Eeachers' Association, and the pro-
gramme Of exercises prepared Tor the
annual session Of the association,
which meets at Butte on Wednesday
December 26th, and continues for four
days:
THE GREETING.
We do not deem II necessary at this
late day to enter upon any discussion
to convince the teachers Of this terri
tory that they should attend the insti.
tute. The general enlightenment Of
the people, and especially Of teachers,
recognizes the institute ss an indis-
pensible factor in promoting and keep.
ing active the school interests Of our
territory. These meetings are for all
the teachers, and no teacher can afford
to deprive himself Of the benefit Of the
stimulus . good institute gives, not
only in routine work OF the session,
but pre-eminently In the social con-
tact Of teacher with teacher, when the
chief topic Of thought, conversation
and discussion 10 on the various phases
Of our school work.
How can we make our schools more
attractive and of more value?
We believe our schools are doing
better work from year TO year, and we
attribute much Of this progress to the
fact that our teachers for the most part
are anxious to improve in methods,
and to keep up with the times, and in
no way is this manifested more GER
tsinly than in their willingness, and
even esgerness, 10 secure all the good
they can from the Institute.
Hence we hope our institute may be
we'll attended.
We ask all teachers of the territory,
who expect to teach, to cooperate
with us in the work Of this Institute,
to the end that our mutual labors may
advance the school interests Of this
territory, and make our schools better
this coming year than they have been
before. Very cordially yours,
MARY II. LAvToN,
