THE N, E, A. BULLETIN 

It has always been found necessary for the Sec. 
retary’s office to circularize the members of the As. 
sociation at least three times each year. In yigy 
of the fact that the postal laws admit publications 
issued quarterly at second-class rates, the Secretary 
presented to the joint meeting of the Board of Try 
tees and Executive Committee, held at Philadelphia 
February 26, a proposition to establish the N, 8, at 
sulletin, publish it at least quarterly, and enter it ag 
second-class matter. After a full discussion, a regg 
lution was passed instructing him to carry out th 
plan suggested. 

The September number will contain informatig 
for the benefit of those members who were not preg. 
ent at the summer meeting—such as the list of off 
cers elected, the resolutions adopted, and a shop 
summary of the proceedings of the meeting, Th 
December number will contain the program and ap 
nouncements for the meeting of the Department ¢ 
Superintendence. The March number will contah 
a summary of the business transacted at the superip 
tendents’ meeting, and a general outline of the plan 
for the summer meeting. The June number wil 
contain the program and detailed arrangements fy 
the summer meeting.

YOUR SUMMER OUTING 

Practically every teacher plans on some diversion 
for the summer vacation period. Many use the time 
for attending summer schools, and pursuing advanced 
lines of study. Some use the vacation as a period 
for securing a much needed rest after the strenuous 
work of the school year. A change of environment 
offers one of the surest methods of securing this 
rest. Travel is one of the best educators, and, as 
American teachers, we should endeavor to familiar- 
ize ourselves with the beauties of this country. 
While “See America First” is a slogan of one of the 
railroads, it is, nevertheless, good advice to those 
who are engaged in preparing the American youth 
for the duties of citizenship. 

The advantages of a summer in the West should 
not be overlooked in making plans for your vacation. 
While the railroad rates to Salt Lake are favorable 
this year, those which are offered to Yellowstone 
Park, Great Glacier Park, and Pacific Coast points 
are still more favorable, and offer not only the 
opportunity of securing the benefits derived from 
attending the meetings, but also the opportunity of 
seeing some of nature’s most wonderful master- 
pieces. 

The plans which the officers of the various de- 
partments are working out insure a first-class 
program. The fact that the Salt Lake committee has 
appropriated $3,500.00 for publicity in connection 
with the meeting should secure a large attendance. 

An examination of the advantages offered in the 
different sections of the country this summer will 
convince you that the western trip is the one you 
should make.

UTAW’S ACTIVITIES 

Last October, the President and the Secretary of 
the National Education Association spent two days 
at Salt Lake City, investigating the arrangements 
which were being made to entertain the Association 
in case that city should be chosen. They found that 
the leading men of the city and state were actively 
interesting themselves in the arrangements which 
should be made. 


So far as meeting-places are concerned, Salt Lake 
City is unique, and can accommodate a convention 
like ours, with its many departmental meetings, with- 
in a smaller radius than any other city in the 
country. The Tabernacle is to be used for the 
general sessions and the visitors are tec receive many 
mtisical treats. The organ in the Tabernacle is one 
of the great organs in this country. 

The interest thruout the state is shown in the 
fact that the legislature has appropriated seven 
thousand dollars for entertainment. This is unprece- 
dented in the history of the Association, and assures 
the teacher of a state-wide welcome. 


OTHER ORGANIZATIONS 

The following societies have made arrangements 
to meet at Salt Lake City on the same dates as the 
National Education Association: 

The American School Peace Leaugue—President, 
James H. Van Sickle, superintendent of schools, 
Springfield, Mass.; secretary, Mrs. Fannie Fern 
Andrews, Boston, Mass. 

School Garden Association of America—President, 
Van Evrie Kilpatrick, New York, N. Y.; secretary, 
Edward J. Brown, Dayton, Ohio. 

The American Association of Collegiate Regis- 
trars—-President, John W. Cravens, Indiana Univer- 
sity, Bloomington, Ind.; secretary, Miss Mary Scott, 
Knox College, Galesburg, IIl. 

The National Committee on Agricultural Educa- 
tion—President, Homer H. Seerley, Iowa State 
Teachers College, Cedar Falls, Ia.; secretary, E. E. 
Balcomb, State Normal and Industrial College, 
Greensboro, N. C. 

Federation of State Teachers Associations—Presi- 
dent, Charles S. Foos, superintendent of schools, 
Reading, Pa.; secretary, W. W. Remington, East

The Philadelphia meeting of the Department of 
Superintendence was the largest in the history of 
that organization. Associated with it were sessions 
of the National Council, and the Department of Nor- 
mal Schools of the National Education Association, 
and of fourteen other organizations. 

All of the meetings were well attended, and while 
sight-seeing was indulged in to some extent, every- 
one present gave evidence of being intent on secur- 
ing all the benefits that the program offered. 

The department voted to hold its next meeting 
at Richmond, Va. It elected officers for the ensuing 
year as follows: President, Ben Blewett, superin- 
tendent of instruction, public schools, St. Louis, Mo.; 
first vice-president, W. E. Ranger, state commis- 
sioner of public schools, Providence, R. I.; second 
vice-president, A. S. Cook, superintendent of Balti- 
more county schools, Townson, Md.; secretary, Anna 
E. Logan, Ohio State Normal School, Oxford, Ohio. 

The Committee on Resolutions, consisting of J. H. 
Francis, of California, J. W. Carr, of New Jersey, 
W. S. Sutton, of Texas, J. H. Phillips, of Alabama, and 
W. M. Vance, of Ohio, submitted the following resc- 
lutions, which were adopted: 


1. Resolved, That the Department of Superin- 
tendence of the National Education Association rec- 
ognizes the vital importance of raising the efficiency 
of the rural schools and strongly urges their super- 
vision by expert, non-political county or dictrict 
superintendents appointed by non-political educa- 
tional boards or commissions. 

2. Resolved, That we favor the continued agita- 
tion, discussion, development, and extension of 
industrial, agricultural, and vocational training and 
guidance for both boys and girls in the schools of 
this country, and believe such work should have the 
encouragement and financial support of national, 
state, and local governments. 

3. Resolved, That we indorse differentiation in 
courses of study in the last two years of grammar- 
school work. 

4. Resolved, That we hold the logical and sane 
education for the American girl of the twentieth 
century to be fully as important as is that for the 
twentieth century boy, and believe that the making 
of courses of study to meet her special needs is of 
sufficient importance to enlist the best thought and 
effort of the most earnest and efficient school men 
and women of our day. 

5. Resolved, That we advocate the wider use of 
the school plant for educational, social, and civic 
purposes up to the point of diminishing returns. 

6. Resolved, That we believe there is urgent

OO 
<Giune-enenateeeseseesessnsnnsnaeesanseossseesaaeeeaeesaeaeeeeaeeasaaeaeeeeaee LL 


need for fuller development and better support of 
night and vacation schools. 

7. Resolved, That we urge our national Congress 
to give the fullest possible recognition of, and finan- 
cial support to, the Bureau of Education now doing 
such excellent work under the supervision of Com- 
missioner Claxton. 

8. Resolved, That we recommend expert surveys 
and investigations of school systems as helpful and 
valuable, when made by broad-minded, constructive 
committees, inspired by right educational motives, 
working under properly constituted authority, and 
wholly free from commercialism. 

9. Resolved, That we commend the action of the 
Department of Superintendence in appointing a Com- 
mittee on Economy of Time in Elementary Education, 
and recommend the continuance of such committee 
with adequate financial support to prosecute its 
work. 

10. Resolved, That while we believe uniformity 
in clerical, administrative, and business phases of 
school work would increase efficiency, we advocate 
such liberality and diversity in strictly educational 
phases as to encourage initiative upon the part of 
superintendents, principals, and teachers in studying 
their particular problems and in providing for the 
complex and varied needs of individual pupils and 
communities. 

11. Resolved, That the educational interests of 
this country are under deep obligation to President 
Dyer and his coworkers for the broad, comprehen- 
sive, truly educational and inspirational program of 
this, one of the best meetings in the history of the 
organization. 

12. Resolved, That we express our sincerest 
thanks for the genuine courtesy and hospitality 
extended to the school people of the nation by 
Superintendent Brumbaugh, the committees, and 
other citizens of Philadelphia. 

13. Resolved, That, recognizing the tremendous 
power of the press in molding public opinion, we 
regard with deepest appreciation the publicity given 
by the newspapers of Philadelphia to the affairs of 
the meeting. 


At the last session, Walter D. Hood, principal of 
the Gilbert High School, Winsted, Conn., offered the 
following resolution, which was carried by unani- 
mous vote: 

Resolved, That the Department of Superintend- 
ence appoint a committee- on the United States 
Bureau of Education, and that this committee co- 
operate with the Commissioner of Education in his 


efforts to secure adequate support for the bureau 
and enlargement of its activities.

Resolved, That the Council recommends to the: 


National Education Association the appointment of a 
committee to devise ways and means by which the 
subject of sex education shall be fitted into the 
curriculum of the normal schools, in order to equip 
teachers for a wise later treatment of the problem 
in the grades. 


RAILROAD CERTIFICATES 

For the Philadelphia meeting of the Department 
of Superintendence, the Trunk Line Association 
granted a rate of a fare and a half contingent upon 
one thousand certificate holders being in attendance 
upon the meeting. This rate was concurred in by 
the New England Passenger Association, and one 
week before the meeting the Southwestern Passenger 

ciation announced its concurrence. Last year, 
yme of the passenger associations had granted re- 

yeed rates to St. Louis on the certificate plan, but 
trey were withdrawn before the meeting, so that 
only persons in the southwestern and western ter- 
ritories were able to secure reduced rates by means 
of certificates. 

When the certificates were presented for valida- 
tion at Philadelphia, it was found that the number 
was falling short of the requirements, and, altho 
strenuous efforts were made to secure the required 
number, they were unavailing, because the teachers 
from the territory granting rates had been careless in 
not asking for certificates, or had preferred to use 
mileage or other forms of transportation. The ac- 
companying table shows in concrete form that the 
fault was with the teachers and not with the rail- 
roads. This table shows a registration of 2,053, with 
43 persons present and presenting certificates who 
were not registered. There were a large number of 
persons (wives of teachers present, and assistants 
in commercial exhibits) who did not register—18 
were counted from the state of Michigan alone—so 
that it is probable that the convention drew to Phil- 
adelphia about 2,500 people, with only 92 of those 
registered living in Philadelphia. Of those who 
registered, however, only 484 had secured certifi- 
cates, of whom 393 bought their certificates in the 
territory in which they resided, and 91 lived in a 
different territory from that in which the certificates 
were purchased. Of this 91, 63 were residents of a 
territory in which certificates were not granted, and 
they took the pains to secure certificates when reach- 
ing certificate-granting territory, in order to help 
the cause along. This showed’a faithfulness on

their part not possessed by the average attendant 
from certificate-granting territory. 

The table shows that the largest percentage of 
failure to secure certificates was in the territory of 
the Trunk Line Association itself. In talking with 
many teachers from that territory, it was found that, 
in many cases, the railroad agents claimed they did 
not have certificates in their possession, and, in 
many other cases, they advised buying special round- 
trip tickets which were on sale, or using mileage. 

The failure to sécure enough certificates so that 
return tickets could be purchased at a reduction 
caused a loss to the members of the Association who 
had secured certificates of $2,616.67. This loss fell 
hardest upon those teachers who were present from 
the territory of the Southwestern Passenger Asso- 
ciation, from which 48 of the 59 had secured certifi-

cates. The failure to obtain a reduced rate returning 
caused a loss to each of them of from $15.00 to $21.75. 
From the territory of the Southeastern Passenger 
Association, the individual losses were from $4.00 to 
$15.00, while from the territory of the Trunk Line 
and the New England Passenger Associations, the in- 
dividual loss varied from $0.75 to $7.00. 

The purpose of giving this information to the 
membership at large is to call attenticn to the facts, 
so that in the future when announcements are made

with regard to railroad rates, and the possibility of 
securing reductions by complying with certain con- 
ditions is shown, the members will realize the neces- 
sity for co-operation. While the saving to members 
living in the territory of two of the associations 
would have been comparatively slight, the loss to the 
members living in the territory of the other two 
associations was considerable by reason of this 
neglect. 


A MILLION DOLLAR FUND 
FOR 
THE NATIONAL EDUCATION 
ASSOCIATION

of the Association, acting for the Board of Direc- 
tors, announce that they have instituted a nation- 
wide campaign to raise ONE MILLION DoLLaRs 
as a PERMANENT INTEREST BEARING Funp to be

AN ALL-TOGETHER CAMPAIGN 
FOR 
A MILLION DOLLAR FUND 





The National Education Association represents 
about one million school officers and teachers in 
the United States. To carry on its work it needs 
a large fund for expert studies and the distribu- 
tion of results to the educators of all grades. 


SOME MATTERS TO BE STUDIED 

Public Expenditures for Education. 

School Administration and Efficiency. 

Qualifications of Superintendents and Teach- 
ers. 

Teachers’ Salaries and Tenure of Office. 

Teachers’ Pensions and Retirement Funds. 

Model School Houses and Equipment. 

Health of Teachers and Pupils. 

Industrial and Vocational Schools. 

. Education and Citizenship. 

THESE SuByEcts APPEAL To You. Your edu- 
cation, salary, health, term of office, and retire- 
ment fund depend on them, and you will certainly 
be willing to pay a small sum to make school 
work easier, the labor more profitable to all, and 
to insure a sure release, with freedom from 
anxious care, at the close of a well-rounded 
period of teaching. Help ‘by sending pledge 
today. 

A PLEDGE FROM EVERY TEACHER AND 
SCHOOL OFFICER 

of one dollar a year for five years would estab- 

lish a splendid fund to be used to help teachers 

and scholars alike. School officers, knowing the 

nature of expert studies, will be glad to con 

tribute to the N. E. A. Fund. 


OC HNANE WHA 


ENLIST YOUR FRIENDS 
Both teachers and officers are urged to enlist 
their friends and friends of education in the 
Fund. 
WORDS OF COMMENDATION.

City, good men and women who will co-operate heartily.
