1t is expected that the Waldo Co. Teachers
Association Will meet here sept. 2sth, and
considerable interest has been aroused by
the teachers in this vicinity. For many
years there has been an association of
the teachers of the county, but sometimes
for a long while it was practically dead. 1t
has. however, been recently resurrected and
put upon an advanced plane of usefulness
and very much is now expected of it. In a
general way the association cannot fail to
prove beneficial to the teachers who avail
themselves of this opportunity for mutual
instruction and entertainment. 1t is usually
profitable, as well as pleasant, for people OF
the same avOcaton to meet in social assem-
bly, and general conventions. This is special.
ly true of those who act in the capacity
of instructors of the people, and the school
teachers of the county cannot afford to neg.
lect this opportunity for improvement
Without doubt also those interested in the
education of the young people of the com
munity, and in the general improvement of
the literary standard, of the people, will find
plenty of interest in the regular exercises
of the association. Prominent and talented
people from abroad will be present at the
coming meeting, and it is expected that the
occasion will be made specially interesting
Our able and energetic Superintendent OF
Schools, Mr.. A. B. Stantial, is taking great
interest in this matter and it is hoped the
citizens of Brooks will aid him and the few
teachers in this vicinity to the best of theil
ability. Without doubt they will cheerfully
do so, for that is characteristic of the PEG
Pile of this town.
