of the meeting to a Herald reporter
she said: 1t was the largest meeting
ever held in the state; over four
= thousand were enrolled. Oskaloosa
was among the best represented
towns in the state, nearly all her
teaching force being in attendance,
and our teachers were not figure
heads, but were active and interest
ed in securing for themselves the
best the association had to offer for
their grade or department. There
were maLy comments heard upon the
present most excellent condition of
our city schools, and it Is generally
conceded that they have made mark
ed improvement and the present
condition of our High school is re-
Igardea most favorably. Mrs. Rogers
expressed herself as being particu-
larly we'll pleased to hear, among
TIC cider school men and those best
acquainted with the situation through
out the state, favorable comments
upon Supt. Flower, and his work. He
is looked upon as one of the coming
men in educational circles. He is
spoken of with respect by all, and
his views on school matters are re-
garded as up to date, and sound, and
of such a character as to warrant
their being put into practice. He is
regarded as a man of ability and
character, as well as cultural train
ing. She also said, there were in
quiries concerning Principal Betting,
of our High school, and his work with
our boys is receiving favorable COM
ment. There were a number of
prominent speakers. Among them
Mrs. Rogers mentioned State Supt.
Morrison, of New Hampshire; DR..
