Public Schools

The second annual meeting of the
Woman's Association for the Better
ment of Public Schools in North
Carolina will be held in the library OF
the Agricultural and Mechanical Col

20-21.
1t is earnestly desired that all the
officers will be present This has been
a very successful year. The requests
from so many counties asking us TIC
help them organize associations, the
magnificent educational spirit that is
so noticeable in every section of the
State, the readiness with which the
counties organize and the teachers GO
to work to make it imperative upon
every member to make the State or
ganiZation strong enough to push the
work into every county
Over sixty counties have been ben
Gifted. We must find a way to go in
to the other thirty-seven. Five thous-
and districts are begging for ltera-
ture; we must organize these districts
and furnish the literature. AS MANY
district would improve their school
grounds, would plant flowers and
trees. if they were but encouraged, as
many school houses could be made
neat and attractive, if the organization
were carried into each county. 1t has
been carried into more than half the
counties in the State with such graf
flying results as the reports from the
different counties will show. 1t is our
purpose to discuss these very practical
questions, to receive the reports of
what has been done and to organize
for a still greater work next year.
We expect a large attendance this
year. There are attending the Sum-
mer School at Raleigh about 700
teachers, and no finer opportunity has
ever been presented for organizing for
splendid years work The authori-
ties of the Summer School will pro-
vide every convenience for the asso-
citation and will give us a hearty well
come.
The Summer School rates will be
obtained for the association.
