State Teachers | To Outline Work Here On Mar. 28 Details of what the state legis- lature *will be asked by the Flor- ida Educational Association to Jegislate will be submitted to Monroe County teachers and tax- Payers at a meeting to be held in Key West High School on March 28. Willard M. Albury, superin- tendent of public instruction, said today he had asked Mrs. Eunice Holden, president of Florida Educational Association, and James Rickards, executive secre- tary of the organization, to come to Key West and explain the legislative program to the teach- ers and taxpayers of the county. | Albury asked Mrs.‘Holden and Richards when they addressed the meeting last week at Miami of the teachers of three coun- ties, Broward, Dade and Monroe. The meeting was held in Edison High School in Miami, and Mrs. Holden and Rickards addressed the teachers. “Among the things that the state association plans to ask the legislature to adopt is an in- crease in salaries and teachers,” Albury said. “Since this affects the taxpayers of the State I felt it would be a good idea to have the details of the plan explained in Key West.
