Meets at King&ree and Arranges for Observance of Field Day. The regular monthly meeting of I the Teachers' Association of Williamsburg .county was held in the Kingstree school auditorium Saturday. Prof W E Dennison of the University of South Carolina was on the program for an address but forjsome reason was unable to come. As it was the last meeting to be held before the annual Field day, the entire program was given over to Dusiuess. Twenty-five or thirty teachers from all sections of the county were in attendance. The first matter considered was whether to hold Field day exercises this year. After discussion.it was so decided and April 4-5 chosen as the time. The same program as last year was decided upon, except that there will be no parade, and the participants in athletic events will be divided into two classes according to their height, instead of high or elementary school pupils. The subject of the participation of the Kingstree school in the exercises was also considered. For the past year or two this school has not entered the contests, since, being the largest school in the county, some schools might maintain that they I would have no chance. However, it | was decided that Kingstree enter ' the exercises this year. The following committees were appointed to arrange for these exercises: i Reading?Misses Mamie Foster, Greelyville; Marie Jackson; Union; Lula Logan, Kingstree.
