The committee discussed several inn

Il was decided to hold the meeting on
Wednesday. Thursday and Friday,
October 10, 20 and 81, unless it is

1T is the hope of the committee to Sc

of adjoining states with this in view.

lecturer such as Colonel Roosevelt, 1t is
planned to secure an educational ex-

enrolment was considered carefully,
and 1t was decided that the matter of
enrolment in the IN. D. Il. A., will be
presented to the several sectional edu-
cational meetings to be held during this
month. Members of this executive
committee will emphasize the mutual
advantages of the membership and
trust that a large advance enrolment
may be secured. The secretary, Mr..
Travis, was instructed to present thi.
matter OF membership to the faculties
Of the several state and private educa-
tional institutions,
Urges Fewer Departments.
The committed voted unanimously to
recommend to the association that no
more departments be organized, and
that steps be taken looking toward q
consolidation of some of the depart
ments now organized. This resolution
was passed because 1t seems that this
multiplication of departments tends 20
weaken the work Of the associations.
The value OF the educational associa.-
tional meetings has been lessened In
the past by the fact that 1t has been
unpOSSlDt9 10 get the programmes out
