A. H. SHELT9N The annual teachers' institute will be held the last week in March, Assistant county superintendent of schools, E. F. Booth, has resigned to accept the principalship of the Kiel mond school. The preliminary eighth grade ei amination for rural schools will also b held next Saturday, March 4, in all the high schools of the county. This is the first attempt to hold an examine tion prior to the final examination which permit^ successful pupils t> enter any high school without exam ination. The object of this prelimi i nary examination i9 to get the pupil j interested in more education thru their | visitation to the high school, to trai?1 the pupils to center their thought for j several hours upon a given task, anc j to prepare for two real tests of theii I school work during their last year ir : school. Those pupils that take thii j examination have persevered, while j many of their classmates succumbed. jj They have shown a high aim and a de- sire to make the most out of the edu- f \ cational advantages their parents pre- J pared for them. May their number | increase each year and the school work f of the county become more and more helpful to them. A teachers' institute will be held in Woodstock next Saturday, March 4, for those who are now teaching their first school and those who expect to teach this fall. This meeting will be very practical. A number of questions based up the State Course of Study has been sent out, that each teacher may take an active part in the discussions. This course is used in all the rural schools and is made the basis of daily work by the teacher and of examina­ tions by the county superintendent. It definitely organizes the schools with systematic and regular alternation of classes, with daily program, methods of keeping records and school routine work. Altho this course is very tech­ nical and offers many difficulties to the beginner, yet it is essential for the teacher to have a thoro working knowl­ edge of it. Our school work must be uniform and systematic if all eighth grade pupils are to stand equally be­ fore the final examination. There must be daily reference to the same basis of work that all eighth grade pupils may take up high school work with equal preparation. This meeting will be convened in the high school building at 10 a. m., and will close promptly at 2 p. m. This gives time for three hours of solid work and permits many to drive in or to get home on the trains at a reasonable time. Supt. C. E. Thomas of Woodstock will address the teachers in the forenoon. Mr. Thomas is an experienced man in school work and will give a very helpful talk. Work for the April meeting will be distrib­ uted at this time. This is the first of a series of meet­ ings planned especially to aid young teachers. The work will be extended thruout the year, meetings being held in March, April and- May before ex­ aminations are given and before actual teaching is begun. In the fall similar meetings will be held in October, November and December, when begin­ ning teachers have so many new and difficult problem to solve. While this plan necessitates additional work for the young teachers, it ought to com­ pensate them by making their work more interesting and effective. Ex­ cellent instructors have been secured for these meetings and the good ac­ complished out to be reflected in the schools of our county. For the April meeting there will be some member of the faculty of the normal to talk along the advantages of special training for teachers. Superintendents Pileher, Dean, Reep and other school men of this county will also aid. A FIERCE NiGli* ALAKM the hoarse, startling cough of a child suddenly attacked by croup. Often it aroused Lewis Chamblin of Manchester, O., [R. R. No. 2] for their four children were greatly subject to croup. "Sometimes in severe attacks," he wrote, "we were afraid they would die, but since we proved what a certain remedy, Dr. King's New Disoovery, is, we have no fear. We rely on it for croup and for coughs, colds or any throat or lung trouble." So do thou­ sands of others. So may you.
