of how "America" came TO be written
is of interest to all who dwell under
the folds of Old Glory.
About the year 1891 Lowell Mason

well known composer of church music.
He devoted much time to training Sun
day school children to sing. using such
songs and hymns adapted to his pur-
pose as he could secure
He became acquainted with Samuel
Francis Smith then divinity student
at Andover Mr. Mason thought that
his young friend had the gift of writ

in his work. BY chance Mr. Mason
came into possession of n number of
German music books containing chit

Mr.. Smith. who fell in with the tune Of
MY Country, Tis Of Thee" lie no
ticed that the words in German were
patriotic and proceeded to compose the
hymn now known everywhere under
the name America"
Mr. Mason first brought out this
hymn at Fourth Of July celebration
in the Park Street church in Boston in
1892 What was done in Boston soon
found its way everywhere. and in time
the hymn became the national song.
Samuel Francis Smith was born In
Boston in 1906 and was graduated from
Harvard in the class of 20. of which
Oliver Wendell Holmes was also
member. At a reunion of the class
many years after DR. Holmes, who had
been the lifelong friend of the Rev S.
f. Smith, read poem entitled The
Boys in which he referred TO the poem
and its author in these words:

But he chanted song for the brave and

Rev. Dr. Smith was n member OF
the Baptist church, and his entire life
was given TO the ministry He died in
1895 at the age Of eighty-seven.

convention will be the forty first in the
history of the association. which is
the largest and most influential educa
tional organization in the world
The National Educational association
is mainly an outgrowth of common
school interests. but in its progress alt
classes of educational institutions have
been represented in its proceedings
and teachers from all ranks have been
gathered into its membership.
Many associations of teachers had
been formed in cities. counties and
states before the first steps for form
ing national organization We're taken
in 1857, In that year the National
Teachers association was formed at
Philadelphia. and in 1870 it was reor
ganized under its present name. at the
same time including as departments
the American Normal School associa
ton and the National Association OF
School Superintendents.
For many years the association strug
gled under many difficulties, but plant
ed the seed that was eventually TO
blossom into greater things.
Previous to 1884 the annual meetings
were but slimly attended. averaging
only about 200 members Since then.
however, there has been n great aWak.
ening to the value of the association
to education. and the attendance Up to
1895 was about 5000. since which time
it has grown to 10000 of the foremost
educators of the country. These con.
ventions have been a most important
agency in shaping national educational
aims and progress.
There are now eighteen departments
in the association. and their scope may
be realized when it is known that they
cover every important phase of edu,
