The Southwest division Of the
Minnesota Education association
will have its annual meeting at the
Teachers college on October 4, and
g. 1t is the plan to have every teach
er present, according to County Su-
perintendent w. H. Detamore, this
year as was last year. Blue Earth
county won the record last year by
having every teacher present, which
was the only county in the state
holding such record. I'VE find a
three days convention is much pet
ter than the regular week institute
OF the past said Superinte ndent
Detamore. There is more pep and
enthusiasm put in the three days
than in the other five days as before.
The teachers go away filled with in
SEPARATION and enthusiasm from list
ening to the best speakers which can
be obtained, and the best music that
can be provide d. And no. oni. is IL a
great help to all teachers, but they
look forward to these meetings. They

was a caller at the office Of County
Superintendent w. H. Detamore,
Monday.
According to County Superinten-
dent w. II. Detamore, all of the

teachers for the fall opening. There
Is a larger supply OF teachers this

in the past. One of the reasons at
tributed for this according to the
is the fact that

there is a great demand from all of
the schools wanting first class
teachers, holding first grade certifi
Gates. At the present time there are
125 rural and semi grade schools in
this county.
Ralph Coggeshall, who is q grad
