Cincinnati, Aug. SO.-A day OF
sectional meetings devoted largely to
reports Of committees and discussion
occupied delegates and visitors who
poured into Cincinnati today for the
forty-fourth annual convention of the
American Bar Association. Promi-

morrow before the general conven-
ton.
Elihu Root, former secretary Of
state, made two brief addresses to-
day in which he urged the bar to play
an important role in creating public
opinion and in educating young law
yers in the fundamentals of the law.
Modification of the principles OF
law is going on at greater speed and
in larger scope than ever BEFORE"
Mr.. Root told tOday's session of the
legal education section, of which he
is chairman. "The applicatin of law
is so widely different from that of
fifty years ago, that some guiding line
must be found"
The former secretary of state urg-
ed that the Bar Association exercise
strict supervision of lawyers of the
coming generation, so that the. legal
profession might have competent
r,en to administer the law. 60
Miss Annette Adams, of San Fran
cisco, was one of the speakers before
the criminal law section, urging
swift punishment of those charged
with crime.
