not entirely just.
Because the meeting of the Association
was not so fine and enthusiastic as he had
expected, he proceeds straight way to lay
the blame on the teachers and citizens of
ParkeBburg. Had he soughtvery indus.
triously for the facts, he could have given
somewhat juster and cxacter explains

Although | have not attended many OF
its meetings, the Association, under

organization for several years past. The
names OF many Of the best and most in
fluential teachers in the State, are, be-

Besides this, the Executive Committee

before 1t was held. We knew the time APP

Many inquiries were made Of usby letter
