quarters that between ten and twelve
thousand teachers and their friends
Will be in Los Angeles this afternoon
When the opening session is held. Thou
sands more will arrive later in the
day.
The executive committee of the N. r.
A. is very desirous that Los Angeles
people interested in educational work
n nr-fVr
conventions, even if they are not mem
bers of the association.
Accordingly the balconies of the big
Auditorium building will be thrown
open to the general public this after
noon and evening, the downstairs sec
ton alone being reserved for active
and associate members of the associa-
ton.
This plan OF admitting the general
public will be tried today, and if it is |
found successful, will be continued
throughout the convention sessions.

vention sessions. Before each session

teen minutes OF gan recital. This after

Florida Educator Here
Among the arrivals at the Alexan-
iria is w. H. Holloway, state superin-
endent of public instruction of Florida.
Mr.. Holloway is the first of a dozen
educators who will come from his state
o the convention. AS regards educa-
ion and the public school system in ;
Florida, Mr.. Holloway is splendidly op-
imistic. He said:
We have fine school system and
is efficiency is constantly increasing.
rhe legislature which ended its de- I
lberations in June appropriated 81 1.000.-
90 outright, which is twice as much
s they have ever appropriated before.
Yes, we had to do some hustling to
ret it, but new that we have that
money in addition to our regular in
ome from taxes, we will be able to do
great deal more.
'The question of educating the ne
,roes is. of course, difficult one. The
