The cordial synip illiy and co-operation

questions asked bim about the geogra
phy, and statements made by several
teachers present.
Miss Janet Holliater, 6B grade, Miss
Annie Cbadwick, 5A grade, Miss Emily
Perebee. 6A grade. New Bern city
schools entered into a lively discussion
concerning this book. All agreed that
it was an admirable te'Xt, and that con
tinual study revealed constantly un
folding good points.
Mr. Tyler complimented Miss Meeks
especially upon her method of teaching
this geography with the book open,
which he said wa the way the book
was intended to be used.
Second on this program was a talk by
Miss Hendren on Composition in the
Grammar Grades. This talk was prac
tical in latent, many illustrations of
material and method were discussed.
HIGH SCHOOL SECTION.
After lunch tht High Schoolteachers
assembled in room No. 5 of the Griffin
Hall for the purpose of discussing some
of the questions which are puzzling and
yet of vital importance to them.
Mr. Everet, of the Dover High School
opened the meeting with a paper on
mathematics. He gave us some good,
sound common sense reasons for the
study of this subject, and pointed out a
number of things which every teacher
must guard against. He says the three
most essential things in the teaching of
mathematics are ac Uracy, speed and
neatness, there is too much working
for answers in books, a thing we have
not in life.
Mr. W. D. Cox followed Mr. Everet
with a discourse on the study of Latin
and History. He says that Latin-is by
far Ihe most important language, 1st
because ours is derived from it. 2nd,
because ours is almost entirely depend
ent on it. Mr. Cox said in regard to
history that if the teacher is familiar
with th e subject and presents it in the
right ay the class will be enthusias
tic. Make the pupils feel they are
dealing with real living beings.
Some time was taken-up with an
open rii8cunsion of Algebra and History
by Mioses Howland. Summeril, Jenk
ins and Messrs Cox and Everett.

New York, Feb. 3. -Cotton was
marking time much of the past week.
under the influence of conflicting factors
in the situation, but within 48hours ad
vanced sharply. The strike at Law
rence, Mass., it is true, was for a time
something of a damper. Then many of
the speculative world refuse to bull the
market in the presence of a record
breaking crop and of prices which they
think insure another big acreage, and
under ordinary conditions, another big
crop, especially as the soil at the South,
owing to abundant Winter rains is said
to be in the beBt condition known for
years past. Furthermore, the cost of
living is still high, so high that the dis
trict attorney here has instituted an in
vestigation, summoning dealers before
the grand jury. This it is thought,
means decreased consumption of cotton
goods, as food must come first. Then
this is the year of a Presidental elec
tion, the tariff is being overhauled,
economy is noticeable evreywhere and
reports of an - improvement in the dry
goods trade are, it is asserted, exag
gerated, else why do not New England
spinners buy raw cotton more freely,
and so on. But it was not desirable that
the price refused to decline. Neither
for a time, did it advance much, it is
true, but large spot houses and export
ers have been voracious buyers at the
South of theactual cotton, and lalterlv.
of "futures" here. Liverpool, the con
tinent, Memphis, New Orleans and
Waldorf-Astoria operators have bought
heavily in the last two days.
Spinners have been buying here. A
good many hedgss for home and foreign
account have, it is said, been liquidat
ing in New York. Indeed, some think
it was this kind of buying which halted
the decline six weeks ago. In two dayB
prices here have risen at a rate that
surprised everybody. The exports have
been large. The ruBh to fill January
shipment contracts have been a notlce
ablu feature. Close students of the sit
uation insist (hat the weight of the
crop, large as it was, is now off tin-
market, and that the price is now low
even alter this advance, though a good
many people do not suspect it. They
think that the American spinners will
take the five millions this season and
the European spinners 10,000,000 in one
way or another. As to another cn.p,
they think that in all probability the
fear of another big yield will cause a
decrease in the acreage and that, be
sides, a big acreage in itself does not
insure a big crop. The spot sales at
Liverpool of late have been 10,000 to
16,000 bales a day. At Manchester
yarns are flrin and clothes in good de
mand. In this country there is a sharp
demand for ahi'e cotton, 11 d it is be
lievednot unlikely that lO.WW.OOO bales
of the low grades will go into channels
of consumption similar to those opened
to the poorer aorta of cotton in the sea

mand tor the actual cotton at home
