G. B. E. "A. Meeting

sion OF the Golden Belt e 1uca-
tional Association Assem- bled in
Russell at $50 o'clock Friday
morning, March 49, 1910, in the
M. E. Church and was one of the
greatest meetings the Associa-
ton has ever held. There were
221 teachers present and the en-
tire enrolment was 4275 making
an increase of GA over that of last
| year. The teachers of the city
the Commercial club and the cit
liens generally, did all in their
fpower to make the meeting a
success and how well they sue
ceeded is evidenced by the many
words of praise and commenda-
ton by the visitors. 1t was the
aim and purpose of ali interested
to see shat the teachers and their
friends enjoyed every minute of
! their short stay in the city and
we believe that this object was
fully attained The ladies of the
| city contributed largely to the
success of the meeting by throw
ing open their homes and caring
for the visitors.
The program as published was
carried out. State Supt E. Il.
FaircLild was present and gave
an address to the teachers which
was full of useful thought and
helpful to those who were fortu-
nate enough to hear him. Supt.
Fairchild has the happy faculty
of saying the right thing in the
right place and his address on
| this occasion was in keeping
with his usual method. More
than one were the compliment
airy remarks heard upon the con-
clusion of his address.
At the close of the first session,
Pres. J. H. Niesley announced
the following commit

Friday afternoon the Round
Tables were held as follows: The

section at the o.. B. church and
the Graded section at M. E.
church.
At o'clock p. M. the city
teachers held a reception in the
high school building for the visit
orS; they were given an automo-
bile ride through and around the
city before being conveyed to the
reception. This was one of the
features of the meeting that was
thoroughly enjoyed by the par
Elephants.
Friday evening at 8 O'Clock,
Gov. Ell. S. Hadley of Jefferson
City, Mo-, delivered an address
to as large an audience as could
be crowded into the opera house.
To say that it was pleasing and
instructive would be superfuous
as Gov. Hadley is one of the clean
est men and one of the most bril-
liant orators the country has
ever known. His address will
linger long in the memories of
those who had the pleasure of
listening to him.

pSchwegler of the State Univers-
ity and Supt. w. S. Huesner of
the Junction City schools This
was an intellectual and an edu-
cational feast which is seldom
| heard in one place and at one
time and the audience, was well
repaid for it's attendance.
