Association of Abbeville County
Teachers To Be Formed Here
March Sixth.
The Abbeville county association
of teachers is going to be resurrected

ent Will J. Evans and City Superintendent
J. D. Fulp materialize. 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.

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.
