citation.

MILWAUKEE,. Wis, Oct 23.-The
coming meeting of the Wisconsin Teach
er's association is creating a great deal
of interest among teachers of the state.
November Z, s and 8, 1907, promise to
be red letter days in the history of the
association. Reports from all over the
state bring the good news that school
boards recognize the value of these con-
yentions and are permitting their teach
ers two days to attend the meeting with
out loss of salary.
Among the interesting papers to be
presented is one on Education and So
ciety," Prof. e. A. Ross of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin, who has but recently
come to the state, and is rapidly coming
to the front as one of Wisconsin's edu-
Gators. Prof. Gerga e. Vincent of Chi
cago university, who will discuss the
New Duty of the School" needs no In
PRODUCTION to Wisconsin teachers. Two Of
Indiana's strongest educators appear
upon the programme. President K. b.
Bryan of Franklin college, Indiana,
gives the address upon The Psychology
of Work" President Bryan, one of the
strongest educational workers in the
state Of Indiana, is a popular institute
conductor and Wisconsin educators, who
have had the pleasure of hearing Mr..
Bryan talk, say that he is one of the
most interesting and inspiring speakers
they have ever heard. Reports from his
own state confirm this verdict.

instruction of Indiana, has during his
administration succeeded in obtaining for
the teachers in his state better wages and
conditions and has worked to raise the
profession of teaching to the highest
possible level. In a recent address he

anything else keeps salaries down."

worked on the school question in In
diana and he proposes to tell the edu-
Gators of Wisconsin how his system has
worked out. Other speakers on the pro-
gramme from outside the state are

merous local speakers will take part in

grammes of interest to all departments
