Des Moines. Sept. 25.-The next an
nual meeting of the Iowa State Teach
ers' Association will be held in Des
Mofnes, Nov. 4, 5, and g. That the
meeting may be of the greatest benefit
to the schools. it is important that it
be very largely attended by teachers
and superintendent. 1t is therefore
suggested that, where practicable, the
usual fall vacation be made to occur
during the week the state meeting will
be held, thus affording teachers the OPP
portunity 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
teachers who wish to attend the state
meeting may have the opportunity Of
doing SO without loss of pay.
If the experience of other states that
have changed the date of their meet
ings from the mid winter to the early
fall Is repeated in Iowa, there will be
from four to five thousand teachers at
Des Moines the first week in Novem-
Der. While so large a number is hard
ly expected, reports indicate that the
attendance will be far above that of
previous years. The program so far as
received gives promise of unusual ex-
cellence.
All associations Of college alumni are
urged to have their reunions and din
ners on Friday evening, beginning at 5
o'clock. For the accommodation of
those who take part in these functions,
the general program for Friday even
ing has been made shorter than usual
and the exercises will not begin until
$3.50 O'clock
