tho devotional exercises.
The nrst taiK on tne program was intercourse, developed a now sensi

well prepared to discuss the subject.
Geography needs continual applica

tracing developments must bo thor
oughly learned. Teach essential
facts, Industrial development rather
than boundaries. Teach geography
that means dollars and cents to the
pupils. A child nt thirteen yearB of
nge can easily memorize, so tho rou
tine of tho text book is fnulty. Chil
dren are getting through school on
memory rather than reasoning work.
Teaching without a cause deadens the
desire and destroys tho fnculty.
Tracing, railroads, studying their
benefit to tho country, and tho In
dustrial development ls a good way
of teaching Geogrnphy. The con-.
versatlonal method ls preferred.
It Is the duty of each teacher to
leave a written statement of the
work covered each year.
Florence Boyce read a woll pre
pared paper on "Disadvantages of
the Ungraded School." Some of tho
disadvantages are, lack ot system,
and work without system cripples
powor; uniform grading, which sep
arates order from chaos; frequent
change ot teachers, which changes
tho order and prevents child's pro
gress. Tho child from year to yenr
passes on, lacking power of applica

Supt. Koehler oponed the discus
sion that followed. He explained a
manual he has spent much time pro
paring that will greatly benefit tho
rural schools by grading their work.
Ho also stated thnt we must send

AFTERNOON SESSION.
Prof. Gortner occupied the first
period. Ho emphasized tho harm of
frequent chnnglng of teachers. If
necessary raise tho salary and keep
the good teachers. Tho three things
essential to success in the profes
sion are, a cool head, warm heart
and tough hide; one that is not
easily effected, not sensitive" to the
criticism of tho community. He
nlso discussed the Township High
school question.
A short business session was held
and the following officers were elect
ed: President, .Mrs. Alma Dix; vice
president, Charles E. Martz; secre
tary and treasurer, Clara A. Eck;
executive committee, A. H. Howell,
Vera Murray and Gertrude Lee.
As since our last meeting Prof
Dooley hns been removed from our
midst, Mr. Mark Creasy read tho re
solutions which tenderly expressed
the sentiments of the Wnyno County
teachers toward their departed
friend and co-worker.
A committee consisting of Messrs.
Creasy, Deitrich and Dlmon, were ap
pointed to meet with Supt. Koehler
to systemlze the High school course.
Judge A. T. Searle gave an ad
dress. As a former teacher, and at
present a director, and Juoge of the
courts, ho very ably entertained the
large audience. He complimented
the good work of our county super
intendent, and also his efforts to
have agriculture introduced in the
schools. If the cost of living ls to
be made less, an effort must be made
to get people interested in the farms
and get them bnck to the farms As
foreigners are often taught our ways
anii lansuaSe through their children,
B0 wln farmers be benefited by the
unuKa " "S'ltuiiuic uuu wiuiuuSK
of the subject that
the children
bring into the home.
The times are growing better. The
politicians are more decent. The
courts of Pennsylvania were care
fully explained. Then he stated the
essentials of the character of a teach
er are, good manners, enthusiasm,
cheerfulness, prudence in speech,
sincerity, honesty, and Independence.
Instill ln the hearts of the children
a love for their country, their state
and even their township. Pennsyl
vania is one of the most interesting
of tho states to study and it ought
to be thoroughly taught.
Prof. M. J. Costello, of Scranton
Technical High school, was Introduc
ed and gave a talk on "Pennsylvania
In Literature" which was very much
enjoyed as the subject was very
thoroughly and fluently discussed.
Many good Pennsylvania writers
and their masterpieces were men
tioned, and many touching tributes
to our state were given in a pleasing
manner.
Rev. Boyce gave a short talk, .-.nd
the meotlng was adjourned.
