Don’t neglect it- It is important that if these reports are made at all they be made promptly. Teachers, let me wish you all a happy and successful New Year. Upon a clean, fair page we all commence the record of another year. From first to last may each inscription be indicative of a noble sympathetic nature. The State Teacher’s Association was an enjoyable affair. There were perhaps a thousand teachers in attendance. A spirit of enthusiasm and a feeling of mutual good will seemed to pervade the whole assembly and all its deliberations and discussions were without jar or wrangle. The papers read were well prepared and ably discussed. In short it was .a gathering which did credit both to the intelligence and public spirit of Indiana's educators, and one which will ever be pleasantly remembered by those fortunate enough to be present.
