land men We're almost invariably lined
UP against the West. Ohio was usually
with the East, and New York was often
with tho West; indeed, Sheldon of

often led the dissenters. Barnard

Rounds, Boyden, Hager and Marble Of
New England were never out Of the

The past sixteen years have seen all
this changed. There has not been a
discussion of note. Everything is run
filled to the brim and everything is done
quietly in committee. The annual
resolutions read well, but there is new
er word of discussion, and whether
they represent anyone's opinion, besides
the writer's, is never known. If any
one has anything educational, that he
wants exploited, he gets an appropria-
ton of $500, more or less; a committee
of ten. fifteen, twelve more or less; the
committee does more or less investiga-
ting, and the chairman, or some one of
the committee designated for the pur-
pose, writes n report, which with slight
notifications is courteously adopted.
There have been eight such reports on
secondary schools, elementary schools,
city boards of education, training
teachers. rural schools, college entrance

of the subjects thus treated or of the

In view of the fact that the meet
ings held in the large cities of Phila-
delphia, st. Louis and Chicago have
practically made three equal periods
in the history of the National Educa-
tional Association, and since the pres

and is at the end of a siXteen-year peri

mission. Here is a guess made by one
who has been familiar with the work
ings of the National Educational AS
ISOLATION: Women teachers will come
to have in fact, as in name, equal place
in the management and on the pro-
gram. Teachers salaries and the
relation of schools to taxation will be
fought to a finish. The problem of
pensioning teachers will be solved.
Some way will be found to give teach
ers large voice in all local school affairs.
