way and especially so in the addresses
given.
The attendance was all that could be
cared for, as every seat in the large han
was taken. The banquet which was
served under the personal supervision OF
caterers Banspach brothers OF this place
was. of course. the leading feature Of the
evening, for while the members Of this
association do much for the benefit of
all OF this community. are fond OF a
good cuisine. and must have the best
upon these occasions.
The exercises began at 1880. when his
exceIlenoy Governor L. b. G. Garvin,
Lieut. Gov. George H. Utter and Super
intendent OF Schools Walter IL. Small
held a reception in the handsome parlors
Of the Sunset club, In the same building.
At s o'clock, DR. III. E. Windsor, presi-
dent Of the association, escorting the
governor. formed In line and marched
10 the banquet hall, where w. j. Bans
pach. chairman OF the committee. made
n short but pleasing address OF welcome.
and called upon tho Rev. Mr.. Hall OF the
Harris avenues Presbyterian church TO
offer blessing.
Then came the onslaught Of the many
TO turn. An hour or more was spent
at the festive board. after which Mr..
Banspach introduced as the toastmaster

them IN the work OF the association and
the honor conferred upon him.

the political conditions Of state and mu
nicipal government. lie was followed by
the Hon. George IL Utter, who had for
his subject 1.-The Press and Its Relation
to Business" which was fun of good COM
mon sense and no end OF wit. The
diners spent much of the time while he
was talking In laughing and applauulng
and at the close prolonged applause fol.
lowed.
Mr.. Small was, In the minds OF many.
the most forcible speaker. his address
being on "rhe Business Man and the
School" He used plain language and
told his hearers that none OF them paid
the attention to school matters that they
should and that they should see TO IL
that their school buildings and methods
should be much up TO date as those
Of the up date business man.
He also said that teachers were not
results were not obtained.
That there should be more men teach
ers and that these men teachers should
be manly men-in fact, have good red
blood In their veins. which some termed
sporting blood" This class OF men, he
said. should be engaged TO teach boys be-
tween the ages of 13 and Is. for. said he.
a woman teacher cannot handle them.
Excellent men teachers could not be had
for the sum of 5000 a year.
He also told the audience that the pub
lic and the school men were not in SO
close a touch as they should be, and that
