Estate TEACHERS MEETING.
IT WILL CONVENE HERE ON
ON TUESDAY NIGHT.
All Teachers and Citizens Are In
vited to BE Present at
It's Sessions.

Association begins in this city next
Tuesday evening and from the COM
Imunications received from all parts OF
the State by the local committee OF ar
arrangements, it promises to be a very
large one and a complete success.
| It is expected that all the teachers OF
the city and county will be present TO
welcome the visitors and give the I'M
petus of a successful opening to the
session, but there is something more
needful, and that is that our citizens
should also join in the welcome and ald
it by their presence.
An impression has somehow got
abroad that none but teachers can at
tend the meetings of the association.
This is incorrect, as the sessions are all
open, and the presence OF all
interested in the cause of education
which should include all the inhabitants
of this city, will be welcomed at all the
meetings.
OF course this does not apply to the
reception to the visiting teachers at
the Capitol on Wednesday night, and TO
President Wheeler of the State Unlver-
sity at the Art Gallery on THURSDAY
night, where the attendance will by the
force of circumstances be limited py
admission on invitation, but 1t IS
earnestly desired by the committee that
all citizens who will do so should at
tend on the opening night and during
the daily sessions.
Much benefit should result to those
who do so. The scope Of the teachers

tween the two would be eliminated II
they would meet oftener and better I'M
derstand the work being done by eacn.
Very often the parent objects to the wof
being done in the school when, IL ne
were better acquainted with the system
pursued and the reasons which expe-
rience has given for pursuing it, IN
stead OF being hostile or Indifferent, ne
would throw his influence in the scale
to better the schools and in many cases,
on the other hand. If teachers came
more in contact with the parents, they
would receive suggestions that would
aid them materially in their work. Tne
State Teachers Association has been
formed for the interchange OF IDEAS
among those engaged in training un the
rising generation in the path OF learn
ing and for the betterment and ad-
| yancement Of the system Of education
in our schools. The foremost educators
in our State here meet and compare
notes and discuss matters Of interest In
their chosen profession and the ideas OF
