PRIEST. MCINTYRE
DECISION DUE AT CONVENTION
BEGINNING TOMORROW.
A Resolution Is Expected Abolishing
the Office of Corresponding Secre-
tary and Assigning J. the Work
Otherwise-This Will Precipitate
the Contest.

Otherwise VIII Precipitate
the Contest.
Notwithstanding the internal dis
sessions Of the Minnesota Educational
association the annual meeting, open
ing tomorrow morning at Central
presbyterian church, st. Paul, will,
lack nothing in attendance, spirit or
interest. In the settlement of its
contentious some lively and interest
Ing discussions and vigorous action
are expected
From the sentiments expressed by
the vanguard Of association members
IN st. Paul to-day, it seems perfectly
plain that the association will stand
by President Mcintyre strongly, and
loyalty In the position he has taken
on association affairs and that has
brought him into conflict with Secre-
tary j. c. Bryant and the ST: Paul
local committee.
The troubles OF the association will
be thrashed out thoroly in the execu-
tive committee certainly and probably
on the floor of the convention. While
the rupture in the executive commit
tee is recent, the causes of dissatis-
faction with the management of the
office of the corresponding secretary
nave ypeen accommodating for long
time and there have been murmurs at
previous conventions.
/ Tomorrow a resolution will be in
treduced, probably by leading st.
Paul educator, who fathered it, pro-
viding that the office of corresponding
secretary shall be abolished and that
in it's stead a committee of three be
given the duties Of the office, one
member of the committee being elect-
ed each, year.. this committee being
also a finance committee to audit the
accounts of the association. All the
members would be members of the
general executive, committee.
This resolution will bring the matter
before the convention but it is not
probable that it will be pressed, for to-
morrow also a report. will be made
recommending the incorporation Of
the association and ! the articles that
have been drawn up provide for
corresponding secretary, as it is Gus
tOmary to have such an officer.
The probable outcome Of these two
proposals will be a partical reorgan-
ization Of the association and, while
the office Of corresponding secretary
will undoubtedly be retained, it will
be ShOrn Of many Of its powers and
responsibilities. The duties will Be re-
assigned and probably some plan will
be devised for making the executive
AS constituted, at present the CORE
spronding secretary. is apt to be the
only member who has served previous
ly on the committee, as all of the Off
GERS and section presidents are usually
changed every year.
=. The matter Of incorporation was
presented this. afternoon at an execu-
tive meeting by a committee. consist
ing of l.. P. Harrington, w. r. Hodges
and A. w. Rankin, who recommended
incorporation. =

- On account of the organization Of
q: new section for; the rural school
teachers and special efforts made to
interest them and to provide for Them
the attendance of rural school teach
ers is expected to be large. This will
inject a new and important element
into the association, and the special
be continued all thru the convention.
In the absorbing interest in the
matter Of reorganization and the dis
posal of the secretaryship fuss, new
officers have been given little thought.

nently for the presidency yet is E. T..
Carroll Of Wadena,. now treasurer.
