MEETING OF SOUTHWESTERN TEACHERS
ASSOCIATION.

The seventh annual session of the South
western Kansas Teachers association
which convenes Thursday next at the
Lewis academy promises to be largely at
tended. 1t will be remembered that last
year the attendance was over 100 and the
people of the city were out in full force
! lending courage and enthusiasm to the as
ISOLATION. 1t is expected to have some
members of the State university faculty
present, as well as representatives from
| the State Normal school and the Agricul-
! tural college Some of the leading edu-
Gators of the state have promised to be
present and they no doubt will lend TO
| the association program the usual
] amount of enthusiasm IN educational
work. The secretary of the association,
! Mrs. Julia A. Cation, of Winfield, writes
| that she is having many inquiries about
| the meeting and the indica ions are on
every hand that the session will be one of
the largest in numbers ever held by the
| association. 1t may be recalled that the
state is divided into four associations,
which hold annual meetings at the same
time, and they have been in the habit of
sending TO each other congratulations and
/ the number in attendance. The last two
meetings the southwest has had
the largest attendance and hence it
is concluded IS taking more interest
in educ onal work than the northwest
and no one would doubt but that the
southwest takes more interest in such
matters than the eastern part of the state
that has the shadow of Missouri on it all
the forenoon.
The local reception committee that will
give attention to the visitors, doing all in
their power to meet every demand for
comfort. consists of \. l.. Alexander, of
Valley Center, president of the county
association; II. l.. McMichael, L. B.
Knight, L. S. Bailey, r. w. Craig, Misses
Lizzie Dickinson, Jennie Cleveland, Re
becca Amidon, Josie Milan.
The executive committee consisting of
d. 5. Pence, w. y. Rice of Winfield, and
L. Tomlin of Wellington. have succeeded
in getting a reduced rate on the railroads
for all teachers who desire TO attend. The
rate will be one and one-third fare for the
round trip, to all teachers who will make
themselves known TO the secretary Of the
association on arriving. This will no
doubt very materially increase the attend
ance, which offers chance for change
in the direction of recreation at a small
expense.
