state Superintendent McElroy
has issued a circular to the superin-
tendents of schools in the several
counties setting forth the fact that
tbe National Educational Associa-
tion will be held in San Francisco,
BEGINNING July Is. He extends an
earnest invitation to all superinten-
dents, teachers and friends of edu-
cation to attend, and places before
them the Importance of this great
convention to them.
Superintendent McElroy has also
appointed all the county and city
superintendents as an executive
committee. The circular further
states that very low round trip rates
of travel have already been secured
from the Oregon Pacific and the
Oregon Railway q Navigation COM
nanies. The 0. P. will sell round
trip tickets from Albany or Corvallis
TO San Francisco and return for S14.
These tickets will be good for 60
davs, and will be sold to all persons
who attend the national association.
The O. r. & n. Co. will sell round
trip tickets from Portland to San
Francisco and return for S25. This
rate will be good for 60 days, and
open to all, and will include a
membership fee of 50, which will
entitle the holder to all the privileges
of the National Association, includ-
ing bound volume of the proceed
ings, etc., which makes the real rate
S23 for the round trip. The Oregon
Railway & Navigation company
will also furnish reduced rates from
all points in Eastern Oregon to
Portland. Negotiations are now in
progress with the Oregon q Califor-
MIA railroad relative to reduced rates.
An educational bulletin will be
issued soon setting forth all details
of the trip, etc. at is expected to
establish headquarters (for Oregon)
at the Baldwin hotel, Market street,

will be maintained during the as
ISOLATION and will include bureau
Conformation Telative to Oregon) for
the thousands of visiting teachers
from the east. 1t is suggested that
each county send as many repre-
sentatives as possible and that they
he supplied with such pamphlets,
circulars and other county immi-
grafton literature as may be desirable
for circulation. With this in view,
it suggested that county superin-
tendents confer with their county
board of immigration (if one has
been established) relative to such aid
as they may be able to give i'll carry
ing out the above plan" Further,
the circular says: During the
present year, there has been more
public spirit shown in Oregon than
atany other period in the history
ofthe state and it is quite certain
that the National Association will
give an opportunity equal, if not |
superior, to any other ever afforded |
for disseminating information and |
knowledge relative to the advance |
ment and development of our great
and growing state. We hope, there
fore, to secure the cooperation of all
our superintendents and teachers in
this effort in behalf of enterprise and
education, and shall be glad TO hear
nom you at the earliest practicable
day. Superintendent McElroy |
will likely leave forSan Francisco in
a few days, to formulate further
plans for the attendance of Oregon
teachers.
