following circular to the press, which
outlines his scheme for collecting in

the graduates, trustees, professors
and friends of the college:
in, spending week once at Will
Jamestown and Williams college, moth
ing interested me more, and nothing
have I remembered SO wildly, as a
collection of the pictures of early
graduates. Changes in apparel, new
style in grooming, made the students
of one century seem odd and unspeak,
ably interesting to a later generation.
On the spot l formed the resolve TO
collect and present to the library OF
Grinnell college, Iowa, arranged in
large albums, all the pictures that
can In any way acquire of all persons
OF either sex who have been at any
time connected with the college. Will
you allow me to reach through your
columns many of the graduates OF

Iowa college, and of all who have
been connected in any way with the
work or life of the college and to
state to them that | am filing a mum.
Der of large albums with photographs
of the students and friends of the col
lege and request that they send me
not only their own photographs, but
any that they are willing to contrib
ute to this peculiar collection. IF any
duplicates come-to me will return
them to those who send them If they
so request, when they write me
Where negatives are known to exist
particularly of the earliest graduates
will gladly pay for having photo
graphs made If they are now in exis
tence. All these albums when filled
will be deposited gratutiously in the
library of the college at Grinnell. The
photographs will be assembled here
in Salem. where scores have already
been privately secured. earnestly
seek the cooperation of all the friends
of the college. If you have rare
photograph remember that it is to be
placed in fire proof building and In
a library where it will have the great
est publicity.

TEACHERS WILL
MEET EARLIER
STATE CONVENTION TO BE HELD
in NOVEMBER INSTEAD OF
DURING HOLIDAYS.

Des Moines, Sept. 2S.-The Iowa
State Teachers association proflting
by the experience of other states has
changed the date of its annual meet
ing to the early fall instead of holding
it in midwinterf as formerly. This
years meeting will be held in Des
Moines November 4, 5 and 6, and it is
expected that there will be from three
to four thousand teachers in attend
ance.
Supt. of Public Instruction John F.
Riggs, has sent out the following let
ter:
To County and City Superintendent:
The next annual meeting of the
Iowa State Teachers association will
be held in Des Moines, November 4, 5
and 6, 1909.
That the meeting may be of the
greatest benefit to the schools it Is
important that it be very largely at
tended by teachers and superinten-
dents 1t is therefore suggested that,
where practicable, the usual fall vaca-
tion may be made to occur during the
week the state meeting will be held,
thus affording teachers the opportunity
to attend the meetings of the State
association without disturbing the
work Of the schools. Where this can
not be done, school boards are urged
to make arrangements whereby teach
ers who wish to attend the state meet
ing may have the opportunity of doing
SO without loss OF pay.
suggest that you take this matter
up with your school boards, with a
view to the securing of their co-opera-
tion along the lines suggested.
Very truly yours,
John F. Riggs,
Supt. Public Instruction.
