of our State comprise the Assembly |
proper, and they all feel that they
cannot afford to be absent at this
joyous gathering of the brother
hood of education.
In the early days of the history
of the Assembly the happy idea of
bringing together in delightful
annual meeting both "the teacher,
the pupil and the patron" was en-
bodied in the constitution of the
organization, and thus the public.
comprising all friends Of education,
are permitted to attend the AS
sembly session, and to enjoy all
its special privileges on the same
terms as are given to actual teach
ers. This has caused thousands of
persons who are not teachers to at
tend the Assembly every year and
enjoy the occasion exclusively, and
this social commingling of tea chers
and the public generally, has been
of untold benefit to every e1uca-
tional interest of the State.
The approaching session in June
promises to be even more interest
ing and valuable than any preced-
ing meeting. The Executive Com
mittee has prepared a most admir-
able programme which includes a
number of new and valuable feat
ures. There will be special days
for distinctive work relating to
public Schools, High Schools, "
"Private Schools" "Colleges,"
County Superintendents," "The
Press" and "The People" There
will be an 'Oratorical Con-
test" between the male COL
eyes, and emusic" and "Reci-
tation" contests between the pupils
of the institutions for girls. A num-
Der of pupils have already entered
their names in each of the contests
and the occasions will be intensely
interesting both to participants ano
spectators.
Another specially valuable depart
ment will be the work in Physica

accomplishment. Her private lee

The work of the Teachers Burea
is particularly valuable to member

ciative communities. Principals an
