TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.
The Features of tho Meeting to Be Held
at Pasadena.

The Features OF tho Meeting to Be Held
at Pasadena.
In common with the representatives
Of many other interests, the teachers of
California have found that the state is
too large and the expense OF travel too
great to permit them to maintain state
organization that will afford the desired
facilities to the teachers both north and
south.
There is q state association which,
up to q few years ago, held all of its
meetings in the central and northern
part OF the state, at which but few of
the southern teachers were ever present.
For three years in succession the meet
ings were held in the southern end of
the state, and but q handful of teachers
from the north attended. s7
These three sessions of the association
were the most successful that had ever
been held previous to that time, and
having been Sustained almost entirely
by the teachers of the southern coun-
ties, they naturally concluded that they
were strong enough to organize and
maintain an association of their own,
and have acted upon the conclusion.
The state association will meet this
year in Stockton, but the Southern Cal
ifornis association will hold its first reg
ulas session. since its organization. in
Pasadena, commencing on Friday next,
at 10 q. M, ana continuing for two
days.

removed to this city from San Bernar-
dino, will deliver lecture before the
