At thn morning session of the as

Jlann, of (Ireensljoro, wh.v read yex

ganization of the llitih Bcho.d, Dr.
Mann had suiiKested some vaiher
startlinRly ' liueresnnfr changes' in
the plan of orsniniz.'ition of high
schools, and 1 hero was quite a bil ol
discussion created, many ot the
principals and superintendents pre
sent taking issue with his suggest
ed 1111 provem en is.
Dr. Mann in his paper pointed
out the fact that frequently pupils
had to take a whole grade's work
over, because they were deficient in
one or more branches. He suggest
ed that the course be arranged in
the high school so that a pupil could
finish one banch before taking up a
new subject. That, for instance,
arithmetic be studied until the sub
ject was completed, and then an
other subject taken up. The doctor
said he did not want to appear radi
cal or assume the attitude of one
who claimed that all the present

only suggesting bis plan in order
that the flaws might be pointed out.
He had not tried it in Greensboro,
and be seemed anxious to bave
some one try the plan to see how it
would work. I
Among those who took issue with.
Dr. Mann were Supt. Pussey, of
Laurinburg: Principal Archer, of
Wilmington; Supt. Avent, or Golds-'
boro; Supt. Snipes, of Fayetteville.
and others. All these asked Dr.(
Mann some very interesting ques
tions in regard to his suggested!
plan. I
Supt. Ptissey pointed out that un
der the present system pupils in the
high school department were not
kept back because they were defl-
cient in one or two subjects, but
that in many of the high schools
pupils could he found tamg differ
ent subjects in different grades. Dr.
.Ouiroll G: Pearse, superintendent!
of the Milwaukee public schools,
and president of the national edu
caiional association, . closed the dis
cussion, by pointing out the fact
I hat in the high school pupils could
have work in different grades, and
that pupils should be allowed to
take work best suited to th-
needs. The central thought of Or.
1'earse's remarks was that the 1
high school should be made for the
pupil, 'not the pupil for the .high,-
school.
. One of the lady principals pre
sent pointed out the fact that no
one teacher could teach all the
branches successfully, and that the
constant drill on one branch iluiing
the entire day for several weeks
would not he .broadening In ilk ef
fect. -The
next paper was by Mr. J. A.
Mafhesoii of State Normal, Greens
boro, who discussed "A Five-Year
Court-'of Study Mr Principals and
Superintendents." 'From the stand
point of scholarship, professional
training, and opportunity of prac
tice training. Dr. H. V. Chase, of
the University, discussed teacher
training.
Supt Ptissey, of Laurinburg, read
a paper in regard to teachers' meet
ing as a factor in training high
school teachers. This paper was
discussed bv Supt. H. B. Craven, of
New Bern.

The Primary TVaciiers' Association
this morning held an unusually in

and the election of ol beers.
The following are the . ol fleers

Teac hers' Asmimii I n.n wis one ol

branch of school work. MiS (Irahani,
who is from Charlotte, is a superior
of one of the l i i-.-1 grades of the
State Normal,-ai ( rc. iisboro, having
held this position for three years
since taking special I raining at Co
lumbia University;.. Miss Graham
was elected president of the associa
tion at its -meeting in Raleigh last
year. On one otner occasion Miss
Graham held this position and the
association has been peculiarly for
tunate in havlne Iter as its efficient
president.
The association was organized
seven years ago, this being the sev
enth annual convention and Miss
Graham this morning m her address
gave a resume ot what the associa
tion has done. It was born of' a
need and desire to come into classes
touch with the primary teachers of
the stale. While the president felt
the association had not lived up to
its aspiration yt it has grown from
fifty members at the first meeting at
Greensboro to 300 members at the
meetings at Raleigh last year.
Last year It was decided best to
unite in one general assembly so that
now the I'riniarv Teaches Assembly
is one of tlie sections or. the iorth
Carolina Teachers Assembly.
While the growth and influence of
the association has been great, JJIss
I Graham felt that there have been
many drawbacks, some of these be
ing floating members, the depend
ence on the generosity of the super-
I intendents ol the state, the state, the
difficulties of entertainment and the
difficulties ot getting, people to ap
pear on the program. ,
One great good of, the. association
has been the HeveloptuenV of latent,
leadership among the members.
There is so much to do that the pri
mary teachers find It difficult to
know just what to do. ,
No one can deny that there is a
need of an educational awakening.
The south is going forward in leaps
in the industrial world. The educa
tional development has not kept pace
I with the industrial awakening. Miss
Graham was afraid some of the re
sponsibility rested with the teachers
It was a just tribute to the commun
ity that the teachers do as much as
possible for its uplift. .
There is a need of trained teach
ers. The average school teaching
life is four years so that a great
army or new recruits come Into the
profession every year. The making
of a teacher has a great deal to do
with their success.
This is a day of much specializing
and manv opportunities are opening
to the primary teachers. A neces
sary equipment is a knowledge of
a child.
It is necessary to know the why
and wherefores.
There Is a need for qualified su
perintendents and special training 1b
needed.
' The kind of mind a child brings
to the) school depends on the body
and to see that the children are
whole physically Is as much a duty
as to look after the mind of the child.
There is a need- of physical xam
ination. Teachers Bhould be Inter
ested In teavhers meetings. It is
necessary to get together, to work to
gether. ,
The association had as its honored
guest Mrs. Calvin .H Wiley, of Winston-Salem,
the widow of the first
state superintendent of education
and father ot the public school sys
tem, who had a word of greeting
tor the teachers.
The annual report of the secretary,
Miss Mary L. Harris, of Concord was
read.
It was moved to. send a telegram
of greeting to Mrs. Leah Jones
Stevens, of New Born, organizer of
the association.
The treasurer's report was read.
Miss Etta Spier was appointed
chairman of the committee on reso
lutions. The report of the committee on
poems and stories was submitted also
the report of the magazine commit
tee. The report of the text book com
mittee called forth an Interested dis
cussion, the meeting being resolved
Into almost a suffraget meeting.
Miss Edith Roysler introduced the
following resolution which was
adopted: "That a committee from
this association shallffsent to the
Teachers' Assembly a petition from
this organization that the Teachers'
Assembly take up and find out the
position of women teachers in the
profession and have enacted such
laws us will remove our disabil!-
I les." .
It is the opinion of the members
that this question is a bigger one
than serving the text book commit
tee but it is whether there shal! be
a sex line in the profession. It is
necessary to find out -where the mem
bers of the association stand and
whether they are to have any say
in the work or not.
Superintendent Coon was present
at the meeting and spoke in no un
certain terms on this matter, declar
ing he was going to bring tip the
woman .question before the nssembly
ik over.. ...
"The people who tench the chil
dren of North Carolina ought to be
itM much a citizen as any man in the
state " Mr. Coon declared hj was
a suffragette on this question. -
"There is no chance," declare! Mr.
Coon, : :of the meu doing the teach
ing but it will be in the hands of
the women for ages to con.e. That
training will fix the destiny of every
citizen of North Carolina and on
Coon, ol the men doing the -teach-are
as much the citizens as any man
in North Carolina. It is everlasting
ly right and it is iroing to win. I
am going to take it up and talk
about ii. unless 1 have a case of
paralysis! '
Mr. Coon supposed the word "dis
abilities"' was all right but asked
why they did not ask the right to
be women superintendents and to
vote in local tax elections,
The committee to draw -up a con
stitution submitted one thfit. vvas
adopted after some amendments.

from a business trip to Philadelphia,
