lican party for state treasurer and as the times of philadelphia vies with the other papers in his support it might be wise for all the parties what is the best in the democratic organization and what is left of the bifurcated re publican ranks to nominate1 and elect general gregg unanimously he lived in our county at one time residing in norristown a while and then in bridge port and he served the state and nation in the war of 1801-5 the only objec tion to this recommendation would come from the friends of rosier residing in our county general gregg says he is not a seeker after the office but the same may be said of bosler i have known both of these gentlemen for many years they are both men of in tegrity and intelligence and would serve the people faithfully i know i have known gregg

meeting depended on us we feel that we should fail hut it is von who will crown it with success i am glad to welcome von for all of us feel the need of the helpful influences of this meeting we all realize that education is less valued than any other one thing which we are capable of possessing we lay much stress in this country on our splendid resources but the gold the iron the oil and the fertile fields were all here before white man came there was even man here but it needed educated man to prove that treasures here existed ami to develop these hidden resources at sueh an assembly as this we should he very helpful to one another no one appreciates education so much as those who are deeply engaged in it to teachrn it means so much of their life it means their very best efforts to directors it means much work much thought and often much unjust criticism the school is the head of the stream from which must how these helpful influeik s to all some people view education as an ornamentation merely and it is hoped that by this institute we may be led to view educa tion just as it should be we will be glad to hear opinions freely expressed and we desire to have the views of the teachers from their own standpoint the directors are more or less hampered in their vision and their view is distorted bv the dissatis fied taxpayer but we are here as teachers and directors to discuss questions of vital interest to the conduct of our schools by an interchange of views all can be benefited " mr xelson then introduced mr george v quiguty president of the association mr quigley in responding expressed his heatt appreciation of the cordial reception lie was glad to accept the hospitality of the friends of the public school we are here to bring to your consideration the great subjects of edu cation and the work committed to our tare — the human life and soul our assemblage is to discuss the merits and questions of the common schools which shall equip the children and present to i lie world a symmetrical body and soul the issue of today is bow to develop the ideal in the human life it is ad mitted that in youth in the time to ir velop lives when they are pliable and we desire to study the best means to attain this development of dormant by education the directors admit tiny lack the opportunities they desire to accomplish this consequently they must meet to getla-r and with the teachers to inter change ideas and they need thu help of teachers and parents is not your ciiiild to '»¦ helped to till a better pla<v in the woild '< i igbt possfblli

i|iicstion and urg ing action despite the opposition which may at first result mr deprefontalno favors setting aside a certain amount of money each year for the purpose ot establishing free libraries ( '. a wagner addressed the meeting favoring the plan lie had looked up the law on the subject in lhlil the lirst law was passed in this state allow ing school boards to establish libraries of only strictly professional books this was designed to benefit the teach ers in 1898 the old law was superced ed and directors nmv establish public libraries by b vota 01 the board they iikiv use a part of the school building or may erect a new building for that purpose they are permitted to levy a tax rate of not more than one mill on the assessed valuation tlie library to be conducted by nine trustees of whom the president and treasurer of trie school board are ex-offieio mem bers as is also the supervising princi pal of the school if there be one if not then the secretary is a member the remaining members are appointed by the school board the law places no limitations yet the spirit infers that i he public library should be established in the centre of the district and also intimates that the best feeling shall exist between the school boards and the managers the end of education must be the de velopment of self and the public schools are approaching that end the school takes the child and teaches it curtain things and it leaves school with a certain ability these capabilities begun in school in some students are carried out in colleges for these peo ple the public library does not mean very much hut the rest of the great army also have tastes engendered which must be satislied and the establishment of the public library is the solution this can be established but possibly the taxpayers will not stand it there was n fierce struggle to establish the public school system but it succeeded and so will the efforts to organize pub lie libraries if the agitation is kept up it is certainly one of the ways bv which the boys may be kept on the firm prof zeigltr of ilatboro said he was very much interested in the subject and was glad the act nf 1s9 was passed it will result in stemming the tide of evil caused by the spreading of impure reading and will foiin a clean educa tional current lie thinks it is largely the influence of bad literature which is filling up the penitentiaries today we should follow the precedent of massa chusetts where every township and borough has a circulating library am there is enforced in the schools a sys tematic course of reading if it results in good there it can well be established liere mr quigley said he would like to nee the hall crowded with taxpayers so that the importance of the subject could be impressed upon all thomas williams said that nearly every school in cheltenham had a libra iy established by contribution rev nelson said ambler has two libraries one in the opera house and one in the school public libraries in general should he better selected abington district has a public library and parents anil pupils patronise it largely lnnsdale also ban a public library well selected nnd patron i ml chairman quigley then sisked the very pointed question if this is the law of the land why don't we do it mr williams moved that this meeting commend that the question be taken up by each school board at the first meet ing in june carried unanimously what part of the regular salary should be paid a substitute teacher elicited much discussion m iss isabel mcsparren and sara w ferguson who were to open the subject being absent thomas williams of cheltenham said the substitute teacher should be paid tlie current rate as she has the responsi bility regular teachers often in at tempting to teach occupy their places when seriously indisposed and fail toac ooniplish the results they should where as if a substitute could be secured they could rest and recuperate miss edna a shirk of the ambler school thought the substitute should not receive the full amount especially if paid by the legular teacher if paid by the board she had no objection the substitute is engaged onlv part of the time and certainly does not do the work of a regular teacher 8 s isarr thought that if substitutes teach a week or more they should re ceive full pay rev nelson contended that the sub atitute docs not do the work of a regular teacher slut docs not accomplish that discipline and specialization of work which the regular teacher dors the former cannot curry out the course of study nor assist the director as can the regular teacher and it is not fair 10 give her the full puy mr llainiei was not in favor of pay ing a teacher unless she teaches and when one is indisposed the salaiy by the law of compensation should go to the substitute chairman quigley informed the meet g that in philadelphia a substitute is not allowed the regular salary mr garner suggested that the teach anil the substitute could settle the matter between them the meeting adjourned at i 10 for t iiiiiiu.il mi 1'uga 4 ambler's low finances cmtmrfl mnti to iin<i » tsmtil halt 	 sln-w work imlrrff-ri'il wllll t.ix lti.tr
