ARKANSAS STATE NEWS.

Arkansas State Teachers Association
The next NEE ting of this body will be
held at Dardanelle,- June % 10 %, 1888, and
the time is now at hand when tho pro-
gramme of work for that occas ion shall
be arranged.
In order that the hearty co operation Of
every teacher in the State, whether .
member of the association or not may be
secured, the executive committee sends
out this letter, in recognition of the fact
that, occupying the position that you do,
you will cheerfully lend us your assist
ance in our efforts TO make our next con-
venton grand success.
This position of the teacher of to-day can
not bo an equivocal one; either his efforts
and atm are for the advancement Of his
chosen profession, or else he IS recreant
to the trust he has voluntarily assumed.
If it be necessary that othet professions
must organize, must concentrate their
varied energies in order to bring their
labors TO a successful issue; il il be neces-
sary that they share each others couu-
sells, and be upheld by a spirit OF
fraternity in their varied spheres,
how much more obvious is it
that all tho wisdom of care
full study and observation and ex-
that may be accorded by those who bear
the same weight of responsibility should
be at the teachers command, in order that
his labors, shaping not only the mortal
but the immortal, shall have a rich frui-
tion.
Presuming that we may depend upon
you, as far as may be in your power to
aid us, we ask that you will favor us with
an immediate answer to the following
questions:
Should circums tances permit, will you
be in attendance at the next meeting Of
the association?
1t in the opinion Of the executive COM
mittee your name had best appear on the
programme, will you accept the work,
agreeing to be in attendance, if possible,
prepared on the subject assigned2
Do you prefer to select your own sub
jeci, or will you leave this to the commit
tee?
Free enterta inment will be provided as
far as possible by the citizens of Darda-
nellie, and every effort will be expended
to make opr visit pleasurable as we'll as
profitable.
Reduced rates will be secured, as far as
may be, on the different railroads.
