There are many live questions to

Teachers, in live, progressive age,
you cannot afford to remain at home
and ignore the Georgia Teachers As
ISOLATION.
This A ssociation has undertaken to
remedy many evils of the present pubs
lie school system of Georgia. There
must be more money appropriated.
Teachers should be paidpromptly when
the work is done, instead of having to
wait twelve months for their pay, thus
lending to the state without interest;
besides being paid as promptly, teach,
ers should be paid as well as officers OF
same ability In other positions OF trust
! and responsibility. A uniform sys-
TEN OF text books for the state, pub
lished by the state, will be brought
before our legislature next summer.
Are not these and many other live
questions, with the exceptionally in
teresting program and deli 1htiul ex-
cursions, enough to enlist your atten,,
ton as well as attendance?
The public school system of Georsi ia
is fixture. The authority for them is
incorporated in our state constitution.
There is no use to fight them, for we
cannot destroy them, hence let us
work together to improve the system.
With a governor and a legislature
friendly to our schools now is the time
to act. We can do mott ing without
organization. BY this means and no
other can we make ourselves heard in
the legislative halls Let us urge
every teacher OF Terrell and surround,
ing counties 10 60 to Brunswick, the
tired teachers Mecca and lend a
devotion and a helping hand to the
cause of education, and thereby gath,
Ell inspiration aud individual profit
tor future work.
Yours fraternally,
W. NJ. ROBINSON.
