proportions of a county gathering. Bur-
perintendent Zinser presided and pre
sented a memoranda of topics of special";
Interest, relating to school matters. The
school ollicers present took an active
part in the discussion, and the interest
shown was highly gratifying. Special
attention was called to the heivnti fylng
and improvement of school grounds;.,
school officers were warned to beware of.
purchasing of agents expensive school
apparatus, which was costly and of im
practical use, Thesuperintendentrecom
mendedthat books on supplementary.'

were not expensive. School laws anu
amendments were especially discussed,
ami it was astonishing to find how. few
school ollicers were familiar with- the
school laws. The convention proved
profitable one and possibly others will
