The North Carolina Teachers Assembly.
Biblical Recorder.I
This institution is we'll known to
North Carolina people. Its short
history has been most creditable.
On account of unfortunate circum-
stances and shrewd rival, it suffer
ed some harm few years ago; but
now it is now we'll on it's feet and in
the blush of most happy promises.
Since it was re-organized two years
ago, with Mr.. Charles J. Parker, of
this city as Secretary, 1t has received
the loyal support of most Of the
teachers, certainly the rank and file
of the State. Its last session was
one Of the most successful in its his
tory This year it is proposed to
carry it higher in the regard of the
important class Of workers it seeks
to aid; to not only gather them to-
gether at a popular recreation re-
sort, for mutual conference and gen
eral lectures, but also to give the
meeting more of the professional
spirit. If its purposes were none
other than to gather the teachers to-
gether for conservation Of their in
fuence and for conferences and rec
reation, these would amply justify
it's existence. But when to these are
added the opportunity of profession.
al training under the direction oi
foremost educators, no teacher can
longer afford not to take advantage
of it. This year the Assembly al
Morehead will take this forward
step. 1t will last ten days. The
first of each days session will be
wholly devoted to professional worl
designed to cover all the branches
that concern our teachers; the latter
part will be devoted to addre sses OF
topics of general and semi-profes
sional interest. OF course those wht
attend cannot resist the natural ben
efits of summer trip, of meeting
fellow teachers and CT refreshing
pleasures that have heretofore mad

ished. We are glad the Assembl.

ing nothing about the natural advan-

when we were prepared to offer the
