N TlTH the general session of the
w NATIONAL Educational associa-
tiopTat Temple auditorium last
night the biggest day of the Los An
geles convention came to a close. For
two houFs and half the biggest au-
olence 1.-THE week sat as If spellbound
under theI eloquent addresses of the
TOUR Speakers of the evening, for it was
no ordinarily or commonplace discussion
before that vast body. The all engross-
Ing question of teachers salaries, or,
rather, oqne system of adequate COM
Densation for these faithful workers,
was the subject before the house, and
with convincing eloquence the various
speakers outlined their plans or reme-
dies. e. f1. Cooley president-elect for
the coming year, known throughout
educationail fields as the relentless OPP
ponent Of Margaret Haley and her Chi
cago federation of teachers, was one of
the speakelrs on the program.
The day has meant much to the Ma
tional Educational association. The
opposition (which had been expected
against thel adoption of the new char
ter granted by congress failed to ma
terialize, but instead, from an unex-
peCleQ QudrVer OIL the SKY came an I'M
passioned appeal to the teachers Of the
nation to preserve their liberty from
the power Of "oligarchy."
The election of Mr.. Cooley to the
presidency, devoid Of excitement
though it was still added to the gen.
eral spirit OF the day.
A glorious time by the side OF old
ocean occupied the afternoon. Thou
sands of teachers awaited themselves
of the special rates made by the rail-
way company and had their first sight
of the mighty Pacific ocean. Because
the citizens Of Long Beach had pre-
pared for the reception of the peda-
gogues from IL o'clock on, there were
no sub-department meetings yesterday
afternoon. Eight meetings were held
in the morning at various halls of the
city.
Today there will be fourteen such
meetings held during the morning and
afternoon, with a general session at
the auditorium at o'clock. Tomorrow
( the department meetings will be con-
fined to the morning, and the conven-
ton will close in a blaze of glory Fri
day afternoon. This will end the ses-
sions of the convention, but the enter
tainment committee has arranged at
fractions extending over almost an
other full week.
