is an immensely beneficial enterprise

been coupled with the order that the
decision Of this important matter must
be left for congress. After years, in
which the question has been treated in

obtain practical and positive results.
It has been our indisputable triumph

One year ago at the State Educa-

larly so the last few days of the

yond one day.
The laws of the state recognize
meeting of the county directors,
authorizing the county superinten-
dents to call the directors together
at least once year to discuss topics
of interest pertaining to the educa-
tioral welfare Of their county. 1t has
been my good fortune to attend a
large number Of these gatherings dur
ing the past year, and ! know that
great good is being accomplished
through this means. l believe that
great good can be accomplished
through the medium of the state as
sOciation of school directors. there
fore urge upon all school boards the
necessity Of giving this association
hearty support, and hope that each
school board will feel disposed to
send a delegate to this meeting and
help make it the factor which it
ought to be in our state.
There can be no question but tha.
body Of business men who are in
terested in school administration can
have great influence upon matters
OF legislation affecting the public
schools Of our state. and the state
association is the medium through
which these things may be made ef-
