profitable program has been arranged.

the purpose of effecting a closer and
more complete organization of County

portunity of comforting together about
our common problems and of talking
over together in an informal CONVEX
sational way our experiences and diff
ficulties and of getting from each
other many valuable and helpful sug
gestions about the business details of
our work.
Il am satisfied that whatever educa-
tional progress has been made in this
State during the past three years has
been largely due to the increased in
terest and effort, cooperation, organ
ization, conferences and interchange
of helpful suggestions of the County
superintendent, who are and must
be the leaders and promoters of all
educational progress in their various
counties. Realizing the value and
necessity of the work of those District
Associations and that the work will
be in large measure a failure unless
all or most of the county superintend-
entS attend. / write to urge you to
attend this meeting unless providen-
tally hindered, even if your attend
ance requires some sacrifice of con-
venience time and money"
