FLORIDA TEACHERS CONVENTION
One of the Best That Was Ever Held
i'm the state.

IN the STATE
ocala, Fla. Jan. 1.-The State Teachers
Association of Florida convention was
great success. 1t is conceded by the 400
teachers in attendance at this association
meeting that it was the most successful
ever held in the state in amount of work
done for the cause of education. DIR.
Boone, the great educator and lecturer,
remarked to the teachers In taking his
leave for his home, that in fifteen years
experience and in travelling through TWEEN
ty states on similar one to that he was
engaged in here, he had never met teach
ers who seemed to respond so readily to
the suggestions of his talks and absorb
their striking features.
The Teachers Association demonstrated
one thing. that it was not difficult to
get into debt. Their expenses were $9OS.65
and their receipts s26S. 30. How to raise
this deficit proved quite an amusing dis
cussion. "A passing around the hat pro-
cess was naturally suggested, but it met
with no favor and was voted down, and
the debt was left for the association to
settle at it's next meeting. The discussion
revealed the fact that out of the 400 teach
ers present only a fraction over a half of
them paid their 81 dues. State Superin-
tendent Sheats suggested that the assoc
citation take steps to preserve the papers
read before them in pamphlet form. in

which would be Of great interest to the
teachers afterwards.
The expense attached to DIR. Broone's
lectures was $50 for his talks, $122 for trav-
cling expenses.
Gen. Gordon received for his lecture
$142.50.

The Railway Age has issued an inter-
esting report of the general condition of
the railroad business of the country that
leaves the impression after it's perusal
that the year 1896 was one of disappont-
ment and losses. This was true of all
business, and necessarily of the railways
as their prosperity is dependent upon that
OF the country generally. The promise of
increased earnings, given early in the
year, met with no fulflment, with the re-
suit that many companies that made nor
NAL business conditions, would have cas-
lily met their obligation, were forced into
the hands Of receivers. The number of
these roads that reverted to the courts
last year was thirty-four, an increase of
three over those that took the same course
in the year previous. table showing
the number of receiverships that have
been given the railroads in the last thir-
teen years will be interesting:
