Mr.. Travis has sent out to all mem |
bers OF the N. ID. e. A tentative |
programme for the coming meeting in |
Minot. "A few errors are in this pro-
gramme and IL is by no means com
plete. 1t is hoped that the data for |
the complete programme will be ready |
for the publisher by Dec. 1, and that |
the completed programmes will be dis
tributed In good time for the meeting. |
The extreme practical aspect of this |
programme deserves comment. There
educators TO do all that can be done |
to right errors in education and the |
questions to be discussed at the COM
ing meeting are In keeping with this |
idea The department Of higher and |
professional education will devote two :,
sessions to the consideration Of the
subject, Extending School Into Life.
with the hope that the work Of these
state institutions may be best adapted
to the conditions in North Dakota. The
school IL not a preparation for life but
is part OF life and should be 80 con-
sidered. This meeting should be well
attended and those who cannot attend

receive volume of the proceedings |

one department. of this association |
which has not progressed as have me
others, is the opinion of the secretary,
and ne thinks that the directors sec
tton might be made OF much greater
value IL the school directors were to
attend the meetings. Last year the d.
rector who was responsible for the
making of a programme failed to per-
form his duty hence no programme
was provided and the section had no
separate programme. but met with the
county Guperintendents. MIR. Travis,
the secretary. win be glad &c answer
any inquiries concerning the coming
meeting that may be addressed to him

county superintendent Ind school su-
perintendents to lay the matter Of the
directors section before their respec-
tive boards and urge a good attend
ance. Mr.. Hollis. supervisor Of prac-
tice and vice president Of the normal
school at Valley city, Is president OF
the association and IL sparing no en-
deavor to make the meeting a success.
