| regret that was called away and
could not attend the meetings Of the
teachers on .last Saturday. | was
very anxious to be at the meeting be
cause l had some things | wanted to
say to the teachers and then had eN-
pected TO attend the meeting Of the
colored teachers to bring to them
some matters which concern their
work. But just before the meeting
received message that my mother
was i'll and worse and | immediate
made arrangements 10 go home. l
am glad that I found her condition
better than | feared ! would and shat
al this w1iing she seems to be doing
very well, as we'll as we could hope o.
expect and Dr.. Houseal who went ov-
er with me on Monday to see her says
she has good prospects of recovering
from this illness.
Prof. o. B. Cannon presided at the
meeting and the attendance was only
fairly good as to numbers. There
was no old business and no commit
tees to report and the days program
was taken up at once. President S. J.
Derrick of Newberry college was pre-
sented to the association for an ad
dress on summer schools, and espec-
tally the one to De held at Newoerry
the coming summer. 1t will open
July II and will run for six weeks and
TIE teachers of the county are urged
to take advantage of this opportunity
to have the advantages of a good sum-
mer school right at home and they
will ge. the same credit for attend
ance that they would get if they at
tended Winthrop or any Of the other
summer schools. The programs and
schedules and rates will be presented
later.
Dr. Roy P .Finney presented the
work of the county health unit and
urged the Importance of screens and
sanitation generally but just now the
important thing is to fight the fly.
Mr.. c. NJ. Wilson extended an in
v.tation to hold the next meeting of
the association in the good town of
Whitmire and the invitation was ac-
cepted, the time being left to Mr.
Wilson and the superintendent of ed
ucation. Mr.. Wilson writes that Ell
ther the 30th of April or the 7th of
May VIII be agreeable 70 the Whit
mire folk and | have decided to an
nounce that the meeting will be held
or Saturday, April so. We will have
picnic Dime, OF? the grounds and
spend the day with these good people
and l hope every teacher in the coun-
ty will make special efforts to attend
this meeting. These people at Whit
mire, as have before remarked, do
things and know how to do them, and
the matter of entertaining this asso-
citation is no exception to the things
they know how to do and all who at
tend this meeting may be assured oe-
forehand of right royal good tine
as we'll as a profitable day. Let US
go to this meeting $50 strong or more
if there are that many teachers in the
county. Prof. Cannon has already be-
gun arrangements to teke ?ll the
teachers in the Newberry schools and
I hope similar arrangements will be
made at Prosperity and Little Noun
tain and in fact at ali the schco;s m
the county. This Whitmi-e town i: a
real live place and they do things owe:
there and it will be an respiration to
the teachers to attend Il meeting in
such place and then this will be the
last meeting of this school year And
why not bring your trustees along?
am sure the people will be glad tc
have them attend the meeting.
If the teachers who desire to attend
this meeting and have no way of get
ting there will notify me I will aid
them in securing conveyance.
