In st. Paul within the next few days q
greater number of school teachers than
has ever been seen in one city at one
They are arriving on every train from
the South, East and West, and the
hotels are filling up rapidly with the
expected and preparation guests.
Those from the South, having arrived in
st. Paul just as the spell of hot weather
had reached its end, are loud in express
ing their convictions that the North is
always cold, "and," remarked one
little Charleston girl, 'if it is like this
in summer what must it be in winter"
The spectacle of half a hundred women
marching to and from the dining room
of st. Paul hotel, with fur wraps
about their shoulders in the month OF
July, and faces blue with cold, is
an unusual one, although it must be adj
mitted that the atmosphere of the past
few days has been all too chilly for the
season. Sergeant Lyons, of the weather
bureau, says that within the next forty
eight hours the SOutheTnerS will have
shed their furs for the lighteSt summer
lingerie to be found in the receSseS of
their respective WardrObeS, and then
these men and maidenS from the cotton
country will have the laugh on the ma
tives; for, while the latter are persplr-
ing and gazing anXiOuSly at the Their
mOmeter, the former, to whom the heat
is perfectly natural, will remain cool
and calm.
Every hotel register in the city bears
the names of a proportion of the teach
ers and members of the national coun-
Gil and those of the educational assOcia-
ton who have already arrived. No cor
rect estimate can be formed, however,
of the number already in st. Paul from
the hotel registers alone. Most of the
lady teachers particularly prefer private
houses to hotels and home comforts to
those of public house. These are all
provided for, and at least 1000 of the
entire number of visitors expected are
to be entertained at private houses of
the city. The method of registering
the arrivals thus far In the Endicott
block is defective one in that there is
no classification by states, as there
should be. Assurance is given, how
ever, that on Monday each state will
have its own register at its own par
ticular headquarters, as follows: Mime
sofa, Parlor l, Hotel Ryan; Kansas, city
hall, Court Room No.2; missouri, city hall.
Court Room No. 5; Southern states, city
hall, Court Room No. 8; Colorado, city
hail. Court Room No. 8; Ohio, Clarendon
hotel; Wisconsin, Windsor hotel; Iowa,
Hotel Ryan, parlor B. When the sys-
TEN of state registration has been got
into working order it will be an easy
matter to find any person sought from
either of the states, quest of the kind
under the present system of indiscrimi-
nate registration being almost hopeless.
Although the hotels are even now al
most filled with guests, it is ascertained
that but comparatively few OF the teach
erS have arrived The Rochester, N.
Y, delegation came in on the Kansas
atty train last evening, and the men,
Gers are at the Ryan temporarily. On
Nonday evening the Burlington train OF
ten coaches will bring the Indiana,
Ohio, and Pennsylvania delegations.
while another train over the same road
in two sections will arrive Tuesday
morning with the illinois and Southern
people. A Milwaukee special train on
Monday morning will bring ten car
loads of teachers fram Michigan, and
an Omaha special few hours later
Will bring those from the Eastern states,
Delaware and Maryland, A special
ever the Milwaukee last night
drought 400 ladies and gentlemen from
Chicago, and several hundred are ex-
pected on the regular trains to-day.
Secretary Sherin expresses hope that
business men of the city will realize the
enormous amount of work to be done al
headQual tiers and allow some assistance
by their employees in assigning the null
Situde to their respective places. Com
mittees are to be sent out to meet the
different trains arriving on Monday and
Tuesday.
Among the visitors are men and
Women famous for their prominence in
Che educational world. Or some of
those who have arrived the GLOBE pre-
sents short biographical sketches which
show something of the life work of each
and give an outline of the characters
tics which have fitted them for the posi-
tons in science, literature and educa-
tional circles to which they have at
tanned.
