2 STATE TEACHERS' A! AND WH1 The following paper, read b> Miss Bessie Flynn at the lasl meeting of the county associa tion is well worth careful read ing by every teacher in th< county. The reasons are, wi believe, convincing and shouh be a means of helping all teach ers to decide that they canno attorcl to miss the coming meet ing of the association: As the spring season fo teachers' conventions am teachers' associations, boll state and national, approaches this question presents itself t< the thoughtful teacher. "Cai 1 afford to go?" and its coral lary, "How will I be benefited?' The benefits, both personal am professional, are many. If were to attempt to enumerate them it would consume pages Briefly, these gathering bring together the leading am successful teachers in the pro fession. Enthusiasm, ideals methods and plans are share< and transmitted. The teacher isolated for many months, i made to feel that he is one o the mighty bands of worker; engaged in the noblest an< geatest of pursuits or profes sions. He forms new acquaint ances, renews old friendships and shakes hands with the fel lows that he has not seen sine* he sat together with them 01 the Cr?Hl]?ti?lor rnaf nmi tvinn. 0 v.v, i von mil llldllj Junes ago. The South Carolina Stab Teachers' Association will meei in annual session in Columbia Indications are that the largest body of teachers ever assemblec in South Carolina will be present. The fact that the meeting is to be in the spring will largely increase the attendance Low railroad rates will be granted and Columbia is accessible tc the great majority of the teach ers of the state. The teachers of South Carolina are progres sive in the main. The State Teachers' Association has hac much to do with the advance that has been made in educa tional matters. Our greatesl trouble is that too few teachers are getting the inspiration anc helpfulness that come from getting new ideas and plans. This year let us have a gathering of the clans in Columbia ?such a gathering as will make other professions sit up and take notice, and in so doing make ourselves prouder of oui calling. Let us have so many teachers in Columbia that the capital city will feel like decorating for us. Let us come tc our meeting with a spirit of progress and a determination not only to enjoy mingling with our comrades in the great battle against illiteracy, but to better equip ourselves for the waging of more modern and vigorous warfare. An excellent program is being prepared by the committee, containing the names of some of the most prominent speakers in the South. It will be a rare treat for all of us who attend. Aside from the interesting literary program that is being prepared, let us take a peep into the social features. The capital city with its churches, its hotels, its colleges, its libraries, its homes and its people, to the ncquismve mum. is simpiy a Source of delight. The opportunity to meet fellow teachers and citizens of the city in a social way, to attend receptions, to visit the places of amusement and historic interest, to shop in new marts, is offered. In conclusion, I shall attempt to tfive briefly a few reasons show in# why it is absolutely necessary for us to attend this convention in Columbia : The peoples' interest in out schools will never be any greater than that shown by th( teacher. The people look to the teach VIM HCWIlg ill CCMHJtJIL IlOl MM 111dividuals?to point out eeforms needed, and to suggest means of' improvement. Coming from large bodies representing: practically the vhole educational force of t,h( state, the suggestions made wil have a greater influence on tht boards ol trustees and the leg islature. The fact that a teacher actively allies herself with leader? studying educational problems like the state or county association is a sure sign that she i< really in earnest and is not i TH 5S0CIATI0N " i WE SHOULD ATTEND "S C r mere job-holder.
