wards gladly to men who know and
men who do" 1t is we'll for us to
bear his thought in mind in our work
in the schools Of North Dakota. Eff
f1ciency is the thing that counts. Our
association has grown In the twenty
seven years Of its existence to be a
power for good in the upbuilding OF
the educational system Of our state.
There remains much to be done, and
what there is to be done can be ac-
complished only by each one of us
realizing the responsibilities that rest
on him and putting forth the best eff
forts possible for building up. The
people are demanding that those &C
lively engaged in the field Of educa-
ton, get results. There was a time
when the work of this association
seemed to be restricted to a discussion
Of the things that pertained strictly
to the work of teaching. The fact that
the public schools constituted, as they
still constitute, the greatest force for
the upbuilding of our state was not
so clearly understood as at present.
"The meetings Of our association are
held for the purpose of making more
efficient the school system. We come

er the problems hat confront not only
the teacher but also the citizens who
support the schools and for whom the
schools exist.
1--WE now realize that the entire peo-
pie of the state have one common in
terest and that is the making use of
the things that are within our reach
to give every boy n girl the oppor-
tunity Of becoming a better and a
more useful citizen. ,
Our state needs many more people
and each succeeding generation must
be able to contend with the problems
of life more intelligently than the one
Immediately preceding. There never
has been in the history of the world
when there was a greater demand for
an intelligent, upright citizenship.
The problems that confront the world
require greater skill and more intelIi-
gent consideration than aver before
The public schools must do their part
in preparing the coming men and
women for their future duties.
I'm our deliberations it is to be
hoped that moderation will prevail Sc
that when we return to Our regular
, duties we shall be able to look back
to the meeting in 1913 as one from
which the entire state has received
great benefit. We must not stop and
consider that we have accomplished
all. There will be things to do when
we have ceased to labor.
IT will close with a quotation from
an address of President Wilson. He
says:
""The men l am sorry for are the
men who stop to think they have &C.
complished something before they
stop at the grave itself. You have go
to have your second wind in the worlt
and keep it up till the last minute"
