DUBUQUE TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION. Formed in September of 1921, the Association's goals were to:
promote the interests of the teachers' profession,
to create a feeling of fellowship among the teachers,
and to stimulate in community a deeper sense of the
importance of the interests which they represent.
The officers consisted of a council of five members. One member was to be chosen from the primary, intermediate, grammar, high school and principals. Special teachers were to serve one year were elected by ballot at meetings of the schools on the second Tuesday of September. Miss Stoltebaum was elected secretary while Thomas J. IRISH was chairman of the board.
This organization evolved into the DUBUQUE EDUCATION ASSOCIATION.
