Report of the Teachers' and Directors' Convention. (Continued from first page.; ed. The two-man Board' not good unless they work in harmony in proper lines. The indifferent Hoard do not live up to their oath of office. Duet: Mrs. Killgore and Miss Julia Burns. F. J. Mullen, Esq., addressed the Convention on the question: "Are schools Failing to inculcate among pupils a proper Respect for Law be cause of too great a dependence on moral suasion?" Mr. Mullen answer ed the question emphatically in the negative. If any school in Sullivan County is failing to teach a full and proper lespect lor law, that school is failing in its duty. His observation is that Sullivan County schools do inculcate a respect for law and order. Discussion by F. \V. Meylert, Esq., From quite an extended experience In Sullivan County school work, he believes Mr. Mullen's answer to be absolutely correct. "Education in the Country for the Country" had been assigned to Prof. M. R. Black, Principal of the Elk land High Schools. Prof. Black showed such familiarity with this subject that he had (lie earnest at tention of the audience. Idea of education in the country have changed considerably in the past few years. The country is the most favorable place for education. Country boys anil trirls have the ad vantage of city children because they learn to do things. The greatest financiers, authors anil statesmen in America were born in the country and obtained their education next to nature. \Ve can lit proud of the High Schools in our County, but we must teach the children for what they will well do. We must teach them elementary agriculture real agricul ture. A bra tn Fultz, a Pennsylvania farmer, by bis careful selection of the "Fulfz" wheat conferred a bless ing upon the American people and npon the mil ire world. Prof. C. D. Koch, State High School Inspector, was present and at 111 is point addressed the Convention on "Minimum Requirements for High School Admission, lie out lined the work of the Department in the elimination of non-essential sub jects. in Arithmetic favors the ex imination of Alligation. Annuities, Averaging Accounts, Circulating Decimals, Partial Payments as such, Compound proportion, and Longi tude and Time. Favors teaching a better knowledge of letter writing. A more practicd application of (he work we are doing throughout (lie state. Miss E. Jessie Wrede, in charge of tlie Primary work in the LaPorte Schools read an instructive paper on "The Teacher the Custodian of School Property." Pupils should be limited in pencils and tablets to what are necessary. Impress upon child ren from the beginiing that it is as important to fake care of bis tablet as of bis book. No economy in cheap supplies. "Penmanship in our Schools', was ably presented by Prof. James A. Bowles, Principal of the Bernice High Schools. Too often we accept a system of penmanship one session and next year reject it. Adopt some proper system and follow it. Insist upon teaching some free movement the first few years regardless of the child's ability to write. Discttf-sion by Supt. Killgore and others FRIDAY EVENING, 7:30: The Friday evening Session was devoted entirely to the'SpollingCon test, participated in by the winners of the silver medals in each of the 13 districts of Sullivan County. Friends of education and friends of the contestants from every section of the county, filled the Court Room. The Chairman appointed to act as Judges, E. J. Mullen, Esq., Rev. Dixon and F. W. Meylert, Esq., Prof. C. D. Koch, State Inspector of High Schools pronounced the words. Fx-Supt. Meylert with appropriate remarks presented the silver medals to the contestants. The interest was intense and fre quent recesses were taken, which were enlivened by music by the Du shore Orchestra. Only two contes tants remained in the field when the list of 1000 words announced in the papers bad been exhausted; Mr. Edgar Campbell of the Shunk High School in Fox Township, and Miss Martha Laurenson, a pupil of the Hemlock Orove School in Davidson Township. For some time the out come remained in doubt, until Miss Laurenson misspelled the word "notoriety," entitling her to the sec ond prize of a silver watch while Mr. Campbell carried the gentle man's gold watch to the extreme western district of the county. SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL 23. Called to order at 9:30 by President (Hitman. Roll call showed a total present during the sessions of 53 di rectors and 7 directors-elect, being the largest attendance in the hiscorj of the Association. Asa committee on by-laws the President appointed Supt. Killgore, Allen Rightmire. C. A. Starr, Albert F. Heess, J. II Donovan. Topics for general discussion were taken up in the order given and par ticipated in by teachers and directors generally. During the morning ses sion an interesting letter from Mr. 11. W. While of Lopez, a former di rector who still feels a deep interest in the work, was read. SATURDAY P. M Saturday afternoon a ioint session was held in the Court House, l'rof. C. 1). Koch, State High School In spector gave a very practical talk on the High School question which will result in much good to the county Hoards if his suggestions are carried out. In his opinion our County High Schools rank high among the schools of Pennsylvania, due to the kind of work our County Superin tendents have done. In 1902 the State had between (50 and 70 High schools; in l!)(t!» approximately 400 received State appropriations. Since the State is appropriating, larger sums for the support of High schools the question of control by ths State arises. The Legislature has provid ed a classification of High schools in to different grades and proper reports must be filed before appropriations will lie paid out. The report of the Committee on Resolutions was approved as reported as follows: WHEREAS, This, the Sixdi Annual Session of the Sullivan County School Directors' Association, lias been most helpful and successful; THEREFORE, Re it Resolve.!: That the thanks ami congratulations of the Association be tendered the officers w hose efforts have contributed to its success.
