conventions it has entertained, and the
necessity of little eXertion is self
evident. The most important com
mttee work. at present, is that IN
charge of the hotels and entertainments.
and the following appeal should be read
carefully: The committee on hotels
and entertainments of the National
Educational association, which is to
meet in st. Paul from July to IL
next, wishes to cali the attention of the
people of st. Paul to the Importance OF
this convention. and the necessity for
providing accommodations for the visit
Ors who Will attend, about $1,000 in all.
In only one way can these accmodatlons
be provided, and that is by the peo-
pie of st. Paul opening their
homes for the short duration OF the
convention, five days, even at personal
inconvenience to themselves. The
hotels of the city are utterly inadequate
to entertain any such number OF per
sons, and the total number they can
provide accommodations for will not
exceed 1900. leaving over $1,000 visitors
to be housed. We earnestly solicit the
cooperation of every householder i'll
st. Paul and, with view to obtaining
the accommodations desired, competent
solicitors will start on Monday next to
make a thorough canvass of the city,
and the committee trusts that every one
who can possibly spare any accommo-
dations at the time desired, will so state
to the solicitors OF the committee.
The committee wishes it particularly
understood that in all instances the
person providing accommodations will
make charge for the same, even If the
amount stipulated is nominal, as the
visitors all wish to pay for their accom-
modations.
This appeal to the h0usholderS would
not be made could the city afford the
necessary hotel accommodations. and 1t
is to be hoped, therefore, that the citi-
zens of st. Paul will respond to this
call. and throw open their houses to the
visitors. and do their part towards max
ing a success of the convention. The
members of the committee have been
making a personal canvass, with the
results appended below, and in addition
to soliciting, have each and all agreed
to entertaing some Of the visitors at
their homes. In this way accommoda-
tons have already been provided for
about 1000 visitors. 1t is earnestly
hoped that their example, and that of
their friends. will induce others to
afford equal aid towards making sue
cess of the meeting. 1t is further re-
Ouested that should any of the citizens
intend entertaining friends who will
attend the convention, they will notify
the committee of the fact, giving the
names and addresses of their guests.
Kindly address all communications or
inquiries in reference thereto to Will
lam Henry Patterson, chairman; or
Nicholas Dunn, secretary cOmmitte on
hotels and entertainment, or to any of
the members of the committee. The
following are the members OF
