, In closing his address Mr.. O'Connor ad-
vised the teachers to form themselves into
, an organization, meet frequently, consult
! regarding the many evils in our school
system that should be remedied, and be
ready to memorabilia the Legislature and

an individual here and there would be
passed idly by, but the united voice of the

demand respectful consideration, and Sc
cure the passage of all needed laws

indorsing the views of Professor O'Connor
On motion, Professors Johnson, Ander-
son and Babcock, Mrs. Bassett and Miss
Watson, We're appointed a Committee on

sells of the teachers of that institution.
