RAILROAD RATES AND TICKET COXDI- TIOXs. The railway lines of the Central Passenger Asso- ciation and of the Trunk Line Passenger Associa- tion have authorized a round-trip rate of one and one-half fare from all points in their respective territories outside of 100 miles from Cleveland. These associations include the territory lying west of New York and Albany, east of St. Louis. Peoria, and Chicago, and north of the Ohio and Potomac rivers. Wherever passenger . rates have recently been reduced from 3 to 2 cents per mile, the con- vention rate is approximately the same as the rate of one fare for the round trip formerly granted on the basis of 3 cents per mile. Application has been made for four dates of sale, including Sunday, in the territory of the Central Pas- senger Association, viz, June 26, 27, 28, 29, with cor- responding dates in Trunk Line territory. Application for, extension of tickets for return to September 1 has been made, and also for arrange- ments by which the validation of the return portion of the ticket shall be limited to bona fide members of the association. The above applications can not be acted upon finally by the Central Passenger Association in time to include announcement in this programme. Infor- mation on these points may be obtained from the local ticket agents of the interested railway lines. The Trans-Continental Passenger Association has granted a round-trip rate of $72.50 from California, Oregon, and North Pacific coast points to Chicago, 111. — from California points $6.7.50 to St. Louis, Memphis, and New Orleans — with ten days' limit on the going trip and ninety days from date of sale for the final return limit. From Sr. Louis and Chicago 4 to Cleveland and return the one and one-half fare granted by the Central Passenger Association will apply and may be made available from point >f starting. These rates will apply via certain diverse transcontinental lines, with the usual arbitrary ad- dition if route is selected one way via Portland, Ore^. The dates of sale from California points will be June 22-28, inclusive ; from North Pacific coast points, June 19 and 20. Stop-overs will be allowed at and west of Chicago, St. Louis, Memphis, and New Orleans on going trip within going transit limit, and on return trip within final return limit, except that no stop-overs will be allowed in California on going trip. No special rates have yet been made from territory east of Pacific coast points and west of New Orleans. St. Louis, and Chicago, excepting that the usual summer tourist rates will be in effect. Application for special rates from this territory has been made, however, and while it is confidently expected they will be granted, no action can be secured in time for announcement in this programme. To secure stop-overs, application should be made to the train conductor before the ticket coupon covering that part of the journey is removed. At certain points specified in ticket contract, tickets must be deposited with the joint agent at stop-over point. Passenger conductors will furnish ticket holders with all information governing these regulations. For information not given above apply to local ticket agents. In all cases the purchaser should read the con- tract on ticket and secure from the selling agent explanations of any provisions not fully understood. This will prevent errors which are always embarrass- ing and often impossible to correct later. Persons who have baggage and who are not defi- nitely located in advance should hold their checks until accommodations have been secured. REGISTRATION. All who attend the Cleveland convention should register on arrival at the National Educational Asso- ciation registration bureau, new post-office building, and secure their badges, in order that they may avail themselves of the special privileges accorded members of the association.

Closing exercises of the convention. SPECIAL NOTICES. At the session on Monday, June 29, there will be a demonstration, showing how the Indian Office de- sires commencement exercises conducted. The demon- stration will be a repetition of certain features of the commencement at the Indian Industrial School, Carlisle, Pa. An especially interesting and instruc- tive feature will be the exercise entitled " My People," led by Miss Elizabeth Penny, assisted by pupils of the Nez Perce band of Indians dressed in tribal costume, who will illustrate the ceremony of the " medicine man " and other distinctive tribal customs. This exercise will contrast the home life and customs of the Indian in his native condition with that of a graduate of a Government school, and will be a forcible illustration of what education is doing to prepare the Indian for citizenship. Mrs. Angel De Cora Dietz, instructor in native Indian art, Carlisle Indian School, Carlisle, Pa., will display specimens of her pupils' work, showing what the Office is doing for the preservation of Indian art, and will explain to the teachers how best to carry on this work in the schools. She will also give a demonstration of weaving, with a class of Indian children and native looms, showing how the Office is teaching the pupils to make practical application 10 of their native designs in the manufacture of rugs of Persian and other weaves in common use. This will eventually not only open up a larger field for the sale of the products of the Indian, but will enable him to make a practical contribution of the native art of America to the art of the world. Specimens of class-room and industrial work, and of the native arts and crafts of the Indians, will be on exhibition in the First Baptist Church. The exhibit will be a partial reproduction of the exhibit at the Jamestown Exposition, and will be open to the public during the convention. A class of children from the Mount Pleasant Indian School, Mount Pleasant, Mich., under the di- rection of Miss Ruth K. Irwin, teacher, will render selections of native music. In addition to the sessions of the Indian Depart- ment, and the general sessions of , the N. E. A., em- ployees are requested to attend as many as possible of the sessions of the kindergarten, elementary, child study, manual training, and agricultural depart- ments of the association, with a view to obtaining suggestions that may be applied to their work. The president of the department of secondary education extends a special invitation to Indian workers to attend a session of that department, to be held on Tuesday afternoon. June 30. and it is suggested that all who may accept this courtesy attend in a body. A topic of special interest to Indian workers, entitled "A Shifting of Ideals Respecting the Effi- ciency of Formal Culture Studies for all Pupils." is to be discussed at this session. The exercises of convention week will be closed on Friday afternoon. July 3. by an outdoor athletic entertainment by children of the primary and gram- mar grades, under the auspices of the Cleveland executive committee, in Rockefeller Park, where a natural amphitheater affords accommodations for many thousand spectators. The children under the direction of Mr George W. Ehler. supervisor of physical training of the city schools of Cleveland, will give a series of rhythmical folk games illustrat- ing regular daily school exercises of the children from the first to the eighth grades. Thousands of school children will take part. Following these games will be various other exhibitions of physical training, closing with a series of athletic events illustrative of the latest development of playground exer- cises and various types of healthful physical school training.

Cleveland is said to produce a greater variety of manufactures than any other American city, it being estimated that 125,000 different articles come from its 3,500 shops. Arrangements are being made with many of these great shops, mills, and manufactures to open their doors to those wearing association membership badges. As many of these establish- ments are the largest of their kind, and represent a great variety of manufacturing methods, much may be learned on these visits which will be of special value to employees in the Indian School Service.
