The morning session, opening at ten o'clock will be given to the business of the Board and will include the reports of District clerks and secretaries, attendance officers and medical Inspectors. Supt. Aaron W.

In the afternoon, following a brief period for business, I ' there will be a playlet in costume by the ' Middle Towgship High School pupils; | an address by Hon. C. X. Kendall, State j Commissioner of Education and an il- I lust rated lecture upon "The Pilgrim Fathers and the Pilgrim Country," by Rev. Paul SturteVant Howe, of Cape May City. Both sessions are open to •B. The conference of County Superintendent of Instruction Aaron Hand with <tiaitors grouped as engaged in similar lines of work, in place of the nirfhformal teaAerS' institutes is to every one's satisfaction. The lines about the groups are not hard and fast as the meetings are open to all. and any teacher may attend. The plan of the conference is. a leader for each topic and discussion open to all following. ' The unanimous vote at each conference thus fsr has been in approval and with a call for more. The group of last Saturday was of the primary teachers of the two-room schools of the county, those laying the foundation for all that is to come after. In the old way the memory was the one faental faculty, and to cram it to the limit was educating. The methods of the sp-akcrs at this conference showed the five imuvs to be in training and with power to think, to reason and to use judgment ■ recognised. The time is within easy memory when any one w»» good enough for tin- district »ch<>ol and a* primary teacher. but in these di; s the best training in the Normal is fir these, and the thought is growing tlii' the compensation for the work shoul.l be in keeping with its importance, and with tfye time and effort required to . qualify for it. _ The topics and the leaders were: "Methods employed to introduce beginners Jo school work and routin- j and to arouse their interest," Helen i Hand, Tuckahoe. (2) "The value of | Drawing and Manual Training in Pri- ■ marv Classes, time to be gi#en to each, what sort of manual training Is best." Helen Van Dyke, Rio Grande. (3) "The . ' value of dramatization and memory gems, and libw many periods required per week!" Emily J. Jones, Burleigh. "(4) "The value of accuracy and- neatness in all written work, on both board and paper," Alice Harris. Stone Harbo'. The methods may be told in the geui rally expressed astonishment of par rnts and grand parents that the children can read and write and do arithmetic before they know the name" ->f the letters; they can draw anything "they 'aint afraid to speak ple»*s be- . fore anybody and know a lot of them." -nd they ki*c to be caretjil ant i.eat and orderly ►ad to notice disorder and j untidiness."'

Ervin Cameron writing from Guantaname Bay, Cuba, January 31st, says: "Last Sunday, January 23, I was ashore on Culebra Island, W. L, and I attended | the Culebra M. E. Church. The build- | ing is about one-half the size of the .'room in the Borough Hall. The attendance was forty and mostly Spanish ' | children. The postmaster of Culebra ^ | I was the minister. Twenty -five of us boys went in. The minister oould speak i only little English . but we managed to ' understand his sermon, or. thought we i did. The boys and girls sang some of our well known hymns in Spanish, such as "Onward Christian Soldiers," and we boys sang with them In English. We closed the service by singing "America" which these children sang in English just as good as I ever heard it in any J public school in the United States. "The climate here is just a little too »arm at noon when one ts ashore, but t out on the sea it is cooler. I went a-liore yesterday and roamed along the coral strand. In some places I got as , high as 200 feet above the sea, and * where there were just as much coral and "as many shells as down on the bench. ; I asked a native Cuban how the shells | and coral came to be so high above the sea and he said it was a well known j fact that the land north of the equator is increasing in height, while below the p equator H is decreasing, and which was news to me. After going about three miles along the beach I started inland. ^ The vegetation is mostly palms, sugar j cane, with lots of -tohpeco plantations. There are lots of wild goats. Fishing j is very good and a lot of kinds I never ^ saw before." DR. KENDALL REAPPOINTED. j Hon. Calvin N. Kendall.
