A large proportion of them were reported as paid, and\nconfidence was expressed that most, if not all, of the others will be paid. Attention was\ncalled to that part of the report showing that in certain cases payment of either principal\nor interest was in default. Chairman Lane also reported that the Board of Trustees had\nauthorized him to take legal steps to collect the overdue amounts in all cases where it\nmay be found possible to do so.\nOn motion of J. M. Greenwood, of Missouri, the report was received and approved,\nand ordered printed in the annual volume of Proceedings.\nThe report of the Committee on Nominations was presented by the chairman, L.

The ballot was cast as ordered,\nand the nominees were declared elected for the ensuing year.\nNicholas Murray Butler, of New York, called attention to by-law No. 4, and moved\nthe adoption of the following resolution :\nResolved, That, subject to the approval of the Executive Committee, as provided by the existing\nby-law No. 4, the memorial address upon the late President William M. Beardshear, prepared for the meeting\nof the National Council of Education by President William F. King of Mount Vernon College, la , be\nincorporated in the published Proceedings, despite the fact that the paper itself was not read, President\nKing having been detained by serious illness in his family.\n\nThe motion was unanimously carried.\nMr. Butler then asked permission to offer an amendment to by-law No. i, and\nexplained the necessity for the proposed amendment as follows :\nThe by law relating to the appointment of the nominating committee as it now stands\nis unworkable. [Reads the by-law.] It has been tried for six years. The records show\nthat it has never been complied with, except possibly in one or two cases. The records\nof the meetings of active members held this year show that the merest handful attended\nthe state meetings; in some cases fewer than 5 per cent, of those present here in Boston.\nThat the by-law has broken down and is incapable of operation is, I think, the judgment\nof a large majority of the members of the Association from every state who have expressed\nan opinion upon this subject. The fact that the by-law is unworkable became apparent\nalmost as soon as it was adopted. Ea.h year it has been urged that the time had come\nto change it, but each year any proposal for a change has been withheld in order to obtain\na wider experience. I know that 1 am stating a fact when I say that at this great meeting only an insignificant mmority participated in any way in the action contemplated by\nthe existmg by-law. The President of the Association has found that nearly if not quite\nevery certificate sent to him bore upon its face evidences of irregularity. I propose, therefore, that we meet the situation b}' striking oiit an impracticable and unworkable by-law,\nand go back to the condition of things which existed here in this Association for thirtysix years, by which the power to appoint this committee was placed in the hands of the\nPresident for the year. He can be held responsible for his action ; he is known to all of\nus ; and he is chosen because we know him and deem him worthy of the responsibility.\nThis is the democratic and the effective method of procedure. I ask, therefore, that a\ntwo-thirds vote be given, as required by the constitution, for the fullwwing ainemlment to\nthe by-laws, and I offer, Mr. President, a resolution to effect the amendiucnl, o.^ follows :\nResolved, That the by-laws of the National Educational Association be amended as follows:\nExisting by-laws numbered 2, 3, 4, and 5 to be numbered 3, 4, 5, and 6, respectively.\nFor existing by-law numbered i, the following by-laws numbered i and 2 to be substituted:\n\n"} {"page": 37, "printed_page": null, "text": "JOURNAL\n\nOF PKOCKEDIXGS\n\n25\n\n1. At the first session of each annual meeting of the Association there shall be appointed by the President a committee on resolutions.\n2. Not later than the third session of each annual meeting of the Association there shall be appointed by\nthe President a committee on nominations, consisting of one active member from each state and territory\nrepresented at the meeting.\n\nI move, sir, the adoption of this resolution, noting at the same time that it requires\nfor its passage a two-thirds vote of those present and voting.\nMiss Marg.*ret a. Haley, of Illinois : Mr. President, 1 rise to speak against that\nresolution and the proposed amendment to the by-laws. I am opposed to the centralizing\nof power any more than we have already done in the National Educational Association.\nI believe the proposed amendment would be a backward movement. It is against\ndemocracy; it is centralization. It would take away from the active members in each\nstate the small measure of power which they now have and place it in the hands of one\nwho is selected entirely apart from the action or choice of the state members. I am\nopposed to the proposed amendment on general principles, and I am opposed to it for\nspecial reasons. Illinois had in active members present on Tuesday morning at 9\no'clock at the state headquarters at the meeting of active members, and there were some\nten or twelve more who came in a few minutes too late to vote. I do not know whether\nit is because the women of Illinois have awakened to the situation and to their power as\nshown by the vote cast at that meeting, 74 to 37, that this attempt is made to shut us out,\nbut it looks like it. If you men pass this amendment, you certamly leave yourselves\nopen to that charge, whether right or wrohg. Under the present constitution and by-laws\nyou have left an opening for the women. Why^io you want to close it? The women\npay about nine-tenths of the money in this Association, and they make up a corresponding proportion of the attendance at the convention. If such an important matter as\nthis was intended to be brought befoie this body, at least one year's notice should have\nbeen given. It certainly should not be passed today. It should be postponed for one\nyear, and if next year we cannot secure enough activity on the part of the members to\nmake the present by-law operative, then bring up this amendment. But for myself, I\nthink it is wrong in principle. I believe the proper people to make the selection of\nmembers of the nominating committee are the people from each state. If there were only\nthree present at any meeting, you have no right to take away the rights of those three\nmembers. Do you think the people would tolerate for a moment the proposal to take\naway 4;heir right to vote at the primary elections because 95 per cent, of the qualified\nvoters stayed at home ? Not at all. You men would not do it. I move that the resolution be deferred for one year.\nThe President : \" Miss Haley has made the motion that consideration of the resolutions presented by President Butler be postponed until next year.\nCarroll G. Pearse, of Nebraska : I regret to see any attempt made in this Association toline up the men and the women on opposite sides of this question. I think\nthis matter should be considered as one of principle, to be decided on its own merit, and\nnot upon a division of the sexes. The by-law which it is now proposed to change was\npassed in response to what was regarded as essential in the conduct of the affairs of the\nAssociation. That by-law has in many instances been inoperative for lack of a quorum;\nstill I believe that it is a useful rule. I should think it extremely unfortunate if this\nAssociation should take away from its members the right which they now enjoy of participating inthis matter. I move, therefore, as an amendment to Dr. Butler's motion, that\nby-law No. i be so amended as to provide that a majority of the active members present at\nthe meeting called for the purpose of selecting the member of the nominating committee,\nif more than three, shall have the right to select tlie member of the nominating committee.\nThe President: Does President Butler accept the amendment?\nMr. Butler : I should prefer the amendment to the existing by-law, but I should\nprefer my motion to either of them.\n\n"} {"page": 38, "printed_page": null, "text": "26\n\nNATIONAL\n\nEDUCATIONAL\n\nASSOCIATION\n\nThe President : Does that mean that President Butler declines to accept the\namendment ?\nMr. Butler : Yes.\nS. Y. GiLLAN, of Wisconsin : I rise to support Miss Haley's motion. I wish she had\nmade the motion for indefinite postponement, instead of to postpone for one year. To\nme this seems to be a reappearance of the old spirit of centralization, which was\nscotched, but not killed, in 1897, when the meeting was held in Milwaukee.\nThe President : It is entirely impossible to obtain evidence that the by-law has\nbeen conformed to during its existence; it was not conformed to in a single case in\nthe meetings of this week for the election of members of the nominating committee.\nMr. Gillan, of Wisconsin : Why do you give that interpretation ? May not that\nword \"attendance\" mean attendance at that particular meeting of the active members\nfrom that state ? It is entirely a matter of interpretation.\nThe President : The reading of the by-law is this : \" The same to be appointed\nby the President on the nomination of a majority of the active members in attendance\nfrom such state or territory,\" etc. It is perfectly clear that the by-law expects an action in\nnominatio» by the majority of the active members present at the Association meeting, and\nJ found that the expectation had not been realized in a single case this year. Moreover,\nit is next to impossible, even in a small convention, and it was absolutely impossible in this\nBoston convention, to ascertain in season what number of active members was in attendance\nfrom any particular state or territory.\nThe Secretary could not furnish that information.\nThomas W. Bicknell, of Rhode Island : The principle of the present by-law is a\ncorrect one. Representatives of the various states should have the power to elect the\nofficers called for by this by-law. Of that there can be no question. It seems to me we\nhave reached the point in state and national life where that is recognized. It seems to\nme that this matter should go over for another year. It has now been brought to our\nnotice. President Butler has very clearly set Eorth the condition of things, and I have no\ndoubt that that condition will be removed, and, instead of three members being present, I\nbelieve the majority of active members from every state will be present hereafter, I hope,\ntherefore, that the motion of Miss Haley will prevail, that action on this matter may be\npostponed, and that we may be allowed a year for the consideration of the question.\nJames H. Canfield, of New York: I simply desire to say that what I have heard\nhere today with regard to centralization and autocracy is just as absurd and as foreign to the spirit of this Association as the talk of deciding this question by a division\nof the sexes. I very earnestly desire that this matter shall be considered on its merits,\"\nand that a motion made here to amend the by-laws shall not immediately bring up someone who will speak about movements that have been \"scotched, but not killed,\" and use\nlanguage which certainly does not properly apply to the motives, the purpose, or the\nthought of any member of this Association as I have known it for over twenty years,\nEugene Bouton, of Massachusetts : I move an amendment to the motion offered\nby Dr. Butler so that the by-law shall provide that any number in attendance at this\nmeeting of active members shall constitute a quorum.\nMiss Haley : Mr. President, I wish to accept that amendment in place of my motion.\nThe President : Miss Haley withdraws her motion to postpone until next year.\nDoes President Butler accept the amendment to his motion made by Mr. Bouton ?\nMr. Butler : No, sir, I do not. I prefer to have a vote upon my motion.\nMiss Gertrude Edmund, of Massachusetts : I wish to say that, altho I am a\nwarm admirer of Miss Haley and the work she has done, I do not agree that we have not\nbeen fairly treated by the gentlemen of this convention. I want to thank the gentlemen\nwho are present for all that they have done for the women who have shown an interest in\nthe work of the Association.\nMr. Butler : I trust that the members of the Association will consent to vote upon\nthe pending motion solely from the standpoint of principle and of practical effectiveness.\n\n"} {"page": 39, "printed_page": null, "text": "JOURNAL\n\nOF PROCEEDINGS\n\n27\n\nand not be misled by wholly irrelevant matters. I should not have made any motion\nwhatever had I not been very jealous of the Association's standards of effectiveness and\nmethods of procedure. Nothing would please me more than to see 75 per cent, or 100 per\ncent, of the active membership of each state present at every meeting and co-operating to\nelect the member of the nominating committee from that state. But it is absolutely and\nutterly impracticable. Experience has shown this conclusively. Anyone who will examine the records of this year's state meetings and those of previous years will find that,\nunder the guise of transferring a privilege to active members, this privilege has been\ntransferred to one or two active members in many of the states. This is the very reverse\nof demociatic. It is a concentration of power in a wholly irresponsible group of persons.\nI saw a certificate last year which was signed by a member of the Association saying that\nat the meeting the number of active members present was \" one,\" that the meeting nominated for member of the nominating committee \" himself,\" and he signed the certificate\nas chairman of the meeting. There are several certificates in my hand which show just\nabout the same facts. That is not a proper condition of affairs. My proposition for a\nchange is a purely practical proposition. This is a very large and businesslike association, and why shouldn't it do its business in a businesslike and responsible way ? Why\nlet ourselves be confused by an abstract and untrue proposition about \" democracy \" when\nwe are faced by six years' experience of the most undemocratic action imaginable ?\nDuring all of this time the President has appointed the nominating committee because\nof the illegality of the elections themselves or the illegality of almost every record that\ncame to his hands. Therefore I do not see how the situation would be improved by\ndecreasing the number of active members who are obliged to attend in order that this\nelection may be legal, as would be the effect of the proposed amendment to my resolution;\nnor do I see the use of postponing action upon this question, now that it has been raised.\nI should prefer to see a direct vote taken in order that this matter may be settled.\nThomas A. Mott, of Indiana : To me it seems like a backward step to take away\nfrom the members of the several states the power to make the selections for the nominating\ncommittee. In my opinion, it is better that three who are interested shall make the nomination than that a by-law should be so carefully constructed that the members in attendance from the several states shall have no voice in this matter. State representation was\nthe thing we fought for in Milwaukee, and I am in favor of voting for it here.\nThe President : Before the question is put I will takethe liberty of stating to the\nmembers just how the by-law has worked this year. I was simply an observer. I wished\nto conform to this by-law, of course. I immediately found that to be impossible. I\nfound that I was obliged personally to appoint all the members of this nominating committee. Ifthe amendment which is made by Mr. Bouton prevails, the appointing, however, will lie in the hands of whatever small number of persons attend the meetings\nby states, and the President of the Association will then accept and confirm those\nnominations. A very small number of persons will, presumably, attend those meetings.\nI think the active members here present would deceive themselves if they felt that under\nsuch a provision the state would really be getting any representation at all. That is the\ndifficulty with the present situation. All of us, I suppose, would desire a real representation of the members by states in the selection of this nominating committee. The present\narrangement gives no such real representation by states, and I conceive that Mr. Bouton's\namendment will not give that desirable thing. The advantage of the amendment proposed by President Butler is that the nominations will be made by a responsible person,\nresponsible to the Association. He is a person who is in office but a year, and he cannot\nhave any motive for preferring one man to another in the representation on this nominating committee. He is a temporary official himself, immediately replaced after this act.\nThe existing method and the method proposed in the amendment will inevitably result in\nthe delegation of this appointing power to small irresponsible bodies, which I think our\npolitical experience has taught us is not a desirable method of nomination.\nWhat more\n\n"} {"page": 40, "printed_page": null, "text": "NATIONAL\n\n28\n\nEDUCATIONAL\n\nASSOCIATION\n\ndesirable method than the present can be arrived at I am not prepared to advise, but I\nhave felt it my duty to say that it has seemed to me, from my experience this week, that\nthe former method of nomination was certainly better than the present method. That is\nas far as my official experience enables me to go.\nMiss Haley : I should like to ask two questions, if I may. Under the plan presented byDr. Butler, the President of the National Educational Association appoints the\nnominating committee, and the nominating committee in turn appoints the President, and\nthen the President appoints the next nominating committee, and that nominating committee appoints the President.\nMay I ask the chair if I am right ?\nThe President : The answer to Miss Haley's question seems to me to be this :\nOne President appoints a committee to nominate all the officers for the ensuing year, and\nthat committee nominates another President — a totally different person; but the election\nis by the general meeting of active members, and not by any committee whatever. It is\nimportant to notice, as a qualification of Miss Haley's argument, that the President of\nthe year cannot be a nominee for re-election.\nMiss Haley : You have answered one question to the effect that we should have\nunder Dr. Butler's amendment a self-perpetuating machine. The question that I desire\nnext to ask is this : Does not the amendment presented by Mr. Bouton, the one which I\naccepted in place of my motion, remove the objection, which the President makes, that\nhe was obliged to appoint, or did appoint, the members of the nominating committee,\nsince none of the appointments made by the different states conformed to the provisions\nof the by-law ? Is not that objection removed by providing that any number of active\nmembers present at the meeting shall constitute a quorum competent to do business ?\nThe President: The answer to Miss Haley's question is that Mr. Bouton's amendment\nwill provide a legal mode of operation.\nOur present method cannot be legally operated.\nAt this point a general discussion ensued as to the effect of the amendment offered by\nMr. Bouton to the resolution of Mr. Butler amending the by-laws.\nA motion by A. S. Downing, of New York, to lay the question on the table for one\nyear was defeated.\nPresident Eliot explained, in answer to a question, that the adoption of Mr. Bouton's\namendment and the subsequent adoption of Mr. Butler's motion by a two-thirds vote\nwould amend the by-law to read, after the word \" President \" in the fourth line, as follows :\n\"On the nomination of a majority of the active members from such state and territory\npresent at the meeting called for the purpose of making such nomination;\" and would\neliminate the provision of the by-law requiring for a quorum the presence of a majority,\nnot less thanthree, of the active members in attendance (on the convention) from each\nstate or territory.\nThe amendment of Mr. Bouton was then passed.\nA vote on the resolution of Mr. Butler, as amended, was then taken, resulting in: ayes,\n123 ; noes, 43. The resolution as amended was declared adopted by a two-thirds vote.\nIn answer to a question as to the future -relations of the President of the Association\nto the nominating committee, President Eliot stated that, as he understood the action just\ntaken, the President under the new by-law will simply record the nominations made by\nthe state meetings, and will then proceed to fill vacancies where state meetings have\nfailed to make nominations.\nThe Secretary announced the receipt of a communication and resolutions from Miss\nMargaret A.

M.\nThe topic for the evening was \"Education in the Southern States.\" This subject\nwas presented in addresses as follows:\n'* The Beginning and Aims of the General Educa^on Board,\" by Wallace Buttrick,\nsecretary and executive officer of the General Education Board, New York city.\n\"The Educational Needs of the Southern Negro,\" by Rev. Charles T.

The United States Bureau of Education has amply proved its usefulness to the\nnation. Its publications are standard works of reference for school officers and teachers\neverywhere. The Bureau of Education should be made an independent administrative\ndepartment, such as were the Departments of*Agnculture and of Labor before their\nelevation to cabinet rank. Sufficient appropriations should be made by the Congress to\nenable the Commissioner of Education to extend the scope and add to the usefulness\nof his work.\n\n"} {"page": 42, "printed_page": null, "text": "30\n\nNATIONAL\n\nEDUCATIONAL\n\nASSOCIATION\n\n2. The condition of affairs in the Indian Territory, where fully three-quarters of the\npopulation are reported as being without schools for their children, demands the immediate\nattention of the Congress. Provision should be speedily made by which the people of\nthe Indian Territory will have power to establish and carry on a system of public\nschools, so that all classes of citizens in the Indian Territory may have the educational\nopportunities which are enjoyed by their fellow-citizens in other parts of the country.\n3. Teaching in the public schools will not be a suitably attractive and permanent\ncareer, nor will it command as much of the ability of the country as it should, until the\nteachers are properly compensated and are assured of an undisturbed tenure during efficiency\nand good behavior. A large part of the teacher's reward must always be the pleasure in\nthe character and quality of the work done; but the money compensatipn of the teacher\nshould be sufficient to maintain an appropriate standard of living. Legislative measures\nto give support to these principles deserve the approval of the press and the people.\n4. The true source of the strength of any system of public education lies in the\nregard of the people whom it immediately serves, and in their willingness to make sacrifices for it. For this reason a large share of the cost of maintaining public schools should\nbe borne by a local tax levied by the county or by the town in which the schools are.\nState aid is to be regarded as supplementary to, and not as a substitute for, local taxation\nfor school purposes. In many parts of the United States a large increase in the amount\nof the local tax now voted for school purposes, or the levying of such a tax where none\nnow exists, is a pressing need if there are to be better schools and better teachers.\n5. The highest ethical standards of conduct and of speech should be insisted on\namong teachers. It is not becoming that commercialism or self-seeking should shape\ntheir actions, or that intemperance should mark their utterances. A code of professional\nconduct clearly understood and rigorously enforced by public opinion is being slowly\ndeveloped, and will doubtless one day control all teachers worthy of the name.\n6. It is important that school buildings and school grounds should be planned and\ndecorated so as to serve as effective agencies for educating, not only the children, but the\npeople as a whole, in matters of taste. The school is becoming more and more a community center, and its larger opportunities impose new obligations. School buildings\nshould be attractive as well as healthful, and the adjoining grounds should be laid out\nand planned with appropriateness and beauty.\n7. Disregard for law and for its established modes of procedure is as serious a danger\nas can menace a democracy. The restraint of passion by respect for law is a distinguishing mark of civilized beings. To throw off that restraint, whether by appeals to brutal\ninstincts or by specious pleas for a law of nature which is superior to the laws of man, is\nto revert to barbarism. It is the duty of the schools so to lay the foundations of character in the young that they will grow up with a reverence for the majesty of the law.\nAny system of school discipline which disregards this obligation is harmful to the child\nand dangerous to the state. A democracy which would endure must be as law-abiding\nas it is liberty-loving.\nNicholas Murray Butler, of New York, Chairman;\nAndrew S. Draper, of Illinois;\nJames M.

G. Lane, of Chicago, 111., and, on motion, was accepted and adopted by a unanimous vote.\nPresident Eliot: As President of this Association 1 have had an opportunity to\nexamine into the state of the property and the receipts and expenditures of this institution, and am glad to be able to assure the directors that the National Educational Association has on hand a substantial endowment of more than $100,000, the income of which\nmeets its permanent expenses. Moreover, this is increasing, as you have heard. It\nincreased ;$ 10,000 last year, and I am quite sure it will increase still more this year.\nAppreciating their responsibilities, the Board of Trustees have today decided upon an\nexceedingly conservative policy in the management of this property.\nDirector Charles H. Keyes, of Connecticut, member of the Committee of Eleven on\nFormulation of Contemporary Educational Doctrine, called attention to the action of the\nDepartment of Superintendence of the National Educational Association, at the recent\nCincinnati meeting, requesting that an appropriation not exceeding ;552,500 be made to\nsaid committee for expenses in pursuance of its work. Director Keyes urged the propriety of this appropriation, and reported the fact that the committee had already accomplished some work in the line of its duties.\nOn motion, the application was referred to the National Council for investigation\nand recommendation.\nDirector L. D. Harvey, of Wisconsin, offered the following resolution :\nResolved, That the National Council of Education be requested by the Board of Directors of the\nNational Educational Association to appoint a committee to report to that body, after such investigation as\nmay seem desirable, conclusions as to what should be undertaken in the field of industrial education in schools\nin rural communities, and to recommend such an appropriation as may be necessary for carrying on the investigation and preparation of the report.\n\nDirector Harvey, in support of his resolution, said : The reason for offering this\nresolution at this time-is that all thru the middle West, in the South, and even in some\nof the New England states, the question of what can be done, especially in the field of\nelementary agricultural instruction in rural schools, is a live one. In a number of states\nlaws have been enacted requiring teachers to pass examinations on that subject in order\nto teach. In other states laws have been passed making it mandatory that instruction in\nelementary agriculture be given in the rural schools.\nThere is a very widespread feeling that something should be done, but the difficulty\nis that nobody knows today what ought to be done, or what can be done. In Canada in\n1872 they undertook by law to put the teaching of agriculture into the public schools,\nwithout a definite idea of what should be done. The result was a failure, and the movement dropped out of sight three or four years ago. They are now taking it up again.\nWe are, however, undertaking certain lines of work from which we expect good results.\nA number of states — New York, Wisconsin, and others — are carrying on successful\nwork in this field today. It seems to me there is no subject that is more important for our\ncountry schools than this. We are in danger of making a serious mistake in attempting\nthis work without something definite being suggested as to what we shall do. It seems\nto me there is no more important work for the National Council than to appoint a committee of investigation on this subject and to recommend such an appropriation as may\nbe necessary to carry on the work.\nDirector W. T. Carrington seconded Director Harvey's motion, which was unanimously carried.\nThe Secretary then read the following communication :\nTo the Board\n\nof Directors, National Educationl\n\nAssociation :\n\nGentlemen :— In view of the increased interest shown thruout the country in the matter of the condition of the teachers, as to salary, tenure of position, pensions, and cost of living;\nIn view of the remarkable increase in cost of the necessities of life :\n\n"} {"page": 46, "printed_page": null, "text": "3 4-\n\nNA TIONAL\n\nED UCA TIONAL\n\nASSOC!

The change of the\nopening of the convention from Tuesday afternoon to Monday evening had rendered\ninoperative the by-law which provides for the meetings to occur at 5 : 30 P. M. of the first\nday of the convention, since, if strictly followed, the meetings wquld occur before the\nopening of the convention, before the various state headquarters would be open for use,\nand before the arrival of many of the members. It had therefore seemed advisable for\nall interests to announce these meetings for 9 o'clock A. M. Tuesday morning; but,\nobjection having been raised to this technical violation of the provisions of the by-law,\nthe announcement was changed in the Official Program to the effect that the meetings be\nheld at 5:30 p. m., Monday afternoon, and it was recommended in the announcement that\nthe meetings adjourn, without action, to the more favorable time sug;gested in the ProgramBulletin, namely, 9 o'clock A. M., Tuesday, July 7.\nDirector Nicholas Murray Butler, of New York, gave notice that, in view of the\nimpracticable provisions of by-law No. i, he should, at the proper time at the regular\nannual meeting of active members, move an amendment to the by-law in question.\nAfter announcements by the Secretary, the meeting adjourned.\nIrwin Shepard, Secretary.\n\n"} {"page": 47, "printed_page": null, "text": "MEETING\n\nOF THE\n\nNEW\nFOR\n\nBOSTON,\n\nBOARD\n\nOF DIRECTORS\n\n1903-1904\nMASS., July 9, 1903\n\nThe Board of Directors of the National Educational Association met in Trinity\nChapel, Boston, at 4:30 P.

C. Graham, county superintendent of schools for Hillsborough\ncounty, be appointed director.\nOn motion, the recommendation of Dr. Forbes was accepted, and B. C. Graham was\nunanimously appointed director for Florida.\nDirector E. H. Mark, of Kentucky, stated that it had been his own wish and the wish\nof the entire delegation from that state that S. L. Frogge, of Frankfort, Ky,, should be\nelected director; but, thru a misunderstanding, his own name had been entered for\n-that office in the report of the Committee on Nominations, and he had been duly elected.\nHe therefore tendered his resignation as director, with the request that S.

T. Harris, United\nStates Commissioner of Education, was elected to succeed himself as member of the\nExecutive Committee.\nA communication was received from the National Council transmitting the following\nreports to that body by its Committee on Investigations and Appropriations on certain\napplications to the Council for recommendation of appropriations by the Board of Directors. These reports were accompanied by resolutions embodying the action of the Council\non the reports.\nREPORT\n\nOF THE\n\nCOMMITTEE\n\nON\n\nINVESTIGATIONS\n\nAND\n\nAPPROPRIATIONS\n\nTo the Council:\nThe Committee on Investigations and Appropriations begs leave to report as follows relative to the\nseveral matters which have been before it either by reference from the Council or from the Board of Directors,\nor upon the initiative of the committee itself :\n1. Action on the proposal of President Baker, of Colorado, to appoint a committee, and to ask for an\nappropriation to inquire into the contemporary judgment as to the culture element in education and the time\nthat should be devoted to the combined school and college course, should await a clear definition of the topic\nto be studied and a precise indication of the methods of inquiry to be pursued. We recommend that the president of the Council be authorized to appoint a committee of five active members of the Association to undertake to define the question as presented by President Baker, the report of this committee to be printed and\ndistributed in advance of the next annual meeting of the Council, and its discussion made a special order for\nthat meeting.\n2. In reference to the request of a number of active members of the Association, made to the Board\nof Directors and referred by that board to this committee, that an investigation be undertaken to determine the economic condition of public-school teachers thruout the United States, your committee feels that\nthe time is ripe for the prosecution of such an inquiry. There is a great and growing interest thruout the\ncountry in matters relating to the condition of public- school teachers and their compensation, and there is\nevery reason to believe that, if the facts could be correctly ascertained and lucidly set forth, the effect upon\npublic opinion, and consequently upon the status of the teachers themselves, would be excellent. We, therefore,\nrecommend that the president of the Council be authorized to appoint a committee of seven, to consist of active\nmembers of the Association, and of not more than two experts in statistical and economic science, who may or\nmay not be members of the Association, to inquire and report to the Council upon the salaries, tenure of office,\nand.pension provisions for public- school teachers in the United States. We recommend that an appropriation\nof $1,500, or so much thereof as may be necessary, be asked from the Board of Directors to defray the necessary expenses of conducting the work of this committee.\n3. The committee is unable to recommend any appropriation to defray the cost of the work being carried\non by the so-called Committee on Formulation of Contemporary Educational Doctrine. The attention of the\nCouncil is called to the fact that, by resolution of the Board of Directors, and by
