Pick out certain phases of the lesson which ought to be used in teaching any lesson, and assigning some one or more of these different teachers for preparation each week. For example: The approach or in troduction; lesson story; analysis; references; biography; Orientalisms; principal teachings; illustrations; objects; practical points for every day life. 7. A good program will be help ful. (1) Open with a prayer for divine helpand guidance. 12)Not only teach the Wessons, but teach how to teach the lesson to the various grades. (3) Discuss problems con nected with the work of the classes. And where you do not have any other meeting of the teachers and officers, the teachers' 1 meet ing is a good place .to plan for the general conduct of the Schools affairs?say once a month or once a Quarter. HI. WHAT SHOULD THEY ACCOMPLISH? 1. Uniformity in the subject mat ter taught the school, especially in doctrine and precept 2. Study on the part of teachers. To have a successful teachers' meet ing each person should make a study of the lesson before coming. The leader is not supposed to do the studying for the teachers, nor is the teachers' meeting expected to take the place of private study on the part of the teachers; but primarily to give to each teacher the benefit of the study of all the teachers. One crying need in our Sunday School work at present is real study on the part of teachers. 3. The correction of possible er rors in the matter taught. Great harm has been done to young peo ple through the teahchmg of error by inexperienced an untaught teach ers. 4. The pastor and superintendent will have an opportunity to know what is being taught in the school. A word from the desk can be wisely spoken if the speaker knows what has been taught. 5. The teachers will get a larger and higher conception of their task. 6. The teachers will get more real joy and pleasure out of their work, and 7. There will be gotten, in the leaohmg force " of tHr Snndaay School a sense of fellowship and co-operation in a gr?at sertice for God that will serve as an encourage ment to persevere in the greatest work of the world?the preaching of the gospel?the saving of s^uls ?and the building of character. In this paper I have made heaVy drawings upon the Convention Mail ual because I have had very little experience from which to draw. At any rate the strong Convention manual flavor of the 'paper insures its orthodoxy and guarantees the practicablenem of the suggestions. Let's make the experiment.

DfilVEFOfl FALL GRAIN BEGUN With a circular letter to all the millers of the State in regard to the question of conserving the supply of good wheet seed and with a call to farmers and agricultural agents to take steps towards conserving the supply of rye seed for cover crop planting this winter, the North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station aUd Extension Service this week begun'it's-drive for a greater production of winte/ grains. It ia planned to Make this movemen^on the order of a State-wide revival. There is a belief among the workers at the College and Dej>artment-th*t more land could be devoted to. fall grains than heretofore With good results, as well as, aiding in the pat riotic production^ such staple food products as will be needed later. Tests made at the Experiment Station have proven that the best time to plant wheat for the maxi mum yeild is between the first and 25 of October and it is hoped that the farmers of North Carolina will have all plans made and the soil and seed ready for planting by this time The Division of Agronomy ia bending it'a energies toward the production of a greater crop of wheat than ' ever before. North Carolina farmers will be assured of strong prices for this cereal for whole period |ol the war and for a considerable time afterwards accord ing tp those who are familiar with marketing conditions. As an aid in' this campaign for winter grain, Director B. W. Kil gore has written the County Agents to see after the matter of conserv ing the supply of rye seed. There has been a shortage of the oat crop jand it is probable that vetch and crimson clover seed alBo will be hard to get. Rye will therefore have to take the place of these crops. One thing of vital interest is the question of good seed and it ia here that the millers of the State have been asked to aid. At the present time they are being given good wheat of high yeilding varieties to grind into flour. If some of this seed is saved for the fall it will be avaibable for the use of those who will put in an increased acreage. It Ifts been shown by comparative tests that home grown seed are best when carefully selected and cared for during the summer, when prop erly treated for smut, and fumigat ed against the attacks of insect). The question of varieties to plant and the fertilation of of same will be answered by the North Car olina Experiment Station and those desiring information in regard to this should write Director B. W. Kilgore. GOOD TACKTICKS Cattle ticks and powder don't mix. Would you rather to feed a tick or feed ? s61deir? Every herd marched to the dip ping vat help oar soldiers march to the front. " Der^t +rt-the tieks entrcnuh them selves in the hides of youi cattle. That dipping vat will help our navy afloat and our armies afield. Think ti over, tnen drop a card to Dr. -Arthur J. Knilans, and have him call on you. He will be glad to do. so and would like to hold a meeting in your school house to tell you and your neighbers how simple it will be to get rid of the ticks. It will cost you nothing and will certainly be interesting. He can b? located in Ahoskie, N. G. Cur* for Cholera Morbus "When bur little boy. now wr en years old. was a baby he was cared of Cholera Morbus by Cham berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy, writes Mrs. Sidney Simmons.

Adv. SHOULD GROW MORE WHEATCOMIKG FALL West Raleigh, July, 81.?In those portiona jit the State where wheat may be grown satisfactorily, it is not only the patriotic duty to grow i, ft, but they will by so doing produce a crop that should bring good ie-.. turns whare the yeild is satisfactory. There is every indication) at the present time that the prife df wheat will be high. Many farmers might very well produce this crop in suf ficient quantities to meet tbeir own needs at least where they have hith erto not been growing thia crop. " Particularly is this so with farmers, in the Piedmont and Mountain sec tions of the State. In the Eastern section.,where the soils are a loamy or otherwise fairly compact nature, wheat may be found to produce good returns if put in properly, fer tilized intelligently, and otherwise carefully looked after. It is certain ly a safe policy for farmers who can grow wheat to do so this year in order to provide at least for their own needs. By thus doing, they will safeguard any untoward against contingencies. It is very essential that good seed be used.tThose who have saved seed for fall planting should take every precaution to see that they are kept Iifgood condition, and that they have been screened from imperfect and shriveled grain before planting time. Those who are trying wheat for the firi>t time should bny early, and buy of the varieties which are beat suited to theii local conditions. Buving early will permit of the purchase of a better grade of seed at less price per bushel than when delayed purchases are made. It is safe to count upon using four to six pecks per acre in seedling. The Division of Agronomy of the Extentioa service and State De oartment of Agriculture is in a po sition to give definite information with reference to the best varieties to use, the best time to seed, the kind of preparation that should be given the land, the best methods ?> use in seeding, as well as' other in formation with reference to the putting in and handling of thia crop.
