through this association that We can
resent the scurTilous attacks of inter-
lopers with loose tongues" said Presi-
dent James w. Roberts of Jerseyville,
in referring to the normal schools. He
said they We're the crafty, aggressive
enemies of the county superintend-

nation questions for all teachers of
the state. Each county superintendent
shall grade the papers and award GER
