FULTON TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.

On Friday evening, January %, Mr..
and Mrs. o. P. Murwin invited all the
teachers in the town of Fulton to their
home, so that the teachers might be-
come better acquainted and thus help
each other in their school work. A
good many of the teachers were there,
also County Supt. Antisdel and his as
sistants, Misses Clapp and Cook and a
jolly good time was had by all. A let
ter was read from Mr.. Harper, chief
clerk at the state superintendent Of
flee, regretting that he would be un-
able to attend owing to a previous
meeting at Monroe.
The teachers formed the Fulton
Teachers Association, electing Miss
Lillian Somerfeldt of Joint District No.
for president; Miss Irene Jordan of
Joint District No.\3 3, vice president,
and Miss Helen Anderson of Dist. No.
8, secretary and treasurer. The teach
ers are to meet at different times in
different districts and we believe this
is one of the best steps that have been
taken to stimulate the interest in our
rural schools. An invitation was also
given the teachers by Mr.. Murwin from
Lawrence Whittet, speaker of the as
sembly, to visit the capitol at Madison
and see the assembly in session and to
shake hands with the governor and
take in great many other interesting
places.
AS the State Teachers convention
will be held in Madison on Feb. IL and
13, County Supt Antisdel invited the
teachers to come to Madison on Feb
ruary II and also attend the convention.
He has since arranged through Speaker
Whittet to have all of the teachers in
Rock county to visit the assembly at
10 a. m. Friday, February II, and a
meeting with the governor will be at
2:30 in the afternoon of the same day.
Also invitations were received from
state superintendent office, the library
commission and several other commits
sions to call and see their work while
there, and thus see some of the forms
of government the teachers are ex-
pected to teach in their schools each
day. We hope to see every teacher in
our town at the depot in Edgerton on
Friday morning, Feb. II, to take the 8
O'Clock train for Madison.
