Va•=c, The Bradford:County Teachers' Asso ciation met in the Methodist Church, Uls teris February 13,1880. Called to order •by- the President, I. S. Crawford, at 10:35 n. In absence of the Secretary, H. C. Green Was appointed pro. tern. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. The following repot& the Committee on Resolutions was r and accepted : Ist. Respired, That the teachers Of our common schools should have thi3 pow er to expel from their 5,..h0015, scholars whose, conduct is detrimental to the har mony Of the school. f 2nd. Resolved, That the present prac tice of changing teachers, is injurious to the progress of the common schools. '3d. Resolved, That our teachers should be paid according to the grade of their certificate, and to their success in teach- 4th, Resol=ed, That public schools shotild be governed by moral suasion Resolved, That in many of the townships of Bradford County, the Iletirds:of Directors are cripPled in their t &its to pro Mote the efficiency of the: sebotilsby the fact that their predecessors have erected too many, school-houses and Fchool-districts, and that they should hereafter pursde the ,policy of consolidat ing, school-districts as fat as possible, tak ing hit granted that most parents would feel better accommodated with a good school a mile and a half away, than with a poor or indifferent school at their doors. Professor W. 11. Benedict moved the ' adoption of the fourth resolution. He thinks that, the school should be govern ed by kindness if possible, but that the teacher must he master, also that in most sebools parents throw obstacles in the way of discipline by not supporting the "teacher. 1 The repution„was .opposed, by Mr. C. P. Garris4tu ; he algo thinks that young ladies should be: tiubjected to the same 'rules and punishmets as young gentle- EEO Mr. Hauling thinks the present power of teachers-to suspend scholars sufficient. Mr. Kitmey takes a broader view, awl thinks harsh means not conducive to a high order of obedience. • Mr: Holcomb thinks it the duty of teachers to govern schools by kindness if pos,sible, but if not, he should use harsh er methods. Mr. Eliott is opposed to the resolution, a:gi thinks moral suasion 'is helped by knowledge that the whip may be used. - Mr. Eugene Thompson thinks moral suasion should be the rule, but the teach er must reserve the right to use excep- MEM Mr. Plummer thinks 'if all would use the right method of home instruction, "moral suasion might. be adopted in the helioi)ls)' The re, , olution was unanirusly lost. ;Music by the choir. AdjourOctl to meet at I:30 p. M. El= Afternoon session ot•garrized at 1:4. Music by the choir. It was moved that the second' resolution be adopted. DiscusSion Opened by .Ir. Harding, who says that:teachers have different Methods, and one method is not put in ptliettee in less than one term'. .11r. Hoston thought that 'teachers should not be employed for long terms, as would be legs strife among teach ers. Adtipted. The acloptiOn of the fifth resolution c• - • NV as' moved. A Director said that he had had !-Orl'lc experience in forming new dis tri,',ts, dud Was in favor oC consolidation wlivre practicable. - Mr. Plummer was anxious to have the qucstton discussed, as he was in favor of go . od strong schools,' even. if tl)ey ale farther apart. 311. Campbell thought that the schools should be arranged for the convenience of the pupils, and rait for the lbeeetit of the fav,,red few. Mr. Benedict thinks the schools should 1;e con,olidated as far as possible. Mr. Eliott said that many schools have a :.uilicientrinpnber already for separate schools. althoti a ,h they are. near enough to each other, fur consolidation. Mr. Huston favored the resolution. Mr. Burgan would have schools consol idated and I.oaded as two teachers, in a school can do better Work than onel Mr. Brown objects to the consoltdatiori of three schools into two, ag IL would throw one-third of the teachers out of employment 'Mr. E. F. Thompson. said that the best eholars - he ever had were those who came the farthest to school. Mr. Campbell thought that the Direc tors weir the proper judges, and that none could locatethe.schools, unlesti they Were acquainted with the localities in which they were to be, located. After further remarks by Mr. Innis, SM periutemlent ityart and others, the rem.- hit Mu was adopted. Declamation by*red Mothers. Lesson in the Metric System by Mr. Bovingdon. Miss itillette!concifictefl a recitation in Geography, having her class before her. Mr. Quiulan urged the teachers to take hold of the Metric System and teach it' in their sehOols. lie also explained it briefly. Mr. llyan commended the 'work in Ge ography, anti especially the combining of History with Geography. linrgan urged that the pupils be taught the meaning of that which they learn in books. Mr. Qumlin would require ,pupils to memorize certain parts of the text hooks, and explain them as far .1S possible. Music. Recess of live minutes. Mr. Benedict placed ten words on the board and called for volunteers to go and • place diacritical and accent marks in their proper places. 'Mr. Bovingdon respond ed. Several objections were made to his way of marlting several of the words. Threc were decided to be wrong. I Mr. G. L. Olack next gave a lesson in percentage. He would • have pupils un-. .dcrstand deafly . the .different elements of Percentage, then apply them to Profit and Loss, Conimission, etc. Considerable dis mission followed. • Professor Ryan said he would like to hear the opinion of tl4 teachers in regard to formulas ; said he thought they should not be giren till - the scholar thoroughly understood tale principles. Mr. CraivfOrd thinks formulas an abom ination: E. F. Thompson thinks scholars should be able to state'exampl9s bylormulati. Mr.. Quinlan says, first an 'ezplanation, Mei a rule or formula to clinch it. ,Mr. Eugene fluitnpson thinks a formu la is the came as'a map in Geography, a picture to the eye. - Plummer says - we must teaoh what will be of most practical use to the pppil. Mr. Ityaa says Mental ..%rithmetie dO" flclpnt in the schools, and those who work by formulas do pot have the mental' drill they should have. A motion wall; made that, since many of the teachers will have to leave early in the morning, we waive the usual custom Ffnd proceed to select place of next meeting.

De; votional kxercises were conducted by Rev. Dr. Taylkr. Mr. Wiip moved the adoption of the • following : ilemotred, That the President appoint a committee of three, to report at the next meeting of the Association, 'the advisabil , ity and practicability of establishing an Educational Ileadquarteis at the-,county seat, at which place may be kept ! on ex hibition the work ofi the scholars of the various schools of the county. He discussed theresolution in the af / firmative. • Mr. Quinlan says it commends itself to him, especially the idea of having educa tional reading. He thiliks what was ex hibited at the County Pair might, in some degree, be shown dUring the year. Reso lution adopted. - Mr. Ryan offered the following": Rexoleed, That the President appoint a committee of five to have charge of i an ed ucational exhibit at our County Fair ; suzli committee to appoint a 'suitable committee in each district to arrange the exhibit for the district. Mr. Plummer thinks, since we have at tempted to make an exhibit, -there is no better way to have a good one than by having a committee appointed.. Mr. Quinlan thinks it ; each township were-to have a . place Assigned to it, each woald I/3 stimulated to do better. Mr. Ebott thinks it too much to leave the'work to two* three, and is in favOr of the motion. Mr. McKee says he does not see the use of such motion, and thinks it notice through the papers might to be sufficient. Mr. Tanner says that not half the teachers will notice a request in 'the -pa pers. Mr. Durand thinks it too much to ask the Superintendent to collect all the mat ter for the exhibit, and that. a committee should be appointed. Motion was carried and the following conimittee appointed : Professors Ryan, E. E. Quinlan, W. 11. Benedict, J. T. McCollom and W. II: Evans. Professor 'Ryan took a few minutes to urge the teachers,to hold term examina tions, and to distribute blanks to be sent to the various boards of didtors. • • Professor Quinlan then gave :4 lesson in Grammar, dwelling on tiansitive and in transitive verbs and voice, also the sub jedt of case. He illustrated by numerous examples. A discussion followed and a number of questions were asied and an swered. Professor llnedict gave a lesson in or that`py, which was followed ilay some dii eussion. Mr. Quinlan made some remarks in re gird to the SaloOl Journal urging teachers to assist the editors, by sending to them anything that will be of interest t r its readers. Mr. Burgan offered the resignation of )iss Ballard, one , of the committee of editors to the ite p ran.' Benedict 4oke on the same subject, and thought as the Rep übl /ea only used the matter from the Journal, that the ed itors should be diSmissed, and offered a motion to that edect. Mr. Burgan spoke on the motion, and said the editors -had not supplid any matter "since the Journal had been issued, and thbught it hardly fair to the editing committee:to have their names at the head of the column when they do not furnish the matter. Mr. Benedict's motion was amended so as to intstruct the President to re-appoint an editing ibmmittee when the editors of the Republican should desire it,, and the motion as amended Was passed. following vote of thanks was of fered : • Roolred, That we extend our thanks to the people of. Ulster for their cordial hospitality, to the trustees of the Church for its use ; to those who have furnished us with music, and to all who have assist ed in any way to make the occasion pleas ant and profitable. The committee to consider changing the time of the next session, reported that only the annual meeting in November is fixed, and suggested that the people from Herrick be left to,decide the time of next meeting. The third Friday in June is the time decided upon. ' , The death of Professol F. A. Allen, of Mansfield. was announced, and Messrs. E. T. Burgan, E. E.
