The following letter from Hon
Thomas T. lyman, state superintendent
OF public instruction, dated at Chcy
enne, May 4, and addressed to Mrs

dent of schools. in this city. will be OF
interest at this time:
The National Educational assoCiu
ton will meet in convention on June
I2S-July l at St. Louis. Wyoming da5
will be July II. There is no question
but what a number of the teachers OF
the state will expect to visit the fair
some time during the year. and as
special rates are given to those obtain.
ed at any other time, no doubt they
will wish to attend during this conven,
|tion. l wish you would ascertain, II
possible, the number of teachers in
your county that expect to go at that
time and report to me. My reason for
asking for this information Is tina, /
wish to take up the matter of trans
portation by special train, and if wc
are assured that a sufficient number
will go, it is possible for us to great.
ly curtail the expenses of a trip OF this
kind, if we can arrange satisfactorily
with the railroads for cars or special
train.
81 might also say that by transport
ing the teachers in a body, plans may
be laid for the formation of a State
Teachers association. 1t will also
bring the teachers together. which
will add very much to their social well
fare. l hope you will give this your
first and Immediate attention"
Mrs. Bellamy has asked The Repub-
lican to lay stress upon the Importance
of an early attention on the part Of the
teachers Of the schools Of the coun-
ty to the exhibits to be made by their
respective schools for Tie display the
University Of Wyoming is arranging.
These exhibits. she suggests. should
be sent direct to the officers Of the
university. There they will be arrang-
ed, and some of them will be retained
and sent to the industrial convention
at Casper and also placed on exhibit
ton at the annual fair to be held by
the Albany county and lnter-Moun-
tain Fair association in this city on
the 18th, 9Th and 9th of September.
Each teacher has been supplied with
a circular setting forth the needs for
this exhibit, and Mrs. Bellamy sug-
gests that they be urged to get them
in shape and send them at once to the
university. This display should place
Albany county well in front In both
the exhibition at the university and at
the Casper convention.

meeting of the electors in the differ
ent districts Of the county have been
received by Mrs. Bellamy and placed
