To the Editor of the Dispatch: I have been very highly complimented by some of the leading educators of the county for my offer of a gold pen to that pupil making the greatest improvement in vertical writing. It now remains for time to show how well the children will > better their writing and which one shall be the fortunate one. Tbh pretty system of writing is a beauty of itself and is fast becoming the writing of all business. The school that fails to use it and continues writing the oblique will be numbered among those not keeping up in the most important part of the school.

Allow roe to suggest that all the teachers placing their schools in the contest have their pupils write all exercises in the vertical and use the copy books just before Doon. I find this the best time for a writing exercise. The children are then calmer than any other time and their nerves least excited. Have all to write at the same time and criticise every step in their work that goes wrong and never fail to praise each improvement however slight. By no means let them write just when they please. You can make no success unless the best of order be maintained during the writing. Yours for better writing, S. S. Lindler. -i-'ii c n VT 1 i Qno iL.ua, o. u, ^ ? Teachers' Meeting. The Lexington County Teachers' Association met in the building of the Lexington Classical Institute, on Saturday, October 18th, at 11:30 a. m., Vice President, J. F. Kyzer, in the cbair. The first business transacted was organization and the election of officers for the ensuing year. Mr. J. F. Kyzer was elected Presidenl; Mr. Thad W. Dreher, Vice Presidenl; L. A. Sease, Secretary; and Messrs. 0. D. Seay, Thad W. Dreher, J. E. R Kyzer, Misses Ellen Hendrix and Mary Wingard, Executive Committer. This completed the organization and the programme was taken up as published: The subject of "Language" was discussed by Miss Ellen Hendrix, who gave a practical illustration of her method with a class of small children. She showed to the members of the association that she was thoroughly acquainted with her subject, and that she cares for the practical as well as the theoretical training of the children, who are to fortunate as to be placed under her buiexuge. Superintendent of Education, J. E. Riwl Kyzer, discussed the subject: "Duty of the Teacher to his Association.*' He outlined his remarks under two heads: 1st. The teacher's duty to enroll his name as a member of the association, and, 2ad, To attend regularly the meetings of the association. Tl necessity of theae duties arise from the fact that every teacher, no matter how experienced, could learn something from associating with fellow teachers, and exchanging ideas, methods and experiences. This subject was further discussed by Messrs. Dreher, Seay and Sease. The general concurrence of opinion being that the teacher who doesn't belong to his county association, j doesn't deserve to be ranked with the first class teachers of this county. They say, by their actions, that they know well enough how to teach and ; could not learn anything by associating with their fellow teachers. The next subject: "The Story in Education,*' was discussed by Mr. Thad W. Dreher. He said, io part, that the story holds an important place in the history of education. The Ancients used it, the Divine writers used it, and to day we are using it. He quoted several beautiful stories from Mr. Ruskin, the Bible and other writers and applied their practical significance. He emphasized the importance of the right kind of stories. His address showed him to be a reader, a thinker, as well as a worker. Miss Mary Wingard read a very interesting and instructive paper on "Spelling." She discussed the three methods of spelling viz: The PhoDic, the Oral and "Written, giving the circumstances under which any one is best to be used. This subject was further discussed by Mr. Seay and Miss Geiger. Thus closed one of the most successful meetings in the history of the I association. Every subject on the j programme being discussed by the I teacher to whom it had been assigned. All present seemed to take a lively interest in the discussions, and in the welfare of the association. I Ail expressed a desire to try to enroll every teacher in the county as a member during the coming year.
