fltable Session
One of the most instructive and
intereetins Teachers' Institutes
ever held in this county, or any
other in the State, closed a two
week's session at Jackson last
Friday.
From the very first day until
the I close the; unusual interest
which :i the teachers manifested
was intense. Every teacher in
the Institute joined most hearti
ly and willingly jn the different
diBCUssionji which came up from
time to time. The Institute was
conducted by Prof. A. S. Webb.
Supt of the city schools at Con
cord, N. C, and Mrs. Pearl C.
Green, principal of the Murphy
School in Raleiitb, where she has
one of the best regulated schools
in the State. Both of the above
named instructors had their work
well in hand and it was obvious
from the verv beginning that
both of them' were well fitted to
carry on the work which the
State Board of , Education had
sent them out to do.
As a child falls in love with
his teacher the first day of school,
so, also, we believe that every
teacher present very soon learn
ed that rule, and by the end of
the first day the instructors had
won the love and respect of every
tetcher in the Institute. And
this love and respect for them
grew greater from day to day.
ab : that by time the Institute
fil&sed we all felt .very cloeelv at-
tacbdd to Prof. Webb and Mrs,
Ureen. All the teachers were
thoronghly in love with the work
and notwithstanding some days
the hot weather was almost more
than could be endured, the work
went right on and no one was
heard to complain.
During the two weeks nearly
every phase of school life was
touched upon. Some of the sub
jects taught and discussed by
Prof. Webb were: "Every Day
Problems in Teaching," a book to
be read by the teachers the com
ing year; History, of the United
States, geography, arithmetic
and sanitation. ' Mrs. Green spe
cialized on the following subjects :
Phonics, drawing,, writing, spell
ing reading, language, "opening
exercises, games and stories. She
Is one of the very best story-tellers
engaged in this' workv and it
is a treat to listen to her tell them
in her charming manner; - Other
topics which .were discussed very
freely by the instructors as well
as'the teachers were: .t Medical
inspection of school children,
malaria fever and typhoid fever.
A very profitable hour was spent
discussing the causes . and pre
vention of some of the most
common diseases which has been
proved without 'a doubt can be
prevented by simply complying
with very simple instructions.
Let us hope that the hours of
hard work which Prof. Webb
spent showing us how a lesson
in United States history, or
Dodge's geography, should be
presented will prove a very great
help to all those who were so for
tunate as to hear' bim. '-I don't
see how any teacher can go back

V7hSN the Iir 3 wts ia fes-
in the work or to inspect the
work were: , Prof. Giles of Mcj
Dowell county, Mr, Roberson of
the North Carolina Departmehtl
of Agriculture, Prof. E. E. Sams
Supervisor of Teacher Training
and Supt. L C. Brodgen of the
Department of Education. All
of them had helpful suggestions
to offer.' By -the help of these
men, and the untiring efforts -of
Frof. Webb and Mrs. Green, and
the hearty co-operation of all the
teachers present, I believe it will
be safe to say that no Insitute in
the State could have surpassed
this one in any particular.
On Friday afternoon a little
program was arranged and every
teacher took an active part: The
large court house was filled with
visiting friends. The close at
tention , which they gave was
evidence enough that the exer
cises were enjoyed by thoBe who
were present ; V
All the teachers feel very
grateful to our beloevd Superin
tendent, P. J. Long, for his ef
forts to make it pleasant for all
those who were present And to
the town people in general, do
we wish to express pur hearty
thanks for the exceedingly cour
teous manner, with which they
seemed to regard us.

Ball Our Population Living lu"Drj"

It is generally thought that Ger
many drinks" more beer than any
other nation in the world. .. This
lis a mistake. Germany comes
second. The United States eon
sumes 1.851,000,000 gallons- of
beer each year, which is .hun
dred million gallons more than
Germany's consumption Russia
leads the world in its use 'of dis
tilled liquors, and the United
States comes second, with its
consumption of 133,000,000 gal
lons. Although the United States
is first as a beer drinking nation
and second as a consumer of dis
tilled spirits among the nations
of the world, the liquor dealers of
America are having a desperate
fight for the life of their traffic.
The saloon . has been expelled
from one-half of the population
and from two-thirds of the geo
graphical area of the country. In
1868 there were 3,500,000 people
living - in territory where the
drink traffic had been out'awed;
in 1900 the number had increased
to 18.000,000; in 1908, or only
eight years after, the number had
doubled to 36,000,000, and today
there tare 46,029,750 persons, or
a fraction over one-half of the
population of the country, living
in no-license territory. In the last
five years the no-license popula
tion has increased a little over
10.000,000, which is more than
10 per cent, of the total popula
tion of the nation and 30 per cent.
increase in the number living in
Vdry'; districts. Since ; 1868 the
population of the country has
doubled, while the number of in
habitants of "dry" territory has
increased over tbh-ieenfold.

we fear that cotton is beginning
to injure. However, if cultivated
again very shallow, it will help
the cotton in two ways. In the
first place if It should turn off
dry. it will hold moisture better,'
ari3 if if should continue wet, the
cutting off of a few of the roots
will have a tendency to check
the rtjid trrowth and cause it to
