MeetlDQ at Jackson Dr. Joy
er Coming. ?- 4, -
In spite of the lowering condi
tion of the weather on the morn
in? of the 24tb. inst. an inter
esting and interested bodyof
teachers presented themselves at
the county seat to attend the
first meeting, for the current
year, of the Northampton County
Teacners' Association. 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

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.

WAGE Oh WAR.
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.
