And such concern would seem to be
not without warrant, for there is proof
enough that the State appreciates the
privilege Of entertaining this earnest
body of men and women, whose de-
clared purpose Is to elevate the char
acter and advance the interests of the
profession OF teaching and to promote

Why even the pupils in our city
schools have part to play for two
splendid choruses, planned by Miss Es-
telle Carpenter, supervisor of music
will give six thousand children an op-
portunity to sing their pleasure.
However will you keep them to-
gether in vaeation?" / ask this most
enthusiastic of teachers.
The children love it, she assures
me. They don't feel the rehearsals
are tiresome and in the concerts, the
actual singing part, they have the
keenest delight. Besides, they feel it
an honor to be chosen, for they know
we select only the sweetest voices, and
1 think we shall have no trouble in
getting the number 1t is the first week
after the close of school, and when the

I'VE shall have three thousand voices

festival last year; three times as many
as ever before sang for an assembly

bers as a body. There were no Depart
ments for the study of special subjects
and the matters considered had to do
almost wholly, with means and methods
in the actual work of teaching
But in 1870 the absorption of the Amer
lean Normal School Association and the
National Association of School Superin-
tendents by the n. T. A, which under
went reorganization to become the n. E.
A, wrought many and important changes.
With the increase of members it be-
came impossible for the association to
act as a whole, and as wider range Of
interests was covered 1t was no longer
desirable to engage every member in
discussion of every topic.
There were sharply drawn special lines
kindergarten, primary, elementary, nor
NAL training, high school and college,
each sent its teachers, and though there
were many common meeting points there
were obviously particular aims and par
ticular needs that could best be consid-
cred in separate divisions.
So began the classification by depart
ments, insuring expedition of convention
routine and greatly increasing the benefit
that every teacher derives from member
ship.
In 1884 there were eight such depart
ments and these have been divided or
added to until there are now eighteen,
comprehending every branch of the teach
ers' work and touching many interests
that would once upon a time have
been esteemed beyond the associations 8
province.
From the very beginning migratory
meetings were planned, partly for the
purpose of stimulating the city and State
favored with the convention and partly
to secure to the members the inestimable
advantage of travel and acquaintance
with the extent and variety Of the
country.
1t is not the least of the associations S
benefits that it has stood for a broad
ening of sympathy that comes from
knowledge of conditions of life and
work in sections most remote from
each other and drawing closer of the
bonds of fellowship of those who are
really one in purpose.
Eighteen years ago the association
brought to California 5000 members,
which number was increased to 5000
at the Los Angeles convention in 1899,
and as every year that passes brings
the East closer to the West by Gus
tom and by popular travel, there is sure
to be an attendance this year more
nearly approaching the 24,000 mark set
by the membership at Asbury Park last
summer.

pared, will, after the time established

It has been said many times that

pectedly, the epithet cowardly is the
last 1 should consider appropriate In
describing them. have been charged
by lion, and he certainly did not look
cowardly. I have come face to face,
at a distance of some twenty feet, with
a family party of half dozen, fortu-
nately full fed. They stood, with quiet
dignity, looking at us, and then slowly
moved away, stopping every few yards
to stand and look again. There was
neither fear nor meanness in their ap-
pearance or behavior.
have seen lions stalking game, and
[ have myself been stalked by them.
If I could have encouraged myself with
the conviction Of their cowardliness
when I was the quarry and they the
hunters, it would have put different
aspect on the situation. We were at
this time living in station over seven
ty miles from the nearest connecting
link with the outside world, and when
man eating lions took possession Of the
one road which led to this link things
became serious.
A large troop was reported, and the
natives maintained that this troop ran
along in the grass parallel with the
caravan road "a path some ten inches
wide), and, having selected the most
edible member of the caravan, jumped
upon him like flash, and. selling him,
disappeared as quickly as they came.
Our mail runners, attached to whom
were a couple of native police armed
with rifles, were several times attack
ed. Finally, as the wall party was
camping one night, fortunately for it,
with a native caravan, the lions be-
came so bold that, in spite of fires, they
sprang upon a native and carried him
