OF the New Mexico Educational Asso-
citation is now in session in Roswell
for tie first time in its history, having
opened with formal exercises at the
Southern VI. E. church last night, at
which there was a good attendance of
Roswell teachers and town-people and
a fair representation of outside mem
bers although the early attendance
of Instructors was not as large as an
ticipated. Being located in a corner
of the territory, Roswell can hardly
expect the attendance that city
more centrally located would be ac-
corded. However, there is a splendid
attendance on the part OF the local
teachers and Instructors from the
lower valley. and this gives tle As
sociation the proper encouragement
for a successful session. 125 mem
bers had today signed the roll and
paid their dues and half as many
more are in the city to later go thru
this formality.
