It has been the custom to conduct
S . .o
annual joint meeting of the two branches
of the Parish Teachers' Association. On
account of hotel facilities and the expense
attached to holding the meeting in Don
I aldsonville as on previous occasions, we
have decided to hold the meeting at Gon
zales and ask the teachers of this section
to go to Burnside on the boat, from which
place they will be transported to the meet
ing place at no expense to them.
