We understand that Hit, Gonnty Teactiers' Association had JnH a quo­ rum mt Nundaott hwt Saturday. It is useless to try to hold a County Associ­ ation at one point forever, especially when that point is far to <we side of the center of the county. Let it go romi il, gentlemen, frotp place to place, and you will probably Mva a large attendance. The above take* Immh the fiduca* tlonal Column «f the -Woodstock Sen- ttuei, ealls tot a aaaanaeiit or two. At the last meetHig at Kunda, there were fimrltm tcaeheta In attendance, which, aaasldering the weather, hardly indi­ cates that It is "useless" to keep it at Me point. There is an Impression among some of the teachers that if those who are occupying prominent positions In the educational system 'Ware a little more Interested la school warfc tliey would try and make these meetings, "helps** to Increased efflcien. <cfr on the part of our teachers, and UK*® them what they should he. Several Inquiries have been made of *a as in why we do net print the inln. Mtes of the McHennr Conuty Teachers* Assoclntlon. Mm the reason that no minutet are sent to the editor of thit department. The Sentinel has the ianrett circulation of amy paper in the emmty. ar.cl we will he glad to give its jiatrons the latest reliable news at all times; fmt'we do not care to print min­ utes that have (men iwtu to otfier papers inprtSerencetoourt. If we are fur­ nished with the minutes In time they will be promptly Inserted. We have Italicized the parts of the ahove which we wish to notlee. The; jfacts are these: A copy of the min- «tes of the A«soetationt held at Nunda, December 18.1880, was received at the PUINDEILEB office. Monday, January •" Sd,and a proof sent to the Sentinel on Tuesday, January 4th, If It was not ridelved by the proper person at the proper time, the mall department alone is to blame. Editors are so prone to make statements like the ifceond that we simply remark that It would be much more convincing if the figures were given. It is less' work to sat up matter from a proof than It Is t front manuscript, and some paper roust , have it int. The correspondence of the Sentinel does not usually reach the oQce until Tuesday noou, which Is the time they should have received the ppoof from this office. jlTaoAete have heard eaaph aheat the *$olney plan of teeing," and will be . Interested In Che following leaowit of . Got Parte---fc*poe4tci #1 tha Qulocy plan--before the State Association at Springfield: * when he stepped rtjph* dSown into the iiti<lot of his smlientf. and eagerly looked each roan right in the face as he hear«l and answered his questions, disappointment fled. Then the speak­ er was In his element. The listeners got all they wanted or could expect. Then there was humor and light and, point. Then the spirit of the manjind of his supervision--there Is absolutely nothing else In the "Qulncy System"-- began to show itself. Then we began to see how the man enters ' the school room;how he addresses his teachers; liow he enlivens and quickens into rap> Id currents the sluggish waters of tha school room; then we could see the force that can take an intelligent, en­ thusiastic teacher, and without itself really knowing how It does It, lift her beyond herself and make her strong and successful In the realm of genuine teaching, where It would be ntter folly and failure for hlne*tenths of our ordinary teachers to attempt to breathe. Then there began to be spe­ cific meaning to the stock phrases, "Freedom of the teacher," "Work out her own salvation.""Education is. In­ tellectual development,1* etc. And when at last the hackman gave the fa­ tal word that another minute's delay would make it useless to attempt to catcii the train bound for the East, and the Colonel grabbed his hat and coat with all the intensity and fervor of the response, of which he was just In the midst, and ran for the door, be heard an applause which ludicated an amount of satisfaction in his vlalt, and of regret at his abrupt departure, of which lie may well be proud. What a blessing it would be If there were thousands of such men in the country, whether philosophers or not. to prevent the incrustation of formal-, ism and tradition, which, like a deadly frost of winter, is settling down upon so many of oar large graded school systems! Let us hope that the Colonel Is not Incased In such a thick shell of TankeA conceit and conservatism that his eflorts to stir the dry bones of Bos­ ton will result in his own funeral." --Sehootfncuter.
