He called on par ents to com?' to the school directly to get information about the school or to straight n out any questions whi'-h may arise rather than going to their neighbors and friends with them. Mr. Pipe assured his hearers of a friendly and patient hearing in connection with any matter concern 4ri|_ the school. Announcement was made of the first meeting of the P.-T.

At the business session interesting and encouraging reports were given by the chairmen of different commit- 1 tees and by circle treasurers. The next meetin- which will be a social affair, will be held in the | church parlors Tuesday afternoon, SeDtember 17th. POUUTRYPRICES The following prices will be paid for poultrv at car. Murphy. N.

T. An almost complete absence of professional enthusiasm ami in ter > t ,?i tl> nart of teaehcrs lv cau?e of a hick of contact with other teach ers. The phy-ica' features of Ch rokce county make it a 1 most impossible t? : u_ ??f thb?-' causps of "oo? educational opportunity for th~ boys and girls of rural Cherokee county. However, it is possible to overcome many of them and it has seemed to me that the rural school supervisor recently employed in the county will be the means of correct ing many of the conditions mention ed above. The supervisor will be of unfold benefit to the teachers in pro viding suggestions with regard to subject matter to be taught, sched ules. methods of teaching, methods of securing teaching aids, fumjghing teaching supplies and materials, and nrt the least ofl all, in furnishing a contact between the teachers of the county and thus supplying a stimulus to each teacher to keen up profes sionally with the best educational thought and methods. The supervis or should be of untold help to the vo"^"? ineynprienced teacher and a welcomed friend in everv school house in the county. A county su pervisor is an assistant to a county | superintendent. SHp is not an in spector, a "snooper" or fault finder. h"t a /riend of the teacher and o^e who warts to be of aid to the teach ing profession of ? co^nt It mi?rht be well enough to add here that Cherokee county seems particularly fortifhate in securing for this work the services of Miss Es telle Mauney, a native of this county. Too often supervisors hurt the work they want to do because they are brought in from the outside and do not understand the people with whom they are to work nor know how to F^oroach them. Miss Mauney has the advantage of knowing the people and their needs, and should for this reason prove an idesl person for the work. Moreover. Miss Mauney is wr'1 tra:ned professionally for the work. She is n graduate of the Uni versity of Tennessee, has had sever al years teaching experience both in rural and cHv c^hools and ha* had rpro*pi ?ra'nir>n' ip Teachers' College Columbia University, in methods of rur*?i supervision.
