In his opening remarks this morning
President Joseph Roster stated that
he believed that the next ten years
would see this State Education asso-
citation the greatest power for good in
the state,
The sentiment was voiced through
out the session that Fairmont had out
done herself in taking care OF this vast
concoulze of visitors and as Supt. L.
w. Burns, Of Grafton put it, in sug-
costing that the day was not far dis
tant when the organization would have
to be divided in order to properly take
care of It, said that ii Fairmont had
not had a big vision and grasped it
this meeting would have been trag-
edy, whereas it had been anything but
a tragedyand tsat he believed the city
should be con graduated on entertain
ing the visitors so royalty.

A conservative estimate places the

he greatest proportion perhaps was
in the homes of the city.
The exodus of teachers from the city
began with yesterday evening and in
,omparisoI Tyith the vast crowd which
yesterday packed the auditorium of
he First NJ. E. church to capacity the
crowd this morning looked rather
