SECRETARY'S REPORT.


To the Officers and Members of the
Teachers Mutual BENEFIT Association:
Dear Friends: 1t is with profound feel
ings of pleasure your secretary records
today the fifth anniversary OF the Teach
ers' Mutual Benefit association of the
city of Scranton, whose duration many
predicted would be short, but whose
strength is now greater than at any time
during its history. and judging from the
number of recent applications promises
to flourish. The important subjects dis
cussed during the year, outside of those
pertaining to the treasury are few. First,
the summer excursion; second, estab-
fishing a fixed time for the payment of
dues; third, preparing a scheme for adj
vertising our society. showing the dues
per month on the different salaries, and
the amount of benefits paid since Or
ganization; fourth, amending the con-
stitution SO as to make the society re-
sponsible for death benefits. and also
paying teachers who are absent from
school on account of contagious disease
in the household where he or she re-
sides. All have been satisfactorily dis
posed of. excepting the third. which is
still under consideration.
The excursion to Harvey's lake was
all that could be desired socially, and
reflected great credit on the manage
ment Dues must be paid before l2
O'Clock moom on the third Saturday of
each month. otherwise the member is in
arrears. The paying Of SO in case of
the death of n member and go per cent.
salary in case of absence through con-
tagious disease. bids fair to be q means
of increasing the membership. If teach
ers who are not members were to think
more seriously of the object of this as
sociation, so well told in its title, and
the advantages which could be gained by
all banding together, there would not be
a teacher in the city but would enroll.
for 1t Is evident that benefits in case OF
illness or other disability are not the
only benefits which might be derived. I'm
union there is strength
Again, when We consider the cost OF
membership Is but ! per cent. Of salary,
mere trife, and what good our mite
each month may do some fellow-teach
who is not as fortunate as ourselves In
the possession of health. the spirit OF
goodwill. II no other motive. should
prompt all to belong. Many wish to join
but seem to lack the will to enforce the
wish. Dr. Weaver says: "Good wishes
are like good plows. which stand still in
the furrow till some force is added to
push them through the resisting SOIL
The truest part of genuine goodness is
the will that makes 1t active. but the
divinest part Is that which puts 1t on its
feet, and sends 1t with helping hand on
missions of mercy,
