I have been lending it to the other teachers of our building hoping to interest them in at least active membership in the National Education Ass’n. The class inter- ruption trouble, as brought out in the article “Ts the Class Period for Teaching?” is a grave one. For years I have kept a record of my daily program and the presentations that had to be repeated because the point was lost thru interruptions. My work has been ' reduced to about 25 percent efficiency for long pe riods of time thru interruptions. It seems good to get so excellent a close-up of the U. S. Office of Educa- tion. I need such material as the poster “Benjamin Franklin and Beer.” It is a strong argument with children of foreign parentage that our national heroes are on the side of temperance. Most of the arguments they hear is from “‘wet’’ newspapers which misrepre- sent the liquor laws. The program of the Detroit con- vention is inspiring. One likes the bugle calls. It means that something is going to be done. The pro fession in action is interesting. Mrs. Susan M. Dorsey, former superin- tendent of Los Angeles schools, writes: The article “Is the Class Period for Teaching?” in the January 1931 JourRNAL is a timely statemelt. Something needs to be done and quickly to bring back poise and serenity and quiet for concentrated work. James Truslow Adams in the December 193) Forum comments on American restlessness in his a ticle “Our Changing Characteristics.” This restless ness is the greatest enemy of good teaching as well as of good execution in all lines of human endeavor, especially of creative effort. Every teacher can help—The Cooper bill which provides for federal aid in maternity and infancy work thruout the country is now in the Committee on Interstate and Foreigt Commerce of the U. S. House of Representa tives and an immediate hearing on it with favorable action is desired.

The broad beaches and surf- whitened headlands of the Pacific will be calling you all the way from the Mexican border and San Diego, north- ward to fascinating San Fran- cisco’s Golden Gate. But what of those precious days en route? Have you given thought to fill- ing their every unrelenting moment with its quota of interesting things seen and done and learned? The journey to or from California, via the Santa Fe, can be made in its own right a joyous education in the immensity that is America. The Santa Fe way from Chicago to Los Angeles is the shortest, by many miles. It is the only rail route under a single management all the way. It is the only railroad direct to the rim of that indescribable spectacle —the Grand Canyon of Arizona. And only via Santa Fe—through its comfortable Indian-detour side trips by motor—can one conveniently visit these prehistoric ruins, age-old in- habited Indian pueblos, quaint Mexi- can mountain settlements and scenic marvels that are the hidden glory of our Far Southwest.

Mention THe Journat when writing our advertisers. Febr u (Continued from page A-50) and national associations, teachers’ salaries are on higher levels than ever before. Excel- lent salary schedules are in force thruout the nation. The standard size of classes helps to conserve the health of both teacher and pupil, But the continuance of these higher levels js seriously threatened as a result of an unusual depression. Those who are opposed to present. day school support have seized upon this as the time to get the ear of the public. The state and national associations are thus forced, in the interests of the schools, to meet the issue in an effort to hold what has been gained thru years of struggle. With your help they will fight to the bitter end to prevent reductions in salaries, or undue increases jn the teacher-load. New posters available—Two additional post- ers are now available on art paper. They are To Protect the American Home and J er- dict of the Ages. Other posters which have been most popular in the past few weeks are The Greatest Social Advance of Modern Times, Science Outlaws Beverage Alcohol, and It’s the Brain that Counts. This last ranked fourth among JOURNAL articles that readers liked best. Fifteen hundred of these posters were recently ordered by one party in one lot. Write for order blank listing post- ers and giving prices. Watch THE JournaL each month for new posters. The spirit of Los Angeles—We should like to say to the teachers of our Nation, Los Angeles did not “get” the NEA convention for 1931. The fallacy of this statement lies in the fact that we consider this an opportunity to “give.” We know we have much to share with you teachers, and committees are shap- ing themselves to take care of every one of you.

President Hoover, who is exofficio chairman of the commission, will take the leading part in a series of celebrations which will cover the nation with Washington City as its center. The first date will be October 19, 1931, the 150th anniversary of the sur render of Yorktown, and the climax will be reached on the 200th birthday anniversary of George Washington in 1932.
