Come to it. Most of you do. Listen to the various papers read. Most of you do this also; but there is more than this necessary to make our association a success. We need your ex- perience, your questions, your difficulties, and your successes. Bring with you any questions that have puzzled you and put them in the Question Box and then stand ready to answer the question of some other teacher on some question that is clear toyou but dark to the uuestioner. Do not come to our meet ing thinking you have no part in 1t, but come with the feeling that 1t Is yours as much as it is any ones. Come, not to criticize others, but to help and be helped. Come. expecting to take something good home with you and you will be sure to do it. And now once more, fellow teacher, I urge you. if you know of anything you would like to hear or of any thing that would be ofgood to the association, please communicate with it's president, Prin- cipai J. D. Bartley, Bridgeport Conn. and he win be only too happy to give it his personal care and attention. Let us combine and have the best association we have ever had--GOne of the executive committed of Fairfield County Teachers Association.

as they are enabled to compete with Bridgeport and other towns for trade along the Housatonic, which is now easily accessible over the extension. Some even claim that they have secured custom which formerly went to Bridge port. They thank the extension for this. On the other hand, Bridgeport reporters find lots of wholesalers who declare that their Housatonic trade was never larger and that the extension does not at all diminish their profit.
 The BEE knows of several cases where dealers along the Housatonic purchase goods in New Haven ill preference to Bridgeport. but it is equally positive that the Park City receives fully as much trade from the valley as ever. The extension not only brings New Haven and the lower Naugatuck valley people and products to us by quicker, cheaper and more direct route, but opens up new fields for trade and manufact- ure. Long may it extend
