Prof. W. N. Rice made an excellent
talk un the ductiine of effort.
j I here were several good recitations
and good music. A large audience
was present and everybody seemed to
enjoy them elves. There is a good
school interest in this neighborhood.
(The followii : teachers attended the
meeting: W. N. Rice, K. L. lowing,
B. R. McDonald. F W. Close, Misses
Anna Collins, Myrtle Barbour, Lurah
Nisbett, Kate Barbour, Era Gandy, L.
K. Ramsey, J. 1 Carrier, F. B. Swank
and W. T. Harris.
The value of these meetings can
hardly be over estimated and tin sue-
I cess ot them depends largely upon the
interest taken by the teachers. It i:>
an easy matter to get an audience and
' the people of the rurai districts are
usually interested in meetings of this
nature. They tend to upbuild a com-
munity and to promote an interest in
the i hools. Here parents hear sub-
jects discussed that pertain directly to
them and their children. Teachers
who complain of a lack of interest in
their schools should try the plan. All
that is necessary is to see a neighbor-
ing teacher, prepare a program, send
a copy to each person whose name is
on, and you will have a good meeting.
Try it. Remember the maxim: "As
is the teacher so is the school."

Friday, March 16, 190O, Arbor Day in

be observed by every school in Cleve-

so much beauty to the school ground
and that children will so highly prize

If trees are planted at all it should
be done right. The ground should be
carefully prepared and the ground
fenced. Trees that grow fast and are
easily broken should not be planted
