PORTLAND AND MT. HOOD CROWN POINT 


PORTLAND 


“On to the end of the Oregon Trail” is the slogan of American teachers this 
year. The 1917 convention of the National Education Association is to be held in 
Portland, Oregon, July 7-14. With the completion of the new $600,000 municipal 
auditorium, Portland is able to assure the convention of an ideal meeting place. 
The educational forces of the entire Northwest are aglow with enthusiasm. No 
effort will be spared in making the convention one of the most memorable in the 
history of the Association. 

This is the first time that the Old Oregon Territory has ever been opened to 
the teachers of the nation as the meeting place of the National Education Associa- 
tion. The people of that wonderful section are eager that their visitors shall reap 
the full advantages of their trip to a land of such vast resources, of unsurpast 
scenic beauty, and of such rich historic interest.

West of the Cascades are the finest forests in the world. The policy of the 
United States government in setting aside forest-reserves has checkt the destruc- 
tion of timber, and has preserved in the Far West the primeval glory of the 
woods. A single tree of Douglas fir in Oregon often builds a seven-room house. 
Sixteen of the giants of the forest felled in a row reach a mile. An acre of wheat 
jand would have to yield 25 bushels an acre for 300 years to furnish as much 
freight as an acre of Oregon timber. Trails and roads are making these forests 
accessible. 

Portland now has in her $2,000,000 Columbia River*Highway—one of the really 
great scenic drives of the world. This highway was built as a part of a system of 
roads radiating out of Portland in all directions. Skirting the cliffs that overlook 
the Columbia river, the great highway follows the valley from Portland to the 
pase of Mt. Hood. From any one of the numerous stopping places at wayside 
inns, parks, waterfalls, or picturesque arching bridges along the highway, visitors 
may plunge into the forests for hunting, fishing, or nature-study. 

On Larch mountain, and in other well-known places along the Columbia High- 
way the United States Forest Service has prepared sleeping sheds and firewood 
for free use by campers. In some of the 15,580,900 acres of national forests in 
Oregon, lovers of hunting may find some of the best game lands in America. In 
one season it has been estimated that 9000 deer, 150,000 ducks, and 45,000 Chinese 
pheasants have been killed in Oregon. Markt possibilities for amusement also 
lie in the hunting of coons, coyotes, bobcats, badgers, bears, cougars, and wolves. 
While hunting, for recreation, National Education Association delegates will find 
incidentally great pleasure in studying the western methods of reforestation on 
the great areas of burnt-over, and logged-off lands. ° 

Other industries and resources in Oregon, ranking with lumbering and the 
forests, are represented by the celebrated orchards, grazing ranges, power stored 
in waterfalls, salmon-fisheries, and vast wheat-fields. Hood River and Medford 
are centers for two of the most famous fruit sections of Oregon. These sections 
are easily accessible to tourists. 


The Inland Empire, formerly known on the maps as a part of “The Great 
Inland Desert,” has been changed from a desert to an empire by scientific dry 
farming and by great irrigation projects. For three years prior to the World War 
Portland was the leading wheat export market in the world. For one year Seattle 
held this record. The possibilities of both irrigation and indutsrial development 
are indicated by the fact that one-third of the water power in the United States 
is in the Columbia River basin. 


Since the European War began to result in the destruction of ships as well 
as to interfere with the normal building of ships in Europe, a great interest in 
shipbuilding in all the Northwest Coast cities has sprung up. In Portland there 
are actively at work eight big shipbuilding plants. Both the steel and the wooden 
vessels are constructed and launcht. The Northwest is the logical center of this 
new shipbuilding activity because of its vast timber resources. Near these plants 
are some of the finest and most modern jumbering mills in the world. To watch 
the process of a fir tree from six to thirteen feet in diameter being transformed 
from the log into finisht lumber, or into timbers going into a ship, will prove of 
especial interest to teachers. 


In many of the Portland parks and schoolhouses are memorials to Lewis and 
Clark, reminding the visitor that Old Oregon was the final goal of those intrepid 
explorers, who pierst the western wildernesses in the days of Thomas Jefferson, 
and added one more firm claim of the United States to the territory. There 
is no statue in the Northwest that is better known than that of Sacajawea 





8 THE N. EB. A BULLETIN 


—— nn, EEE 
(Sac-a-ja-we’-a), the loyal Shoshine Indian girl, who guided Lewis ang Clark 
on most of their western journey. 

On short automobile rides, or interurban car lines, out of Portland are many 
of the most famous historic landmarks on the Pacific coast. Champoeg (Cham-p¢. 
ig), where the first government under the American flag of the Pacific coagt Wag 
organized, is less than thirty miles from Portland. It was at Champoeg, ip 1843 
that a French settler by the name of F. X. Matthiew cast the deciding ballot when 
a vote was being taken to determine whether it would be better for the ovVernment 
to be organized as American or as British. Mr. Matthiew became a patriotic Amer. 
ican citizen, and lived in Oregon until his death three years ago. 

Oregon City, the actual “End of the Oregon Trail,” and the seat of American 
government and American institutions on the Pacific coast, is virtually a subyrp of 





Portland. Oregon City was a thriving American settlement while California was | 


yet a Mexican possession. This city is further noted as the last home and the 
burial place of Dr. John McLaughlin, first chief factor of the Hudson’s Bay com- 
pany in the West. A movement is now under way to erect a suitable monument 
to the historical importance of Oregon City. While studying the hitsorica} land- 
marks of Oregon City, visitors enjoy looking down over the beautiful Willamett. 
Falls where in ages past, the Indians speared the salmon. These falls now furnish 
power for several of the largest paper mills in the Northwest. 

Old Fort Vancouver where U. S. Grant and “Phil” Sheridan were quartere 
long before they made their fame in the War of the Rebellion, is but six miles from 
the center of Portland’s business section. Visitors to Vancouver now have the 
opportunity of walking or driving over one of the world’s great interstate bridges 
connecting Washington and Oregon on the Pacific Highway. In addition to the 
names of Grant and Sheridan Vancouver people like to point out the quarters where 
at different times such other noted generals as McClelland, Howard, Miles, Pickett, 
and Funston lived while doing military duty in “Old Oregon.” 


It was at Vancouver that John Ball of New Hampshire taught the first term 
of school in American territory west of the Rockies. The first apple tree in the 
Northwest still bears fruit, proudly guarded and cared for by the citizens of 
Vancouver. Visitors to this old tree may read a story rivaling that of the famous 
parent Concord grapevine. In 1824 in London a dinner was given in honor of two 
young Englishmen who were soon to sail for the Pacific posts of the Hudson's 
Bay company. Several of the girls took the seeds from apples on the table and 
put them into the men’s waistcoat pockets. When they reacht Fort Vancouver 
they discovered the apple seeds. They gave them to Dr. McLaughlin’s gardener 
who planted them. From these trees Marcus Whitman secured sprouts to take 
with him to his mission in Walla Walla. The last of the Whitman apple trees 
died ten years ago. 


Astoria, founded by John Jacob Astor in 1811, is on the regular run from 
Portland to the Pacific Beach. St. Paul, where the first Catholic schools in the 
Northwest were founded, is only a short distance south of Portland. Salem, the 
state capitol, was the first stopping place of Jason Lee. Whitman college, and the 
monument to the missionaries who were massacred at Wailatpu (the place of rye 
grass) in 1847, five years after Dr. Whitman had made his famous ride across the 
mountains on his way to Washington, D. C., to prevent the trading of Oregon 
Territory to Great Britain, are near the railway lines over which many delegates 
will come to Portland. 

While the entire Northwest is rich 1n Indian legends, the section about the 
Cascade Locks on the Columbia River Highway, is perhaps of most interest. The 
Bridge of the Gods was once supposed to have archt over the Columbia river at

nan lands in the making. With the mountain sides, seemingly without firmly fixt 
a pan sinking, rising, slipping, and cracking, it is certain that fundamental 
re changes are taking place. In one instance a crack in the mountain side has split 


1843 a giant cedar tree for about 150 of its 200 feet in height. The great tree still stands 
when like a colossus astride the crevice, its two halves 17 feet apart. Chains of small 
Ment lakes have been partially or wholly moved. Forests of petrified trees fallen in 
Mer- creek beds or submerged in the Columbia river tell the story of great changes since 
the river first cut thru the mountains. 
rican It is to be expected that the Indian’s story of the mystic centuries since Old 
rb of Oregon was elevated from the ocean bed would be largly shadow tradition. But the 
| geology of the country confirms their stories in general outline. Once a great

THE A BULEET IN 13 


The National Council of Primary Education will serve luncheon following the 
morning meeting of the Elementary Department, in connection with which there 
will be an informal discussion. 


The Classical Association of the Pacific States will hold a meeting for the 
discussion of problems relating to the teaching of Greek and Latin and to enable 
teachers of the classics from various parts of the country to become acquainted. 
This Association is one of the four Associations of classical teachers among which 
the territory of the United States is divided. It cooperates in the publishing of the 
“Classical Journal.” The sessions to be held at Portland will constitute a special 
meeting of the Association as a whole. 


Arrangements for holding modern language conferences similar to those held 
for the first time in New York last year are being made. The program will consist 
of papers by eminent teachers of modern languages and of round-table discussions 
of practical pedagogical questions. 


The National Federation of College Women will hold its fourth biennial in 
connection with the meeting of the N. E. A., with headquarters at the Multnomah. 
All college women attending the Education Association meeting are invited to 
register and participate in the convention. The program which is being prepared 
includes reports from clubs concerning their activity, symposiums, addresses, 
musical programs, and other features. The Federation is emphasizing three big 
movements this year, namely, Better Films, Vocational Bureaus, Scholarship 
Loan Funds, and the best authorities in the United States will talk on these sub- 
jects, and the national chairmen will report the progress which has been made. 


Beside the organizations named the following societies will hold meetings at 
Portland: American Home Economics Association; Conference on . Extension 
Education; School Garden Association of America; National Council of Teachers of 
English; Federation of State Education Associations; Conference of Deans of 
Women; Congress of Mothers and Parent-Teacher Associations. 


THE WAR AND THE MEETING 


During the last two weeks the secretary has received twenty letters asking 
whether there was any foundation for the rumor that in view of the war the 
Portland meeting would be abandoned. To all such the reply has been given that 
it was not anticipated it would be necessary or even advisable for the meeting to 
be postponed. An effort has been made to secure the most authentic information 
with regard to probable governmental activities during the summer season, and 
while it is impossible to accurately foretell the situation during the early part of 
July, it has become apparent that one of the things most needed in this country at 
the present time is the maintenance of as nearly normal conditions as possible 
during the period when we are changing from a peace basis to a war basis. There 
never has been a time when the opportunity for serious constructive thinking 
with regard to educational problems was needed any more than now. Demands 
are being made on school boards, which, if granted, would release children from the 
schools before arrangements had been made thru which any services they might 
be able to render could be utilized. Loyalty to our country demands that we study 
the problems with which we are confronted, keeping constantly in mind that if 
the war is of short duration the services of the children in our public schools 
will not be needed, except in so far as part of it can be utilized on garden patches 
and on farms, under properly regulated and systemitized conditions and without 
a complete cessation of regular school work. If the war shall be of long duration, 








14 THE N. B&B A BULLETIN 








the services of the children should be directed in channels the value of whi 
shall be determined only after careful investigation and consideration, 4 
scientious study of Preparedness, Patriotism, and Nationalism, which have 


chosen as the key words for the Portland meeting, by the various departmens | 


represented in our Association and its affiliated organizations will be Produetiy, 
of much good. The government is calling to its aid experts in business affairs fron 
all sections of the country, realizing that it is confronted with grave Problems 
Let the schoolmen come together for a similar purpose. Not all who attend cay 
be scheduled as speakers upon the programs, but if each teacher present has care. 
fully studied the questions in advance of the meeting, there will be carrie from the 
meeting, as the result of the formal and informal discussions, suggestions and 
influences which will reach every section of the country during the Next schouj 
year, and it is noticeable that the plans being adopted by the government have todo 
with the future more largely than with the immediate present. The interests at 
the children intrusted to our care demand a representative gathering at Portlang 
and a serious consideration of the present educational situation. 





THE AUDITORIUM 


PORTLAND ARRANGEMENTS 


The secretary made a visit to Portland the last week in March and found pre 
liminary arrangements well under way. At a meeting of the local committees heli 
one evening over two hundred persons were present. State Superintendent 
Churchill and several of his assistants, and Mr. Wilson, Assistant State Superin- 
tendent of Washington, representing Mrs. Preston, were present lending advice. 
Without question the auditorium will be completed in ample time to be tried out in 
advance of our meeting. It is proposed to have a grand symphony concert in the 
auditorium Sunday afternoon, July 8, which day will be observed as educational 
Sunday, and in the morning the topics for consideration in the several churches 
will relate to general problems of education. The secretary met with the executive 
committee of the Rose Festival Association and it is proposed to retain much of 
the material which will be prepared for the annual Rose Carnival which will be 
held June 13 to 15, for use in connection with the meeting of the National Educa- 
cation Association. 

The meeting places for the various departmental and affiliated organization 
meetings are conveniently arranged. The registration and information heat- 
quarters will be located on the first floor of the auditorium where the commercial 
exhibits will also be found. The Multnomah Hotel will be headquarters. The 
executive offices of the secretary will be on the mezzanine floor where will als0 
be found the Portland Committee and the Oregon, Washington, and Idaho head-

One of the most instructive as well as interesting features of the entire week 
will be the open session of the Circuit Court of Multnomah County, which will 
be held Thursday evening at seven o’clock for the purpose of final hearings on 
petitions for naturalization and administering the oath of allegiance to a class of 
one hundred foreigners who will on that occasion become American citizens. This 
will be held preliminary to the regular evening meeting. 

Plenty of hotel accommodations will be found at Portland. The large hotels 
are: Multnomah, Benson, Portland, Imperial, and Oregon. At the first three of 
these hotels accommodations may be secured from three and a half to ten dollars 
a day, and at the last two the rates vary from two and one-half to six dollars. 
The Nortonia hotel is operated on the American plan, its rate being three dollars 
a day. Another group of hotels has accommodations ranging from two to three- 
fifty per day. Still other hotels quote rates of from one to two dollars per day. 
Apartments may be secured at about an average price of fifteen dollars for twelve 
days. Our June Bulletin will contain fuller information with regard to the hotel 
situation. Plan to stay as long as possible. Many delightful side trips are being 
planned after the meeting. 

Those desiring to make definite reservations before then, would do well to 
correspond directly with Superintendent L. R. Alderman, Portland, Ore. 

Special preparations are being made for local excursions and trips to nearby 
points of interest. 





RAILROAD RATES FOR PORTLAND 


Definite action was taken by the Trans-Continental Passenger Association 
April 18 under which special round-table tickets will be sold June 25, 27, and 30, 
July 1 to 6 inclusive, good two months from date of sale, with stop-over privileges 
on both going and returning trips. The rates which have been fixt include the 
validation fee of fifty cents, and are $68 from Chicago; $55.50 from Sioux City, 
Council Bluffs, Omaha, Atchison, Leavenworth, St. Joseph, Kansas City, St. Paul, 
Minneapolis, Duluth, Superior and Winnepeg; $61.50 from Port Arthur; $65.50 
from St. Louis; $75.50 from Memphis, Little Rock, Fort Worth, Dallas, Houston, 
and San Antonio; $72 from Cairo; $66.90 from Oklahoma City; $89.65 from New 
Orleans; $50.50 from Cheyenne, Denver, Colorado Springs, and Pueblo; $70.50 
from Albuquerque and El Paso; $37.50 from Salt Lake City. 








16 HEBER EA BULD BTN 


Se 
The above rates are for tickets going via any regular direct route and return- 


ing via the same or any other regular direct route. Tickets may also be purchast 
at additional expense via indirect routes. These fares apply to the following 
destinations: Aberdeen, Ashford, Astoria, Bellington, Everett, Hoquiam, New 
Westminster, Portland, Prince Roupert, Seattle, Tacoma, Victoria and Vancouyer. 

Persons living within the territory west of Chicago, St. Louis, and New Orleans, 
can secure from the local ticket agent definite information with regard to optional 
and indirect routes. 

Definite action has not been taken by the other Passenger Associations, but 
it is expected that at their meetings held the early part of May these same rates 
will be made the basis of rates from the entire United States, and probably mem- 
bers will be able to secure definite information as to rates from the local ticket 
agents in the eastern half of the country by the latter part of May. 


THE NORTHWEST 


The Portland meeting will afford an opportunity for a large number of our 
teachers to visit the great northwest section for the first time. This is the great 
scenic playground of America, and includes Yellowstone Park, Glacier Nationa} 
Park, Mt. Rainier National Park; Sequoia Park, Crater Lake, Columbia River 
Highway, Rocky Mountain National Park, The Canadian Rockies, and Alaska. 
In fact tickets can be secured so as to add to the above list the Great Lakes, 
Denver, Salt Lake City, Estes National Park, the Grand Canon, and Yosemite, and 
many lesser attractions. A practical geography lesson awaits all who attend the 
meeting. It is impossible in the space of this bulletin to more than enumerate 
the points of interest. All the railroads have prepared attractive literature in 
which each sets forth the beauties of the several points advertised. On a recent 


trip to Portland, the secretary did not have time to traverse the entire Columbia 
River Highway, but the portion which he did see only increases his determination 
to complete the trip next summer. 


MITCHELL’S POINT TUNNEL WAHKEENA FALLS 


Before purchasing tickets make a careful investigation of the various trans- 
portation routes in order that both the going and returning trips may be profitable. 
The ticket-sale has been placed sufficiently early so that persons will have time for 
side trips going as well as returning. The Portland committee have sent out the 
suggestion that by making the terminal Astoria instead of Portland, it will be 
possible for teachers to reach the beaches of the Pacific Ocean without paying 
extra railroad fare. A careful examination of the literature issued by railroads, 
and inquiries addrest to your local ticket agent or representatives of the various 
western lines will secure added suggestions which it will be well to follow.

THE N. BE. A BULLETIN 17 


oO SC S="~  ——ZZOOO 

Not only does nature offer wonderful opportunities for sight-seeing in the 
Northwest, but the work of men in the building of cities, such as Portland, Seattle, 
and Tacoma will be appreciated. Near to Portland—the Rose City—is Mt. Hood. 
Tacoma is the gateway to Rainier National Park and Mt. Tacoma, Seattle is the 
starting-point for trips to Alaska, Victoria, or Vancouver. Each of these cities 
pas a beautiful park and boulevard system. Each has a fine system of schools. 
The Stadium High School at Tacoma with its concrete amphitheatre with a 
capacity of forty thousand persons is one of the most unique schools in the 
country. Just north of Portland is Fort Vancouver, at one time the home of 
Generals Grant and Sheridan. South of Tacoma at American Lake the United 
States Army Division Post and the State National Guard encampment are located, 
and thousands of soldiers will be in training there this summer. At Seattle model 
sanitary markets may be seen. July 5-7 the Seattle Yacht Club will hold the first 
strictly Marine Carnival ever undertaken in America, celebrating the opening of 
Lake Washington to commerce. The carnival also celebrates the semi-centennial 
of the purchase of Alaska. In fact nature and man have conspired to make this 
section of our country a most interesting one to visit. 






SUMMER SCHOOLS 


One important feature in connection with every annual meeting of the 
N. E. A. is the proximity of summer schocls to the place of meeting. This year 
the summer schools in the Northwest Territory are arranging their work for the 
week of July 9 to 14 so that their students may secure the benefits derived from 
attending the meeting of the N. E. A.; the University of Oregon will close for the 
entire week, and the other schools will grant excuses to those who attend. 

















University ef Oregon 


The 1917 session of the summer school of the University of Oregon at Eugene 
will be coordinated with the meeting of the N. E. A. at Portland. The session will 
open June 18 and run three weeks, then take a recess for one whole week during 
the N. E. A., resume on July 16, and close August 3. This will enable teachers from 
distant states to combine with a trip to the coast, delightful and profitable in 
itself, a full six-weeks course in a standard university summer school held under 
ideal conditions, and attendance upon the meeting of the great national convention 
of teachers. 

In addition to most of the heads of departments of the University of Oregon, 
there has been obtained a more than usual brilliant array of lecturers. Among 
these are G. Stanley Hall, President of Clark University; Henry Churchill King, 
President of Oberlin College; J. Duncan Spaeth, Professor of English at Princeton; 
John Timothy Stone, Pastor of the Fourth Presbyterian Church of Chicago. 
President Hall will give a course of ten lectures on “The Building of Character,” 
and the University of Oregon will be the only Pacific Coast institution at which he 
will lecture during the summer. 

The course in Education will be given by Henry D. Sheldon, Dean of the 
School of Education, Presidents Hall and King, Superintenednt C. R. Frazier of 
Everett, Wash., with special courses in “Educational Psychology” and “Special 
Children,” by Professor B. W. DeBusk. In addition to courses given by resident 
professors in the department of commerce, James Henry Gilbert, representing the 
Carnegie Endowment for Peace and Conciliation will give courses in the “National

i high INSTITUTIONAL MEMBERSHIPS 
cr Two classes of members are provided for in the by-laws of the N. E. A— 
is active and associate. Active membership is usually taken by those who are 
+ og certain that they intend to retain their membership in the Association thru a series 
ape in of years. Associate memberships are usually taken in large numbers by teachers 
icicles in the territory wherein the meetings are held and by teachers in other sections of 
the country who are not familiar with the work of the Association and who, there- 
= fore, take out what might be termed an experimental membership. Each year a 
and 25 . ; ‘ 
ington, number of these associate members become active members. _The annual fee is 
a | $2 but active members pay an enrolment fee of $2 making their first payment $4. 
ick E. Membership is not restricted to individuals but may be held by Institutions. 
At the present time we have over 1000 institutional members of the active-mem- 
bership rank and about 500 institutional members of the associate-membership 
rank. This year under the general lead of O. M. Plummer, a member of the Board 
iphasis of Education of Portland and President of the Department of School Administra- 
hysical tion, a special effort is being made to secure institutional memberships thru the 
1¢ Uni- entire country. The “Proceedings” of the Association are lookt upon by educators 


ler the as being the most valuable annual reports available. It is due to this fact that 
's, Max practically all Departments of Education in colleges, universities and normal 
Dietz, schools have taken out active institutional memberships with the idea of securing 
all the publications of the Association so they could be used by the classes in

such institutions. It is believed that Boards of Education thruout the country 
could render no better service to their respective constituencies than by annually 
enroling each school in the system as an institutional member and thus offering 
to the teachers in every school the latest and best educational discussions ayaj)- 
able. Teachers are continually changing but if the membership were taken out 
by the Board, the reports would remain and would shortly form the nucleus of g 
good library. The proceedings have a greater practical value since the Associa- 
tion has begun to issue them in magazine form as well as in volume form. The 
following letter addrest to the Secretary under date of February 13 by P, p, 
Claxton, United States Commissioner of Education, commends the effort to increase 
our institutional membership list: 


“I wish to assure you of my very hearty approval of your effort to obtain institutional mem. 
berships for the National Education Association. ‘The value of this Association to the cause of 
education in the United States is incalculable, and every school, public or private of whatever 
grade, ought to be enroled as a member of it. I sincerely hope you may succeed in obtaining 
memberships at least from all universities, colleges, normal and technical schools, all public and 


private high schools, and all city-school systems.”

KANSAS CITY MEETING 


‘Met, as we are, in the midst of a great world-crisis which 
threatens the safety and honor of our own country, the Depart- 
ment of Superintendence of the National Education Association, 
representing in its membership all the education systems and 
interests of the United States of America, do hereby solemnly and 
unitedly declare our confidence in, and our loyalty to, the Presi- 
dent of the Republic, Woodrow Wilson, in his supreme effort to 
maintain the dignity and the honor of our Nation.” 


The climax of the forty-seventh annual meeting of the Department of Super- 
intendence was reacht when Francis G. Blair, chairman of the Committee on 
Resolutions read the above declaration after the following preliminary statement: 


“Your committee on resolutions believe that the program prepared for this meeting has been 
one of the most successful and profitable ones ever offered in the history of this department and that 
the attendance and interest has been unusual in spite of the fact that over and above all our 
deliberations has hung one transcendent question, overshadowing all others in its interest and 
importance. ‘That overhanging and obsorbing question is, how our nation will meet the great 
international situation which confronts it. Your committee, after a careful consideration of all 
the issues involved, unanimously believe that under this unusual and extraordinary circumstance 
we should deny ourselves the time-honored privilege of formulating and presenting an extended 
statement of the principles and policies of educational supervision and procedure, and in lieu 


of such resolutions present a single declaration for your consideration.” 


The report of the committee was unanimously adopted by a rising vote and 
the President of the Department was directed to wire the declaration to President 
Wilson. 

The second largest meeting in the history of the Department met in Kansas 
City, Mo., February 26 to March 3. The largest enrolment of new active members 
ever secured at a winter meeting was largely due to the special efforts which had 
been put forth by State Director W. H. Martin, as a result of which the Associa- 
tion secured 269 new active members from Missouri alone. It enroled the second 
largest number of associate members, being exceeded only by the Detroit meeting, 
and the third largest number of former active members, being exceeded by the 
Cincinnati and Detroit meetings. The attendance from outside the entertaining

state was the largest which the Department has ever had. Kansas regisered 25 
more members than Missouri exclusive of Kansas City, and Illinois registered only 
96 less than Missouri outside of Kansas City. Ten states enroled more than 100 
members each, Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, Iowa, Oklahoma, Nebraska, New York, 
Michigan, Minnesota, and Pennsylvania. 

The Committee on Resolutions was as follows: Francis G. Blair, State Super- 
intendent of Public Instruction, Springfield, Ill.; J. George Becht, Secretary, State 
Board of Education, Harrisburg, Pa.; Frank B. Cooper, Superintendent of Schools, 
Seattle, Wash.; Grace Strachan, District Superintendent of Schools, New York, 
N. Y.; H. B. Wilson, Superintendent of Schools, Topeka, Kans. 

The Committee on Nominations consisted of: H. S. Weet, Superintendent of 
Schools, Rochester, N. Y.; H. A. Johnson, Superintendent of Schools, Ogden, 
Utah.; Z. R. Thornburg, Superintendent of Schools, Des Moines, Ia.; Wm. McKay 
Vance, Superintendent of Schools, Delaware, O.; E. C. Hartwell, Superintendent 
of Schools, St. Paul, Minn. 

The report of the Committee on Nominations made at the Thursday morning 
session was unanimously adopted as follows: 


President—Thomas E. Finegan, Deputy Commissioner of Education of the 
state of New York, Albany, N. Y. 


First Vice-President—A. A. McDonald, Superintendent of Schools, Sioux 
Falls, S. D. 


Second Vice-President—Carlos M. Cole, Superintendent of Schools, Denver, Col. 


Secretary—Lida Lee Tall, Supervisor of Grammar Grades, Baltimore County, 
Baltimore, Md. 


The local arrangements were very satisfactory. The weather was ideal. The 
hospitality extended by the various organizations was appreciated. A larger num- 
ber of special breakfasts, luncheons, and dinners were held this year than ever 
before. 


The music for the meeting was furnisht by various groups of school children. 
Wednesday afternoon was devoted to a gymnastic exhibition illustrating prepared- 
ness in elementary schools and participated in by 3500 children. Three different 
illustrated lectures were given showing the scenic beauties of the Northwest. The 
Columbia River Highway was presented by Samuel L. Lancaster, its engineer and 
builder. John R. Fox presented views of the Yellowstone Park, and Howard H. 
Hayes spoke on the New National Park Idea. 

Two reports were presented which were considered so important that they 
were printed in a special Bulletin. These were the reports of the Committee on 
Relation between Boards of Education and Superintendents, and of the Committee 
on Military Training in the Public Schools. The first report which was presented 
by Chairman Charles E. Chadsey, Superintendent of Schools, Detroit, Mich., was 
unanimously adopted and the second report which was presented by Chairman 
Henry Snyder, Superintendent of Schools, Jersey City, N. J., was adopted with 
only a few scattering negative votes. 

Eight cities presented invitations for the 1918 meeting—Atlanta, Boston, 
Chicago, Columbus, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Newark, and Washington. The two 
cities receiving the smallest number of votes on each ballot were withdrawn and 
on the fourth ballot, Atlanta was chosen by a vote of 446 to 441 for Boston. 
Authority was given the President of the Department and the Executive Committee 
of the Association to fix the time and place of the next meeting of the Department, 
provided suitable arrangements could not be made for the meeting at Atlanta.

THRIFT 


The Monograph on Thrift publisht by the Association contains the winning 
essays in the contest which was conducted last year. The Bibliography which 
occupies over four pages is the most complete one on this subject which has ever 
been collected. Copies of the Monograph may be secured from the office of the 
Secretary at 25c each. 

The Thrift-essay contest this year is a county contest preliminary to a 
national contest. To the writer of the best essay in each county a medal is given, 
These winning essays in the several counties are being forwarded to the secretary’s 
office. To the high-school pupil in the United States writing the best essay q 
prize of $50 will be given; to the writers of the second and third best, prizes of 

25 each; to the writers of the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth best, prizes

third and fourth best, $10 each; to the writers of the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, 
and ninth best, $5 each. 

Essays will not be considered by the central office which have not come 
thru a county superintendent, or, in those states which do not have county super- 
intendents, the educational officer which corresponds to them. 


THE WELL BORN 
Four Thousand Dollars for Studies 


It is as much the duty of edueators to assure thru educa- 
tional procedures that individuals shall be well born as that they 
shall be well reared: 


The Committee of the National Council of Education appointed by President 
Aley in 1916 to study methods of promoting the ideal of racial well-being is re- 
ceiving many interesting studies in response to its invitation to the first group 
of twelve states.* The invitation for 1917-1918 follows. 

The committee has been given a fund to be used to help place popular ideals of 
racial well-being above commercial ideals and above individualism. It offers 
two recognitions of merit in each of four sections, totaling twelve states, to 
graduating classes of 1918 in state normal institutions, and in departments (or 
courses) of education (including psychology), of home economics, and of biology, 
in colleges (including agricultural) and universities: (Group A) $190 to classes 
graduating in 1918 that have had a two-year normal course based on high-school 
graduation; (Group B) $150 to classes graduating in 1918 that have had a four- 
year normal course based on high-school graduation; and to classes graduating 
in 1918 from colleges and universities with courses four years in length, that have 
had at least two years in education (including psychology), or in home economics, 
or in biology (including zoology, etc.). These honorariums will be awarded for 
the best cooperative studies by classes of the proposition: It is as much the duty 
of educators to assure thru educational procedures that individuals shall be well 
born as that they shall be well reared.

Suggestions to Two-Year Normal Classes.—What educational and social facts 
pear on the statement? That individuals may be well born, how can school affect 
physical condition of pupil? habits, intelligence, life-work, ideal of responsibility 
for inheritance past on to the next generation? How can this ideal be imprest 
wisely in nature-studies, garden work, personal hygiene, school housekeeping, 
recreations, civics, history? 

Suggestions to more advanst classes.—What is the testimony of facts (and 
statistics) of history, criminals, defectives, morbidity, mortality, birth rates, pov- 
erty, alcoholism, conservation and waste? How can the idea in the proposition be 
developt in primary, grammar, high, special, vocational schools, in continuation 
and extension instruction for adolescents and adults, so as to result in lessened 
rates of morbidity, of early mortality, of illegitimacy, of infanticide, and of life 
failures, as disclosed by the federal census? 


General suggestions.—It is desired that all classes understand the elementary 


form of Mendel’s theory of inheritance of unit characters with special reference 


to mental defectives. It is specially askt that each class submit a piece of original 
experimentation or investigation bearing on the proposition, e. g., work with 
children in practice or other schools; study of a related social detail in village, 
county, ward, or city; critical analysis of curriculums, etc. A study of a single 
family, especially one showing a well-markt trait, is a valuable educational exer- 
cise. Standard outlines for such can be had by writing to the chairman. An out- 
line for “study of the self” which includes the above family outline can also be 
had. The outline for a proposed research may be sent to the chairman who will 
secure the advice of an expert on the Advisory Committee of Experts for the pur- 
pose of making it as useful as possible. It is recommended that sub-topics be 
assigned individuals or groups to work up, and that the long vacation be utilized. 
The final study must be composite, representing the class. A dissenting minority 
may present its reasons separately, not exceeding one thousand words. 

1917-1918 Competition.—The invitations are extended thru Adelaide Steele 
Baylor, State Department of Public Instruction, Indianapolis, to Indiana, Illinois, 
Iowa; thru Edward Conradi, State College for Women, Tallahassee, Fla., to 
Georgia, Alabama, Florida; thru William E. Kellicott, Goucher College, Baltimore, 
to Maryland, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and the District of Columbia; thru 
William B. Mooney, State Teachers College, Greeley, to Colorado, Utah, Wyoming.* 
Enquiries may be sent to these consultants for the sections. Outlines for proposed 
researches may be sent to Helen C. Putnam, M.D., Rhode Island Ave., Provi- 
dence, R. I. 

Requirements.—Notice of intention to make this study should be sent to sec- 
tion consultant not later than May 1, 1917; length of manuscripts from two-year 
normals 4000 to 6000 words, from all others 5000 to 8000 words, tables not in- 
cluded; concise summary not exceeding 200 words; six typed copies; each copy 
strictly anonymous, but having in upper left corner of first page a pen name, 
name of the group to which it belongs, and number of students cooperating ,e. g., 
‘Progress’, Group A, 21 cooperating. Each package is to hold a sealed envelope 
bearing the pen name and containing the address of the person to whom .the 
honorarium may be sent. Manuscripts are to be with clerk of committee, Ida 
2. Greenman, Room 342, Grosvenor Building, Providence, R. I., not later than 
April 1, 1918. 

Successful studies.—Awards and honorable mentions will be announst before 
cmmencement in 1918. The committee reserves the right to give none when no

PEACE DAY 


To the Teachers of the United States: 


We find ourselves today in war, a war encircling the greater part of civilized . 


mankind. Whatever may be our view of the processes which have brought the 
world to this point, we have now to face the fact that the action of the nations is 
focust on this gigantic conflict and that our own country is now involved in it. 

We recognize that our Government has been loath to join the struggle and 
has entered into it only after long and searching deliberation. The will of the 
majority of Congress has declared war and it is the duty of all Americans to 
accept this mandate. The voice of law commands loyal and earnest service, and 
American patriotism will respond to the call. Service is the privilege of each 
and every citizen, and the measure of service is always the nation’s need. 

We enter upon this war with “a profound sense of the solemn and even 
tragical character of the step * * * and of the grave responsibilities which it 
involves.” We hope we have made “clear to all the world what our motives and 
objects are,” and we trust that during the war we shall remain faithful to the 
high traditions of America. To keep our minds and our hearts clear, let us refer 
often, as often as may be necessary, to the words of our President, who has struck 
the keynote of a new spirit, even in the tragedy of war. “Just because we fight 
without rancor and without selfish object, seeking nothing for ourselves but what 
we shall wish to share with all free peoples, we shall, I feel confident, conduct our 
operations as belligerents without passion, and ourselves observe with proud 
punctilio the principles of right and of fair play we profess to be fighting for.” 

President Wilson challenges American patriotism in his plea “to conduct our- 
selves as belligerents in a high spirit of right and fairness because we act without 
animus.” We shall have occasion, again and again, during the “fiery trial and sac- 
rifice ahead of us” to prove that our hearts are right and our traditions true. There 
will be none of the old passions of war. Our friendships need not be disturbed, 
and as the President says, we shall have an opportunity to prove this “in our 
daily attitude and actions toward the millions of men and women of German birth 
and native sympathy who live among us and share. our life, * * *who are in fact 
loyal to their neighbors and to the Government in the hour of test.” Consistent 
with all this, there will be an interchange of good-will, regardless of race or 
nationality. A cult of hatred has no place in free America, for tolerance is the 
first principle of democracy. 

Let us scorn to hate. In the midst of the conflict, which is waged for interna- 
tional freedom, let us reassert our belief in law, the absolute prerequisite for a 
democratic world. While we fight, let us prepare for peace. President Wilson, in 
his great speech to the Senate on January 22, gave this note to the world. “The 
statesmen of the world,” he said, “must plan for peace, and nations must adjust

and accommodate their policies to it, as they have planned for war and made 
ready for pitiless contest and rivalry.” During the last two and a half years, 
jeaders of thought, wherever to be found, have pointed the way, and there exists 
today substantial agreement on many of the essentials necessary for the avoidance 
of war in the future. A judicial union and a permanent conference of the 
nations have become familiar axioms in the plans for a durable peace. 


Our entry into the war gives a new significance to this epoch-making speech 
of the President, when he stunned the world by his frank statement of the way 
and upon what terms the war should be ended. The principles enunciated he 
calls American principles, American policies, and yet he says, “They are the 
principles and policies of forward-looking men and women everywhere of every 
modern nation, of every enlightened community. They are the principles of man- 
kind, and must prevail.” With these high words before us, it becomes the patriotic 
duty of American citizens to study and to encourage the study of those plans put 
forward to achieve a definite concert of the Powers and a just war-settlement. 
Let us keep this before our minds, for even tho we achieve our military goal, we 
shall not be victorious unless our preparations for peace are backt by the voice 
of the people and come into full fruition at the close of the war. 

What is the special service which teachers may render in this war? Anger, 
hate of other nations, should be kept from the schoolroom. The schools should 
maintain a civic and moral stability among the youth of the land. This is the 
opportunity to inspire anew a love for American institutions and American ideals. 
Civic service, apropriate to youth, imbued with devotion to the nation’s need, would 
constitute a substantial support to the country in this time of national crisis. The 
school children of the United States could, for example, thru home and school 
gardens make a substantial offering to the problem of food-production during the 
war. This and other forms of youthful service, consciously entered upon for the 
nation’s good, would develop a sane and logical patriotism among our young 
people—a mighty bulwark for the welfare of any nation. 


We shall not be true to our young citizens, however, if we withhold from them 
the hope of a new world-order. If we are sincere in our plans for peace, we shall 
impart to those who will determine the life of the future the knowledge of those 
processes which we, according to our judgment, deem wise and practical. Nay, 
more, we shall inspire the youth of today with a vision of a different world. Truly, 
the next great forward step of humanity must begin in the schools. 


Our efforts in this direction should not be interrupted. The observance of the 
eighteenth of May, Peace Day, or International Day, which has been the program 
of the schools of this country and of other countries for over a decade, is of 
peculiar importance this year when we, thru the voice of our President, are 
professedly waging war for international freedom and justice. We should teach 
the young people the way to freedom and justice. The celebration of Peace Day 
offers an opportunity to point out the value of arbitration, investigation and concil- 
jation, and judicial settlement. We might well point to the Arbitration Court at The 
Hague, which has setled effectively fifteen different cases of disputes among nations 
and which was fully competent to have settled the initial dispute in the present 
world-conflict. Our young people should know of the proposed World-Court, 
accepted in principle at the Second Hague Conference, and which is, among all 
the factors entering into a permanent peace plan, the one universally accepted. 
A Peace-Day exercise this year offers a great opportunity to take note of these 
solid foundations of law and order, and it is most fitting that the anniversary of 
the opening of the First Hague Conference, the starting-point and the center of 
this international progress, be celebrated in our schools.

On those who administer education in this critical time rests the responsibility 
of preserving and advancing those ideals for which all nations should strive, and of 
establishing an unbroken unity of civic service and devotion to the nation’s wel- 
fare. May we in our hour of test still be able to maintain the American ideal of 
democracy, and may the teachers of America continue to be the consecrated 
servants of the democratic ideal. God grant that on the pages of the world’s 
history, the United States will stand out as a nation which remained true to its 
purpose in the service of humanity.
