Book excerpt: Excerpt from Forty-Third Annual Meeting of the Maryland State Teachers Association, 1910 We have reached another mile post in the history of the Maryland State Teachers' Association. A retrospect may not be encouraging, if we consider numbers as the only element of growth. It does appear that the Association is not as large, numerically, as it was a year ago; but let us hope that, in all the other essential elements of growth, there has been steady advancement. The only two places which are considered resorts, where there are abundant hotel facilities - Mountain Lake Park and Ocean City - are located in remote corners of the State. The mountain resort is in Garrett County, about three thousand feet above sea level, and it makes a long and somewhat expensive trip for the great majority who attend; Ocean City, in Worcester County, is Maryland's most famous resort; and it, too, is difficult to reach. Last year at Mountain Lake, the enrollment of members was unprecedented, and the question of defraying the expenses of the meeting was an easy problem to solve. It is a matter worthy of note that Garrett County, in whose territory the Mountain Lake Park meeting was held, furnished more than one hundred of the members at that meeting. Worcester County did not do so well at Ocean City the present year, and we must all feel more or less disappointment, when we see an enrollment of about four hundred at the last meeting of the Association. Inasmuch as benefits of a substantial character result to any town or county where the Association meets, would it not be well for the Executive Committee to ask a guarantee of membership fees, when invitations come for the Association to hold its next meeting at a particular place? The attitude of teachers toward this agency of our school system is not right, so long as the enrollment of members in the Association is less than ten percent, of the number of teachers in actual employment. Under the circumstances, these questions naturally arise, and should be carefully considered before the next meeting, viz: I. Is the time when we are accustomed to hold the meeting - the last week in June - the most favorable? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
