Ably' i beville being one of the few counties in the state with no association of teachers at all, Supt. Fulp, after conferring with Supt. Evans has, with the authority of the latter, addressed the following letter to each teacher in Abbeville county: "We feel that you will agree with us when we say that it is nothing short of a shame that Abbeville county does not have a thoroughly progressive teachers' association. ' ? ? ? J X? A 4 "mere is no neeu iv cutcx imw ?, discussion of the merits of such an ss organization for every teachefr in this county realizes that when the body of county teachers stands for progressive ideas in educational lines they are able to exert a tremendous influence for better schools, better communities, and a better county. These ideals can be attained only by an organized body. "With the sole purpose in view of organizing a real live association wont you please assemble yourselves in the court house at Abbeville ? at 2 p. m., Saturday, March 6th.? ' "Mr. Lueco Gunter, state supervisor of rural schools, will address the teachers assembled and Erskine college has promised to have a representative here. "County superintendent of education W. J. Evans heartily endorses the organization of the county teachoro and nr^es each one of voil to be present the first Saturday afternoon in March." "Iron sharpeneth iron," and it must be recognized that each teacher who attends the meetings of the association cannot help but be benefitted. f . ?????__ \ r, ' 1 WIZARD HI - II .
