A BULLETIN —— OOS DEPARTMENT OF SUPERINTENDENCE AN OPEN LETTER Dear Reader: You are cordially invited to attend the meeting of the Department of Superjp. tendence, which will be held at Cincinnati, Ohio, February 22-27. The people g | Cincinnati have made plans to extend an extremely cordial welcome. Over sixteen hundred advance hotel registrations have already been made for the Cincinnati meeting. This Bulletin contains its program as well as those of the other organization which will meet at the same place and time. An examination of these program; will show that they interest nearly every person who is in any way gop. nected with educational activities. Every state, county, or city superintendent of schools should be present. There is much in the program that will attrag administrators and teachers in colleges and normal schools. High-School teacher will be especially occupied with the meetings of the Commission on the Reorganiza. tion of Secondary Education, and the elementary-school teacher will find much material that will be interesting in the various programs. School boards shoulj be represented in goodly number, for many of the topics discussed have ap important relationship to their duties. In fact, if every public-school systep could be represented by a member of the board, the superintendent, a high-schooj teacher, and an elementary-school teacher, the system would be greatly benefited by the meeting, as each would view the presentations from a different standpoint, In addition to the program, the Commercial Exhibit, which will be held in the North Wing of the Music Hall, will be a special attraction. Besides the strictly commercial exhibits, booths will be prepared for a Library Exhibit of the Bureay of Education at Washington, for an exhibit by the National Child Labor Con. mittee, and for the Educational Press Association. We trust to have the pleasure of registering you at the headquarters, Hote Gibson. NATIONAL EDUCATION ASSOCIATION, D. W. Springer, Secretary.

A BULLETIN 3 SS ::°0 Ol™0505 Qe RAILWAY ARRANGEMENTS Cincinnati is located on the border-line between the territory of the Central passenger Association and that of the Southeastern Passenger Association. Both Associations have granted open reduced rates in connection with the meeting. From the territory of the Central Passenger Association, round-trip tickets will be sold February 20, 21, and 22, with final return limit to midnight of March 3. From the territory of the Southeastern Passenger Association, tickets will be sold on the 20th, 2ist, and 22nd of February, and for trains scheduled to reach Cincinnati before noon of February 23. The round-trip must be completed prior to midnight of March 3. The Trunk Line Association, which joins the Central and the Southeastern Passenger Associations on the East, has also granted an open rate based upon the concessions of the other two Associations, tickets to be sold on the same dates. The New England Passenger Association will also sell open round-trip tickets at reduced fare with this qualification: “Reductions apply only from stations where tariffs are on file and thru tickets are in stock. Other stations will require not less than forty-eight hours’ notice to the ticket agent, so that fares and tickets may be obtained from the general passenger departments of the railroads interested. Reductions will not apply on the Bangor & Aroostock Railroad.” Tickets will be sold on the same dates. The Southwestern Passenger Association offers an open round-trip rate from their territory. Tickets will be on sale February 19, 20, and 21, except that from points in Texas on and west of a line drawn thru Big Springs, Amarillo, Hagle Pass, and Del Rio, tickets will be on sale February 18, 19, and 20. Return limit, midnight of March 3. The Western Passenger Association, covering a territory in which, by state law, the regular railroad rate is two cents a mile, has discontinued the making of open rates for conventions, for the purpose of saving the expense involved in printing tariff sheets, which must be provided each time such a rate is granted. It will, therefore, be necessary for members residing in the territory of the Western Passenger Association to purchase round-trip tickets to Chicago, Joliet, Ottawa, Peoria, Quincy, and Alton, in Illinois; Keokuk and Burlington, in Iowa; or Hanni- bal and St. Louis, in Missouri. These tickets should be round-trip tickets, as on March 1 there will probably be an increase in interstate fares, in this territory, due to a revision of tariff schedules. At any one of these points round-trip tickets can be purchased to Cincinnati at the reduced rate. The Trans-Continental Passenger Association, covering the extreme western part of the country, offers the regular nine months’ tourist ticket as the best available rate. These may be secured to Cincinnati. IT IS SUGGESTED THAT EXCEPT IN THE LARGER PLACES IT WOULD BE WELL FOR ALL MEMBERS TO CONSULT THE LOCAL TICKET AGENT A FEW DAYS IN ADVANCE OF LEAVING. LOCAL NOTICES Plans for the entertainment of the Department of Superintendence have been worked out under the direction of Randall J. Condon, Superintendent of Schools, Cincinnati, who has been ably assisted in this work by numerous members of the city’s educational staff and by the Convention and Publicity Committee of the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce. ‘ In line with the policy of the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce that the enter- tainment and convenience of the guests at the Convention shall be well looked after, arrangements are being made so that each of the three thousand guests will find his individual comfort looked after and not feel neglected. When the Depart- THE N. BEB. A BULLETIN ———XX———————ssXNa*—————__>>>aa_al=—_NTE"EE_, ment of Superintendence and the members of the various other bodies meeting jp conjunction with it assemble in the Queen City; they will discover that preparations Co’ of an unusual sort have been made to see that they lack nothing for their info). Co mation, convenience, and entertainment. Information Bureaus will be established at the railroad stations, each rendereg conspicuous by a large sign. Bureaus will also be installed at the Hotel Gibgop and at the Music Hall. At each of these Bureaus will be a competent committe. familiar with Cincinnati. At these Bureaus booklets will be supplied which wij contain complete information about Cincinnati. Ushers, guides, reception com. mittees, and the like will all be provided from among Cincinnati’s educational stag A varied program of entertainment will be provided including the following features: An auto ride about town will be tendered the visitors on Tuesday afternoon, leaving Hotel Gibson at three o’clock. Receptions will be held from three-thirty to six o’clock at the Rookwood Pottery, the Art Museum, and the home of Mr, ang Mrs. Charles P. Taft, where an opportunity will be offered to see their fing collection of pictures and other works of art. Wednesday afternoon, from four to six o’clock, the visitors will inspect the new four-million-dollar municipal hospital of Cincinnati, which is to be formally opened on February 20. They will be entertained at the nurses’ home and will be taken over the great institution by competent guides. Wednesday evening, at half-past five o’clock, the Cincinnati High School Teachers Association will give a dinner in honor of the visiting teachers in the lunch room of the Woodward High School. The dinner will be one dollar per person and will be in charge of an experienced caterer. Acceptance cards will be available in the main hall of meet- ing-places, and should be sent in not later than Tuesday evening. The speaker of the evening will be William C. Bagley, of the University of Illinois. A reception will be given by the Woman’s Club, the College Club, and the Women Teachers’ Association on Thursday afternoon from four to six o'clock. On Thursday evening, a complimentary concert will be given by the May Festival Chorus and the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra in the Music Hall. This will be given with full orchestra and children’s chorus, just as the famous May Festivals which are held biennially, and will be the big entertainment of the week. An inspection of the Union Central Building, the tallest outside of New York City, will be made Friday, if the work of the Convention permits. Friday evening will be left open to the individual preference of the visitors, tho some formal affair will doubtless be prepared for those who would otherwise merely linger around the hotels. An invitation has been extended by the National Cash Register Company, of Dayton, to visit their plant on Saturday, February 27, for the purpose of inspecting the social welfare and educational activities conducted by the company. — Co a ee oie) a ae ae Geet Qk io. eae Seo ee of t the We do | tho tion tion Dec Assistant Superintendent Edward D.

Admission to all meetings of the Departments of the National Education Association is by badge. Each of the other organizations determines in its own manner the basis of admission. We desire that all persons attending any of the meetings of the organization, who do not live in Cincinnati, shall register at the headquarters in the Gibson, even tho they are not members of the National Education Association. This registra- tion is needed for reports which we file with the various transportation associa- tions and has a bearing upon securing special rates for our meetings. Considerable interest is being manifested in the contest announced in the December Bulletin, wherein was offered a prize of one thousand dollars for the best essay on “The Essential Place of Religion in Education, with an Outline of a Plan for Introducing Religious Teaching into the Public Schools.” Already requests for detailed information have been received from more than two hundred persons in every section of the country, and more are coming each day. The University of Chicago Press began shipments of the St. Paul Volume of Proceedings on January 16. They are being sent out at the rate of about six hundred a day. Every member of the Association whose dues have been paid should receive a copy not later than February 10. If yours has not reached you by February 15, please drop a postal-card to the Secretary notifying him of that fact. The delivery of the Yearbook will follow immediately upon the Volume of Proceedings, and should reach the active members of the Association sometime during the month of February. THE N. EB. A BULLETIN INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS OF EDUCATION NATIONAL EDUCATION ASSOCIATION OAKLAND, CAL., AUG. 16-28, 1915 If you have not already planned to attend the summer meeting of the National Education Association, an affirmative decision should be made jp, mediately, for three reasons. Many of our teachers are not as well acquainted with their own country , they should be. They have become localized in their views. More teachers toy Europe every summer than systematically study America. The West is a grey country in itself. The scenery is grand. The initiative which has been displayeg by its people is wonderful. There you will find dry farming, and irrigation at i best. Even the deserts and the bad lands are interesting. Every teacher wy makes the trip will find it a liberal education. This reason would apply, you gay to a visit at any time. In the second place, two expositions will be in progress in California this yea There you will find the products of the world displayed to a greater extent thy in any other place you will be privileged to visit. Those expositions will be mor than museums or laboratories to the teacher who has an inquiring mind. Leaving out of account their artistic setting, which is wonderful, no teacher can afford miss the opportunity which they furnish for study. But, you say, that can all seen at any time during the life of the exposition. The International Congress of Education has been planned on a more extensiy scale than any educational meeting which has been held in this country. Not on will the National Education Association, with its twenty departments, be in sessin at this time, but about twenty other Educational organizaions will hold meeting during the month of August. The schedule is so arranged that teachers will enabled to devote part of their time to the Congress and part of their time to th Exposition. During the time of the Congress more attention will be paid to teacher by exposition officials and local committees than at any other period of th exposition season. In several letters we have been asked why the Congress wa fixed for August instead of July as usual. The change in date was made in orde that those teachers who must necessarily attend summer schools may have th privilege of attending the meetings:of the National Education Association im mediately following the summer school term. Special invitations have been extended by the cities of Portland, Seattle, ani Los Angeles to teachers who will make the western trip this summer. The Apri Bulletin will be largely devoted to matters of interest in connection with th meeting. Joseph Caine, Secretary of the Commercial Club, Oakland, Cal., is chair man of the local Committee on Arrangements, and all communications concerning local matters should be addressed to him. Ohio seems to be leading in preliminary preparations. They are arranging car parties of teachers by counties. It is a good plan as it insures a congenial crowd. The idea is not patented. Other states will please copy. THE N. EB. A BULLETIN _———_—__ EEE, DEPARTMENT OF SUPERINTENDENCE President—Henry Snyder, Superintendent of Schools, Jersey City, N. J. First Vice-President—Paul W.
