The tenth annual session of the South
eastern Iowa Teachers Association, will |
be held at Muscatine, Iowa, March 81,
April and 2, 1904. An interesting pro-
gram has been prepared and will be
issued in few days. The Round Table
meetings will be held on Thursday after
noon at o'clock, and the Section meet
ings on Friday afternoon at 1880 o'clock.
Good programs have been prepared for
each afternoon and very profitable meet
ing may be expected. These sessions
are always practical and helpful and it
is hoped that the teachers Of this Sec
ton of the state will be present in
large numbers for the Round Table
meetings Thursday afternoon and re-
main until the close of the session.
The program of the General Associa-
tion opens Thursday evening.
Supt. 4. G.. Cooley of the Chicago
schools, will deliver the principal ad-
dress of the evening. Mr.. Cooley is
one of the strongest school men Of the
country and has been much in the public
eye in the past few years. He will dis
cuss "Some Problems in School Super
vision"
DR.. Preston w. Search Of Worcester,
Mass, has been engaged for three adj
dresses. In presenting DR.. Search we
feel very confident that all who hear
him will be delighted with his work,
and will carry with them many helpful
suggestions. But this is not all; DR.. W..

ton, will be with us and address the
association on Friday morning. His
subject is Common Sense in School
management" On Friday evening DR.. W..

the Public Schools DIR. Sheldon has
spent eighteen years in st. Louis in var
ious kinds of educational work, and for
the past ten or fifteen years has been
working out scheme for the ethical
instruction Of the young in the graded
course.
With the above array of talent from
outside the state, and with the strong
local talent to appear on the various pro-

possibly can do so to attend this meet
ing. The Saturday morning session will
be conducted entirely by home talent.
Hon. John f. Riggs, Superintendent Of
Public Instruction, will deliver an adj
dress, which will be followed by eight
or ten other leading educators OF the
state under the general topic "Hot Shot

sort of free lance hour which you can
not afford to miss.
Good music has been provided for all
the sessions. The executive committee
feels assured that Muscatine is an ideal
city for meeting of this kind. The
b meeting places are all within radius
Of two blocks. Good accommodations il
