The Obion County teachers Asso-
citation, which was held at Troy. Sa,-
.urday, the 18th ult., was a striking
success. The attendance was large
and the interest and enthusiasm ex-
cellent.
The president, Prof. F. e. Ranck,
was unable to attend on account of
illness and the vice president, Pro-.
w. H, Cravens presided. Miss Cath
crime Richards and her Domestic
Science class served a most delight
full lunch and proved they could &C
commodate large numbers as thor
oughly as few.
Forty-fve teachers enrolled in
the county and State associations.
The State association was reorgan-
lied last year at Nashville and its
purpose, hope and desire is to pro-
mote and enhance the educational
interest of Tennessee. The State
Teachers Association is trying to
serve the best interest of the teacher
| by keeping the teacher from affill-
ating with organized labor, using its
| influence, time and energy in the en-
deavor to secure more adequate liv-
ing conditions for the efficient teach
er in order that he may continue to
teach, thereby giving the children OF
Tennessee a square deal in school,
which is the ultimate goal. May ev-
cry teacher in Obion County support
the thing that is advancing his inter-
est by enrolling in the State Teach
er's Association. The fee for enroll
ing in the Obion County Teachers
Association and the State Teachers
Association is $1.50-one dollar for
the county and fifty cents for the
State. The fee for enrolment in the
State Teachers Association, except
through a county teachers associa-
ton, is one dollar. The fee for the
county association is for the purpose
of defraying incidentals and paying
the expenses of the most competent
talent the program committee will be
able to secure to address the associa-
ton from time to time. Every teach
err who desires to join the State and
county associations will please mail
his check to Miss Vivienne White,
Union City, the treasurer; If the
teacher wishes to join the county as
ISOLATION only, he will send one dol
lar to the treasurer. May all to
whom it is convenient send in their
checks Immediately as there are some
bills to be taken care of.
