When the next session of the Edgefield Baptist Association is held, Ebenezer church, located at Trenton, will make application to be admitted into this association. Fer several years the change has bien agitated but until recently a majority of the members of Ebe nezer were opposed to leaving the Ridge association. Already this church bas begun to affiliate with the churches of the Edgefieid as sociation, Ebene zer having elected delegates to the union meeting that will be held at Antioch next jn?lay. The good people of Tren ton and vici?ity will be very winni y welcomed by the members of the Edgefield association. TEACHERS? ASSOCIATION. i *. ' . .'. { " '.' .?..'.. ..'" Large Attendance, Interesting- Pa pers and discussions, Much Real Interest Manifested. (Wntten for The Advertiser by one of the Teachers.) . ID the college auditorium last Friday morning at eleven o'clock Mr.' \V. D. Holland, County Su perintendent of Education called to order the first session of the Teachers' Association of Edge field county. Or perhaps it would be better to qualify somewhat. This was not the first session held in the county but rather the first meeting this year, the previous association having, as Mr. Holland stated in his opening address, fall en into a relapse. After brief de votional exercises and a. short in troductory speech" by the County Superintendent the business of organization was immediately en tered into. Upon motion of Col F. N. K. Bailey, Mr. .Holland was unanimously elected president of the association .Prof. Zeigler of Johnston theu put in nomination for secretary Col. Bailey, but at the request of the nominee withdrew this name in favor of Miss Madge Mays who was with much acclaim elected. The secretary upon completing a roll of the tedchers present an nounced that thirty-five were present, half the white teachers in the county as was pointed out by the President who seemed grati fied at Ihe interest 6hown by the county's instructors. To some however it may F.eem a defect in the state school system that at tendance upon all such meetings is not compulsory. In some states such meetings or iuistitutW are held at regular iutervale and those who draw state funds dare not be absent upon paiu of for feiting their share of the publ c school money. It wou'd certainly seem that-teacbers who attempt to Ke progressive should never miss an opportunity of . discussing, questions of Buch vital importance as our educational problems. From the business session th? association passed immediately to a consideration of the program. The first topic for discussion was: "What the Teacher Owes his Pro fession," aud the two speakers were Mrs. Latimer ard P. P. Burns Mrs. Latimer was excused by the President and the only "6et'? speech w.as the paper read by Mr. Burns. Two or three -of the re marks in this paper caused some discussion maiuly by way supple ment. For the most part this was ccmment on the statement of the speaker, that "the teacher who works wi'h.a check as his only aim can not be careless of the en ergy, and.q'uality- of his instruction and insensible to the real welfare of the student. Prof. Hand of the diversity of South Caiolina was J being called upon the -^short^taik'.W the! ^S?frei?^ vin?s speaker he was of the opin ion, that there - was food for the thought ?B to the remuneration of tho teacher; Prof. Zeigler ali? commented on the same point dis cussing for the - most part how ever what tho public owes the te?chei instead of what, tho teach er owes the profession. - Prof. Long of Trenton com menced briefly on. the questionof technical excellence in the teacher The second subject considered was that of "the Place and Im portance of Scientific Temperance Instruction." A very strong paper on this topic had been prepared by Mrs. Julian Mims and in her absence this was read by' Mies Minnie Dicks of the Edgefield graded school. Dr. Burts who was also present as an auditor was re quested by the President to make some remaiks on the subject. He complied and in a very forceful speech made a stroi.g plea for bet ter and more thorough and uni versal instruction on the evil of intoxicants and narcotics. In the following discussion Prof. Hand was again called to the floor and between him and Dr. Burts quite a number of well taken points were brought out. Prof, Long and Mr. Arthur confined their remarks largely to the matter of tobacco The afternoon session was prin cipally engaged with the high school problem, Prof. Zeigler and Miss Hattie Newsom the regularly appointed speakers were both ex cused by request and the discus sion was largely, impromptu. Col. Bailey made his first talk to the association and really. Bummed up the whole situation in his re mark that no high school work should be attempted in any school where the . equipment was not thorough for the elementary, work. High school work and primary grades must both inevitably Buffer where the former i? attempted without careful instruction in tho latter. Prof. Haud'whom the body of teachers refused ' to leave un heard outlined in a thoroughly logical, clear and conclusive way the place of each of our depart mcnts of school work. Just before adjournment the association upon a very graceful motion of Prof. Long extended to Col. Bailey its thanks for his hosDitality and en tertainment. The night session as previously announced was given wholly to the address of Prof. Hand bu edu cational problems in general and the high school questiou in par ticipar-au address which should be of interest to every patrou, stu dent and teacher. Prof. Hand haV bf en interested for some years in ?ducatiou and in the rec-*ut c ?un y high school movement be bas ceeu particularly interes;ed. Hi? imminents were in line with hi vell known views on these ques iou8. It is a very regrettable fnc* [bat such a large part of Edge ield's population rernaiued away. ,bo audience being composed al post-wholly of students and vis: ing teachers. Upon actual co:.nt fewer tn??'".f;weDty-fi.ve citizens of the town were iu the audience, abd it. is to-be fear?d that Prof." Hand may add this city to hie list as/aetrikiiig proof of ?he jus tice of his. s'rk tures on the luck of .moral support given teachers by patrons of schools. Edgcfield Rifle Company Re-or ganized. On Thursday evening last abouL half a hundred men, cbieflvyounj; men, mot in the opera bouse to organize a military company.
