Editor Tribune.
Living as we do in an educa-
tional center we believe that many
OF the readers of the Tribune Will
be interested in brief account OF
the second largest meeting of teach
ers in Colorado. the annual meeting
o. the Northern Colorado Teachers
association which met Friday and
Saturday at Boulder.
This meeting is regarded by many
as of even greater benefit to the
teachers of northern Colorado than
the state meeting held in Denver
earlier in the year. The object OF
this meeting is primarily to consider
what to teach and how to present
the same-but in addition. lectures
are given tending to broaden the
views of the teachers who do. not
have as many advantages as the
teachers who live in larger towns
and cities.
The convention was presided over
this year by C. G. Manning of La
fayette-the several superintend-
ents in turn being elected to preside
at these annual meetings. We were
welcomed to Boulder by Mayor E.
ID. Webb in a talk which showed
that the municipality in its govern
ment and progress is inseparably
connected with public education.

this meeting Practically all of the
Greeley teachers were there and
