Corps convention and became stalled in

1t is very probable that the meeting
Of the Western Somerset Teachers As
ISOLATION will be held the 18th Of jan
uary instead of in May as has been
the custom in years past. This change
is suggested because Of the lateness in
the school year when the sessions were
usually held. the helpful features OF
the convention being of much less value
than they would beFheld in middle
of the year. The meetings Will occur
this year in Scion and II A more than
probable that the early, dats already
mentioned will be decided upon.
