Miss Adele Marie Shaw, OF Brooklyn,
whose recent educational articles in
the Worlds Work." have attracted
widespread attention over the coun-
try. and Miss Patty S. Hill. principal
of the Louisville kindergarten Train
ing School.
1t is probable that in addition to
these, Superintendent Gregory, Of
Chelsea, Massachusetts, or Superin-
tendent Hughes, OF Toronto. Canada.
Chancellor Hill. of the University of
Georgia. and Governor Montague. of
Virginia, will also be present.
The sectional meetings. to be held
in the afternoons, will be informal

be very helpful. The Woman's Asso-
citation for the Betterment OF Public

ShaS 20 work with it: Miss Patty S.
Hill will be with the primary teach
ers; Dean Russell will be with the
city superintendents and principals;

the county superintendents. Enough
county superintendent to make good

Ex-Gov. c. B. Aycock. and r. ID. w.
Connor, secretary, will open the edu-
cational campaign which will be con-
tinued throughout the State this sum-
mer and fall. Numerous short ad-
dresses will be delivered by men who
are to take part in the campaign, and
others. An educational conference
will be held to consider our education
al interests. The great educational
rally Of this day will be a most signifi-
cant feature Of the meeting.
AS soon as the changed plan of the
assembly was announced early in the
year. unusual interest was manifested
in the meeting, and this interest has
continued to increase.
The Charlotte city schools have just
made attendance on the assembly
equivalent to attendance on a sum-
mer school. and some of the other
cities Of the State will likely make the
same recognition of the Assembly
within the next few days.
A great many teachers from all
parts of the State has already written
saying that they will be present. and
those who expect to attend and have
not written, should write at once to
the Secretary, Mr.. w. D. Carmichael.
at Durham. 1t is important that this
be done.
The meeting will assuredly be an un.
usual opportunity for the teachers OF
North Carolina. and no progressive
teacher within the borders of the State
can afford TO miss it.
1t seems now that the teachers of
North Carolina will assemble at
Greensboro in the greatest profession
al gathering ever held in a Southern
State. Their deliberations will mean
much to the educational life OF our
commonwealth, and the meeting will
attract attention far beyond the bcr-
Gers Of the State.
