To all interested in the county
schools:
While the activities of this asso-
citation pertain distinctively to the
interest Of the grades, and while ru-
raj and high school teachers are IN
no sense required to attend, they
are most cordially invited to do so.
Especially do we hope that every
superintendent of a graded system
in the county will, and that all teach
ers of special subjects will feel that
they have a place among us. School
officers and patrons are both invited
and urged to be present throughout
the session. We hope that many pu-
pills from the schools of the county
will have the opportunity OF attend
ing the contest and visiting the ex-
hibit. Let us all work together to
the end that this occasion may con-
tribute much toward the further i'm
provement of educational conditions
in Decatur county.
