Circular Letter to Teachers of Santa
Fe County.
Dear Friends: On December third,
the first Saturday of the month, a
meeting of all the teachers of Santa
re county and the city of Santa Fe
will be held at the court house in San
ia Fe, at, 2 p. m. The principal part
of the program will be devoted to
discussing health questions with
which the leading physicians of Santa
Fe will take part This is one of the
most important subjects with which
teachers have to deal and it is earnest
ly desired that teachers both in the
county and the city will come to,
gether and listen to the discussions
of these subjects by men who are
qualified to speak concerning them.
Not only is it to be desired that teach.
ers will be present, but that parents
also will find time to be present to
hear these important questions dis,
cussed. We sincerely hope, therefore
that teachers in their various COM
munities will call the attention OF
school patrons to this meeting.
At this meeting also the question
of attending the New Mexicoc Educa.
tional Association at East Las Vegas
December 9th to 29th, will be brought
before teachers of the city and the
county 1t is hoped that large dele
cation from Santa Fe will attend the
twenty-fifth annual meeting which
from all indications will be the larg.
est ever held in the territory. We
should also take steps to the end that
cordial invitation will be extended
to the New Mexico educational associ.
alton to hold it's twenty-sixth annual
meeting in Santa Fe.
A report of the Reading Circle work
done by the teachers of the county
will also be called for and progress
noted. Along this line let us organize
the work little more carefully SO
that the teachers will be able to dc
the work required for their certifica-
ton. 1t may be that many teachers
do not fully understand the require
ments and as many teachers will be
asking for third grade certificates a
second time it will be we'll for them to
be present and learn concerning Read
ing Circle requirements. Let us plan
systematic WORK and follow out read
ing outlined before the county teach
ers institute opens next summer.
Yours very respectfully,
