This has been a busy day with the teuchers attending the sessions of the North Carolina Teachers ( assembly. Following the work of the various de partments earlier in the morning the teachers assembled in the Auditorium at noon for the address of President L. Ij. Hobbs of Guilford college and the report of the committee on teach ers' salaries. Prof. Hobbs made an Interesting address, the general sub ject which was "causations." lie dis cussed some of the problems of teach ers and believed that one; of the things that the teachers should do was to teach pupils not to violate the laws of health. He believed that educational work In schools should be well balanc ed. The coupling of educational in stitutions and the church, which wide ly prevailed in tho south, was a factor in building up a strong element which would preserve the country. He thought that one of the evils of the present elcm of education was that people were trying to do too many things and not doing any of them as thorough as they should be held to the doctrine that a few things well done was tho best, particularly along educational lines. Home of the teachers, he raid mudo the mistake of supposing that they knew every thing. He would advise a willingness to observe and, learn and a sympa thetic nature for a teacher.- It Is not so much In teaching people haw to make a living, he said, was the aim of education, but it was to teach them how to live lives of use fulness; lives which would count for something to themselves uml the community The report or the committee on teachers' salaries and pensions; R.

The general average paid principals in the elementary schools was lUi'O. and to prlnclpuls of high schools, I1G60. He called attention to the fact thut Ashevllle would be able to make an approximate increase In teachers' sulurles of ten per cent next year. Methods of Increasing Salaries, To obtain a general Increase of sal aries of all teuchers, the committee gave two methods, one raise the standard of the profession; and the other increase the length of the schoo term. To Increase the standard, the committee would have the legislature establish a board of examiners under direction of the state board, of educa tion which should examine all teach ers who apply for positions in public schools.
