Audubon county was one of the best
represented counties in the state con-
vention of teachers held at Des Moines,
of any county in the state This
speaks well for the progressiveness of
the teachers OF the county, and too for
her schools. Conventions OF sll kinds
have been one of the strongest factors
in all Professions to keep the followers
abreast of the times. The inclination
of the age is to move fast. The meth
DDS of this year will change in three
years SO that the teacher that keeps up
must use every means to go forward.
The questions discussed at these con-
ventions are the most advanced and
up-to-date theories and those who take
part in the discussions the best of
thinkers. The reports this year show
the meeting to be an enthusiastic one
and the best ever held in the state.
Those from this county are as follows:
Audubon, County Superintendent
Arthur Farguhar, Prof. f. p. Hooker,
Misses Harriet Bilharz, Alta Crow and
Lillian OFT and Mrs. Il. J. Carmichael;
Extra, Prof. J. L. Conger, Mrs. Dena
