English Teachers Entertain.
Miss Lucia G. Pittman and Miss
Marie Kiedaisch, teachers of English
in the high school, with Miss Sim
mons, head of the English depart
ment Of the Carthage high school,
were hostesses at dinner on Satur-
day evening, given for the western
group Of the Illinois English teach
ers association. The dinner was Civ
en- in the private dining room of the
Y. w. C. A. and was followed by a
discussion OF some phases of the
teaching Of English, with Miss Ferris
Of Quincy, as leader. This group Of
teachers includes representatives
from Hannibal, Quincy. Jacksonville,
Carthage and Keokuk. 1t seems a
cluded in an Illinois association. The
Iowa teachers association is not or
ganized along the some lines as the
Illinois and since Miss Pittman and
Miss Kiedaisch took their training at
the University Of Chicago and had
known there many Of the teachers,
their admission to the organization
was rather personal than geographic |
cal. The association meets Informally
once or twice year when both |
pleasure and profit Is derived.
