The dark ness of the weather was Illumi nated by the animated counten ances of the teachers as they talked freely in round table dis cussion on the various topics be fore the association. ? The' following were present: R; Ware,- Jennie C. Williams, Harriet Boweri, Mrs. J. R Ware, Annie Burbett,-W.J. Beale.Decie Brown, Miflnte Boone, J.A. Rud islll, Mary --HooTer. Jessie Helen Flytbe, Mattie Sykes. Mattie Martin, Rennie Spivey, W. D. Barbee, Ruby Fasrg. Laura Allen, Lucy Allen, Ella Mae Kornegav, W. Starr Deloatch, W. E. Whis enant, Annie A. Futrell, Hannah J. Starr, Ethel S. Futrell, D. H. Brown, Lilian Crisp, Mina Hol loman. Hazel Hunt, Grace Stan ford, Lizzie Roddick, , Nannie Leach. Fannie Webb, Lillian Pope, Mary Spivey, -Ruth Dowell and Miller. The meeting was opened with devotional exercises, after which Sunt. ' P. J. Long . extended a hearty welcome to thoe who had braved -the elements to attend the meeting. After some routine business the program waB ren dered. The first item on the program was a consideration of the new Outline Course of Study recently issued by the State Superinten dent of Public Instruction. This bulletin contains one hundred and fifty pages and outlines work for the first seven grades in Geo graphy, Arithmetic History, San itation and Hygiene, Drawing, Agriculture and Language; each of which, except Drawing, was separately discussed as to its suitability for the respective grades. The association believed the Outline an excellent produc tion and gave expression to very few adverse criticisms thereon. The Language outline received particular praise, as it, is just bristling with ideas of invaluable help to the teacher. ; AUthe out lines are full of help for the ear nest teacher. The Teachers' Reading Course was then brought before the at tention of the teachers. The three books prescribed, ."Every day Problems in Teaching," "Growing a Life" and Country Life and the Country School" were spoken of in the highest terms, the first as of much prac, tical Jnelp to the teacher, the sec ond as a rich, ' inspirational book and the third as of special value to the rural teacher. The town ships were grouped for the study of these books and for such other work as may come before the district meetings. r Just at this stage the rain be gan to fall heavily and the meet ing came to a suddep close, to enable teachers to reach their homes before dark. ; i :;&::-"fx:'' One important announcement made to the meeting wis that Schools can now have free medi- caltaeiwtton.;;r i t The writer has attended these meetings for five years and can testify that there was shown, on this occasion, a more general in terest than before n jthe vital topics under discussion. We trust ' ' "islj 'iL$'t least a small degree of that spirit that filled the, immortal Agaestz who desired none other epitaph save that of 'Teacher.'.' The next meeting is to be held November 15, at which Suot. J. Y. Joyner is expected. Each local Betterment Association is requested to send a delegate, to that meeting. Seaboard Locals. -' Mrs. M. A.

Fearful Ravages lo Europe Ibei It Raged Uninterruptedly (or 30 Years. From Leslie's Weekly. The last of the savatte instincts is war. The cave man's club made lav and procured food. Might deceed right. Warriors were saviors. In Nazareth a carpenter laid down the saw to preach the brotherhood of man. Twelve centuries afterward his follow ers marched to the Holy Land to destroy all who differed with them in the worship of the God of Love. Triumphantly they wrote "In Soloman's porch and in bis temple our men rode in the blood of. the Saracens up to the knees of their horses." History is an appalling tale of war. In the seventeenth century Germany, France, Sweden, and Spain warred for 30 years. At Madgeburg 30,000 out of 36,000 were killed regardless of sex or age. In Germany schools were closed for a third of a century; homes burned, women outraged, towns demolished, and the un titled land became a wilderness. Two-thirds of Germany's prop erty was destroyed and 18,000,- 000 of her citizens were killed because men quarreled about the way to glorify "the Prince of Peace. Marching t'lrough the rain and snow, sleeping on, tbe ground, eating stale food or starv ing, contracting disease and fac ing gunB that fire 600 times a. minute for 50 cents a day this is the soldier's life. At tbe window sits a widowed mother crying. Little children, with tearful faces pressed against the pane, watch and wai. Their means M livelihood,' their home, their happiness is gone. Father less children, broken-hearted women, sick, disabled, and dead men. This is the wage of war Tbe Local Paper. The local newspaper should be found in every home. No child will grow up ignorant who can be taught to. appreciate the home paper. It is the stepping stone of intelligence in all those matters not to be learned in books. Give your children a foreign paper which contains not one word about any person, place or thing which they ever saw or perhaps ever heard of, and how can you expect them to be interested. But let them have the home paper and read of persons whom they meet, and places with which they are familiar, and soon an interest is awakened which in creases with every daily arrival of the local paper. Thus a habit of reading is formed, and those ( children will read the paper all their lives and become intelligent men and women, a credit to their ancestors, strong in their knowl edge of the world as it is today.
