CONSTITUTION OF THE SOMERVILLE TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION.
I. NAME.
This Association shall be known as the Somerville Teachers' Association.
II. OBJECTS.
The objects of this Association shall be to unite all teachers of Somerville into one organized body of professional workers for the welfare and progress of the public schools, to consider the aspects of education, to study its principles, to improve its methods, and to advance teaching as a profession.
III. PRINCIPLES.
This Association holds :-
1. That the highest end of education is the formation of character.
2. That this end is to be attained through the complete and harmonious development of the human being in his threefold nature,-physical, intellectual, and moral.
3. That intellectual development depends upon the con- scious self-activity of the individual in the exercise of all the fac- ulties of perception, thought, and expression.
4. That a system of education should furnish such instruc- tion and training as shall stimulate all the energies of the child in their natural order and at the proper time, by means of appli-

ances, material, and subjects of instruction adapted to his vary- ing powers.
5. That the child is of more importance than the school; that the natural growth of the child in his threefold character should never be subordinated to the maintenance of an organi- zation or machine.
6. That we all, being members of one body, and realizing the importance of each and every one to the whole system, hold it to be our duty to give to one another all the sympathy, aid, and co-operation in our power, and so far as the opportunities may permit, to familiarize ourselves with the aims, principles, and methods of the several departments of our school system, in so far as such knowledge may contribute to the general welfare and progress, and render our individual work more effective.
IV. OFFICERS.
1. The officers of the Association shall be a President, two Vice-Presidents, and a Secretary-Treasurer, who, with fifteen other members, shall constitute the Executive Committee. Each high school, each grammar school, and one of the smaller schools in each district shall be represented on this committee.
