On May 5. 0 and Z the teachers oil
Mississippi met in convention at Meri.

meeting of the State Association Of

the attendance was over 600. The Ma.
con Graded and High School was repre-.
sented by the principal. s. P, Walker,
and Misses Lauderdale, Griggs, Angus.
tus. Brewer. Cline and Faust. and this
was the fullest representation and We
think the best Of any school outside Of
Meridian, which was represented by all
its teachers.
The progressive school boards Of the
State have shown a commendable spirit
in granting leaves Of absence to their
teachers to take advantage Of these an.
nual gat rings. and the large atten-
dance on these occasions is sufficient
proof OF the teachers appreciation Of
the opportunity. Much enthusiasm 10
created by the assembling Of minds OF
the same persuasion and the interchange
of views and discussion of educational
topics give permanent benefit.
Each meeting has a fixed program Of
procedure and at the present meeting
nearly every body who had been assigned
for certain work responded. Some OK.

The city OF Meridian is to be congrat-

At the meeting held in the office OF
the Advocate the following officers wer>

The splendid report of DR.. Ivey showed
that the circulation has passed beyond
