Next topic: "How shall the
Poorer Townships be able to Con
form to the Thirty-five dollar
Minimum Salary Law." Mr. Ran
dolph Palmer responded by say
ing that he had not yet solved the
problem satisfactory to himself.
Mr. Malachi Litton of Thomp
son thought it might be done by
consolidation of schools in some
districts; out was not sure the
plan would apply to all. Having
no figures at hand he, too, plead
ed ignorance of the probable cost
of conveying pupils to and from
school the most considerable
item of expense under the sug
gested plan.
Many questions were asked as
to the distance allowed by law
over which pupils would be trans
ported, showing that Fulton coun
ty directors are preparing for
the changes to be wrought in the
near luture in many districts
through rural consolidation, and
will not be caught napping when
the time arrives to choose better
teachers for a smaller number of
schools.
They recognize the fact that the
law is the result of experiments
and investigations of educators
who make school reform a stud',
and that the final result will be
that the rural schools of the
twentieth century wiil be far in
advance of those of the nineteenth.
Ex-Supt. Potts of Bedford
county, who has tried the new
plan of centralization, spoke frank
ly and convincingly of Us advan
tages, chief of which were: Bet
ter teachers, better classification,
larger enrollment, larger daily at
tendance, far greater punctuali
ty, larger classes, more competi
tion, and greater interest and en
thusiasm among the pupils. The
money no matter how great the
sum that is devoted to the educa
tion of our boys and girls is
wisely expended. At present,
the amount expended for one pu
pil in Fulton county is less than
that paid by the Southern States
for the education of one negro
child.
Mr. Jacob Lamberson of Tay
lor, reported the fact that in his
township the compulsory law was
unpopular with the majority of
the board of directors; the law
had not been enforced, and asked
what cause was open for him to
pursue as secretary of the board.
The answer elecited was: No
state appropriation to any dis
trict where pupils of a school age
who are physically and mentally
elegible are not having school ad
vantages.
Before adjournment the Coun
ty Superintendent talked most
seriously to the directors, advis
ing them to visit the schools
more frequently in order to bet
ter acquaint themselves with the
qualifications and general fitness
of the teachers in their employ,
assuring them that there are now
a few teachers in service who are
not worthy of increased salary:
many others of our best and most
progressive teachers will go else
where to engage in more advanc
ed work or be allured by more
tempting salaries ; while at pres
et! t we have a very limited sur
plusage over the quota needed to
supply the schools. It is evident
under such circumstaooes that
tne wisest judgment should be
employed in order that our
schools should exemplify the
"survival of the fittest."
The presence of such a large
number of representative men,
who were willing in extreme
weather to brave the long trip to
the County Seat over roads in
many places almost impassable
from ice, is very gratifying to
the friends of education, and au
gurs favorably for the future in
fluence and strength of the Asso
ciation.

TRIP TO BALTIMORE
Mrs. W. A. Tiogk'r, (formerly
Miss Helen Uarvt-r), has recently
roturned from Baltimore, wiiitlmr
hIio had accompanied her daugh
ter Edith to John Ilopkin's hos
pital, where the latter is being
treated for a tuberculous ankle
joint. Upon arriving there the
necessary tests were given to as
certain the real trouble. These
tests consisted of x-ray and tu
bercula vaccination the latter of
winch caused the patient intense
suiTering, her temperature rising
to 105.
Dr. Ham, the physiciau in whose
care the patient is, told Mrs.
Trogler that her daughter had
tuberculous trouble in rather a
serious form aud advised an op
eration to which, Mrs. Trogler
aud her daughter, after due con
sideration, consented. The oper
ation was skillfully performed on
the (J of February; and although
her sufferings, immediately after
t'.ie operation for twenty-four
.lours or more, were almost un
bearable, yet Dr. Bear thinks she
will he entirely well, excepting
that she may have a stiff aukle
joint. Her many friends are de
lighted to learn from latest re
ports that she is doing well.
Mrs. Trogler was entertained
at a private boarding house be
longing to the hospital, and had
the pleasure of meeting people
from all parts of the Union, and
eveu from New Zealand, all of
whom had some near aud dear
friend in the Hopkin's hospital.
They were all quite congenial and
of markod intelligence. During
Mrs. Trogler 's stay in Baltimore
she witnessed the great tire. The
church ut which she attended
services Sunday morning was a
few hours liter destroy ed. There
was only one more block between
the fire and the tine retail store
ou Lexiuton St., when its direc
tion was turned by a change in
the wind. Had it gone to Broad
way nothing could have saved
John Ilopkin's hospital. Arrange
ments were being made to move
the patients.
Leaving her daughter in the
hospital, Mrs. Trogler came home
by way of Harrisburg, and stay
ed over Sunday iu Shippensburg
visiting relatives in town and also
her daughter Mary in the C. V.
S. N. S. Mrs. Trogler is much
pleased with the work done in the
State Normal, and also with her
daughter's progress. She ac
companied her daughter, on Mon
day to every recitation exceptiug
one, and was very much gratified.
On her way to Baltimore she
drove to Greencastle, and went
from there to Waynesboro, stop
ping over night with Mrs. Trog
ler's father.
