Report Adopted.
The report of the nominating committee
was adopted and the entire ticket de
/ clared unanimously elected by the Ma
/ tionaI Education association this after
noon.
! The new charter of the National Edu-
| cational association. proposed at the As
/ bury Park meeting in 1903 and authorized
/ by special act of congress in 1906, was
accepted by the convention today by
unanimous vote. Miss Shirley. a Los An
I
| of the charter and denounced the prOvi-
sion relating to control of the finances,
but she was completely out-voted.
Program Carried Out.
There was no opposition with a single
! exception, to the program outlined il
/ these dispatches last Monday.
/ The exception, however, proved to bt
/ of large interest. Miss Elizabeth Shir-
/ ley. a teacher in the Los Angeles higf
schools, and formerly of Omaha. Neb.
made a spirited speech before the couven-
/ ton in opposition to the proposed chart
| er which she claimed placed all of The
/ funds of the association in the hands OF
| the board of trustees and paved the way
| for d possible misuse Of them. Miss Shir
/ ley's language was bitter in reference
! to some of the leaders Of the association
whom she did not name. and whom she
charged incidentally with collusion will
( the schoolbook trust. She referred to 'Ont
man. elected yesterday to high position
/ in the association whom she said haC
/ been placed there by the book cOmpa
/ MES with a sinister object Miss Shir
Fiey. however. was completely outVOted il
1 the convention. Tonight her charges art
/ the talk of the association members anC
/ il is not unlikely that some development
! of a more or less interesting nature may
ensue.
/ Tomorrow the board of directors vii
I consider the selection of the next cOnVen
I ton city According to the custom of tn,
/ association the board of directors viii
| likely make favorable mention of the city
/ to which the convention may be taken il
( 1905, and leave the actual naming of tn
| city TO the executive committee. Cleve
/ land is the only city mentioned and If an!
action whatever is taken, that city wi!
be named.
To Choose New Director.
/ At the meeting of the new board of di
| rectors tomorrow member of the boar,
/ of trustees will be elected to succeed Il
I B. Brown president of Valparaiso college
/ Valparaiso, Ind. Mr.. Brown was chosel
| trustee only three days ago by the oil
board of directors to fill out the unex
pired term of A. g. Lane of Chicago, de
! ceased.
| IT was understood al that time that Mi
Brown would be chosen for a full tern
! when the new board meets tomorrow, bu
opposition to him has developed.
| That nearly all of the 5000 members o
the association who are in the city wer
| associate members instead of active. wa
shown in the first business session to
day. which was for active members only
| and which was attended by less than SO
! persons. An attempt was made today b,
