The coming meeting of the Association will be more than a national meeting-it will be a gathering of the great educators of the world. The meeting will have a special signification to the teachers of Missouri and it is desired that they enjoy all its benefits with as little hindrance as possible. All the sessions will be held in the World's Fair grounds and an admission to the Fair will have to be paid each day by every memb er. Membership certificates will be necessary to gain admission to the daily sessions, receptions and other functions of the Association. To avoid trouble ·and delay in enrolling after reaching the city, the Executive Committee of the N. E. A. has arranged with the World's Fair management for advance enrollment of members on the following - plan: To issue, on the payment of five dollars, a membership certificate to the N. E. · A. and a World's Fair ticket containing ten coupon admissions to the Fair. For five dollars each teacher thus secures a membership in the N. E. A. (two dollars) and ten admissions to the Fair (five dollars). The membership certificates not only secure admission to meetings of all departm ents of the Association, but entitle , the holders to the printed proceedings, which is a bool, of rare value to teachers. These tickets are not transfer-. ' able; they must be used within fifteen days after the date on which they are stamped, which ·date may be i;ny day while the Association is in session; they will not be mailed to members after June 20th. Every teacher will expect to be at the Fair at least ten days, hence this proposition is a clear gain of two dollars to each member. Persons who do not wish to pay in advance for ten admissions to the Fair may secure a membership certificate on payment of two dollars, the regular cost. County commissioners, County superintendents, Superintendents of city and town schools, Presidents of state schools and of colleges are authorized enrollment agents and have full instructions for ordering the certificates and tickets. It is advised that members secure lodging or board and lodging in advance. The local N .. E. A. Executive Com-mittee has listed the hotels, boarding housei:; and several thousand rooms in private families. Write the Secretary at once and indicate what you want and the price you are willing to pay. Address Mr. W. A. Carpenter, Secretary Local Executive Committee, N. E. A., Board o_f Education Building, Ninth and Locust Streets, St. Louis, Mo. Provisions will be made by the Reception Committee for meeting all members at the Union Station, for giving in-formation and rendering assistance in every way possible. The railroad rates will be the special rates made on account of the World's Fai r with the exceptio,1 that tickets of the ten-day limit class will probably be extended to fifteen days. All members should consult local raHway agents be -fore purchasing tickets. For further information write vV. J. HAWKINS, Board of Education Building, St. Louis. MANAGER FOR MISSOURI.
