TRENTON, Dec. 10. 19O5.--The Off
GERS Of the New Jersey State Teachers
Association have completed plans of the
fifty-6rst annual meeting of the organiza-
ton, which is to- be held Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday Of next week at
Atlantic City.
The most important subject to be eon-
sidered viii relate to the State Teachers
Retirement Fund There has been on
foot an effort to place this fund under
The fostering care of the State, but no
success has attended the plan and for
several years the institution has been a
source of lively disputes at the annual
meetings of the teachers. Last year it:
was made the occasion for bitter attack
on Governor Murphy and other State Of
fcials. There seems at this time to be
a general desire to have the fund more
thoroughly under the control Of the as
sociation that it may not monopol.ze the
attention of the teachers of the State
and be to the detriment of the association
proper.
The first session will open at 2 o'clock
Wednesday in the High School building.
