The largest convention of all. the
| annual meeting of the Kansas State
Teachers association, was the subject
of a special report which has been
/ made by C. G. Sickler, secretary of
| the Chamber of Commerce.
| Sickler makes several recommends
| tons as to the manner of caring for
! the teachers convention, which are
| the result of careful study of the
convention as held during the past
/ three years
The Chamber of Commerce staff.
for weeks in advance of the conven-
| ton, is occupied in listing rooms made
| available for the teachers by the hos
pitality of Topeka women. In fact,
! the securing of an adequate list of
rooms has been the main task con-
l nected with the meeting.
| In the past an effort has been made
/ to reserve rooms in advance, thru the
/ Chamber of Commerce office, with
| considerable attendant difficulty and
confusion. It has been found that
the teachers who reserve rooms in
advance. frequently make other ar
] engagements after they have arrived in
I Topeka, and wish to cancel the reser-
/ vations. No less embarrassing is the
case when some housewife finds OPP
pOrtunity to rent a room permanently,
before the convention opens. and can
( GELS the reservation with little or nc
notice.
For this reason Sickler has recon-
mended that there be no effort to
make reservations ahead of the con-
ventiOn, thru the Chamber of Com
Iperce. The staff has not hitherto
found any difficulty in placing all the
/ teachers in comfortable quarters, and
SickIer believes that the same method,
without the reservation feature, may
be used with greater satisfaction to
both the teachers and to Topeka
| women.
