FINEGAN President Department of Superintendence GOVERNMENT WANTS MEETING HELD Even in these war times I feel that we should not omit such national occasions as the meeting of the Department of Superintendence. It would be poor economy t | sacrifice such opportunity of concerted national thought and discussion to promote the great purpose of the Government. We feel that there should be the fullest measure of cooperation such as may be accomplisht by this meeting. F. E. VANDERLIP. 4 THEN. EB A BULLETIN SSS PAY ENROLLMENT FEE NOW In order to avoid standing in line at registration headquarters we advise all wh plan to attend the meeting at Atlantic City to send their annual dues now to the N. E.4 offices in Washington. The great majority of members have already secured the membership receipts. The one who has paid his fee previously can step to the deg and get his badge at once, whereas the one who has not paid his fee in advance mug fill out the necessary blanks and go thru other red tape. Every one who knows long enough before hand that he will attend the meeting should remit $2 if now an acti» member or $4 if he wishes to become an active member at this meeting. OVER THE SCARE Letters in the office files of the secretary show that scores of teachers, superip tendents and college professors decided, before the Portland meeting and even as lat as in September, to curtail expenses by not attending the Portland meeting and othe meetings of the Association., Some askt to have their membership discontinued. They letters represent the general state of mind of teachers during those months. The tone of communications has changed completely. Recent letters from som who took the pessimistic view earlier, show that they plan to cross the continent to a@ tend the meeting of the Department of Superintendence. Many who planned to dip continue their membership are paying their dues and urging others to become memben HOTEL ARRANGEMENTS Atlantic City has a plan of financing conventions which is so simple and which ha proved so successful that many other cities are adopting the plan. It is a plan which each hotel pays into the general convention fund ten per cent of its conventig receipts. The executive committee for the hotels and citizens is the Bureau of Pub licity. A schedule of rates for each hotel is made out and signed for every monthit the year and the Bureau of Publicity is given power to see that every hotel compli¢ with its contract. The convention in making arrangements agrees to patronize the convention hoted which in Atlanic City includes all that N. E. A. members would care to patronix N. E. A. authorities investigated matters carefully before making arrangements » as to be able to positively endorse the convention. hotels and to guarantee that th Bureau of Publicity will meet every promise made to our convention. The range d prices will meet the needs of each member. Members are requested to mak reservations at one of these guaranteed hotels. They are all good satisfactory hotel Write direct to the hotel. There is no particular advantage in being at a headquarten hotel. These cannot care for all. Their space will soon be taken. The other hotels ar also near the center of things. In fact, nearly all these hotels are in a rectangk ten blocks long and one block wjde, which might be lookt upon as one great hotd ten blocks by one, divided into departments represented by the different hotels on th convention list. The only part the individual N. E. A. member has in carrying out th plan is when he registers at the hotel to take the certificate which will be given hip and to have the same when he calls for his N. E. A. badge. Many members know the hotels well enough to make a choice. Others havj friends who will make suggestions. There may be some who desire further inform tion before ordering reservations, and these people are invited to write the Bureau Publicity for information about each hotel. After receiving this information there wi be no difficulty in deciding the matter. Write the Secretary of the N. E. A. for & list of hotels and rates in case you do not have one. THE WNW. EA. BULLETIN 5 Sa A A A me eater cepa ta a ae ata ta A A RENN A TO REPEAT ot Te RA el aa i a oy THE N. E. A. SERVICE FLAG Mrs. Mary C. C. Bradford, president of the National Education Association, made the national headquarters a Christmas present of a fine large service flag requesting that it be hung prominently at headquarters. This flag, 10x18 feet and containing 756 stars, is one of the largest service flags in Washington. Arrangements are being made for unfurling it on Washington’s birthday as a part of the Washington program for that day. Seven hundred fifty-six is an estimate of the number of N. E. A. members in the army and navy. When reports are complete it may be necessary to add stars to the flag. The number will certainly go far beyond that estimate in case associate members are counted. An effort is now being made to get the names of all our members who are in military service, and to see that each one is represented by a star in this service flag.

TO INSTITUTIONAL MEMBERS The attention of libraries and departments of education in normal schools, col- leges and universities is called to an announcement made by Dr. Shepard in 1911. We learn that Dr. Bardeen still has a supply of these Volumes for sale. Every library should have these early Proceedings. They contain valuable material for departments of education. The following is Dr. Shepard’s statement: “I am pleased to be able to advise you that Mr. C. W. Barden, publisher of the School Bulletin, of Syracuse, N. Y., desiring to aid the Association, has recently com- pleted the work of reprinting the pamphlet Volumes of Proceedings of the National Education Association for the years 1857 to 1870 inclusive (excepting for the years 1861, 1862, 1867, when no meetings were held). The original stock of these Volumes was exhausted many years ago. Mr. Bardeen will now supply orders for these Vol- umes for those wishing to complete their sets of Proceedings, and will furnish prices on application.” Yours truly, (Signed) Irwin SHeparp, Secretary.

MAcCracken It was an American poet, himself of German descent and absolutely loyal tg America, who addressed a little book to the boys and girls of this land, You Are The Hope of The World. That is the exact truth. You are indeed the world’s hope fo democracy, for justice, for international friendship. How can we make you feel this we older people working now to help our nation in our fight for these things ? Well, one way is the Junior Red Cross. President Wilson approved it when fy issued his famous proclamation September 15, calling to the children of the schools & unite under it for patriotic service. During the ten days between Lincoln’s and Washington’s birthdays, February J to 22, 1918, the American Red Cross is going to summon you, boys and girls of America, to respond to President Wilson’s call in complete battle line forfnation, the battle line of the American school. The president of the National Educational Association has issued-a call to the colors which we hope will be read by every teacher in the land. Cardinal Gibbons ha given his full approval to the movement and serves upon our national committee Many others, representing every type of school and every kind of scholar have joined us in the great movement. What is the Junior Red Cross? It is a department of the American Red Cross belonging to the school children of the United States thru which they can find expression in every form of patriotig service. As President Wilson says, “Learn by doing kind things under your teachers direction to be the future good citizens of this great country which we all love.” The Junior Red Cross is unity. When a school has once joined the Junior Re Cross it can engage in any form of patriotic service which the government has ap proved. It can work for war saving; it can plant school gardens; it can engage if salvage work of the raw material board; it can help the Food Administration or the Council of Defence, and all the while be acting as a part of the Junior Red Cross which has agreed to cooperate with all these branches of the government work. The Junior Red Cross is efficiency. It can provide you boys and girls with work to do which will be of real service, with opportunities for work which are practical and which lead to definite results, with specifications of articles to make which the Red Cross knows to be useful at this time. You can be sure that your money which gog to the Red Cross will not be wasted. The Junior Red Cross is conservation: Every sweater that you knit, every bor that you make, is just as truly a piece of conservation as money put in the war savings or liberty bonds. You are helping the government by using your school time in helping to release other workers in other fields of which the government has need. The Junior Red Cross is morale. In joining it you are joining that great army of citizens which stands back of the boys at the front. You put courage in their hearty and power in their elbow, you make them feel that their country is with them and# something to fight for and die for, if need be. Can you think of any reason—teachers, and boys, and girls, why you should not join the Junior Red Cross? Then write to the nearest Red Cross Chapter headquar ters and have your school join the rest. Make our battle cry come true, “Every School a Red Cross Auxiliary, a Center of National Service.” A I To tl . of th hand comr servi the « soul- rebui : and 1 catio: throt patri: Birth behal servi 7 privil < educz given calls . is act dedic \ by th I are c . “ tiny | the | Supe manc this 1 to gir A CALL TO THE COLORS FOR THE TEACHERS OF THE UNITED STATES By Dr. MAry C. C. Braprorp, President of the National Education Association To the School Teachers of the United States: You are hereby called to the Colors of the American Republic. The teaching force of the United States is summoned to serve anew in the great world crisis that is at hand. Thé war for human freedom cannot be won unless the army of soldiers of the common good—the public school army—gives the fullest measure of sacrifice and service. Still more important, a new and. fairer civilization will not take the place of the one that has broken down under the stress of conflict unless the molders of the soul-stuff of the world—teachers—dedicate themselves afresh to the mighty task of rebuilding the national institutions as an expression of the highest ideal of humanity. The schools are the laboratory of good citizenship. The children are little citizens and must be guided in such present experiences as will make certain their future dedi- cation to the welfare of the Republic. The Junior Membership of the Red Cross, through the School Auxiliary, offers an unsurpassible medium through which the patriotic activities of the children can make themselves felt. Beginning with Lincoln’s Birthday and lasting until Washington’s Birthday a nation-wide effort is to be made in behalf of increasing the Junior Membership. This call to the Colors is for your service in this campaign. The National Education Association offers every teacher in the land the high privilege of participation in this great campaign. The school organization of each state needs your help in this form of character education. The President of the United States—the great teacher of the world—has given a new content to the term “Red Cross.” Therefore, you may consider that he calls you to the Colors in this active service for the children of the world. You are hereby called to the Colors by all the great ideals through which Today is acting on Tomorrow to the end that Tomorrow may see the sunrise of a world life dedicated to straight thinking, hard work, mighty loving. You are called to the Colors by the Spirit of America, by the needs of childhood, by the Soul of Civilization. Yours is the privilege of sacrificing, serving, and loving. I salute you upon your great opportunity. I thank you for the way in which you are certain to rise to its farthest heights. Soldiers of the Common Good! Rebuilders of Civilization! Molders of the Des- tiny of the World! Your great task is ready. Assume it. NAME HOTEL WHEN REGISTERING There has been a demand for several years for a card index of names showing the hotels at which members are located during the meeting of the Department of Superintendence. Superintendent Boyer, of Atlantic City, wishes to meet that de- mand and with the help of members, he believes it entirely possible for him to render this new accommodation. In order to make the plan a success members must not fail to give the name of their hotels when registering at headquarters. i NET ag EL EE nt SD sn 5 chen init hal Ort PO NA TE OT THE N. E A.

Cordially and sincerely yours, Mr. J. W. Crabtree, Secretary (Signed) WOODROW WILSON. National Education Association, Washington, D. C. PROVIDES FOR CREATION OF NATIONAL UNIVERSITY REPRESENTATIVE FESS OF OHIO OFFERS BILL APPROPRIATING $500,000 Creation of a national university in Washington, “at the seat of the federal gov- ernment,” is provided in a bill introduced in the House yesterday by Representative Simon D. Fess, of Ohio, which carries an appropriation of $500,000 for the use of the university for the fiscal years 1918 and 1919. This bill, which was referred to the committee on education, gives three reasons for the establishment of this university: First, to promote the advance of science, pure and applied, and of the liberal and fine arts, by original investigation and research and by such other means as may appear suitable to the purpose in view. Second, to provide for the higher instruction and training of men and women for posts of importance and responsibility in the public service of state or nation, and for the practice of such callings and professions as may require for their worthy pursuit a higher training. Third, to co-operate with the scientific departments of the federal government, with the colleges of agriculture and the mechanic arts founded upon the proceeds of the federal land grants of the act of 1862, with the state universities, and other institutions of higher learning. No student is to be admitted to the university unless he shall have obtained the degree of master of science or of master of arts from some institution of recognized standing, or shall have pursued a course of study equivalent to that required for such degrees. The university would confer no academic degrees and would be governed and directed by a board of trustees in co-operation with an advisory council representing every state in the Union. BUDGET AND RESPONSIBILITY NECESSARY President Wilson said in his message: “And I beg that the members of the House of Representatives will permit me to express the opinion that it will be impossible to deal in any way but a very wasteful and extravagant fashion with the enormous ap- propriations of the public moneys which must continue to be made, if the war is to be properly sustained, unless the House will consent to return to its former practice of initiating and preparing all appropriation bills through a single committee, in order that responsibility may be centered, expenditures standardized and made uniform, and waste and duplication as much as possible avoided.” GIRLS TO STAY AT HOME _ There are too many young girls among the thousands of women coming to Wash- ington every month. Many of these young girls are away from home for the first time. Many are arousing anxiety on the part of members of the Y. W. C. A. Wash- 2 nn RE age ON RE ee 10 THE N. EB. A. BULLETIN ington is not a very desirable place, owing to crowded conditions, for mature wome, and it is no place at all for girls in their teens who are away from home. I beliey that you superintendents and teachers by keeping on the lookout can prevent many of these young girls from leaving their homes for employment in Washington. I urge you to do so. DEPARTMENT PRESIDENTS A conference of the presidents of N. E. A. Departments will be held at Atlantic City during the meeting of the Department of Superintendence. Questions pertaining to the program for the Pittsburg meeting will be considered. Mrs. Bradford, the president of the Association, calls this conference. The place and hour for this con. ference will be announst in the program. FUNDAMENTAL QUESTIONS TO BE CONSIDERED Realizing that the largest questions ever considered by the educators of any nation must now be taken up by the educators of this country, Mrs. Mary C. C. Bradford president of the National Education Association, expresses the hope that the Depart. ment of Superintendence and the National Council of Education at the Atlantic City meeting will give serious consideration to the questions which must control the recon struction of school ideals and policies and the reorganization of all educational forces and agencies thruout the country—changes which new conditions make necessary. Dr. Thomas E. Finegan, president of the Department of Superintendence, real- izing also that this meeting affords the teachers of the country an opportunity to begin the important work of readjustment early, has built his program around that idea and has framed it so as to develop very important questions for consideration. Doctor Finegan is a man of vision and force, just the man to be entrusted with this great N. E. A. program which must run thru many sessions of this Association. All members of the Board of Trustees and all members of the Executive Com. mittee plan to attend the meeting and will be called together to pass upon any recom mendations coming from the Department of Superintendence or from the National Council of Education. It will also be possible for Mrs. Bradford if necessary to call a meeting of N. E. A. Directors to pass upon any questions which should be con- sidered by the Directors. It is Mrs. Bradford’s idea to have the machinery all ready for putting into effect any definite plans growing out of the Atlantic City deliberations, Educators thruout the country have as a rule taken the view that the work of re organization and so forth would be done after the war is over. Mrs. Bradford says: “Why not now?” She expects very important steps to be taken at the Atlantic City meeting. She plans to have the work continued at the Pittsburgh meeting. The prob lems are so great and so numerous that the work to be started at Atlantic City will be uppermost in the deliberations of the N. E. A. during the next decade and perhaps during still another decade. N. E. A. MEMBERS IN FRANCE The Secretary’s office is anxious to get the names of all N. E. A. members who are in military service. We wish them to know they have no dues to pay during the war. We want their names for our Honor Roll to be printed in the N. E. A. BULLETIN, Let each reader of this item who knows of an active member in miltary service send the name to this office. THE CIVIL WAR MISTAKE At the beginning of the Civil. War some had the notion that educational associations should not meet during the war and that element had its way for two years.

Mugan Fall River, Mass child Nati tribu Unit ing « brin; peri adva disc into and that capa BULLETIN A PLEA FOR MEMBERSHIP IN THE N. E, A. It seems justifiable to claim that every professional educator who wishes to render a full service to his Nation and to cooperate to the full in making progress and eficiency in education possible ought to maintain a permanent and active membership in the National Education Association. There are 650,000 teachers in the United States of North America, but there are only 7,878 member of the N. E. A. The work of the N. E. A. does not justify this neglect. Some excuse themselves from membership in the N. E. A. on the ground that their salaries are not adequate, that if teachers ought to belong to the N. E. A., they ought to be paid higher salaries, but who is going to take the trouble of persuading the general public that a more liberal allowance ought to be made for teachers in the public budgets of the Nation? The initiative and the convincing arguments have to come from the teachers. They must sustain their national organization, and develop influence with the general public in all parts of the Nation, or suffer from lack of recognition and from underestimate of service. It is a habit and a fad to “roast” the public schools; ignorant people in matters of education are listened to when they denounce educators as a crowd of foolish traditionists, and those who earn a living by writing “popular articles” find they can sell “stuff” that makes fun of education and blames the teachers instead of the pupils for the stupidity of the mass of grad- uates from schools. The teachers sit complaining to themselves, and watch their bread and butter, their just and adequate salaries, argued and laughed away from them; they have no powerful and national organization with money and salaried officers to back the great wisdom in matters of education which teachers have discovered thru expe- rience and thru study, and in which the general public ought to have confidence and would have confidence were this wisdom defended and explained. Every teacher ought to sustain the N. E. A., and help to make it the dominating factor in American thought relative to public education, and a defense society against the detractor, the ignorant ranter and the commercial exploiter; a society of protection for the profes- sional educators of the Nation. When one becomes a teacher, an important public obligation is assumed. The children of the Nation must be well educated in their own interests and in that of their Nation and the world. Each teacher is a means to this end, and each ought to con- tribute to the best of his or her ability to the accomplishment of this end. But the United States of North America is a very large nation, and education is a progress- ing art, with a growing scientific basis. Each teacher ought to have associations that bring to him or her continually the best thinking of the most thoughtful and ex- perienced educators, so that there will be harmony in our national education and advancement in all sections as improved methods and materials for education are discovered. Unorganized as the mass of our teachers are now, they are victimized into buying sensational literature which proposes the entire reorganization of methods and school plans, scorns experience and denounces as out of date subjects and methods that have gotten results that are a credit to the schools. People without experience, capable of formulating merely speculative hypotheses, foist themselves on the mass of teachers and parents as the authors of directive literature for unsuspecting teachers, and take away the teachers’ money and the goodwill of the general public. The N. E. A. as the great organized body of teachers of the Nation should have strongly developt machinery for testing educational methods and for squelching the educa- tional quack so that the literature which it sends to its members will be a protection and a special means of enlightenment. And, especially, should it be receptive within its own membership of those who have genius and loyalty for the work of research in education. These should be put in touch with the mass of the Nation’s teachers thru E. A BULLETIN THE GHALFONTE—Gouncil Headquarters The Chalfonte is one of the leading hotels of Atlantic City.

A., and their advice widely circulated under the sanction of special committees as worthy of serious consideration on the part of all members, The teachers of the Nation must organize for progress in the schools, and the N. E. A. should perfect its ways and means for bringing every member in touch with the educational advice which means sure progress and increast success in teaching, Development, increast strength and service, is possible for the N. E. A. if a very large percentage of the teachers of the Nation will take out membership and keep their memberships permanently. 20,000 members will bring $40,000 a year on which to develop this service; 75,000 members will put $150,000 annually of protection and progress at the service of each member, and increase the efficiency of public education so notably that the general public will give to teachers an appreciation and support which has never as yet been achieved, because we teachers have never before organized to win the good opinion and the approval which we deserve. The N. E. A. ought to do more for its members, and it would do much more if the membership were large so that the income could pay for the service. Any one in good standing in the N. E. A should have the backing of the N. E. A. in his or her professional career, and the rights of individual members should be looked after in matters of contracts with and just treatment from employing boards of education and superiors. In many states the teachers associations have workt out “Professional codes of ethics” which it is agreed should hold as between teachers and their employers, their superiors and them- THE WN. £ A. BULLETIN 15 ST —eeEeEEOEOEOE selves. But there is no body to which to appeal when the code is broken, and the indi- yidual has to plead his own case, decide his own case and do his best as an individual to enforce the verdict. There should be in his N. E. A. a permanent committee on professional ethics, such as is maintained by the American Bar Association, to which any member of the N. E. A. could write to state his case and get a ruling as to what js just and fair and in accordance with true standards among educators. The N. E. A. as an organization should exert influence to enforce the verdict of this Committee on Educational Ethics and sustain the rights of its teacher members. This committee should be active also in calling to account teachers who violate the standards of ac- cepted educational ethics, and by expulsion of offenders from membership in the N. E. A. and other means, protect the general reputation of all members of the N. E. A. The general public has a right to this protection from educational impostors. This permanent committee of educational ethics should protect the members also from injustice by people and companies commercially interested in school busi- ness, so that members will be entirely free to act in school matters on their judgments regarding the interests and welfare of the children. There are many other ways in which the N. E. A. can help when its income becomes ample. The teachers of the Nation need some general organization which will foster their professional interests, not on a low plane but on a very high plane, in order that the respect and goodwill of the general public may be won and held, and a foundation maintained in public senti- ment and approval for efficient service by public school teachers.

BULLETIN, AN APPEAL TO THE HIGH SCHOOL YOUNG PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES Dear Young People: As head of the National Education Association I am making an appeal to you to strain every nerve in the effort to make your high school work a preparation for life. As never before the nation is looking to the boys and girls of high school age for help in its great task of keeping unstained American ideals and using American activities for the serving of the world. If the expectations of patriotic America are to be fulfilled, you young people must make the most of your four years of high school life. You must pour into those years every atom of physical, mental, and spiritual energy that you possess, to the end that your trained bodies and trained minds may be the instant and obedient servants of the nation’s needs. As you work during these crucial years, so will you live in the years to come. As you think straight, work hard, and love mightily, so will the nation think, work, and love. As your development is full, rich, and strong, so will the na- tional development become. I beg you not to be persuaded to forego the opportunities of high school life. Modern education is the interpretation of life in terms of truth, beauty, freedom, effi- ciency, and service. Make yourself ready for the nation’s Call by train- ing heart and hand and brain and soul to the end that when the spirit of America says “I need my young people,” you will be ready with the answer, “here are we, take us, use us,” that America may continue to teach the world the meaning of real civilization. Faithfully yours, Mary C. C.

James, Prestdent University of Illinois. SUPPLEMENT—THE N. E. A. BULLETIN THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE HIGH SCHOOLS FOR AMERICAN IDEALS Aurelia Henry Reinhardt, President, Mills College, Oakland, Cal. The high school is not yet crystallized. The length of its course is still unsettled varying from three to eight years. The number and kind of its departments diffe widely. Curricula vary largely. The requirements for graduation are changing. Th high school is striving to meet the most important demands today in modern public } education. It is a good thing that the high school is thus in a state of flux. It hode well for our future. | What then is the definite relation between this evolving institution and the formp lation and inculcation of American ideals in American children in their teens? Amen can high schools are using, more now than ever, American content in literature and history. At the same time, while we thus teach nationalism, we must maintain a proper perspective by the study of the language, art, and literature of other peoples. Mental isolation is fatal. In the eighteenth century men generalizing broadly exprest ther | ideals oratorically. Today, while in spirit we still cry, “Give me liberty or give me death,” we express our ideals ever more simply, soberly, and concretely. We are the } outcome of a noble past; we come of a people of large ambitions and large opportun- ties, but today our life is becoming more intensive, and each one must do his part with less waste and greater efficiency. Eternal vigilance for the preservation of the lang view and the wide perspective is necessary to preserve in the individual essential sanity of mind and nobleness of attitude toward life. In all schools, in all variations of all schools, there are two stable factors: first the open-minded teacher, so truly patriotic that he needs not talk about it and so pe tient that he strives ever to lift up the student to the best American ideals; second, the oncoming generations that are to be future American citizens. It is the chief business of the public school to provide an atmosphere and environment in which the fine per sonality of the teacher may best develop an intelligent world-enlightened patriotism in the minds of American youth. EXPLANATION OF DUES New active members pay an enrolment fee of $2 and annual dues of $2, making ap outlay of $4 for the first year. The outiay for each year after the first is $2. New associate members do not pay the enrolment fee hence the outlay for am associate member is $2 a year including the first year. An associate member whose dues are paid for 1917-18 may become an active member by payment of the enrolment fee of $2. The Volume is sent to active members except in cases of members asking for the N. E. A. Journal instead. The N. E. A. Journal is sent to associate members except in cases of members requesting the Volume instead. This must be remembered, how ever, that the one registered as an associate member is required to send in the coupon which is attacht to his receipt in order to be listed for either the Journal or the Volume. The active or associate member who is to receive the Volume may also receive the Journal by sending an additional dqllar. No one receives either the Journal or the Volume for less than the annual membership fee of $2. The article in this number of the N. E. A. BuLterin on “A Plea for Membership in the N. E. A.” which was prepared for the BULLETIN by Dr. Milton Fairchild, of the National Institution of Moral Instruction is the most logical and best statement of reasons for membership in the N. E. A. ever publisht by the Association. Any ome desiring reprints of this article for distribution may secure them from the Secretary. Sa eee R EERE irst, pa- the SUPPLEMENT—THE N. E. A.

These lessons are to be adapted to the various grades of the elementary school and the high school. They are to be based upon facts and the best information available and not upon the policies or the philosophy of war. The best talent in this country will be used in the preparation of this work. It will be hastened as rapidly as possible to meet a present need. NATIONAL CONFERENCE OF RURAL EDUCATION AND COUNTRY LIFE For the past three years, the Department of the Interior, thru its Bureau of Edu- cation, has been waging a nation-wide campaign for better rural schools and the im- provement of country life. Among the agencies employed in the promotion of this work have been a series of conferences which reacht all sections of the country during the past year. In response to requests from several of these meetings, the United States Commissioner of Education has called a national conference on these problems to meet at Washington, D. C., February 20 to 23 inclusive. The conferences will be held in the auditorium of the New Interior Building, between 18th and 19th and E. and F Streets, N. W. In addition to the leaders in rural education and country life work among the school men and school women of the country, several United States sena- tors, congressmen, governors, and business and professional men have promist to attend and take part on the program. Senator Hoke Smith, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Education; Congressman Sears, Chairman of the House Committee on Education; Senator McKellar, of Tennessee; Senator Owen, of Oklahoma; Repre- sentative Bankhead, of Alabama; Representative Fess, of Ohio; Governor Milliken, of Maine; Governor Frazier, of North Dakota; Governor Cox, of Ohio; Representative Sloan, of Nebraska; and Dr. George E. Vincent, President Rockefeller Foundation, New York City, will take part on the program of this conference. On the afternoon of February 22, there will be a Service Flag Raising at the N. E. A. headquarters, 1400 Massachusetts Avenue, N. W. Honorable Franklyn K. Lane, Secretary of the Interior, has been invited to preside at this meeting., The President of the United States has been invited as the principal speaker, and it is expected that the United States Marine Band will furnish the music. For information regarding program and hotel accommodations, write J. L. McBrien, School Extension Agent, United States Bureau of Education, Washington, D. C., Executive Secretary of the Conference. Washington is the war capital of the world in the present war. Its population has increast over twenty-five per cent in the last three months. It is very difficult to secure hotel accommodations. Those wanting to make sure of hotel accommodations’ should write Mr. McBrien at once. COMMERCIAL EXHIBITS The Commercial Exhibits will occupy many thousand square feet in the large ex- hibit rooms on Garden Pier near the Registration and Bureau of Information Head- quarters. Mr. Hoyt, in charge of the Exhibits, assures us that this will be one of the best Commercia! Exhibits of the National Education Association. 22 SUPPLEMENT--THE N. E. A. BULLETIN Rr NNN ee REGISTRATION As announst elsewhere, Registration Headquarters will be in the large room by the side of Keith’s Theater on Garden Pier. It will be near the Commercial Exhibits ang will operate also bureaus of information. Garden Pier will, therefore, be the central point during the meetings of the Association. Members should first go to their hotel, register and get the certificate which wij be given them and which they should present at Registration Headquarters. Where one’s fees have been paid in advance only a tew moments will be necessary for regis. tration. In case of those who need to pay their annual dues at this time, a little longer delay will be required in making out the enrolment data. Members should not forget in registering to give the name of their local hotel. THE PORTLAND VOLUME The material for the Portland Volume has been in the hands of the printer fo; some time. The office is making an effort to have the Volume completed so that it cap be mailed out to members before the meeting of the Department of Superintendenc This is a period of mishaps and handicaps. No one is justified in promising the de livery of goods at any specific date. We see no reason, however, why we should noi be able to get this Volume out in time for the meeting of the Department of Superip. tendence. The Volume will not be as large as the one for 1916-17, but it is a Volum which will be in great demand. Outside inquiries have already been received. It seems that the National Education Association was not only one of the first of the national associations to devote its entire program to preparedness and war but that its addresses and resolutions were the strongest and most positive. Members will certainly pe pleased with the patriotic ring of every page in this volume. THE SCHOOLS AND THE WAR It has been said in my hearing in Oakland within the last few weeks that we are over-emphasizing patriotism and war activities in the public schools. To my mind this is impossible. It may be that our efforts are poorly organized and not directed toa common purpose, and therefore productive of confusion and chaos. But to the Ameti- can whose whole heart and soul are in the great cause of humanity for which our nation has taken up arms, no such thing can be as an over-emphasis upon patriotism. Patriotism is a matter of individual responsibility. Responsibility of a peculiar nature rests upon each teacher. She is not only an American citizen and as such er thusiastic in her desire to make sacrifices that the cause of democracy and humanity may prevail, but she is a public servant upon whom rests the responsibility of an ut usual trust. The patriotism of the teacher is reproduced and perpetuated not only by her own individual efforts, but by the influence of her life in its contact with the com- munity of young citizens about her. You and I as teachers cannot escape this respot- sibility, if we would. It is placed upon us by the fact that we are American citizens and that we are teachers and leaders of the citizenship of the next generation. I am confident that every teacher in Oakland who has directed her thoughts se riously to this point realizes that the activities which will help to consummate the pur pose of patriotic instruction are not an added burden, that they are not something extraneous attacht by administrative authority to the already over-wide scope of ae*?

BULLETIN 23 ee eee activities in our school life, but that they are part and parcel of it. In fact, the most fundamental reason for all the things which we do is to be found in their effect upon patriotism and good citizenship. A universal good citizenship is the ultimate product of a proper system of public education in a democracy. THOSE THINGS IN WHICH OUR NATION AND COMMUNITY ARE INTRESTED ARE AN ES- SENTIAL PART OF SCHOOL WORK, NOT SOMETHING ADDED TO IT. If other school work is to be minimized on this account, well and good. The business of those engaged in the public service of education is to do the biggest and most im- portant things. : : If any of you doubt the seriousness of this problem, let me call to your attention the fact that the census of the United States Government shows that over sixty per cent of the population of Oakland come from homes in which a strong factor of foreign ideals is present; that is, sixty per cent of the people in Oakland are either foreign born or come from homes where one or bot parents are foreign born. The nativity report recently compiled in the administrative offices shows numerous schools in which a very large percentage of the children themselves, to say nothing of the parents, were born abroad. During the present semester, our efforts should be concentrated on three or four outstanding activities. Remember, these are not additional activities, but a part of the regular work. The purpose involved is not to be accomplisht by a single spasmodic drive, but by a constant connection with the lessons of the classroom. There must be gradual sustained effort throughout the term. The activities to which I call attention are these : a. War Savings Plan. (Thrift Stamps). b. The Junior Red Cross. c The Community Lessons issued by the Government. d. Teaching the Reasons Why We are at War. —Superintendent Fred Hunter, Oakland, California, to his teachers, in Bulletin No. 30.

BULLETIN ‘ IMPORTANT In fitting our plan of registration into the convention sys- tem of Atlantic City one change in our plan is necessary and only one. The change is in that enrolment begins at the hotel. Remember this: When you register at the hotel, ask the clerk for the N. E. A. certificate. He will hand you a card which you are to fill out and take to N. E. A. Regis- tration Headquarters. This card, becomes your enrolment card. If your dues are paid you hand this card in and at once receive the N. E. A. badge. If your dues have not been paid you pay your dues and then receive the N. E. A. badge. If you choose a hotel after arrival be sure and ask whether it is a convention hotel. Nearly all good hotels are conven- tion hotels. Members of the N. E. A. are to stop only at convention hotels. The local teachers and those who stop at places not cooperating with the N. E. A. pay an additional fifty cents for their enrolment card. COMPLETED PROGRAM If you wish to receive a copy of the program in completed form write the Secretary. It can be mailed out after Feb- ruary 12.
