CUUNlt SUPERINTENDENT MEL |
The second days session OF the New
Mexico Educational association con-
vened al $3.50 o'clock this morning at
the high school building, with a large
attendance. A business session oc-
cupied the first half hour AT this
time It was practically decided to hold
the election of officers at the business
session tomorrow morning at $3.50
| O'Clock. A nominating committee was
| selected and it is reported will select
an entire new set of officials. This
| change has no reflection on the ability
of those who have so capably guided
| the destinies of the association during
the past year. but rather is a custom
| followed by the organization. Several
amendments to the constitution and
| bylaws We're proposed on which ac-
| ton will be taken tomorrow. Among
| these was The suggestion of electjhg
the executive committee to office an
nually rather than making the tenure
of three years duration. OF this COM
mittee Z. j. Verts is the only one
whose term of office expires this year
4 G. M. Light remains until 1906 and j.
A. Wood until 1907. 1t was proposed
that in addition to the recording Sec
retary the list of officers be increased
by one in order to provide for local
secretary. His duties will be to make
all arrangements for meetings of the
association aud will be selected from
the place at which the future meet
ing of the organization Is to be held.
The proposition of amending the con-
q. ..F
executive committee will serve as its
chairman, will also be considered to-
morrow.
At 10 o'clock several papers were
read. the first being by X. II. Grant,
on Education in California" Mr..
Grant said in enect that the salaries
to school teachers in California are
higher than elsewhere, this being es-
pecially true in science departments. s.
He said there was uniformity of
books in California schools and that
text books are made by the state. The
! pupils iH the primary grades are ali
of the same age and same nature
Pupils in the higher grades are much
older than those in similar grades IN
other states. The advanced age Is
caused by the higher requirements
) The education in the higher schools
is the same all over the state

powers.
