Supt. D. Matt Thompson. "This has
fitable meeting of the Teachers Assem-

best all-ro,lnd sessions he has ever at

time. with possibly one exception.
Prof. Robert l.. Madison, THE Teach
ers' Assembly. with its session just
closed. has taken new lease of life.
From beginning, to end it was most
gratifying success. surprising in many
respects all previous meetings. 1t takes
no prophet now to declare, under the
present suspicious conditions brought
about by the able management, that
this educational body will move grandly
onward to ever increasing usefulness.
