The $100 life membership entitles one to the publications and privi- leges of the $5 membership for life. Several departments of the National Education Association have separate membership fees and issue department publications. One must be a member of the National Education Association before he can become a member of any department of the Association. The payment of one of the membership fees of the National Education Association does not include membership in any department having membership fee. ‘The membership of the depart- ments which issue publications follows: 1. The Department of Superintendence—$5 membership entitles one to receive for one year: (a) The Yearbook of the Department of Superin- tendence, which includes a list of members of the department; (b) The Official Report of the Winter Meeting; and (c) Research Bulletin (5 issues). 2. The Department of Elementary School Principals—$3 membership en- titles one to participate in the work of the department and to receive its bulletins issued in October, January, April, and July. The April number of the Bulletin is a Yearbook containing approximately three hundred pages including a list of members of the department. This volume of Proceedings is sent to all members of the National Edu- cation Association paying an annual fee of $5, or it may be purchased by nonmembers for $3. A space schedule for the departments was adopted by the Executive Committee in Cleveland, February, 1923. In accordance with this plan of space allotment, the officers of the departments have co- operated in deciding the selection of material for their respective depart- ments. Membership fees of the National Education Association and its depart- ments and inquiries concerning all publications should be sent to 1201 Six- teenth Street Northwest, Washington, D. C. [2] FOREWORD HIS IS the sixty-sixth annual record of the service of the National | Education Association to the teachers and children of America. ‘The administration of President Cornelia S. Adair, the first classroom teacher president of the Association, emphasized education for citizenship. ‘The summer meeting was held in Minneapolis. In contrast to 1927, both 1928 meetings were held nearer the centers of population. The Department of Superintendence met in Boston in February. A special feature of the meeting was the presentation to Mrs. Evangeline L. L. Lindbergh of a Life Membership in the National Educa- tion Association. Before an audience which packed Mechanics Hall, President Gwinn on behalf of the Department of Superintendence placed around Mrs. Lindbergh’s neck the chain that held the life membership emblem, explaining that he did so as a tribute to her as the mother of the world’s greatest flier and the teacher who by her modesty and devotion to duty reflected credit on the world’s greatest profession. Colonel Lind- bergh was present and addressed the audience, stressing the need for in- struction in elementary aeronautics in the schools. The Association took on wider opportunity and greater responsibility when, at Boston, the National Association of Secondary-school Principals became the Department of Secondary-school Principals of the National Education Association. ‘This merger had been under consideration for some time and was finally completed at the Boston Meeting. A new department appears in the Proceedings this year. It is the De- partment of Supervisors and Directors of Instruction, which was created by the Board of Directors at the Minneapolis meeting. An effort is made each year to improve the Proceedings by paying care- ful attention to the material for its content. A special effort is made to preserve those records and addresses which are the landmarks in the advance of the teaching profession throughout the years.
