To Teachers and Friends
OF the German Language.

You are cordially invited to join the
National German. American Teachers
Association. The aims of this asso-
citation are as follows: To strive for
the advancement of education in
America. To foster the study of Ger
man in our elementary schools, as
well as in our higher institutions. To
enable efficient teachers to find
sphere of activity commensurate with
their merits. To train capable lead
ers, who will exercise a creative and
directive influence upon the future of
this continent.
The new official organ will lay
special stress upon the educational
value of the German language, and
will contend for the study of German
as an integral factor in the intellectual
development of the American people.
Contributions have been promised by
many Of our ablest educators. In
order that full justice may be done to
the teachers in the various grades, it
is proposed to divide the periodical
into two departments. One of these
is to be devoted to elementary teach
ing, the other 10 higher education.
Teachers and friends of the Ger.
man language, including editors and
members Of school boards, are eligible
to membership in the association and
are hereby requested to attend its
meetings. The goth annual conven-
ton will be held in Philadelphia, early
in July, 1900. A comprehensive pro-
gramme is planned, in which the
special interests of teachers in our
elementary schools, public and private
| high schools, colleges and universities
will be duly regarded.
The secretary solicits the name of
teachers and others who may be inter-
ested in the work Of this association.
