NOTES 


The Oakland Volume of Proceedings will be off the press about February 10 
and will be delivered from Chicago at the rate of seven hundred a day. If any 
member has not received his volume by March 10, please notify the office of the 
Secretary. 

The Yearbook will not be ready for delivery until the latter part of February, 
and should be in the possession of all the members by the 15th of March. 

The monograph on “The Place of Religion in Education” contains 134 pages. 
It may be obtained from the Secretary at thirty cents a copy. We are confident 


that this monograph will play an important part in the solution of this vexed 
question. 


WHO SHOULD ATTEND 


Every superintendent, state, county, or city, should be present at the Detroit 
meeting if physically able to attend. Call the attention of your Board of Education 
to these meetings, and, if you can induce at least one member to attend with you, 
it will not only make your work easier during the coming years, but it will help 
the schools as well. Speak to the Board of the special session at which school- 
board matters will be discussed by representatives from one ocean to the other. 
It will be worth while for a representative of the Board to examine by comparison 
the various lines of school equipment, which will be found in our commercial 
exhibit. The seventh and eighth grades are the problem grades in the schools of 
today. Attendance upon the discussions which will be held on these subjects will 
help a board member to appreciate the suggestions you may make, which will be 
of assistance to you in furthering any of your plans looking toward their re- 
organization. 

This program has much in it that will interest others besides superintendents 
and school-board members. If some member of the teaching staff from every 
system could be present to study the various presentations made from the stand- 
point of the classroom teacher, it could not help but be beneficial to the schools. 
In fact, the program is one that should appeal to every person engaged in teaching, 
but, of course, it would not be practicable for all of the superintendents to close 
all of the schools in order that all of the teachers might receive the benefit which 


they would derive from attending the meetings, but certainly one representative 
should be present.

THRIFT 

The public-school contest on the subject of “Thrift” cleses with January. 
The various schools that have had essay contests should select the three best 
essays, sending them to the county school commissioner, unless the schools are in 
cities of four thousand population or over. The county school commissioner will 
select the five best essays from the schools in the county and send them to the 
state superintendent. At the same time, each city superintendent in a place of 
petween four thousand and ten thousand population will send the best essay to the 
state superintendent. In cities between ten and fifty thousand, the two best essays 
will be sent. In cities of from fifty to one hundred thousand population, the three 
pest essays, and in cities of over one hundred thousand population, four essays 
will be sent, with an additional one for each additional one hundred thousand 
population. . 

During the month of February, all of the essays that are to go to county super- 
jntendents should be rated so that they may reach them by March 1. The county 
and the city superintendent should select those that are to go to the state superin- 
tendent sometime during the month of March, so that the state superintendent 
may receive them by the first of April. The selection of the ten best essays from 
the state will be made during the month of April, so that the month of May can be 
used by the central office in determining the winners thruout the entire country. 
From the reports which have been received by the Secretary, it is probable that 
not less than twenty thousand school children-have already written on the subject. 

In the adult contest, entrants have been received from all states, and the 
number of essays will be practically the same as we received last year in our 
religious essay contest. Numbers will be given the various readers on February 1, 
and all essays in the adult class must be in the possession of the Secretary not 
later than March 1. 


DEPARTMENT OF SUPERINTENDENCE 
RAILWAY ARRANGEMENTS 


The Central Passenger Association, the Trunk Line Association, the New 
England Passenger Association, the Southeastern Passenger Association, and the 
Wetern Passenger Association will all offer open rates for the Detroit meeting. 
The Central Passenger Association, within whose territory Detroit is situated, has 
granted a two-cent-a-mile rate upon which each of the other Associations will 
base their rates. These tickets will be on sale February 19, 20, and 21, and will be 
good returning to reach the original starting point not later than March 1. In 
some cases, the reduction applies only from stations where regular tariffs are on 
file and thru tickets are in stock. Other stations will require at least forty-eight 
hours’ notice to the ticket agent in order that the tickets may be obtained from 
the passenger department of the railroad interested. It is suggested that persons 
should consult their local ticket agents at least one week in advance of the meet- 
ing, so that, in case any misunderstanding has arisen, it may be cleared up in 
time for the reduced rates to be secured. The Southwestern Passenger Association 
will sell tickets February 18, 19, and 20 from points in Missouri and Kansas under 
their jurisdiction and from the western points in Texas, and from other places in 
their territory on the 19th, 20th, and 2ist. The Trans-Continental Passenger 
Association announces that their regular nine-months’ tourist ticket approximates 
two cents a mile or about one and one-third fare for the round trip, and advises 
the members living in that territory to use it as the cheapest obtainable rate.

DETROIT NOTES 

Detroit uses eastern time. Persons in attendance upon the meeting wy 
please bear that in mind. Situated within the territory of railroads using centry 
time, the local time will be one hour ahead of most of your watches. 

Hotels Statler and Tuller have been announced as joint headquarters. They 
are one block off Woodward Avenue, the main thorofare of the city, and aboy 
one-half mile from the Arcadia, where the main meetings of the department wij 
be held. 

It was impossible to secure a single place large enough for our commercigj 
exhibit. It will, therefore, be divided between the Roof Garden of the Hotel Tulle 
and the Convention Hall Floor of the Pontchartrain. The exhibit this year will he 
fully up to the standard of the others which we have held. 

The registration will be held as follows: Monday and Tuesday, we wij 
register at the Pontchartrain as well as at the Statler. This is to accommodate 
those persons who have hotel asignments in the neighborhood of the Pontchartraijy 
and who may desire to attend the meetings that are held elsewhere than at the 
Statler. Registration headquarters will be open at the Statler from Sunday noop, 
February 20, until Friday evening, February 25. 

The envelope which will be received on registration will contain not only 
the program but a booklet which has been issued by the Board of Education, an 
one from the Detroit Board of Commerce, and several cards of invitation to repre. | 
sentative industrial and commercial institutions of the city. 

The Detroit Women Principals’ Club will tender an informal reception at the 
Hotel Tuller, Tuesday afternoon, February 22, from four to six o’clock, to which : 
all members are invited. 

The Twentieth Century Club of Detroit will tender a reception to the women | 
visitors at the home of the Twentieth Century Club, corner Witherell and Columbia | 
Streets, Wednesday afternoon, from four to six o’clock. 

There will be a gymnastic demonstration participated in by both boys and 
girls of the grade and high schools of Detroit under the direction of Ethel Perrin, 
Director of Physical Training, Public Schools, in the Y. M. C. A. Gymnasium, 
Wednesday afternoon, at half-past four o’clock. About four hundred school chil- 
dren will participate in the various exercises that will be given. 

The Detroit Museum of Art contains a goodly collection of valuable paintings © 
and sculpture. A reception will be tendered the members of the Association dur- 
ing the week and it is probable that it will be held Thursday afternoon, at half- | 
past four. 

In addition to the dinners listed in the program, we have received notices of 
the following: 

The dinner of the University of Chicago alumni will be held Tuesday at six 
o’clock at the Hotel Tuller, and the dinner of the Columbia University alumni will | 
be held Tuesday at six o’clock at the Hotel Statler. 

The Western Michigan Round Tables will dine at the Statler on Thursday at 
six o’clock, and the directors of educational research will dine at the same hotel 
at the same time. 

A number of other dinners are in process of arrangement and the times and 
places will be indicated on our program. 

The Detroit committee having in charge the arrangements for the meeting of 
the Association consists of: Charles E. Chadsey, Superintendent of Schools, General 
Chairman; Frank L. Cody, Assistant Superintendent of Schools, in charge of hotels

A larger advance hotel registration than usual has been made. However, 
Detroit can take care of all that may come, even tho advance reservations have 
peen overlooked. While we list in this Bulletin the various Detroit hotels, if you 
desire to make advance reservations and have not already done so, it is suggested 
that you write directly to Assistant Superintendent Cody, of Detroit, telling him 
the kind of reservation you desire, and he will take care of you. If you do not 
make a reservation in advance, you will find Mr. Cody and his committee at the 
Hotel Statler ready to furnish you with the information which you will need when 
you arrive.
