State SuDerintendent Churchill has just published a tniall patnohtet con taining suggestions for parent-teacher j associations. This pamphlet will be. ready for distribution within a few days. 1 he work of the parent-teacher i associations thiougbout the State- has. proven of great value. The Stat" I University and the U. S. ' Bureau of! Education are both cooperating with the State Supeintendent in developing the work of the associations througoct the State. Teahers will soon receive from the Agricultural College the premium lists for the State indostrial contests. At the conference of the secretaries of the fair boards and the county super intendents, held , in Salem Jan. 2. many plans for making the local con tests more valuable were discussed. It ia likely that another conference will be held in March to perfect the plans. In the meantime it ia honed that teachers, parents and pupils will begin to plan for the work. It is time to begin planning for the raisins of vegetables, corn and other product!. Some of the woodwork features might be worked out during the wintei. It was suggested at the conferenoe that ther shoo id be oontests in other lines as well as In the industrial lines. Some of these may be in debating, soellog. arithmetic and declamation. As many schools have only six months work it will be necessary that the teachers of these schools en:ourage their pupils to go ahead with the work after school closes. In order to aid in tins it will be advisable that the industrial clubs be oganized. The bulletin wnich the 0. A. 0. will send out will contain the plans for organ izing these clubs. There should be such a club in every rural district. We can scarcely estimate the value of this line of work henoe it is to be hoped that every school will undertake it. Several schools in tbe connty have recently purchased the New Interna tiona) Dictionary. This is a good in vestment. The small dictionaries are valuable for spelling, syllabication, and pronunciation bnt as Dt. O'Shea points out they are not so valuable for definitions. The definitions and illustrations are too brief hence the necessity for a copy of the larger work. A lew schools have purchased the old Webster'i Dictionary which is sold at a low figure but it is a poor investment for it is a quarter of a century behind the times. "The best ib cheapest" is an old adage and it is a true one when applied to most school equipment. HARDMAN Mrs. G. G. Gaunt returned home Thursday.
