A meeting of local teachers interested
in the Teachers Convention to be held
at San Francisco next month, and who
were on the committees appointe to
make arrangements for the visit OF the
delegates and visitors who will stop over
here on their way to the Convention,
was held in the Spring street school
house yesterday afternoon. There were
present Misses Wooster, Durham, Knapp,
Dubois, Pearl, Bengough, and Roberts
Mesdames Averill, Hanchette, and Chap
man, and Messrs. Friesner, Eden, Bur
nett, Sallee, Prof. Lawson, and DR..
Plummer.
The meeting was called to order at
:35 O'Clock by the Chairman, Miss Woos-
ter. Miss Wooster added the following
names to the reception committee
July 9th, Mrs. Averill; July 10th,
Miss Bengough and Mrs. Bradfield I;
July 18th, Miss Slack July 18th, Mrs.
Averill July 18th. Miss Overman; July
14th, Misses Snyder and Kearney. The
rest OF the committee, as selected at the
last meeting, will be found in the HERALD
of June 21st. In reply to a question with
regard to the circular letter which was to
be composed and printed, Miss Wooster
said that though no committee had been
officially appointed, there was one in ex-
istence, viz. Misses Chapman, Dunham
and Fritt. Miss Dunham reported that
the outline OF the new circular was not
yet prepared. Mr.. Friesner suggested
that it should contain printed informa-
ton on all objects of interest, railroad
timetables, list of hotels and rates, cas-
lest methods of reaching them, etc.
Miss Wooster then suggested with re-
gard to the lemonade question brought
up at the last meeting, that the janitor OF
the Normal School be requested to take
charge of its manufacture, and that he
be paid for his services.
Mr.. Friesner moved that the commit
tee appointed for the purpose take charge
OF the matter entirely. Carried.
Miss Dubois moved that the principals
of the schools collect the fifty cents asses
ment to defray expenses, from their
teachers. Carried.
Miss Wooster suggested that as there
were only 125 teachers, the $50 thus col
lected would be totally inefficient for the
purpose, and that the citizens be asked
to subscribe towards entertaining the
visitors.
Miss Knapp reported that she had
seen several OF the gentlemen belonging
to the Board OF Education, but owing to
the inconvenient hour OF the meeting
they were unable to attend.
Mr.. Friesner moved that as Mr.. Day
was so enthusiastic over the subject that
he be appointed chairman of a Com
mittee to collect subscriptions among the
citizens, with power to appoint his own
Committee. Carried.
Mr.. Friesner then reported that he had
written about the badges, but had not
yet received any reply. Professor
Lawson OF the Committee, appointed to
clnvass hotels and boarding houses for
reduced rates, read list of the leading
hotels that had promised reductions.
Report accepted.
DR.. Plummer moved that the matter
OF advertising for rates and rooms be re-
considered and laid upon the table.
Carried.
Mr.. Eden OF the Committee on recep-
ton OF fruits had nothing to report.
Miss Dunham and Professor Lawson
discussed the matter as to whether or no
large body OF the delegates would be
here at any one time, and if SO, the
advisability OF rendering them an enter
tainment or reception some evening to
be determined later.
Mr.. Eden moved that the Committee
on Circulars take steps to have suffi-
cheney OF circulars printed for dstribu-
ton outside of the delegates. Carried.
The meeting then adjourned.
