EDUCATIONAL MATTERS.
TEACHERS INTERESTED IN MA
TIoNAL ASSOCIATION.
Effort to Secure the Next Annual
Meeting For Salt Lake-Teachers'
Salaries Will Be Paid Today.

DR.. Millspaugh, superintendent of the
city schools, has called a meeting Of
the principals and teachers of the pub
lie schools at the high school building
at 10 o'clock this morning, and ne de-
sires as large an attendance as possible
The principal object of the meeting is
the consideration of matters relating
to the National Educational associa-
ton, which Will meet in Milwaukee
next month, and Dr. MillSpaugh Is very
anxious that there should be a large
representation present from Utah, so
that q strong and united effort may be
made to induce the National Educa-
tional association to select Salt Lake
City as the place for holding the annual
session in 1898. He is enthusiastic on
this subject, and stated to a Herald
reporter yesterday that a press of other
matters had prevented him from giving
it the attention that it deserved, and
that if only three or four representa-
tives from Utah attended the Milwau
kee convention next month the chances
of accomplishing anything towards
bringing this great body of educators
to Salt Lake City next year would be
very slight, but he believed that if the
state were represented by a large dele
CATION, each member of which was de-
termined to do his utmost in advancing
the claims of this city, the result could
be accomplished. He said there was no
doubt that the leading teachers here
are in favor of this move, and it is his
intention to bring the matter before all
the teachers this morning in a forcible
manner and urge upon them the i'm
portance of all attending the Milwau-
kee convention who can possibly do so.
1t is probable that nearly all the teach
ers in the public schools of the city will
attend the meeting at the high school
building in the morning, for in addition
TO the subject which Superintendent
Alillspaugh will bring before them.
Clerk Moreton VIII be present at 10
o clock TO pay salaries to all principals
and teachers, and ne desires the pres
ence of all for this purpose.
An erroneous statement was made
that the teachers would be paid at the
clerks office yesterday. and the conse-
quence was that a large number called
there yesterday TO receive their May
salaries, and it was necessary to in
form them that the payments would
not be made until this morning at the
high school. A number of the teachers
are preparing to spend their vacations
at points outside of the city. They will
take advantage of the special rates Of
fered by the railroad companies, and
some Will go east and others Will go TO
Oregon, Washington and California
Today viii be a great day for the
teachers and school children at Salt
air beach. as the railroads have ar
ranged special excursions, and it is
expected that a very large number will
avail themselves of this opportunity to
visit tine resort, particularly as the
railroads have generously agreed to
give 80 per cent OF their receipts to
the schools, and nearly the same per-
centage will be given from the bathing
receipts.
It is not definitely determined vet
when the schools will reopen. The reg
ular date is the first Monday in Sep
TENDER, but the reopening will depend
largely upon the progress made in the
improvements at the Tenth school, and
the reopening viii be delayed a week
or two if necessary.
