A great many schools are closing about this time, and a few suggestions concerning re ports and vouchers will not be amiss, because I find a great many parties do not exercise much care in this kind of work. It is absolutely neccessary to have full and accurate reports, because the State Superinten dent requires all county Superin tendents to make reports to him, and the information must be ob tained from reports of teachers. Therefore, unless teachers use a httle effort toward securing accurate reports, the whole system is made void I wish to call particular attention to this matter again. It is expected that each teacher send reports to the chairman of the school committee for the district in which the .school taught, and committee men should see that this is done. If teachers have already finished their schools, it is not too late to make reports to committeemen. In those places where the schools have not closed, committeemen should not sign vouchers until such reports are made. A great many claim that this practice is of no value, but there are two reasons, at least, for observing this rule. In the first place it gives more order and system to the work; and again; it puts the facts of the school into the hands of committeemen. In the election of teachers for next year you will need to know just what was done this year. In this connection it is necces sary to call attention to registers. I suppose every teacher was supplied with a register for the year's work, but reports show that in some cases they were of little, if any, value, Now, it will be the duty of teachers to turn the registers over to the committee, and I wish to urge that an effort be made to make the records as complete as possi ble. For this month I will be in the office on Mondays. I may be here other days of the week, but you will be sure to find me on Mondays. If it should not be convenient for you to come to Asheboro to draw your salary, mail me your reports, and vouchers properly filled out, signed and receipted and the Treasuer will send check Supt. of Public Schools. . -l i T JT i.1 1 1 1 Miss Ua Wood visited Mrs. lor tne amount n mere miuuiu !

The North Carolina Teachers' Assembly, which will this year celebrate its twenty-fifth anni versary at the session in Char lotte, June 16-19, ha3 been for a quarter of a century one of the most effective organs for the im provement of educational condi tions in the State. It hast been behind every movement that .has contributed to the "Educational Revolution" of recent years, and that, too, at a time when these educational reforms were not popular. The Assembly origi nated the great campaign which Mclver and Alderman conducted in 1889-1892. "The good results of their labors are with us to-day, and will continue to bless the Commonwealth when we, ur children, and our children's children have finished life's ap pointed lessons and put the books away." The State Normal and Indus trial College is another of the Assembly's creations, for throughout his gallant fight for this glorious institution Mclver had the Assembly at his back, upholding his hands through : its sympathy and through its com mittees. So, too, ,the local-tax movement, the movement for consolidation, the improvement of schoolhouses, the better train ing of teachers, and, in fact, every movement tnat nas re sulted in better educational facili ties can be traced to the North Carolina Teachers' Assembly. The session at Charlotte promises to be one of the most successful in its history. Several of the most prominent education al leaders in the country will ap pear on the program. Among them are Professor Matheson, President of the Assembly; Prof. P. P. Claxton, University of Tennessee, who has, perhaps, trained more North Carolina teachers than any other living man; Dr. O. T. Corson, formerly State Supterintendent of Ohio, President of the National Edu cational Association, ana now editor of The Ohio Educational Monthly; Dr. Charles W. Kent, of the University of Virginia; Dr. Seaman A. Knapp, of the United States Department of Agriculture, and others. Gov ernor R. B. Glenn will also be present, and will make what will probably be his last great edu cational speech while in his present office. Hon. T. S. Franklin, Mayor of Charlotte, will deliver the address of wel come.. Charlotte itself is one of the most interesting cities in the country, and it will pay any North Carolina teacher to take this opportunity to visit the "Queen City" of N'jrth Carolina. During the Revolutionary War tne people oi L;hariotte were so hostile to the British that Corn wall is called it "The Hornet's Nest" of the Revolution. Here the teachers will see the monu ment to the signers of the Meck lenburg Declaration; the monu ment to Lieut. William E. Shipp, the galiant young North Carolinian who gave his life for the freedom of Cuba; the monu ment marking the battlefield of Mclntyre.s Farm.

In the northwest part of Sum ner county, Tenn., lives an Irish magistrate, a man of liberal edu cation and a full quota of that mother wit for which his nation is remarkable. A short time ago a colored pair named Jim and Bet called upon the Esq. to be united, "for better or for worse," probably the latter. Having had some notice of tneir coming, he prepared and actually used this unique cere mony: "Jim, will you take Bet, Without any regret, To love and cherish Till one of you perish, And is laid undtr the sod? So help you God." Jim having given the affirma tive answer, Esq. R turned j to Bet: Bet, will you take Jim, And cling to him Both out and in, tion of President Lincoln. Near by are the battlefields of Mcln tyre's Farm. Cowan, s Mill, King's Mountain, all historic spots; the birthplaces of Andrew Jackson and James K. Polk. Altogether, no better place could have been selected for thjsd twenty-fifth anniversary of the Assembly than Charlotte, where North Carolina teachers will have a spsendid chance to learn so muvh of North Carolina's history. Everything now points to a great meeting. Trade Marks Designs Copyrights Ac. Anyone sending nkeleh and description my qnlckly ucertnln our oiiinlnn free whether an Invention ll probably patentable.
