In regard to the meeting Of the
4 Southwestern Iowa Teachers Associa-
| ton in this city, State Superintendent
| of Public Instruction Richard c. Bar
rett has issued the following letter to
the county superintendent and board
i of directors:
! No effort has been spared by the ex-
ecutive committee having in charge the
publication of the program for the an
nual meeting this year.
Talent of the highest order has been
secured No progressive teacher can
afford to remain away from such a
great annual gathering. Experience
teaches that those who attend these
annual gatherings return to their work
with greater zeal and inspiration alike
helpful to both the teacher and pupil
during the entire. year.
1t is hoped that boards of directors
will not only permit, but will insist
that their teachers attend. Council
Bluns,which has so royalty entertained
the association in other years. has
again been chosen as the place of meet
ing. All will be made thrice welcome.
I earnestly urge that every school
corporation so far as possible be repre-
scented by patrons, officers and teachers.
