Excerpt from Annual Report of the Public Schools of Wilkes County, 1905-1906 The Teachers' Association held four meetings during the year. These were better attended by the teachers than those of any pre vions year, and more interest was manifest. We have adopted the plan of designating certain teachers to prepare talks and essays on the subjects for discussion and find that this is an improvement on the former plan as the teachers selected for the work give more tlme and attention to preparing themselves for the discussions, hence making them more interesting and profitable to the members of the Association. After the regular discussion has closed any member who desires to do so is allowed to speak. Another new feature is the lectures and addresses which have been made to the body by members of the pulpit and the bar. We feel that these talks have done much good in inciting the teachers to renewed efforts and impressing more forcibly upon them their great duties and responsibilities.
