TEACHERS MEET AT BOISE
ANNUAL SESSION OF STATE AS
ISOLATION BEGUN.
Address of Welcome Delivered By
Miss Permeal French, State Super
intendent of Schools.
fspecial to The Herald.l

Boise, Ida, Dec. 27.-The State
Teachers association began its session
in Sonna's Opera House this evening,
superintendent of the Boise schools. A
large crowd of ladies and gentlemen
witnessed the opening exercises, which
consisted of fine musical programme
and addresses from leading educators.
State Superintendent Miss Permeal
French delivered an address of well
come. Her delivery was good and her
remarks provoked much applause.
Among other things Miss French said:
In the great body of human industry
the function of teacher is a most deli
cate and important one, for whatever
may be the trend of events in a pro-
gressive nation, the movement is into
the future and the lords of the future
are the children of the present. In the
schools of today, especially in primary
schools, are being sown the seeds of
future greatness or fluent sloth. seeds
of the future life of one of the greatest
nations on earth. 81.
In this spirit We welcome you, teach
ers of our land. Accept our warsnest
greetings. mot, however. for the we'll
being of the state of Idaho alone do we
deliberate today, though truly our state
deserves our reverence, for it stands
among the few who, recognizing great
principles of nature that a free and en-
lightened people must spring from free
and enlightened mothers, have dared to
set aside the greatest barrier to human
progress and to acknowledge their
women to be equals of their men.
1T is grand to feel ones self living
part of a great movement for the up
lifting Of mankind. One teacher who
is earnestly striving to accomplish the
best may well expect a high place
among the worlds workers.
Responses to this address were made
by Professor Bianton. Mrs. Krelsch and
Mayor Richards. Indications are that
the session will be most profitable and
spirited.
