ASSOCIATED BOARDS OF EDUCATION . The Spring meeting of the Association of Boards of Education of CapMay Oonnty last Saturday in "the Upper Township High School, Tuckahoc, was among the very best both in mat- ■ tera presented and in attendance. There were three excellent papers: , by Dr. Eugene Way of Dennisville upon "Medical Inspection;" by Prof. F. O. ■ Hartman, of Woodbine, upon "The Attendance Problem." and by Oounty Superintendent of Instruction Aaron W. Hand, upon "School Conditions in the Oounty." and all of which Mr. Hand promises shall be published for general circulation. Dr. John S. Douglass. Pros- , ident of the Associated Boards, was . chairman and Prof. C. H. N'ewkirk was i secretary. The invocation was by Rev. ■ W. R. Swain, of the local M. E. Church. In the roll call of Districts, eight of the total fourteen responded with mem- | bera and teachers. In the "Reports of . Progress and Conditions," Stone Har- , bor. tile Habv member, reported iipoi^ tinnew building for school purposes fast , approaching completion, and. altliougli several elections had been necessary to \ get it started, no one could be now ( found who was opposed to it. The one- , room building of ample capacity two years ago has this year been entirely inadequate. With pupils enough for the employment of two teachers, both hnd been eomnelled to use the one room, and in this there were more pupils than , seats. The teaeliers had rendered ex eelleiit service in spite of the handicap: Ish-iniur daily several hours overtime. Tliere bad been no .illness among the pnpiK during the srhitol vear. M'-dieal inspection was very acceptable to the parents and suggestion^ of the Inspector bad h-en at once complied with and

the improvement apparent is appreciated. The District Clerk had reported all bonds issued for the school building disposed of. At the recent election for member^ of tin: school board, the first for the borough, the vote was unanii mous for a board of nine members, and the nominations made at the opening of the meeting were the unanimous choice. There were 84 ballots cast, one being blank. The number, for the size of the community and' the unanimity speaks for the feeling toward the school. ' A new feature introduced by the primary teacher is sight singing and is - proving a complete success. Superintendent Hand supplemented the report with the fact that the uew building will cost £12,500 is to be up to State requirements. He also said he had attended one of the preliminary elections and found it one of the liveliest meetings Dr. Eugene War in his paper marked hack to the beginning of medical inspection, in 1800, when through the misunderstanding of parents and taxpayers as to what it meant, there was such opposition several Boards were compelled ti» abandon it. The State law, he said is imperfect and should be remodelled ii|>on that of Pennsylvania. Those most opposed then are now most urgent for it and would like "to have the law include treatment as well. The law favors the community but is a loss to the raising tin- health rate. The salary of the ofPcc is in no. way commensurate with tin- time required for the examination. The greatest value is in preventing epidemics by isolating cases as soon as discovered and taking other prerauW. R. Swain. District Clerk of l-owcr Township, reports Marked improvement in school work where defects in sight, hearing and teeth noted by the inspect; j or had been remedied. The iuspector of WHdwood had ha. I ' troubles which others had not mention-; ed but which the smile that was passed ' told were the common lot of all, but which by persistent effort he had kept under control. In his community too the standard of scholarship had been raised by attention to the Inspector's suggestions. Dr. Scott reporting from Avalon detailed many instances in which treatment following advice of the inspector had told in scholarship. There was a marked improvement in health since occupying the new school building. There had been no contagious disease prevalent this Vear excepting the mumps now on. For size of school. 38 pupils, the health conditions were above the average. In his other district of Sea Isle, Dr. Scott said, the treatment of physical defects had been followed by improved school work. In the autumn diphtheria had developed in four families, but prompt, act ion in isolating the cases and fumigation had prevented further spread. Dr. Douglass told of his work in Middle Township and Stone Harbor, parents complying at once with the suggestions he made. The greatest good done by 'e»pc-t<on is in preventing the spread of contagious diseases and bringing children to normal by correcting physi-

cal defects. One thing he makes as law is that the school boose shall be emptied at recess that the children may exhale the poisons inhaled during the ocenpicd period. For one and two room schools he finds the self-ventilating heater nearest to perfection. Prof. Hartman considered the attendance problem of greatest importance and had found ten ruling causes for absence in Woodbine, chief of which was illness and "on a visit" as next. . Lack of interest in the school had been remedied by the teachers- in making school more attractive. Getting iuto closer touclu with the parents at the Home sniifSchool meeting had also helped. Teachers were sometimes to be" blamed in not understanding the child nature: governing by fear instead of love, and, for not breaking the monotony of routine. The figures be gave of the loss of money to the community by absence of pupils wore startling. Superintendent Hand in comment showed the importance of the position of the attendance officer. He confessed to having been surprised to find a case of illiteracy rightist his office door in Court House, the result of the old glass blower way of putting children at work early instead of sending them to School ; parents could see no use of schooling. Dr. Marshall, inspector of Upper , Township said of medical inspection, for greatest good to the child one must get down to its level make it glad to see the doctor instead of being afraid of him. Defective teeth is a very great source of trouble. The wise parent sees to it that the child has a clean mouth and which means a clean stomach ami no trouble with liver and the rest. Medical inspection is making money for the parents in preventing illness but it a loss to the doctor as business. The children are stronger and better in mind and body because of it. Thirty per 'cent - of the absence from school is due to defective teeth. The prizes are won by | i- children with sound teeth. ^ Superintendent Hand's paper showed ^ he had organized everything in the ^ county pertaining to education. The association of school boards in its nearly j 20 years of existence had seen the school census grow from 3000 to over ® 5000, and the teachers from 64 to 175; valuations increased from $5,500 to $35,- ' 000 and the State apportionment in- . creased from $17,000 to $139,525. F.duf cation in the County, he said, is represented by 5394 persons including pupils. 1 The administration of the school laws in each district is entrusted to the* Boards of Education." showing the im- . Iiortanei- of the Boards. - Mr. Hand gave - credit for good results to the Home and j School associations and to the Home j Culture proposition which is creating an interest in domestic science. Of the 45 school houses in the county. 3! were up to State requirement, and excepting d three that were to he condemned, the others might be remodelled. The afternoon session was in the lecture room of the Tuckahoe M. K. church : '' and was intended to combine entertainment with instruction. Tims, the de- ° liglitful lecture with stereoptieoa views upon Switzerland by Prof. George F. *" Baillets of the Middle Township High School faculty, was -to show the wonders Mini beauties of the Mountain Republic, and the value of the lantern and slides in teaching geography, while the -lapan- " ese chorus followed by the "Flower of Ycddo" -botfi given by High School stu- '' dents was a lesson in Japanese art, costumes and customs, showing all thrqc well worth adopting. The dinner was at noon in the Y. M. ('.
