"I will say In conclusion," says Mr. Cole, "that I am retired but have always had a warm place in my affections for the Teachers' association and especially the good people of Richmond and the teachers in the public schools with whom I labored for 16 years. "In writing up this report, I only give It as I remembered; no doubt there are some errors, but acknowledge my memory is very treacherous, as I am now 92 years young." "With best wishes to the music teachers of Indiana, I am yours truly G. M. COLE. Pasadena, Cal.
