On the twelfth iight, at the clos ing, several of the members asked is to continue the school every Saturday night. They seemed to think that the school was a great benefit to the com imunity. Many expressed it as being "Just the thing to stir up the enthusi asm of the neighborhood." Misses Alinnie ilubanks, Edna Clay ton, and Mary Mayes of the Youngs school write: "We feel repaid for tli work entailed by the night school be cause of the encouragement given us by the interest manifested in the coin iunity.

Advantage lecelied Fromt Attending Laurens ('ounty Teachers' Asscitlion. In brief, we hope to gIve a few prac tical, not visionary, advantages de ied from our Teachers' Association. To our mind, the advantages may be lvided into three main groups: in spirational, educational and social. The first, then, that of inspiration. There is a psychological result in the very meeting and mingling together of bodies of men and women, enthused with their work. No one can come away from any meeting, he it educa tional or religious, without having new hopes and greater Ideals. When ninety or a hundred teachers from Laurens county meet together In a body, and each is radiant with hope and success, the very atmosphere of the meeting is full of that spirit. One cannot help but go away with a stronger faith in his work. Tie teach Ing profession, dI urin'ig (lie last few (c!ades has risen wonderfully in the estiliationu of the olitside world. Too long" some teacleri have failed to mlin gle with ofther teachers, Hits losing tile opportulinity of catcling the spirit of their true great ness in the coutnty a nd the state. They have been Con tent to mov In their seeluded sph're, and 1 not to aid in the iiiovlteinnt of fiml r 1ei0g un11 the larger outel' world, the greatnes o! their lprofession. A teacler that ':tends the meetings of the tenthers' assorlation Is impressed with the forces working togethr fol a Comm111ont c.uts --the (dleatioll of all the children in .airens coutity-and goes away witi a feeling of co-opera ton anid iispirationI. Not only is a siril of in spiration foulId at these mteetings, ht also a shilrit of :inentijont and pro~gre'ss. IDur ng the pams year, there have bieen mat ters of gi .v(' imptan~iice discutssedi. Ther me)etintgs have bheniic wel'l araned tor by~ tile pro(gramit comitite(. .\at terIs relhitin g to thte pthysleal wveh lare of thie (hildren; concerning the best tmethodis in scho~ol discipline; abhot the relative imp iortatnee of t'eh sitIdy n thle course0 of study-these -are amoung a few oh the things dIlsclussed. lIt addlIt ion, therme have been lectures0 gIven that cauised us5 to thtink. To (huestiont ourI method, to weigh otursel' in thte balance hans beent thle result. TIruily, nto teaitlcher cant live ai sec~lld life fromt the 'other teatc tess .f er tu coun~tty without becomin:i- c rystalized to thIe ,)eniaitr condi ~ lins~ iLuretns county- -and nto teacher' caln leadl a life of real progress who (loes not in (crest himself in such movements. Agalin, such nmeetinigs have their' so cial advantatges. The scholastic yealr tshers mtanty new teachers itto the coutyt3. Tihese teachrs kntow very few or thteir' fellow teachers, and ver'y lit tie abou. the dliffe~gcm schlo.ls of the county. The teachers' meeting brlIngs these teachers together in a social way, and soon (lie new teacher will feel thant he has a circle of friends throughout the county. In no other way, is ht possible to get the teach ers of (lhe county together even in a social way. Finally, the teachers who attend the meetings are those who keep abreast with (te county-wide events, from (lie schools standpoint. Those who attend learn the various partIculars ab~out (lhe school fair', etc. They can ask qluestlons and get all Instructions firsthand. Trhey are not, a few weeks befoe the events, in dense ignorance about the various particulars. ' They, (lien, do not flood (te county officers with letter's asking Instructions. There needs to be a feeling of shame on (lie part of that teacher, wvho can and doees not attend the teachers' meeting; bt instead wafts tuntil the next week and writes page after page desiring information about these things which lie coutld have learned at the meetfng. Yet such, we fear, has been (lie case. We teachers of (lie county owe it to the county officers, that we burden them as little as.possible with unneu assary letters to be answered-thus giving their full time to real construe Live work. To us, the teachers' meeting has been a reservoir where we pour our trouble and oftentimes draw out not the troitbles but a remedy. I't has been I sourco of educational inspiration, tnd of making wider our friendship. aity the next year bring every teach cr into our association. R. T. Wilson, President. Stop That Cough--Now. When you catch cold, or begin to cough, the first thing to do is to take Dr. Bell's Pino-Tar--ioney. It pone trates the linings of the throat and lungs and fights the germs of the dis ease, giving quick relief and natural healing. "Our whole family depend on Pine-Tar-Honey for coughs andI colds," writes Mr. E. Wililams, Hamil- 1 ton, Ohio.
