Inc executive committee OF the MAINE
Teachers Association presents the pre-
linnary program of the 18th annual
meeting which will be held Oct. 26 and q
at Portland. In this convention are in
cluced the meetings of the Maine School,
masters Club, the Maine Branch of the
American School Peace League, the
Maine Council of Teachers of English,
the Maine Branch. National Council of
Mothers and Parent-Teachers Associa-
tons.
The program is considered one of the
strongest ever offered to the members of
this association. The number of general
sessions has been increased from two to
three and the speakers for each of these
SAessions are too we'll known to make fur
ther comment necessary. In the group
and department meetings the executive
committee has for the first time. adopted
generally the plan of providing a paid
sneaker The revenue of the association
must determine whether such a policy
can be continued.
The two school music festivals which
have alieady been held have proved of
such ereral interest and have received
so mach favorable comment that it is
tcoS4bAS
an annual feature of the meeting of the
association.
Special attention is called to the very
low rates which have been offered by the
railroads for attendance of teachers at
this meeting. These rates are consider
ably less than have been in force for
other meetings and will offer an added IN
ducement for all teachers to take advan-
tage of them.
Arrangements have been made for hear
ing the splendid organ in the City hall
auditorium. This feature alone is suffi-
cient 10 make attendance at this conven-
ton worth while, and 1t is hoped that
the registration will be the largest that
the association has ever known.
All persons interested in education are
invited to become members of the asso-
citation. The membership fees are 500
for men and 30 cents for women.
Members receive the association badge
which entities them to admission to all
meetings of the association without cost
