The proposed amendments to the
constitution were voted down. One
provided that the meeting should be
held in October annually, and that the
meeting place should always be Wau-
sau. The other amendment had to
do with the duties of the executive
committee and was of minor import
ance.
An amendment to the constitution
of the Wisconsin State Teachers asso-
citation was also voted down. This
provided that confederation of the
six sectional teachers associations,
which are the Northeastern, the
Northwestern, the General, Ashland,
Southwestern and the Southern, be
formed, all to be subsidiary to the
state association, also all county
associations. This amendment pro.
vided that one-fourth of the fees paid
by members should go to the county
association, One-fourth to the sec
tional association, and one-half to the
state convention. 1t also provided
that central committee, consisting
of one member from each sectional
should constitute a pro-
gram committee and would have
Charge of the making out of all pro-
grams. Under this amendment the
state association would meet every
odd year and the sectional association
would meet every even year. The
objection was that the
amendment put too much power into
the hands of a few men and that it
took the meetings too far from the
teachers.
