Excerpt from The Journal of the Proceedings of the Third Annual Meeting of the National Teachers' Association, Held in Buffalo, N. Y., August 8, 9 and 10, 1860 In consequence of an arrangement made with the American Normal School Association, the National Teachers' Association assembled in the American Hall, at 3 o'clock, p. m. The Association was called to order by the President, J. W. Bulkley, Esq. As an address of welcome had been delivered by his Honor the Mayor, to the Association in connection with the Normal Association, which convened the day previous, and was responded to by the President, further ceremonies were omitted. By request, the Constitution of the Association was read by the Secretary. On motion, Mr. Pomroy, of Buffalo, was chosen Local and Assistant Secretary, for registering names, and for receiving applicants for membership. The President then delivered his inaugural address, in which he gave a clear and impressive explanation of the objects and mission of this Association. On motion of Mr. Roberts, of Penn., the thanks of the Association were unanimously tendered to the President for his address; and a copy solicited for publication in the educational journals. A communication was received and read, from Wellington Mecch, inviting the members of the Association to attend the Theater, to see the grand spectacle of Faustus, at half the usual price of admission; which, on motion, was laid upon the table. On motion of Mr. Stone, of Illinois, a committee was appointed, consisting of Messrs. Stone, of III., Crosby, of Mass., and Wells, of Chicago, to consider and report upon the several topics embraced in the President's address.
