The program will appear in the next number of the JOURNAL. It will be an outstanding program. At the general sessions teachers will have an opportunity to hear such leaders as Herbert Hoover, Ben B. Lindsay, Charles E. Barker, and Dr. Aurelia Reinhardt. Herbert Hoover is especially well known to the teachers of the Nation. As Mr. Hoover, food administrator, put a food-card in every home, Mr. Hoover, Secretary of Commerce, will put new faith and inspiration in the heart of every teacher who is so fortunate as to hear him at Des Moines. Judge Ben B. Lindsay's work in the juvenile courts and on the platform has been a part of the great movement for adequate recognition of the rights of childhood. There will be other speakers of national note on the main programs and outstanding specialists on a score or more of departmental and other programs. An active committee insures comfortable local arrangements. There will be good music throughout the meeting. Perhaps even more important than the great speakers, fine music, and opportunity for fellowship is the fact that this is the first meeting of the reorganized association. It will be an historic occasion to which in future years any teacher may well look back with pride that she had a part in it. The policies and objectives not only of the Association and its departments but even of American education will be defined at this meeting, which will stand out in the Association's history even as the great meeting of 1870 stands out as the beginning of a new era in professional organization. No teacher who can possibly be present can afford not to be at Des Moines July 4-9, 1921. Delegates of State and local affili ated associations to the Des Moines meeting are required to file their credentials with the Secretary of the Association on blanks furnished by him not later than ten days before the beginning of the meeting. June 24 is the tenth day before the meeting. Blanks may be had from the Secretary, 1201 Sixteenth St. N. W., Washington, D. C. Hotel Reservations-A list of hotels with rates was published in the April JOURNAL. Reservations should be made as early as possible. Persons wishing rooms either in hotels or private homes, who have not already done so, should write at once indicating as definitely as possible the kind of accommodations wanted and the amount they desire to pay. Requests should be addressed to Charles F. Pye, 407 Youngerman Block, Des Moines, Iowa. A large map of the United States showing affiliations and 100 per cent schools has been prepared at Headquarters and will be on exhibit at Des Moines. Many schools and associations are making special effort at this time to be represented on this map and in the official list of charter-affiliated associations which will be published in the Official Program. An appeal for our public schools, the leading editorial on page 94, was given to the press early in April with a statement calling attention to the importance of emphasizing education at this time when hundreds of thousands of teachers are being employed and their salaries fixed. Schools, Scranton, Pennsylvania; Sam Slawson, Superintendent of Schools, Bridgeport, Connecticut; Mrs. Mary D. Bradford, Superintendent of Schools, Kenosha, Wisconsin. President Hunter authorizes this committee to speak for the National Education Association on whatever questions may arise concerning standards of physical measurements of children and to render other assistance to the Children's Bureau in its efforts to harmonize its plans with the conditions and policies of the public schools. The birthday of Horace Mann is especially significant to teachers and school children. The one hundred and twenty-fifth anniversary of the birth of this great educational statesman will be celebrated in all parts of the country on May 4. School officers may well make this day an occasion for emphasizing the primary importance of education to locality, State, and Nation. The American Medical Association and the National Education Association are coöperating in an effort to secure legislation in the States to regulate the chartering of educational institutions. Effort will also be made to obtain the passage of a bill by Congress regulating the chartering and control of educational institutions in the District of Columbia, which is now open to all kinds of fake institutions. Hugh S. Magill, field secretary of the National Education Association, is directing the preparation of the bill. A month of free military instruction open to men under thirty-five years of age, to begin not earlier than July 15 nor later than August 10, has been announced by the Adjutant-General's Field Secretary Hugh S. Magill Office of the War Department. There by special invitation on vote addressed both branches of the Iowa legislature on March 30. Reports from Des Moines indicate that the legislators were enthusiastic over his earnest plea for our public schools. Physical Examination of ChildrenIn response to the request of Julia Lathrop of the Children's Bureau for the National Education Association to appoint a committee of superintendents with whom the Children's Bureau may advise in the formulation of standards for the physical examination of children, President Hunter has appointed the following: S.

Printing is an art in which the raw materials are wordswords of all languages-requiring in its finished product a utilization of the principles of nearly all academic studies. Included in these studies are reading, grammar, spelling, punctuation, word division and capitalization. As a Vocational HE Printing industry needs men. - competent and well-trained workers in all branches of the industry. Employers and employees are fully alive to the seriousness of the shortage of workmen in the printing and allied industries and probably would welcome a suggestion that they co-operate in apprentice education. Many schools are now furnishing education in printing. For information regarding these schools and suggestions regarding co-operation between educators and the printing industry, write to FRANK K. PHILLIPS, Manager Ameri THE THREE PHASES OF GEOGRAPHY MAKING In striving for excellence in geography texts, three separate and distinct phases, the scientific, the pedagogical, and the mechanical, must be kept constantly in mind. The test, from the standpoint of science, is the accuracy of the data and the appropriateness of the scientific material used. The test, from the standpoint of pedagogy, is the conformity of the plan of approach, the language employed and the organization of the material to the child's mental processes. The test, from the standpoint of mechanics, is in the legibility and pleasing effect of the printed page, the informational and aesthetic value of maps and illustrations, and the durability of binding. Following are a few of the reasons why the new MCMURRY AND PARKINS GEOGRAPHIES meet every test imposed from any and all of the three viewpoints. |
