Nebraska State Teachers' Association
Tho State Teachers' Association
meets in Lincoln on the 3rd, 4th and
5th of November, 1909,
Last year's splendid attendance dem
onstrnted tho wisdom of fixing an oarlier
date than tho winter holidays and a
date when all teachers, school officers
and patrons are most interested in edu
cation. The Association is not a holi
day celebration it is a" meeting of
earnest men and women for mutual
neip and inspiration in the work
of
making Nebraska's public schools th
most eltective in the world.
The executive committee the local
committee and the Lincoln Commer
cial Club have given the most careful
attention to every detail of program
aud local entertainment required for
ten thousand school people.
A splendid program caunot benefit
those schools whose officers and teach
ers are not in attendance.
Where school boatds have not al
ready grautod their teachers the three
days on regular pay, the superintendent
of the town and city school, and the
teachorofthe country school, should
place the matter before the board and
give positive assurance that the time
asked will bo devoted to improving tho
work of the ichool.
If necessary dismiss school and make
up Ume later.
You are engaged in a great work for
a great state. Be patriotic.

By a comparison with tho coires'
ponding month last year it will be
noted that there is an increase in en
rollment. This increase is especially
noticeable in the high school, the at
tendance being the largest in the his
tory of tho high school. At the same
rate of increase it will be but a few
years till the present assembly room
will be inadequate.
In spite of the interference in tho at
tendance caused by tho county fair,
there havo been but two months in the
Allianco schools in which the records
show a higher percent of attendance.
Nine rooms report perfect punctuali
ty for tho month. The order in which
tbey are named below indicates the
relative pet cent of attendance: 7th
grade, Miss Bacon, teacher; 8th grade,
Miss White, teacher; 6th grade, Miss
Riddell, teacher; 4th grade, Miss Ne
rud, teacher; 7U1 and Cth grades, Miss
Carpenter, teacher; High school; 5U1
grade, Miss Feidler, teacher; 2nd
grade, Miss Larson, teacher; 5th and
4th grades, Miss Wassom, teacher.
Tho 7th grade, Central, aud the 6th
grade, Central, were awarded flags for
having the highest percent of attend
ance and for being perfect in punctual
ity. Parents are invited to visit tho
schools. It is a source of inspiration
to teachers and pupils alike to have
frequont visits from tho parents.
Respectfully submitted,
D. W, IIayrs, Supt. of city schools
