CAROLINA TEACHERS
TO HOLD SESSION
To Moot in Columbia on March 28rd.
Probable that Schools Will Allow
Holidays.
The South Carolina State Teachers'
Association will meet in annual ses
sion in Columbia on Thursday after
noon at 4 o'clock, March 23d, and will
adjourn at noon, March 2f>th. Indica
tions are that the largest body of
teachers over assembled in South Car
olina wil be present. The fact that
the meeting is to he held in the
spring will largely Increase the at
tendance. Low* railroad rates will be
granted, and Columbia is accessible
to the great majority of the teachers
of the state.
Ilollday Recommended.
Moreover, the trustees of the schools
are being urged to grant teachers
leave of absence for two days, with
pay, in accordance with a resolution
passed by the State Hoard of Educa
tion, to encourage the teachers, to at
tend the meeting of the association.
Day of Conventions.
This is a day of wonderful progress,
largely because it is a time of con
ferences and congresses and meets In
all lines of endeavor. We have the
House of Governors, Conservation
Congresses, Industrial Conferences,
Hankers' Conventions, Medical Asso
ciations. In fact, every profession has
its great gatherings where the best in
formation as to what is being found
out along its particular lines is made
known.
A Great Mooting Predicted.
Let us have a gathering of the clans
in Columbia - such a gathering as will
make other professions take notice,
and make ourselves prouder of our
calling. Let us have so many teachers
in Columbia that the Capital city Will
feel like decorating for us. Let us
come to 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
welfare.
Pay Your Duos Now.
Suppose we men send in now the
one dollar, women fifty cents annual
fee to Mr. C. V. Neuffer, treasurer,
Columbia, S. C, so that the executive
committee may be the better prepared
to make arrangements for the meet
ing.
Do it now.
Do it for your profession.
The Program,
The program for the State Teach
ers' Association, which meets in Co
lumbia March 23d-25th, will soon be
completed. It will have on It some
of the most distinguished educators
of the South, a most successful teach
er of the West, and a large number
of South Carolina teachers.
From outside the State, Chancellor
Jas. H. Klrkland, of Vaudorbilt Uni
versity; Supt. O. H. Benson, of Iowa;
and Supt. Lawton B. Evans, of Au
gusta, have already accepted Invita
tions.
The Local Committee.
A strong committee, consisting of
Prof. E. S. Dreher, Prof. L. T. Baker
and Mr. W. B. Dove. Is In charge of
the local arrangements in Columbia.
This committee will likely secure the
use of the State House as the meeting
place of the Association.
Inquiries are already coming In as
to the rates on railroads, at hotels,
etc., and the indications are that the
attendance at the spring meeting will
break all records.
