Interesting Particulars.
 From the complete and excellent programme of the Arkansas State Teachers association we clip the following:
 All persons interested in educa- tion, and especially teachers and school officers, are cordially invited to attend the annual meeting, and become members of the association.
 The executive committee found it impossible to give all places on the programme. Limited time will be allowed for the discussion of most of the topics, and those not assigned work are expected to select at least one of the subjects, and come pre- pared to express in terse form, their best thoughts.
 It is hoped that all on the pro- gramme will make an effort to be present and perform their duties.
