ine concluding one of the local
teachers' meetings, which have Been
held in . various parts of the county
during the winter, will be conducted
irt Dallas, Saturday, April 1, beginning
at 10 a. m., and It will be by far the
most interesting and valuable of the
entire series. The local teachers will
play host on that day, and they are
already very busy laying plans for the
proper entertainment of their visitors.
They will provide a' bountiful lunch
eon during" the noon , hour, and will
find many other ways of making the
day a pleasant one.
It is confidently expected that the
attendance will include practically
every teacher in Polk County. Inas
much as It is the final gathering of
the school year, and also from the fact
that it will be centrally located and
easily accessible from all directions by
rail, it may be safely assumed that
every blrch-wlelder In all the country
side around will be there to add their
names to the roster. Superintendent
Seymour is urging .all to come, and
calls attention to the fact that under
the existing train schedules teachers
can reach Dallas from any point not
later than 11:20 a. m., so that at least
they will be in time for luncheon and
the afternoon session.
It Is Intended to hold the meeting in
the assembly room of the" new high
school building, which is especially
adapted to such purposes.
The leading educators of the state
have accepted an invitation to appear
on the program and speak on topics
of vital Importance to the teacher,
and there will be no lack of interesting
and instructive features. The pro
gram, as already outlined, is as fol
lows:
10:00 a. m. "Working With a Defi
nite Aim," J. W. Livingston.
10:15 a. m. "Practical Work in
Arithmetic," President J. H. Acker
