Program Is Enjoyed
Tonight closed the most successful
and best attended meeting of the as
sociation ever held Teachers and
other visitors were overwhelmed with
the manifold attractions and enter
tainment that had been provided. and
as Governor Lindsey put 1t last night
at the vocational banquet, Satan
couldn't run fast enough to catch up
with the program
1t is apparent that henceforth the
real work will be done more and
more in the sectional meetings, where
those who come for instruction and
intellectual work may find their
hearts desire. The general meetings.
while they will always have their
great orators and their enthusiastic
audiences that will crowd the largest
auditorium that New Mexico can pro-
vide. will not be the place for legis-
lative or constructive work.
Socialibility Is Feature
Many, perhaps most, of the teachers
come for the pleasure, for the socia-
bility. for the change of scene, the en-
tertainment. the sightseeing which
the convention program affords to
greater and greater extent each year
Santa Fe was especially fortunate this
year in providing something for
everybody and supplying it In abun-
dance. and In crowding its two largest
auditoriums, each holding 1900 peo-
pie, simultaneously.
History Section Organized.
A section of history and sociology
was organized this forenoon in St
Francis auditorium and applied for
