ceive from the association with hun
dreds of fellow teachers and with
masters of the profession, such com
pensation from exchanges of views
and experiences as will many times
compensate for the loss of the single
day. that will actually be missed from
school. All the schools will take
Thanksgiving and rains arc SO ar
ranged that Amos all will be able to
leave their homes on Wednesday pre-
ceding Thanksgiving Thursday, thus
attending the entire convention.
