Catholic Education
Association at San
Francisco Next Year
Meeting Will Give Western Delegates
an Opportunity Next Year to Attend
Message Received From Holy
Father.

lie Educational Association held it's
regular meeting at the close of the
Convention on Thursday afternoon,
June 28th. BY unanimous vote it was
decided to hold the Fifteenth Annual
Meeting of the Association in the
month of July in San Francisco, Cal.
A number of invitations were consid-
cred but as Archbishop Hanna had ex-
tended the invitation two years in sue
cession, and, as many members on the
Pacific coast had been unable to at
tend any of the previous meetings of
the Association on account of distance
it was deemed most appropriate to
hold the next meeting in the far West
One of the most successful meetings of
the Association was that held in New
Orleans in 1913, and it is the belief of
all that not only will the next meeting
bring the strength of the Pacific coast
to the Association, but it will also be
a most valuable and important meet
| ing. There is no doubt of it's success.
The Executive Board also directed
that a committee of nine should be
chosen who would be requested to
study the problem of the curriculum in
it's general aspects. The appointment
of this committee will be deferred un
til the fall
The Association sent a cablegram to
the Holy Father at the opening of the
Convention and received a most cor.
dial message from Cardinal Gasparri
conveying the greetings of the Holy
Father and imparting his Apostolic
Benediction.
