MADISON LADY ELECTED SECRE-
TARY OF THE STATE
ORGANIZATION.

Sioux Falls, May 8.-At the sug-
g~estion of several Of the high school
principals of the state an invitation
was extended by Prof. o. A. Bowden
to the principals Of the accredited
high schools to meet at Huron May
s.. In response to this invitation a
comparatively large number of prin-
cipals attended, among them being
Prof. w. /. Early, of the Sioux Falls
high school. The purpose Of the
meeting was to perfect an %Organiza-
ton for the purpose of studying
scientifically the problems of the
high schools of South Dakota.
A program had been previously
arranged which included problems
that were of interest to high school
administrators.
The program was conducted in the
form Of a round table without for
NAL papers. The greatest enthusiasm
and interest prevailed throughout
the discussions. In the minds OF
those present no educational meet
ings have been held which meant
more than this one to those in at
tendance. 1t dealt wholly with spe-

different subjects, etc, in order TO
determine what progress is made as
a result of educational effort
through supervised study and other
educational reforms.
Educational conclusions too often
have been stated without sufficient
evidence to support them. 1t is the
purpose of this organization, through
it's scientific study, to get evidence
that will enable educators to proper

ment. Members of the state depart
ment have stated that there We're no
educational organizations Of the state
that would be more helpful to them

lens than the high school principals

alton was perfected to carry out the
future work as follows.

tary of the association, Supt. j. Y.
