Thc.teachers of Halifax county met in their second regular session last Friday. Feb. 21, in the court house at Halifax.1 The meeting was well attended, there being seventy odd teachers pres ent, and much interest was shown in the discussions. County Superintendent. Dr.

A. S. Harrieon, had notified the teachers that they would be expected to discuss Dr. McMurray's book. "How to Study." The teachers pf the county were di vided into four groups under Superintendents Allbright, of Aurelian Springs, Akers, of Roanoke Rapids, Everett, of Weldon, Whitaker, of Enfield, and Aiken, of Scotland Neck.

Superintendent Allbright, -who was to have discussed the first and second chapters was absent, we suppose, on account of of bad roads. Superintendent Whitaker, who was to discuss the fifth chapter consented to open the i discussion and after this the meeting was thrown open for a general discussion of the ques tion, i ntrod uced by Superi tend-ent Aiken, "Where does the fault lie that children do not know better how to study. Several teachers entered into the discussion and many good points were brought out. The teachers of the Roanoke Rapids Graded School, led by Supt. Akers.

discussed the chapter and valuable papers were read by Misses Johnson, McGow-an, and Ilearne. Miss Forbes, of the primary department, made a very interesting and instructive talk on "How the children of the primary grades manyb given a definite aim At this juncture Supt. Harrison announced that the ladies of Halifax, had prepared lunch for the teachers and ail went down stairs to one of the large rooms of Halifax county's beautiful new court house Where hot coffee, sandwiches, salads, and cakes were served. The ladies of Halifax have! treated us royally each time that we have met there and we have had to leave so early each time that we have hardly had time to meet and thank them, but we learned that two of the leaders in this expression of hospitality to the teachers were Mrs. N.

L. Stedman and Mrs. Starling Gary. After luncheon the discussion was taken up by Supt. Everett and the teachers of the Weldon Graded School.

After introductory remarks by Prof. Everett, who said that he was glad that this was one meeting where the men didn't do all the talking. Tapers were read by Misses Lan-dis, Webb, Hassel, Dickens and King. Here Dr. Harrison introduced Prof.

C. W. Wilson, of the East Carolina Teachers Training School. Prof. Wilson had a prominent part in organizing the Halifax County Teachers' Institute while he was superintendent of the Scotland Neck Graded Schools and is no stranger to the teachers of Halifax county.

He spoke for about 40 minutes on the subject of "Interest." He said that interest was the mother of Attention and Attention was the mother of knowledge and showed that there could be no definite aim in study without interest. His talk was one of interest and to continue the meetings on Friday instead of Saturday. It also to hold the next meeting at Weldon and on motion of Supt. Aiken a rising vote of thanks to the ladies of Halifax for their royal reception and hos-patality was carried" unanimously. The discussion of the last two groups of teachers had to be left over until the next meeting which will be some time in March.
