dance Anticipated, Says County

The meeting of the October ses
sion of the Maury county teachers
association will be held on the first

from every section of the county to

tanned from both the teacher and the
pupils.
1t is becoming more and more evi.
dent to the teachers In every section
that the county associations that
bring the instructors together for an
exchange of ideas and commingling
of thoughts works to the advantage
individually and collectively. The
teachers are capable OF higher
grade of work. and the pupils are
brought to higher standard of ideals
and a more thorough determination
for achievement.
In Maury county the school i'm
provement work has done more per-
haps to stimulate activity and bring
about these higher ideals than any
one other thing. and Supt. Graham
has been vital force in promoting
and encouraging this feature Of The
school work. No teacher ever an
plies to him for suggestions, informa-
ton or help without a response. and
this working together OF the three
elements of the schools the teach
ers, the pupils and the county SUPER
intendent-has brought about a won
derful uplift during the past few
years.
