We are sending you this announce
ment of the meeting of the Education-

that the Santa Fe meeting will show

teachers will want to take advantage
of this opportunity to visit the capitol
of the state and the most interesting
town in the southwest. The railroads
are making lower rates than ever be

adequate and the rates reasonable.
Santa Fe will prove herself hospatable
and all will be most heartily vel
coined.
