Knowing that you are always glad to
hear from any educational movement, write you
few lines from the Semi-Annual Session of the
Ohio State Teachers Association.
This is the most important session yet held, in
point of both numbers and talent. Over three
hundred teachers, male and female, about equally
divided. A more intelligent and encouraging
body Of men and women have never looked upon,
and what is still better, high degree of enthusi-
asm, guided by well tempered judgment, animated
all hearts, and our eastern friends may rest assur-
ed that Ohio is doing something in the greatest OF
all causes. The Teachers OF this State, with
lean pockets, say they are abundantly able
to employ and pay a Superintendent of Edu-
cation as long as the great State Of Ohio
feels too poor to pay. Ohio, as you know, has
of better land than be found In any
other section of the globe-that she has population
of 100000 while but half century old-thst she
has to the markets OF the world by the lake
on the north and the river on the ssuth-that she
has coal enough TO supply 2OOOoOOO OF people Tor
10000 years-that she has vast iron beds In her
southern central sections-hat she has S6O00OOOOO
of wealth-and yet, with ell these divine favors
and all this wealth, she still negects 10 provide for the
superintendency OF education But this reproach will
NOT long rest upon the fame of Ohio for her teachers
n
that shall place Ohio educational equality with
any State in the Union.
In support Of these, must add word concerning
the generosity Of the people of Sandusky City toward
the Association Every provision that could add 10 the
peasanness of the meeting made without regard to
the cost Entertainment was most literally provided.

of brass band she carried nearly the whole deega'

that cluster of beautiful islands that stand al this gate

On returning in the evening, the Teachers were hur-
red into another treat In the shape of grand soiree

State.
The business of the session comprised reports, ad-
dress the Journal Of Education the SUPPLEMENTARY

School bill reported TO the Legislature and laid over to
the next Session.
Among the addresses was one by the President of
Miami University, President Anderson setting forth the

education holds TO all that lie great and good.
Another address was by Prof Fairchid, OF Oberlin
on the Union of the Sexes In schools lie contend
ed that they should not be divorced while obtaining
an education. They bred together in the family

of separate schools for the sexes Is productive of great
