Los Angeles, July 10.-A new and
somewhat unexpected feature was in
jected into the convention of the Ma
tlonal Educational association today,
when 1t was announced that six of the
largest woman's organizations in the
world will ask for the creation Of
department in the National Educa-
tional association, unifylng the work
of those institutions. The organiza-
tions that will ask to be allowed to
affiliate with the National Educa-
tional association are:
General Federation of Womens
clubs. Women's Christian Temperance
union, Daughters of the American
Revolution, the National Congress of
Mothers, the National Council of Jew
ish Women, the Association of Collegi-
ate Alumnae and the Southern Asso-
citation of College Women
Their petition, which will be pre-
sented to the board of directors of the
National Education association by DR..
e. o. Lyte, of Pennsylvania, a mem
Der of that board, is as follows:
eve petition the National Educa-
tional association to provide de-
partment to be known as the educa-
tional department of national organi-
cations of women, in order that in
meeting each year with their profess
sional body the national societies of
women may cooperate more success
fully with each other and with the
educators OF the country in bringing
the home and the school in more
helpful relations"
In all probability the petition will
be acted favorably upon by the board
as several members are comnritted to
1t. 1t Is considered one of the most
significant moves of the convention,
and of far-reaching Importance, iuas-
much as Il cements all of these organ

Miss Elizabeth Shirley, teacher in
the Los Angeles schools and formerly

speech before the convention In oppo-

whom she charged incidentally with
collusion with the school book trust.

i pletely outvoted In the convention.
