A part of the resolutions of the as

ness meeting follows:
"The National Educational association
reaffirms it's unalterable opposition to
any division of the public school funds
among private or sectarian schools and
believes appropriations from the fed
eral or state treasures in support of
private educational institutions are in
direct contravention of the fundamen-
tai principles upon which our system
of American public school education
has been founded and has prospered" !"

hold the next convention in San Fran
cisco in 1911. The claims of San Fran
