“THE TEACHER AND
HER INFLUENCE.”
Subject of Discussion at Meeting
cf Barrow County Teachers
Institute.
The Barrow- County Teachers In
titute convened at the school audi
torium on Saturday morning at tem
t'.iirty. The session was called to or
der by Supt. Holsenbeck and the de
votional was led by Rev. Faust, after
which the rules and regulations gov
erning schools were read and explain
ed. Next Miss Loveridge was in
trduced to the body. Mis® Love
ridge is President of the Elizabeth
Mlather College, of Atlanta, and is
a woman who is exceptionally quali
fied to address teachers having
at different times been teacher
in country and graded schools;
in colleges—once Dean of Schools
and at present President of perhaps
the coming college of its kind in
the south. Elizabeth Mather is a
college of lib* ral, fine and practical
arts and is ti e third of its kind to
he established. President Loverdige
address was “The Teacher and Her
Influence,” discussing her theme
under throe topics- -Physical, Mental
and Moral. Much stress was laid
on the teacher’s responsibility and
influence in her community.
The first hour of the afternoon ses
sion was spent in round table discus
sion cf questions of interest com
piled by teachers. At three Presi
dent Loveridge adressed the local
Parent-Teacher Association and Coun
ty teachers on Vocational Education.
Her addresses were received with
close t a't ntion, and great applause.
At the close of her address* im
promptu testimonials a,s to the value
and aid of the Parent-Teacher Asso
•
ciiticn work was attested to by Prof.
Cash, Principal Miaughon and Miss.
Swinney, of the Winder School, and
Miss Harris, Principal, of Stathami
School, from the teacher’s viewpoint
Mesdair.es Toole, Starr, Horten and
Rev. Faust fittingly responded.
Practiea ly every teacher in Bar
row county promised to organize au
association in his or her school at
earliest convient date Let this be
done, for surely nothing is of mor*r
importance toward uniting school and
community; nothing brings teachers
and parents into closer relation, thus
solving problems of interest to both,,
and for the good of children.
There is a dream in the minds
and hearts of seme for Barrow and
t. at dream will be realized when her
sc’ ools are known as Georgia's best.
