casion should write to Supt. E. S.

of the fact in order that the pro-

The association will hold its last
session on Wednesday evening. Only
one address VIII be delivered, and
without rejecting in any way on the
other persons on the programme this
address Will perhops be the address of
the occasion. It will be delivered by
DR.. Seaman a. Knapp, head Of the
bureau Of plant industry OF the Uni
Ted States department of agriculture
at Lake Charles, La, and his subject
will be What Can the Teacher Do
to Improve Rural Conditions ?'' Dr.
Knapp was on the programme at
the Conference for Eeducation in the
South, which met at Pineaust, y. c.,
last month, and made the greatest
speech Of the occasion. He was so
anxious to come to South Carolina
that he changed plans already made
IN order to address the teachers Of
this State. He will come to South
Carolina several days before the as
soc:ation meets to study agricultural
conditions here, and as he is one Of
the abiest scientific exponents Of
farming and farm methods in the
coentry, he will have something Of
far-reaching importance to say to
the teachers. His address alone will
be worth going to Chick Springs to
hear.
AS previously announced rates Of
s15O day will be granted by the ho-
tel authorities to members of the as
sociation, and these rates will be ex-
tended for a few days before and af-
ter the association meets, thus Civ
ing the teachers ample opportunity to
enjoy short outing at thsese famous
springs at a small cost.
