all schools, school officers and par

AS an evidence af the Importance
of this association, il may be we'll to
state that over / ,200 teachers and 9TH
ers attended the twenty-eighth session
at Albuquerque last year The paid
memberships number 1859 In view
of the benefits of the meeting to
teachers, school officers and parents
the state board az its meeting last

tendent of public instruction TO adj
dress circular letters In Spanish and
English TO boards of county commits
sioners, boards OF education boards of
school directors boards of regents, and
teachers relative to the New Mexico
Educational association. II is in pur-
suance Of this resolution that am
writing to urge that YOU permit teach
ers to attend the coming meeting Of
the association without deducting any
thing from the salary of teachers for
such attendance. Wherever the funds
of the district permit, the expenses of
the teacher should be paid wholly or
IN part from such funds. 1t Is a legltl-
mate and proper xpenditure-really
IAN inVestment--as your teachers VIII
thus be able to gain inspiration ana
practical suggestions for their work
in your schools. II is largely due to
the fact that so many teachers ana
school officers have met in these an
nual gatherings, that New Mexico is
making such rapid strides education
ally in every part OF the state. Let us
get together for a still stronger cam
paign for better schools. It Is an es-
pecially opportune time in view of the
approaching session Of the state legis-
lature when new measures for school

sidered.
