Question of Dissolution to be
Decided Saturday Morning

There has been much discussion
upon the matter up to the present
time. and it was believed that the
disarmament of the southern associa-
ton last year might lead 10 a similar
movement on the part of the North
ern association. However, w A.
Denny, superintendent OF schools OF
Anderson. Ind, vice president of the
general association and chairman of
the executive committee, declared
Thursday that upon the attendance at
the present convention depended the
existence of the y. /. T. A He said
late Thursday evening that the total
registration so far was above the
1900 mark which made the outlook
bright for the continuance Of the as
ISOLATION.
Mr.. Denny explained that the state
association had in a measure super
ceded the work OF the Northern as
ISOLATION. If the Northern associa-
ton were TO be disbanded. the terri
tory which this association covers
would either be divided into congress
sionai districts or the border states
would assume the obligations of the

More concentrated work along the
specific lines in which the individual
districts were working might be &C
complished," Mr.. Denny continued,

smaller associations would be unable
to secure as prominent speakers as
the larger and weather. associations
