Ernest efforts are being made by the
North Carolina Teachers Assembly
which meets in Charlotte Thanksgiv
ing week, to have a large representa-
si0n Of the schools boards OF the State
organized as an integral part Of the
teachers assembly.
A committee of the teachers assem-
bly,, composed OF A. T. Allen, D. F.
Giles and e. E. Sans, has written to
the members of the school boards OF
the State bringing this matter to their
attention and informing them Of the
plans for the meeting.
The letter follows:
THE North Carolina Teachers AS
sembly Is very anxious that depart
ment Of school boards be organized
as an integral part of the assembly.
The teachers of North Carolina have
found the meetings OF the assembly
very helpful in the solution Of their
own peculiar problems. 1t is believed
that similar meeting of the board
members would be advantageous to all
the schools of the State. There are
many vital problems relating to the
schools that are clearly in the hands
Of the various boards OF the State. A
frank discussion of these problems
and their various solutions might be
the means of avoiding many costly
mistakes.
'The welfare Of the schools has sucn
y vital relation to the economic well
fare of the entire State that it seems
TO us that the time has come for
6oards to begin to get away from the
idea of local administration of schools
and begin to look at the schools from
the standpoint Of a saskatchewan

Recognizing this need and the need
TOR closer relation between the board
and the teaching force, the committee
from the teachers assembly has been
very fortunate in securing the follow
ing gentlemen to prepare a program
