During the next ak weeks many of
the progressive educators OF Virginia
will be planning how they may attend
the meeting of this body to be held at
Buffalo, N. Y, July 3-11. Those who
can go have great treat In store for
them in the varied and practical pro-
Eramme that has been provided.
The greatest educational minds OF
this country will take parts in the dis
cussions and the experience will be
almost an education in itself. After q
teacher has had home training and a
few years Of practical experience In
teaching be- is very wise to take the
broader View that q meeting Of this
kind affords. At Buffalo he will have
his conceptions of the inter- relations OF
his own duties and of their outward re-
lations to other lines of work and other
grades Of schools expanded and made
definite. He will listen to great
thinkers speak publicly and will con-
verse with the best teachers Of the land
privately and the result will be that he
will get information and courage,
whereby he may attempts yet greater
things for his native State.
On the programme we note o large
number OF live and prscticAl subjects in
literature, nature study, natural
science, psychology. sociology, art, music,
etc. These will be treated in their re.
lations TO kindergarten education, to
elementary and high school work, to
college and university efforts and
ideals. So she wide.xwske college and
| university professor will be thsre along
with his more humble brother, the sue.
seasful common school teacher, the lat
ter getting ready to take the formers
place when there shall be need.
Buffalo has good hotels whore moder-
ate rates will be given teschers, and
some Of the best private homes O. the
city will be open on this special ocos on
at still lower rates. The railroads have
also named low fares.
Buffalo is in the centre of some of
natures most wonderful scenery, and
cheap excursions will be formed after
the meeting to Chnutauqua, to the lakes
and mountains of New York, to Canada.
