Prominent Speakers, an Important
Program for Session to Be
Held in Portland.

The session of the Oregon Teachers
Association which is to be held in
Portland December 27, 28 and 20, will
be the most important educational
meeting ever held in the state, accord
ing to statement issued by E. F.
Carleton, president of the association.
The Eastern and Western divisions
have Joined in one association, bring
ing the entire state into one conven-
tion. A new constitution has been
adopted, which eliminates the old plan
of holding county institutes in connec-
tion with the association. Equal rep
resentation has been provided, so that
the convention cannot be controlled by
any one section. Every county in the
state is sending delegates in propor-
tion to the number of teachers, and
each local teachers organization is
entitled to delegate provided that it
has more than fifteen members, and
not less that three meetings each year.
These duly elected representatives
after their qualifications have been
mittee will be ent;tled - s;t ~ tha
