play is to be something along the lines
similar to the one given last year. The
date upon which the entertainment will
be rendered will be during the latter

Owing to the recent illness of Mrs.
Mellencamp. Supt. Mellencamp states
that he will be unable this year to at
tend, the annual convention of the Ma
tional Educational Association. Last
year the association convened at Wash

biggest events which took place in the
city during the year. This year it will
be held in the Art Museum building at
Chicago, and promises to be equally as
interesting as that of 1908. The state
Superintendent of Public Instruction, of
Illinois, has recommended that every
educator be present, and it is expected
that Michigan will be as well represent
ed as it was last year. The dates up
on which the convention will fall are
February "a, rs and 26.
