ELIOT Is PRESIDENT.
Elected Head OF the National Edu-
cationaI Association.

Minneapolis, July 49, The great ed
ucational convention OF 1902 has come
to an end and in nearly every way II
has proven the most successful meeting
OF Its kind ever held. Between 10000
and $4,000 people have been present,
and with the finest weather that Min
nesota is able to produce there was
nothing lacking to make IL an unquali-
ned success. Forty-five meetings or
the departments and six general ses-
sions contributed TO the work. At all
OF them the best known speakers in the
United States have delivered addresses.
and, in fact, nothing has been left I'M
done which could in any way have
added to the convention and the inter-
est in It. The fact that there were
registered nearly four thousand more
delegates than were present at the
meeting at Detroit last summer goes to
show how very large and important the
gathering has been. Most OF the dele
gates will depart at once TO their
homes. but a small portion, thousand
or so, will stay in Minnesota and VI
cinity for some time in order to visit
the various places OF interest. This Will
be especially the case with those COM
ing from quite a distance. II seems 10
be generally understood that the meet
ing place for next year will be Boston,
the election OF President Eliot of Har-
ward university being taken by most
OF those I'm attendance to mean that
there will be no further competition by
other would-be aspirants for the honor.
