WESTERN NEBRASKA EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATION.

Supt. Genevieve Richmond, Ogalalla.

     At the time this association was organized April, 1892, it contained, I believe, Dawson, Lincoln, Frontier, Hayes, Chase, Perkins, Keith, Deuel, Cheyenne, Scotts Bluff, Banner and Kimball counties. State Superintendent Goudy and wife were present for the organization in Ogalalla.

     The last meeting was held in Ogalalla, April, 1908. The territory had become so limited by the organization of other associations that it was deemed wise (by superintendents and principals in the counties which remained) to discontinue the association and join, for a time at least, the North Platte Valley association at Bridgeport.

     Accordingly for the year 1910 we belonged to that association.

     At Gothenburg, April 15, 1910, the old W. N. E. A. was revived under the name of the West Central Association including the territory from Grand Island to Sidney along the Union Pacific Rail Road.
