I OF the state urging them to see that all

I this is letter from State Superintendent
Nelson asking the superintendent TO sug-

salary be granted to the teachers who
shall attend the convention. This is a
matter which has stirred the educational
interests OF the state for some years. but

overcome the success Of the State Teach
ers association is not assured. In the
states where educational work is most
/ progressive the teachers salaries con-
tinue through all institute work.
