THE TEACHERS GUILD.

About $3.50 Realized From the Recent
tainment-Hartford to Give the
Fund a Lift.
AS near as can now be estimated the
fund of the Connecticut Teachers guild
will realize about $3.50 net profit from
the recent entertainments given in this
city under the direction of Professor
Jepson. The fund now amounts to
about $4,000, and there are 700 mem
bers of the association. 1t is hoped to
increase this fund to about 100000,
Hartford high school is planning to
give an entertainment in that city at
an early date for the benefit of the
fund. All the teachers, members of
the guild, contribute yearly percent
age of their salaries to increase the
fund.
The following has been issued by
Professor Jepson:
