Teachers of every degree, famous and OBJ
scure, young and old, some from the
halls of universities, many from the little
red schoolhouses on the crossroads in the
back townships. but all moved with the
same electric enthusiasm and fervor for
their work, came together last night in
Masonic Hall at the first session of the
forty-ninth annual meeting of the Indiana
State Teachers Association. By actual
registration there are 1000 pedagogues in
the city attending the meeting of the asso-
citation and more than half of them were
present last night to hear the magnificent
address of President c. A. Prosser, of New
Albany, and to help guide the association
in the routine of business.
The meeting is undoubtedly the largest
in many years and bids fair to be the most
satisfactory. The retiring president. H.
B. Brown, president of Valparaiso Col
School, voiced the general feeling in his
xha
dent and bidding his own farewell. Mr..
Brown said:
"This has been a most successful year
of school work and think all of US come
here filled with inspiration because Of the
success of the past twelve months. There
has been great prosperity and that prosper
ity is on the increase We have every rea-
son to be proud of our profession and of

new friendships, to receive inspiration and
to pledge anew our loyalty, not only to
