THE MACMILLAN COMPANY New York Atlanta San Francisco Boston Chicago Dallas Richer Geography Sing study of geography today is taking on a new breadth and meaning. In order to meet the increasing demands teachers are requiring more complete aids and better equipment. The MANUAL FOR TEACHERS just issued for Brigham and McFarlane’s Essentials of Geography gives all this needed assistance. Not only does it deal in detail with the teaching of this series, but it also provides much illuminating discussion of the pedagogy of geography. The breadth of this discussion is indicated by the following chapter headings in the second half of the book: Geography in the Higher Grades; Methods of Teaching Geography; Problems in Geography; The Use of Pictures; Field Work for Older Pupils; Geography as a Social Science; Minimum Essentials; Books for Teachers. This Teacher's Manual will give you new views about the teaching of geography. ESSENTIALS OF GEOGRAPHY A Manual for Teachers By Apert Perry BriGHam, A. M., Sc.

For prospectus write te WORLD BOOK COMPANY Yonkers-on-Hudson, New York 2126 Prairie Avenue, Chicago SEPTEMBER, 10921 Effective Professional Organization VERY MOVEMENT for the betterment of education must be led by the educators themselves. All agree that the interests of the teach- ing profession must be upheld and pro- moted, and that the standards of the profession must be elevated. In order to accomplish these results there must be a complete and effective organization of the teaching profession, and the closest co-operation between local, State, and National organizations. ‘This fact was repeatedly emphasized at the Des Moines meeting of the National Education As- sociation. Among the resolutions unani- mously adopted by the Representative Assembly was the following: “We call upon the teachers of America to unite under the banner of the Na- tional Education Association in carrying forward the great program of service to which the Association is committed. We urge professional organization of teach- ers in every community to develop public sentiment in support of education and to co-operate in the solution of local educational problems ; a State educational association in every commonwealth to develop through State legislation an eficient and adequately supported school system; and the National Education As- sociation which shall include all the teachers of the country to support a National program of education in co- operation with all forward-looking men and women who realize that only through public education can we hope to preserve our priceless American _insti- tutions.” That the influence of the teachers of the country may be most effective, every teacher should recognize that he owes it to himself, to his profession, and to the cause of education, to unite with his fel- low teachers in organized, co-operative effort. A certain sum, which at most will be but a small percentage of his annual salary, should be set aside as his professional dues in the local, the State, and the National organizations. Strength comes from unity, and unified action is accomplished only through voluntary — supported by membership ues. "Also published as Bulletin 15. Copies may be had on request. The Budget Plan That the cost of collecting dues may be kept down, all dues should be collected by the secretary of the local organization on the budget plan. ‘This will leave more money to be used for carrying forward the programs of the State and National Associations. This fact was emphasized by Miss Cornelia President of the National Education Association for 1921-1922. Miss Wil- liams, who is superintendent of the schools of Shelby County, Memphis, Tennessee, is the first president to be elected by the Representative Assembly under the new plan of organization. She already has under way plans for an unusually signifi- cant meeting at Boston in 1922. Adair, Treasurer of the National Edu- cation Association, in her annual report in which she stated, “The demands upon the Association in almost every depart- ment of its activity have been far in ex- cess of the funds available. As teachers come more fully to appreciate the value of professional organization—local, State, and National—the cost of collecting dues from members and of obtaining new members may be decreased. The plan of having the local association collect [x19] dues for State and National Associations, along with its own, will enable the Na- tional Association to handle its member- ship dues in large blocks rather than individual accounts, and the money re- quired for membership campaigns wi!| be correspondingly decreased.” The following is suggested for bring- ing about an effective and complete or- ganization based on the budget plan: First, each local organization of teach- ers should meet and determine the amount of annual dues necessary for the local association. Second, it should be decided whethe: or not the members of the local associa- tion will also become members of their State Association and of the National As- sociation. In some instances the local as- sociation may wish to be a member of an additional organization, such as a county or district association. Third, the local association should then determine whether or not its mem- bers should pay as professional dues for the year the sum of the membership dues of the different organizations, local, State, and National. Fourth, each member of the local as- sociation should then sign a blank form which will be furnished by the National Association, promising to pay the dues in the respective organizations, and stat- ing the date on or before which these dues will be paid. Fifth, the secretary of the local asso- ciation should then feport to each of the different organizations the action taken, giving the names of the members of the local organization who have signed the statement promising to pay the respective dues. Forms for this report will be fur- nished by the National Association. As soon as the list of names with addresses is received by the National Association they will be entered as members, and each will be entitled to all the privileges of membership, including a copy of the JOURNAL OF THE NATIONAL Epuca- TION ASSOCIATION. Sixth, the secretary of the local asso- ciation should report at least once each month to the State Association and to the National Association the names of the members who have paid their re- spective dues, with a remittance to cover iq ¥ , 120 THE JOURNAL OF THE NATIONAL EDUCATION ASSOCIATION September, 1921 the sum total of such dues. Blank forms for the report to the National Associa- tion will be furnished by the Association. Every local association adopting this plan will, of course, become an affiliated local association of the National Educa- tion Association, and as such be entitled to elect delegates to the Representative Assembly in proportion to its member- ship, as provided in the By-Laws of the National Association. The Application Blank explains fully how local associations may become affiliated. Nearly every State Association has already afh!':.ted. Plans are being developed for closer co-opera- tion between State Associations and the National Association. The budget plan for the collection and payment of dues in local, State, and National organizations has already been adopted by a number of local associations and has proved highly satisfactory. The Des Moines meeting demonstrated the success of the representative form of government adopted by the National Association. The business of the Asso- ciation was transacted, its policies de- termined, and its officers nominated and elected by delegates selected by State and local affiliated associations. The Na- tional Association has become in form and in fact the instrument of the teachers of the Nation. It is directed and con- trolled by delegates chosen by the teach- ers themselves from their own local and State associations to carry forward such a National program of service as may be determined by them through their chosen representatives. One of the planks in the platform of the National Education Association calls for “The unification and federation of the educational forces of the country in one great professional organization de- voted to the advancement of the teaching profession, and, through education, the promotion of the highest welfare of the Nation. To accomplish this purpose every teacher should be a member of a local teachers’ organization, a State teachers’ association, and the National Education Association.” Teachers have been somewhat slow to realize the great advantages to be de- rived from complete professional organi- zation. ‘The greatest educational prog- ress has been made in those States where the teachers have the largest and most effective State associations. During the past few years in which the National Association has made a rapid growth in membership its influence has been greatly increased. Never before have the edu- cators of the country exerted so much influence in determining National poli- cies. Never before has the leadership of the National Education Association in educational matters been so generally accepted by other great National organi- zations. The teachers of the country may have a justifiable pride in the strength and prestige of their National Association. The call is for a forward movement all along the line. Our President, Miss Charl Ormond Williams, has announced that at the next annual meeting of the National Association she will present two banners, one to the State having the largest membership in the National As- sociation in proportion to population, and A Platform HE National Education Associa- tion in annual convention assembled pledges again its devoted loyalty to American institutions and ideals. We hold it as our first and most important duty to instil these principles into the hearts and minds of those entrusted to our guidance. We recognize the necessity for the further development of our American program of education. We look to our Federal Government for such sanction, encouragement, and leadership in educa- jon in co-operation with the States as will make possible the realization of our National ideals. We pledge our continued support to the program of service for which this Association has stood and seek to enlist the co-operation of all organizations and individuals who hope through education to develop the highest type of American citizenship. As representatives of the organized teaching profession of the United States, we pledge our support to the following drinciples and earnestly solicit the co- operation of all friends of education in the carrying forward of this program. (1. We recognize as fundamental to the development of an efficient school system the requirement that there shall be a well educated and professionally trained teacher in every American class- room. 2. We urge that increased facilities be provided for the training of teachers, and that the rewards of teaching and the recognition of the profession in the public service be developed in such man- ner as will attract to the profession the most competent young men and young women and hold in the profession those who have proved themselves efficient. 3. We strongly recommend that those who have proved themselves competent be made secure in their positions by laws establishing their tenure during the period of efficient service, and that ade- quate retirement laws be enacted in order —$$—___ one to the State having the largest mem. bership in its State Association in pro. portion to population. A friendly cop. test for these banners should begin at once. Let us work for a great National Association, supported by powerful State Associations in all the States, and by thousands of live, active local organiza. tions throughout the country. Then may the teachers of America expect just recognition and the realization of thei cherished hopes. of Progress’ to provide for those whose efficiency js lowered by age or physical disability, 4. We urge the adoption of a single salary schedule for all teachers in ele. mentary and in high schools, determined upon the basis of education, professional training, and successful experience, 5. We call attention to the failure to provide an adequate program of educa- tion for the children living in the rural areas of our country, and we urge that the educational opportunities provided for children in rural America be made equivalent to those offered to children in the most favored urban communities, and to this end we recommend that larger units of taxation and administra- tion than the ordinary school district be adopted such as the township or town and the county. 6. We call attention to the fact that it is impossible to carry forward an American program of education without greater financial support than is now available. We call to the attention of the American people the fact that wise expenditures for schools are not to be thought of as gifts in aid of a worthy charity, but rather as an _ investment which will pay higher dividends than any other type of public expenditure. We recognize the necessity for larger State distributive funds in aid of the public schools in order that the American ideal of equalizing the burden of sup port and the opportunities for education be realized throughout our common- wealths. 7. We recognize the distinction be- tween the lay control of education and the professional administration of our schools. We believe that the highest type of professional service in the offices of State superintendent or State com missioner of education, of county super intendents of schools, and of city super intendents of schools can be secured by Resolutions adopted at the Des Moines meeting, July 8, 1921. 921 em- Dro- -on- | at onal tate by 1iza- ‘hen just their cy is y. ingle | ele- nined ional ire to duca- rural » that vided made iIdren nities, that ristra- ict be town t that rd an ithout ; now ion of t wise to be vorthy stment ; than Ire. larger of the nerican »f sup- ication mmon- on be- on and of our highest offices e€ cof - super - super: ired by Moines Vol. 10, No. 7 the selection of all such administrative officers by lay boards of education elected by the people. 8. We gratefully acknowledge the * co-operation of other great National or- ganizations in the development and pro- motion of an American program of edu- cation. : 9, We are glad to co-operate with the American Legion in the establish- ment of a universal requirement of Eng- lish as the only basic language of instruc- tion in all schools—public, private, and parochial—and we commend heartily their demand that thorough-going in- struction in American History and Civics be required of all students for gradua- tion from elementary and from secondary schools. We welcome their co-operation in the establishment of a longer school year, and in the enforcement throughout the United States of compulsory educa- tion to the end of the high-school period. 10. We renew our unqualified en- dorsement of a Department of Education with a Secretary in the President’s Cabinet, and Federal aid to encourage the States in the removal of illiteracy, THE JOURNAL OF -THE NATIONAL EDUCATION ASSOCIATION the Americanization of the foreign-born, the development of a program of phys- ical education and health service, the training of teachers, and the equaliza- tion of educational opportunity as em- bodied in the Towner-Sterling bill now pending in the Sixty-seventh Congress. We are gratified to note the development of a Nation-wide sentiment in support of the principles embodied in this bill. We unite with the friends of public educa- tion throughout our country in urging that Congress give prompt recognition to the primary importance of education in relation to the Nation’s welfare. We earnestly protest against the submerging of education in any other Department of the Government or the subordination of education to any other National in- terest. 11. We call upon the teachers of America to unite under the banner of the National Education Association in carrying forward the great program of service to which the Association is com- mitted. We urge professional organiza- tion fashioned after our American form of Government: a local organization of 121 teachers in every community to develop public sentiment in support of education and to co-operate in the solution of local educational problems; a State educational association in every commonwealth to develop through State legislation an ef- ficient and adequately supported school system; and the National Education As- sociation which shall include all the teachers of the country to support a Na- tional program of education in co-opera- tion with all forward-looking men and women who realize that only through public education can we hope to preserve our priceless American institutions. Resolved that the Representative As- sembly record its grateful appreciation for the splendid hospitality tendered the Association by the people and the city of Des Moines; for the untiring efforts of the chairman and members of the local committee; for the co-operation of the Chamber of Commerce, civic organiza- tions, the press, and the citizens gener- ally, all of which have helped to make this convention one of the most successful meetings in the history of the National Education Association. The Secretary s Report at Des Moines ERHAPS nowhere more than in the report of the Secretary at Des Moines is the Association’s growth in membership and influence revealed. This report, which contains the reports of the four heads of departments at the central office, is thoroughly constructive. It contains accounts of the work of the year past and proposals for work for the year ahead which are a prophecy of the greater Association that is to be. The headquarters’ organization is dia- gramed on the chart printed herewith. The principle upon which the work of the central office is organized is stated by the Secretary as follows: “The fundamental principle which is embodied in the Educational Bill now before Congress leaving to State and local agencies important duties and re- sponsibilities is no more necessary and sound for the organization of a Depart- ment of Education than for the organi- zation of the Association’s central office. The observance of this principle means that much of the important statistical and field work are to be done by State and local agencies. The National Edu- cation Association renders an_ inspira- tional and directive service through its Field Secretary and assistants, and it can never do much more than that. To do the investigational and statistical work on a large scale at the central office would require an outlay far beyond the present income of the National Educa- tion Association. “We believe that by securing the co- operation of State and local affiliated associations whose combined member- ships now exceed 400,000 teachers, and . “= ae ta” NATIONAL EDUCATION ASSOCIATION OF THE UNITED STATES ADQUARTERS ORGAMITATION~-~-- SECRETARY'S OFFICE ®TCONTH STREET NORTMOEST, wa UEDER THE GIOTRAL SuPCAViSeR OF THE QIMERAL ORECTION~~~REm PUBLICATIONS JOY ELMER MORGAR EDITOR THE JOURNAL OF THE WEA | OURWAL~ ADFCR TISING- GENERA BUT NEST PROCFEDINGS-REPORTS-GENERAL PUBLICITY RSTRLANDSEN , ASSISTANT SaEME TARY COMMERCIAL ExnigiTS by encouraging them to do field work, and make investigations the central office will accomplish more for the profession and the cause of education than by at- tempting to do all this work itself.” “Our problem,” says the report, “has never been that of securing the co-opera- tion of State and local associations, de- partments of education in colleges and normal schools, and of research agencies of the country. Our Association has al- ways had the cordial and active support of all of these. The problem has been that of getting important matters before these agencies for effective work and that of bringing together the results of the work for the benefit of all. “It will no longer be difficult to get these matters before State and local as- sociations and other agencies that give thought to educational problems and policies. This difficulty has been met in the organization of the Association on a representative basis and in the plan for affiliating State and local associations with the National Association. The or- ganization is complete and all affiliated units and helping agencies are ready to assist in the investigational and other work to be outlined at this meeting. It will require the best thought and organ- izing ability which can be put into the work at the central office to meet the demands of the profession and to measure up to our new opportunity. “We now have a united profession. Nothing but a unity of interest and pur- pose could have increased the member- ship in the Association from 8000 to 75,000 in less than four years and noth- ing but a united profession could have performed the miracle of reorganizing the Association and putting it on a repre- sentative basis, welding the State and local associations of the entire country into one great federation of working units in the short period of one year.” 122 Tue JourNAL OF THE NATIONAL EDUCATION ASSOCIATION The estimated expenditures for the year 1921-22 as given in the report are: Board of Trustees____--- $357.65 Executive Committee__~-_ 3,225.37 General Secretary’s office__ 78,800.00 Express and freight------ 1,000.00 _ ree: are 63,800.00 Appropriations for commit- i) =P ST 18,100.00 Auditing accounts.__---- 500.00 Unclassified expenses_-_--- 1,000.00 Office fixtures and furniture 5,000.00 Annual convention.____-- 6,000.00 Department of Superin- | TR 3,000.00 To meet deficit._._.._____~_ 10,877.59 To provide surplus____-- 11,089.39 I $202,750.00 The following recommendations were made by the Secretary to the Executive Committee, Board of Directors, and Representative Assembly: 1. To continue to recognize in the organization and work of the Association the principle in the Educational Bill which assigns important duties and re- sponsibilities to local and State agencies. 2. To approve of the present editorial policy of the JoURNAL, as set forth in the report of the Managing Editor and to approve of its business methods as outlined in the report of the Business Manager. A part of this policy is for the Association to make the platform and for the JOURNAL to support and pro- mote it. 3. To approve of receiving contribu- tions for the permanent fund and to pro- vide in the By-Laws for a $100 life membership as a means of increasing the permanent fund. 4. To authorize the Executive Com- mittee to equip the central office for aid- ing committees in doing the work as- signed to them and to make the central office jointly responsible with the com- mittees in the preparation of reports. 5. To take action terminating the life of all committees of the Association and its departments with this meeting and to provide that hereafter the life of a com- mittee will automatically terminate with the year for which appointed, except as continued by a vote of the Representative Assembly. 6. To assign definitely to the Secre- tary the same relation to the Executive Committee in the appointment and dis- missal of members of the headquarters staff that the superintendent of the city system of schools bears to the board of education, and to observe the same gen- eral rules of tenure at the central office as the Association recommends for teachers. 7. To work out a budget system for local, State, and National Associations to recommend its adoption by all affili- ated units. OHN J. TIGERT, who on June 1, 1921, succeeded Philander P. Claxton as United States Commissioner of Education. 8. To approve of the plan of work with State and local affiliated associations and other agencies for the coming year as suggested in this report under Plan of Co-operation: (a) To present to each affiliated State and local association and to each co- operating agency at the beginning of the school year a list of problems for investi- gation and study and to ascertain the items and problems to which each will give special attention; (4) to keep all associations which are studying the same problems in touch with each other; (c) to gather in and summarize results or have this done by some other agency and to give out the summary to all co-operat- ing associations and to the members of the Association; (d) to submit questions pertaining to the work of committees for the consideration of these agencies; (e) to submit in a similar manner emergency problems on the request of affiliated as- sociations; (f) to call on all these or- ganizations for help in important mat- ters of legislation and to extend help to them as needed in the solution of their local problems. September, 1991 “In conclusion,” says the report, “the year has been one of growth. The in. creased membership and the extended activities of the Association are evidence of the new spirit which has more and more animated the teachers of the coun- try. It is most gratifying at this time, when there is great danger of lowering the levels of the moral life of our people by undue appeal to selfish interests, to see the teachers of the Nation working together six hundred and fifty thousand strong, to conserve the good, the noble, and the unselfish in the hearts of the rising generation. “Teachers have in all ages been called upon to preserve the great ideals of hu- manity, but at no time have the teachers of America responded in better spirit to meet a critical situation. At no previous time in the history of our country have teachers been so well organized for ef- fective work. The great body of work- ers constituting the teaching profession through their federated organizations, commencing with the local groups and extending up through the State associa- tions to the National Association, are able to carry out their purposes for the betterment of their own conditions, for the promotion of the teaching profession, and for the advancement of education throughout the Nation. The potential possibilities of such an organization can hardly be estimated. By working to- gether unitedly and by co-operation with other great national organizations in- terested in the promotion, through edu- cation, of the highest welfare of our country, it is possible to exert an ever- increasing influence in shaping the poli- cies of the Nation. “Never before have the organized edu- cators of America exerted such an in- fluence as they do today in the halls of Congress. A prominent Congressman recently declared that the educators of the country are now commanding the respect of the politicians and the admira- tion of statesmen. The influence of our, National Association is greatly in- creased by the fact that what we ask of Congress is not primarily for ourselves, but in behalf of the rising generation in America, the future citizens of our country, upon whom admittedly rests the hope and future prosperity of our Nation. “Let every member of this Association and every teacher dedicate himself anew to the great unfinished task remaining before us. Let us hold ourselves re- sponsible as an Association and as a pro- fession for furnishing such educational leadership as will support and uphold the principles of democracy and _ assist in the realization of the highest and noblest of American ideals.” ion ew ing yr 0- nal old and HAT is the present status of the Towner-Sterling bill ?- What prospect is there that the present Congress will create a Department of Education, and make appropriations to encourage the States in the promotion of education? ‘That these questions are in the minds of the friends of education is indicated by the numerous inquiries re- ceived.

C.; Miss Abbot is the only woman on the list of official delegates. In addition to these there are several others in attendance as visitors; among these is Miss Barbara Greenwood, of the Kindergarten De- partment of the Southern Branch of the University of California, who will represent the International Kindergarten Union. The training of its employes for pro- motion will be undertaken by the paper industry of the United States and Can- ada. After three years of preparation, and the expenditure of $30,000 in prepa- ration of textbooks, the paper manu- facturers are now ready to train their mill workers. This was the report presented to the annual convention of the Technical As- sociation of the Paper and Pulp industry of the United States when the joint edu- cational committee of the American and Canadian Associations presented the first two volumes of the series of five prepared for paper-mill workers. Three more volumes, completing the series, will be ready before the students have completed the first two of the group. The report was accompanied by a de- tailed survey of the industry made to determine the lines of promotion within the industry, as a guide to workers for what higher jobs they should be trained in order to be able more quickly to win 126 advancement. This survey classifies every type of man and woman employe in a paper mill, the requirements, duties, equipment, and line of promotion. It was made by J. G. Wright, Assistant Director for industrial education of the Federal Board of Vocational Education. In this report Mr. Wright said that men and women should be prevented by edu- cation from becoming mere automatic machines and should be taught to use their mental equipment. “The survey reveals,” he says, “that a large number of occupations must be regarded as relatively low in skill. The same survey indicates that opportunities do exist for the promotion of the better workers to jobs of greater responsibility.” A new educational journal—The National Conference on Educational Method, which was organized at the time of the Atlantic City meeting, has begun the publication of a monthly called The Journal on Educational Method. The Journal, like the Conference, prom- ises to make a significant contribution to the advancement of teaching. It is edited by James F. Hosic, Secretary-Treasurer of the Conference and Associate Pro- fessor of Education of Teachers College, Columbia University. It is the purpose of the Journal “to provide a means of unification of effort in the field of supervised teaching.” “This does not imply, however, a nar- row concentration upon classroom meth- ods as such. The term ‘educational method’ will be interpreted to mean, not only the procedures of teachers, but also those of the pupils on the one hand, and those of the supervisors and trainers of teachers on the other. The emphasis will fall upon principles that should be com- mon to all of these.” The Advisory Committee to the National Child Health Council on Health Education of School Children held its first meeting, with sixteen mem- bers present, in New York City on May 12th. The committee spent the entire day in reviewing the various problems in- volved in health education of school chil- dren and the desirable methods of ar- riving at a consensus of opinion. There was discussion of such matters as the work of grade teachers, the types of special teachers and others necessary for teaching health in schools and the cor- relation of their work, the relationship of health education in schools to that in the homes, the information that should be covered in the regular curriculum, in special class work, literature and so on. Also there was discussion of various methods used for educational purposes, such as special classes, graphic and dra- THe JOURNAL OF THE NATIONAL EDUCATION ASSOCIATION matic devices, project methods, organiza- tions of children, and others. The committee decided that sugges- tions as to questions that need to be an- swered in each of these subjects should be prepared carefully by the members and other experts, information being se- cured especially from places where there had been the best experience in the actual test of methods, machinery and the han- dling of various subjects.

De ‘uber- furry, ersity, Vol. 10, No. 7 Present Status of the Depart- ment of Superintendence R. G. JONES President of the Department of Superintendence, Superintendent of Schools, Cleveland, Ohio T THE Cleveland meeting of the Department of Superintendence a committee, consisting of A. E. Winship, Superintendent E. C. Hartwell, Superin- tendent J. W. Sexton, and Superintend- ent R. G. Jones, was appointed to pre- sent a resolution to the Department of Superintendence at its next annual meet- ing, providing for a plan for the election of officers. The members of this com- mittee took counsel with other superin- tendents and decided to submit in ad- dition to the plan for the election of officers, other measures for the better- ment of the Association. “The recom- mendations of the committee were pre- sented and duly approved by a substantial majority of the members of the Depart- ment of Superintendence at the regular business meeting at Atlantic City in February. Since the department is a subsidiary of the National Education Association, the recommendations were submitted to the Secretary of the Na- tional Education Association to be pre- sented at the Des Moines meeting for the approval of the parent association. The following amendments to the By- Laws were submitted to the heads of the departments of the various divisions and approved unanimously by the National Education Association in its business meeting at Des Moines on July 7th, 1921. The changes enacted are as follows: Amend Section 2, Article V, to read as follows: Each department shall have the right to fix the qualifications of its members for the purpose of electing officers and transacting the other business of the department ; provided active mem- bers of the Association, and no others, shall be eligible to such department mem- bership, and provided also that all active members of the Association shall be per- mitted to attend the professional pro- grams and discussions of any department. Amend Section 5, Article V, by adding the words: Any department may provide for the creation of an executive com- mittee and assign to it any duties con- sistent with the purposes of the depart- ment, and the Charter and By-Laws of the Association. Amend Section 6, Article V, by adding the words: Provided no department shall estadlish an office outside of the general headquarters of the Association, without the consent of the Executive Committee of the Association. Add a section to Article V, to be known as Section 9, to read as follows: Any department, by a two-thirds vote of those voting at any regular business meeting, may levy a membership fee to supplement its allowance from the Asso- ciation. Such membership fees shall be paid to the secretary of the department who shall transmit them monthly to the Secretary of the Association. Such funds shall be added to the department’s allow- ance from the Association and shall be used for the work of said department only, and shall be disbursed upon the recommendation of the executive officers of the department in the same manner as other funds of the Association are dis- bursed. The next meeting of the Department of Superintendence will be held February 27th to March 2d, inclusive, in Chicago. New Orleans was eliminated because it would be necessary to postpone the meet- ing until the conclusion of the Mardi Gras. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednes- day will be devoted exclusively to the superindendent’s program. It is hoped that if college dinners must be given dur- ing these three days, these may be given from five to eight o’clock on Wednesday evening, March Ist. The Congress Hotel will be headquarters. It is planned to house the meetings in a group of hotels on Michigan Avenue, including the Congress, Auditorium, Stratford, and Blackstone Hotels. The main audience room for the Association will be in the Auditorium Theater. S. D. Shankland, of Willoughby, Ohio, has been appointed by the executive committee as secretary of the Depart- ment of Superintendence. Martin G. Hogge, Assistant Superintendent of Schools, Chicago, will act as chairman of the hotel committee and will provide for local hotel accommodations. Reduced passenger rates have been provided for and hotel accommodations will be at normal prices. The general plan for the program is under way and a forecast will be pub- lished in a fall issue of this JoURNAL. The Department of Superintendence has asked for a degree of autonomy that will permit the work of the department to be carried forward with dispatch. THE JOURNAL OF THE NATIONAL EDUCATION ASSOCIATION 127 Any action which has been proposed for the reorganization of the Department of Superintendence is only such action as may be necessary in any rapidly develop- ing institution, commercial or otherwise. It will be remembered that the recom- mendation at the Atlantic City meeting provided for the admission to the Depart- ment of Superintendence in an official way, of State, county, and city superin- tendents (1000 population and above) assistant superintendents and all State and National officers of school adminis- tration who are members of the National Education Association. This restriction was made in an arbitrary way, pending the time that an actual survey of the entire Department of Superintendence might be made to determine to what ex- tent membership should be restricted. In order to determine what organiza- tions might be represented at the next meeting of the department in February, 1922, the president of the Department of Superintendence recently sent out questionnaires to one hundred superin- tendents as follows: Will you please check the organizations enumerated below that you would like to see recognized and provided for at the next meeting of the Department of Superintend- ence? The Executive Committee desires your judgment on this matter. Please make reply at once so that we may use this data in our Executive Committee meeting in Des Moines.

The thirty-seven replies received prior to the meeting of the Executive Com- mittee at Des Moines were canvassed and the following tabulation resulted: V otes—Organizations 31—National Council of Education, 22—National Council of State Departments of Education, 12—Department of Rural Education, 2s—Department of School Administration, 13—Department of Vocational Education, s—American Home Economics Association, 7—Americanization and Citizenship Con- ference, 4—American School Citizenship League, 4—Association of Department of Education in State Universities and Land Grant Colleges, 2—Association of Principals of Schools for Girls, 2—Association of Teachers Children, of Crippled THE JOURNAL OF THE NATIONAL EDUCATION ASSOCIATION s—Boy Scouts and Public Schools, s5—Camp Fire Girls, 13—City Training School Section, 12—Committee on Reorganized Secondary Education, 5—Community Center Section, 2—Conference on Sex Education, 8—Educational Press Association of America, g—lInternational Kindergarten Union, 3—Modern Health Crusade, 8—National Association of Deans of Wo- men, 22—National Association of Educational Research, 3—National Association of Supervised Stu- dent Teaching, 14—National Association of High School Supervisors and Inspectors, 21—National Association of Secondary School Principals, 2—National Association of Teachers’ Agen- cies, 5—National Child Welfare Association, 7—National Conference on Educational Method, 8—National Congress of Mothers and.

The replies indicated that administra- tive service or closely allied interests only + September, 1921 should be represented in the next pro- gram of the department, and the presi- dent and executive committee, therefore announce that the following units wil] be represented on the program to be given in February: National Council of Education, National Council of State Depart. ments of Education, Department of Rural Education, National Association of High School Supervisors and Inspectors, Department of Vocational Education, City Training School Section, National Association of Directors of Educational Research, National Association of Secondary School Principals, National Council of Primary Educa- tion, National Society of College Teachers of Education, National Society for Study of Educa- tion, Department of Principals. Since the Department of Superintend- ence is now officially authorized to de- fine its own membership, at the next meeting any adjustment of units desired by the membership may be made. There- fore, if eliminations or additions are to be considered these should be proposed at the business meeting next February. It is assumed by the executive com- mittee that the judgment expressed in the questionnaires is representative, and this has been more fully confirmed by the additional blanks which have been checked and returned since. The com- mittee is presenting an organization and program which, in our judgment, will best serve the need. School Elementary ee me Se Bee ee ee eee (POR SRO SRe omen emeemeneme: de NOTES aud ANNOUNCEMENTS + The fairness and democracy with which President Hunter presided over the deliberations of the Representative Assembly at Des Moines were heartily commended by the delegates. There was a genial impartiality and generosity in the President’s manner, coupled with an efficiency and dispatch in the transaction of business which will be long remem- bered by those privileged to attend this first meeting of the Representative As- sembly. Mr. Hunter distinguished him- self also by the force, comprehensiveness, and convincing power of his presidential address. This address will stand out as one of the landmarks in the Association’s history. 8 OO Oe) Oe) Oe Owes) ee ee + The growing spirit of co-operation between the American Legion and the National Education Association as indi- cated by the proposals of the Legion at the Des Moines meeting and by the statements in the resolutions of the Asso- ciation is highly gratifying to clear-think- ing members of both organizations. The American Legion in proportion as it keeps its work upon a high plane will be a dominating influence in political leader- ship during this generation. The educa- tional leadership of the National Educa- tion Association has already commanded the respect and admiration of statesmen, both in and out of Congress, and has at- tracted to the support of the Association's t é I iCa- 1ers 1Ca- 1001 been Som- and will rome: ation 1 the indi- on at - the hink- The as it ill be ader- duca- duca- anded smen, as at- tion’s Vol. 10, No. 7 program a score of organizations whose leaders have faith in education as the basis of all progress. In a very real sense, therefore, the cordial relations be- tween the Association and the Legion can be made to serve the best interests of the Nation. The decision to hold the sixtieth an- nual meeting of the Association in Bos- ton will come as welcome news to a large number of members. The oppor- tunity to combine attendance at this great professional gathering with a pil- grimage to one of the historic centers of the Nation makes a powerful appeal. The attendance at the meeting of the American Library Association, which, this year, met near Boston, broke all previous records by over fifty per cent. A similar experience is predicted for the N. E. A. meeting next July. Changes in the addresses of members of the Association are numerous at this season of the year. Many members fail to receive the JOURNAL promptly because they have moved to new addresses with- out notifying Headquarters. Members are kindly requested to report promptly any change of address, giving the old as well as the new address. The First Representative Assembly in its meeting at Des Moines more than justified the hopes of the most ardent advocates of reorganization. It was sane, well-led, and progressive. It ex- hibited an essential unity, an earnestness, and a devotion to its work which should make every delegate proud of the honor of being a member of it. The reports which the delegates to this first Assembly make to the organizations which they represent will give new impetus to the movement for a greatly enlarged mem- bership in all professional organiza- tions—local, State, and National. A summary of the minutes of this meeting will appear in a later issue. The Official Program of the Des Moines meeting contained a list of the State and local affiliated associations. Associations which affliated before the first meeting of the Representative As- sembly are considered charter members. Their names will be published in the annual volume of proceedings. The annual volume of Addresses and Proceedings, which is in press, will be especially rich in rural education. This subject which is the special field of the Department of Rural Education was also considered at some length by the National Council of Education’ and the Department of Superintendence.
