Supt. Eva. M. Fleming, of the De-
corah High School is chairman of the
executive committee, and has been
diligently at work for some time
securing prominent speaking talent
for the meeting, and perusal of
the program printed below will re-
veal the fact that Mrs. Fleming has
succeeded admirably. In fact she
has secured one of the finest array of
speakers that one would wish to
IA. Judd, of the University of Chica-
go. He is one of the most prominent
educators in the country. Dr. Judd
refused the state meeting at Des
Moines, Nov. 5-6-7, and also the re-
cent meeting of the Northeastern AS
sociation held at Cedar Rapids the
first of the month but consented to
come to DEBORAH, which is a decided
compliment to the chairman, and our
citizens generally. He will give two
addresses here. Several of the 9TH
er prominent speakers on the pro-
gram have been invited to take part
in the state meeting this fall, also.
The meetings will all be free to the
public, with the exception of Friday
evening, when an admission of 25c
will be charged Teachers wearing
badges will be admitted free The
rest of the meetings are free to the
general public.
With such large number of Wis
itors within our gates it will be i'm
possible for the hotels to accommo-
date all, so it has been customary
for the citizens to entertain the
teachers, particularly to provide lodg-
ing for Friday night, and breakfast
teachers will be happily cared for
because when it comes to hospitality
our citizens are never found In the
background. Following is the ex-
cellent program provided:
