URGE TEACHERS TO
ATTEND MEETING
Plans For Great Attendance at First
Meeting Of Northeastern Teach
ers' Association.

Urging a large attendance at the
first meeting of the Northeastern Ok
lahoma Teachers association here on
March 1926, the county superintend-
ents in charge OF the arrangements
have addressed to all of the superin-
tendents in the twenty counties, the
following letter:
Vinita, Okla,
Dear Superintendent: We are anx-
ious to make the first session of the
Northeastern Teachers association a
success, and It will take just three
things to make it so-good attendance,
a good program and good entertain
ment.
The good attendance depends upon
you. You can urge your teachers to
be present and they will come-you,
alone, can show them it is worth their
while. It is just as necessary for the
school district officers TO be present.
II has been a mistake not to have them
in our state association. Nine-tenths
of our schools are rural schools, and
employing the teacher and giving her
the proper support is one Of the most
important parts in our education.
A large store room about $500
square feet Of floor space, will be Civ
en- us by the Commercial Club for a
display of school work. All schools
are earnestly asked to make a display.
We shall have plenty Of room for both
cities and districts.
AS for the program, we honestly be-
lieve Il is an unusually good one-the
subjects are live and worthy of discus
sion. The success of the program will
depend upon the amount Of brain mat
ter brought to bear upon the topics
by you and your teachers.
The city Of Vinita is anxious to have
us. They offer to give us auto rides,
receptions, shows, and just about any
thing else we may want; but we have
insisted that our meeting is for work;
that we will be there for educationa
purposes and not have time to accept
too much hospitality.
Be sure to have your papers give
this meeting as much publicity as pos
sible, and keep it up It is possible
some of the teachers will fail to see
their names on the program, so may
not be prepared We should be glad
to have you look over the program and
write and urge every one of your
teachers to be prepared. Try and have
at least one representative for each
district.
Now let us get together and work
for the educational good of Oklahoma,
especially Northeast Oklahoma. Send
out the letters and programs to your
teachers and school district officers
and urge them to be present.
Fraternaaly yours,
J. +. GAMBILL.
