June 1915 Whole Number 15 Entered as second-class matter March 22, 1913, at the post-office at Ann Arbor, Michigan, under the Act of August 24, 1912. Published September, December, January, February, April and June, by the National Education Association of the United States. Office of publication, Ann Arbor, Michigan. (a ——— INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS OF EDUCATION—NATIONAL EDUCATION ASSOCIATION, OAKLAND, CAL., AUGUST 16-28, 1915 ——————————————eeE=s=qammries=_=_muquea_=_e_e_eS___OOO esc == << ee NOTES The Proceedings of the\Department of Superintendence have been printed as a separate of 245 pages, numbered in the N. E. A. Bulletin series as Volume III, No. 6, May, 1915. Copies of the same may be secured by members or others by remitting twenty-five cents to the Secretary, Ann Arbor, Mich. Can you use more of the June Bulletins in advertising the Oakland meeting? If so, send a request to the Secretary stating the number desired. Ne better way of spending the summer vacation can be imagined than taking a trip for the purpose of studying the western part of our country, studying the two Fairs at San Diego and San Francisco and attending the meetings of the National Education Association at Oakland. .Such a trip would be worth more to any teacher than a summer abroad or a course in a summer school. The returns from the straw vote asked for in the April Bulletin concerning the prospective change in the form of vrinting the Proceedings shows that of the members who have so far reported 52 per cent favor the present bound volume of the Proceedings, 24 per cent favor the magazine form, and 24 per cent would prefer to pay an extra dollar and receive the magazine form as well as the bound yolume. It is noticeable that the older members of the Association almost uniformly favor the bound volume while those who have joined in recent years are more apt to favor the magazine or combined form. It will be noted that it is not proposed to do away with the bound volume, but merely if the wishes of the membership seem to indicate it desirable, to provide the Proceedings in either form for the regular two dollar fee or in both forms for an additional dollar. If you are contemplating going to California this summer, ask your ticket agent for the printed matter of the various routes that are available. You should study your trip in advance of buying your ticket. There are many free side trips which can be secured if asked for at the time of purchasing the ticket which will have to be paid for if they are not included in the original ticket. Immediately on arrival at Oakland, you should register at the headquarters, which will be located in the Polytechnic Business College. There you will secure your badge, a program, and any information which may be desired. These head- quarters will be opened August 1. Prior to that time, they will be found at the City Hall. Hon, Franklin K. Lane, Secretary of the Interior, Washington, D. C., who has just returned from a trip to the Coast, reports that the educational exhibit to be seen at the Panama-Pacific Exposition is the best that he has ever seen at any of our Expositions. THE N. BE. A BULLETIN aici An interesting feature of the general sessions will be the preliminary half. hour devoted to music. At some of these sessions, the audience will be asked to join in singing familiar songs with the idea of furnishing a practical lesson {g what may be done towards furthering the idea of community music. At Other sessions, the music will be furnished by the various orchestras, bands, and choral societies of the Oakland schools. Active members will remember that at five o’clock on Monday afternoon, August 16, following the regular afternoon session, they will meet by states in | their respective state headquarters or, where headquarters are not maintained, at such places as will be designated on the program, for the purpose of selecting g | member of the nominating committee. A number of school boards have taken out institutional memberships {fn the National Education Association and have elected a representative to attend the meeting at Oakland defraying his expenses. We believe this will prove to beg wise investment, and we suggest that it would be well for others to follow thej example. Teachers who may be obliged to make their trip to California earlier than the meeting of the National Education Association will find it to their advantage tp make their headquarters in Oakland during their stay. The rates for room ang board are less than in San Francisco, the climate is more uniform, and the trip across the Bay to reach the Exposition Grounds is an exceedingly exhilarating one The committee having in charge the local arrangements for the N. E. A, meeting may be found at the city hall, Oakland, any time during the summer and wij furnish information as to rooms, board, or any other local affairs, while thoge teachers who desire to take out membership in the N. &. A. and thus receive the volume of Proceedings even tho they cannot be present will find that the Com- mittee on Membership will be glad to serve them at the same place. Don’t forget the special invitations which have been given to the teachers of the country by the school men in Salt Lake City, Seattle, and Portland In all of these places, you will find a hospitable reception at the rooms of the boards of education. In addition to these places, headquarters will be maintained at the Commercial Club Building in Salt Lake City and in the Court House and Public Library at Portland. " Under the auspices of the State Normal School at San Diego, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, the School of American Archeology, and the Montessori Institute, a summer school will be held in San Diego running from July 5 to August 13. This session will offer courses in culture, history, anthrop- ology, American archeology, South American relations, geography, modern literature, primitive arts, mental and physical testing, vocational education, standards in education etc. These courses will be given in the lecture halls and laboratories of the San Diego Exposition by competent specialists. Further information can be secured by addressing Edgar L. Hewett, Dean, Panama-Cali- fornia Exposition, San Diego, Cal. The Committee on the Improvement of Physics Teaching, in the department of science instruction, secured Monograph Five on the “Mechanics of the Sewing Machine” from the Singer Sewing Machine Company, which monograph was delivered to all the members with the St. Paul volume of Proceedings. Thru further negotiations the Singer Company has agreed to issue a chart 36 by 42 inches in size, known as No. 168, showing transparent drawings of the four lock- stitch sewing machines. This chart will be furnished by their agents to schools using their machines without any charge and may be secured by any teacher of physics upon request.

A BULLETIN 3 The Committaee on Exposition has prepared a very valuable survey of the educational exhibits and of other exhibits that are especially interesting to teachers. This will be made part of our regular program. The summer session of the University of California regularly attracts in the neighborhood of three thousand students from practically every section of the eountry. An attempt has been made this year to secure an unusually interesting program, as it was felt that a large number cf teachers would be attracted to California by reason of the Exposition and of the meetings of the National Educa- | tion Association. A request addressed to the University of California, Berkeley, will secure a copy of the announcement for the summer-school session. See your own country and take a trip around the world—in a short time and at a small expense—by visiting the Panama-Pacific Exposition at San Francisco and the Panama-California Exposition at San Diego, to which places the countries of the world have sent their most interesting exhibits and their most interesting le. , " World University—The Panama-Pacific International Exposition may be considered a world university for 1915. The Director-in-Chief, the Chiefs of Departments, the Presidents of the many Congresses, and those appearing upon the several programs might be considered members of the faculty; the Exposition, in fact, all California, a working laboratory; the world at large, the student body. Starting all the nation singing for peace has been proposed by the Appollo Musical Club of Chicago, one of the great choral organizations of the world. As the result of the suggestion the National Choral Peace Jubilee Committee has been established with headquarters in the First National Bank Building, Chicago. It has decided to devote its pilgrimage to the Pacific Coast this summer to this great cause. It will also publish a series of peace songs, some of which will be sung at the opening of some of our general sessions. PRIZE ESSAY CONTEST In response to the announcement that thru the generosity of a resident of California, and in connection with the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, the N. E. A. was able to offer 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,” 1390 letters of inquiry were received, coming from every state but one and from five foreign countries. On receipt of the conditions surrounding the contest, one of which was that essays should be submitted by numbers assigned in advance, 522 persons asked for a number and indicated their intention of presenting essays. These requests came from every state but one. The time for filing essays expires June first and a week before then nearly two hundred essays have been received. Two preliminary readings will be made hefore the essays are turned over to the final Board of Judges, the members of which are: Adelaide Steele Baylor, State Department of Education, Indianapolis, Ind. William T. Foster, President, Reed College, Portland, Ore. Louis Grossmann, President, Teachers Institute, Professor of. Pedagogy and Ethics, Hebrew Union College, Cincinnati, Ohio. John H. Phillips, Superintendent of Schools, Birmingham, Ala. Thomas E. Shields, Editor, Catholic Educational Review, Professor of . Psychology and Education, Catholic University of America, Washington, D.C.

A BULLETIN ee Most of the meetings will be held in the new municipal auditorium, which is one of the finest in the United States and has ‘practically sufficient meeting places to house the entire Association. This auditorium is situated on the bank of Lake Merritt, within easy walking distance of the hotel section, and bids fair to offer the best arrangement for our meetings that we have ever had. Hotels Oakland, Menlo, Harrison, St. Mark, and Key Route Inn are to be used as headquarters, assignments having been made for state headquarters to the frst four named, and the last being utilized by some of the organizations meeting with us as their headquarters. These hotels are within two adjoining blocks. The rates at the headquarters hotels are as follows: HOTEL OAKLAND HOTEL MENLO Single room, with bath . . Double room, with bath $3 .00-$5 .00 Double room, with bath Double room, without bath Single room, without bath Double room rates for one or two persons.

Double room rates for one or two persons. American plan—Rooms $6.00 to $8.00. Extra persons in a room, one dollar each. The Chairmen of the committees on Membership and on Hotels and Head- quarters have their offices in the City Hall and will be glad to wait on teachers who may arrive before the regular registration and information headquarters are opened in the Polytechnic Business College, which will be about August 1. The Hotels and Apartments Association has guaranteed that prices will not be raised during the convention. The local committee has secured plenty of rooms to accommodate any crowd that will be present at prices ranging from $1.00 a day up. The cheaper rooms in the better hotels will be taken early and the hotels are not making specific individual reservations without a deposit of approximately ten per cent. Where this deposit is made the exact reservations can be depended on, but the committee will be able to take care of all at prices not above the regular rates. HEADQUARTERS The registration and information headquarters will be located in the Poly- technic Business College, the entire ground floor of which building will be utilized for this purpose. The Secretary will also have an office in the Auditorium and in the Hotel Oakland. Hotels Oakland, Harrison, Menlo, St. Mark, and Key Route Inn will be used for headquarters by states and organizations meeting with us.

All tickets must be validated before the return is commenced, for which a fee of fifty cents will be charged. Reduced fares will be authorized for the meeting on the certificate plan from all points in Oregon located on the following lines: Corvallis and Eastern Rail- road, Independence and Monmouth Railway, Pacific Railway and Navigation Company, Portland, Eugene, and Eastern Railway, Salem, Falls City, and Western Railway, and Southern Pacific Company for lines in Oregon. Persons desiring to use these tickets instead of the regular Exposition ticket should purchase one way tickets to Oakland or San Francisco on any day from August 12 to 17th, taking a receipt therefor from the selling agent, such receipts when signed and stamped by the joint agent will be honored for return tickets at one-third fare to the original starting-point on any day from August 16th to the 30th inclusive. This will make the round-trip fare available on the certificate plan from Portland, Ore., $26.70, instead of $30.00, the cost of the Exposition ticket. There is a correspond- ing reduction from other points. Special rates and ticket conditions will prevail from points in Arizona, Cali- fornia, and Neveda. Consult your local agent. As all trans-continental lines have issued special printed matter in connection with the Exposition, it is suggested that the teachers secure copies of the same from their ticket agents at an early date, in order to study the various routes that are offered for the purpose of determining which ones offer the most from an educational standpoint. It is necessary for the entire trip to be mapped out in advance of buying the ticket in order to take advantage of all possible oppor- tunities for saving. Many side trips can be secured either free or at a slight cost before the ticket is purchased as compared with the expense involved in buying tickets after the journey is begun. A study of the literature which has been gotten out by the railroads for the Exposition is in itself a fine lesson in geography. The local ticket agent will be able to furnish detailed information as to rates from cities other than those quoted, which are only named to give an idea of the expense. He will also give information concerning the question of sleeping-car rates. A large number of car parties are being arranged in connection with the summer meeting. For a trip of this length, this is the most delightful way in which to travel. If you do not know of anyone who is organizing such a party, speak to your local agent and ask him to secure the information from the railroad company; or, better still, if you know of a few of your friends who are thinking of going, make them the nucleus for a car party and tell your ticket agent about it. INFORMATION FOR ATTENDANTS ON THE N, E. A. CONVENTION 1. All trains entering Oakland will be met by guides bearing distinctive badges, whose duty it will be to give detailed information to members and their friends and to see that they are escorted to reputable lodgings.

The Joint Resolution of Congress inviting foreign nations to participate was passed the last week in February and official notices went to the several nations in the early part of March. War conditions, together with the delayed action by Congress, prevent us from making as complete an announcement concerning foreign speakers as we had hoped to do at this time. While the programs which follow contain the names of some foreign speakers together with the subjects which they will discuss, the list is not complete, but the assurances which we already have indicate that at least the following foreign countries will be repre- sented on the program: Argentine Republic, Canada, China, England, France, Germany, Guatamala, Honduras, Italy, Japan, and the Philippine Islands. Hardly any of the programs which are presented are complete. In some of the Congresses, it is impossible for us to separate the programs into the several sessions that will be held. Almost uniformly, morning, afternoon, and evening sessions will be held each day. The arrangement of the departmental meetings into Congresses on specific topics, confining the sessions of each department to a single day, has been made with the idea of offering the teachers entire days for visiting the Exposition. 12 oe ae hk.
