executive council Of Is members in
place Of the present executive commit
tee of five. The original draft named
the number as II, but was later amend
ed to add two more representatives
from the group of elementary teachers.
The new executive council will be COM
posed Of the president, two vice presi-
dents, the secretary-treasurer, the re-
firing president, the state superintendent
Of public instruction, and delegates from
the five major departments Of the asso-
citation, as follows: One from the high
school, one from the college and uni
versity, one from the county superin-
tendents, three from the elementary
teachers and one from the supe .intcnd-
ents and supervising principals.
Superintendent 8. r. Logan Of Har-
din endeavored to add q new depart
ment to the executive council, the
country life" section. He was not
wholly successful, but as result the
representation from the elementary
teachers was increased from one to
three with the understanding that at
least one Of the number would be
representative of the rural teachers.

The idea evidently was not favored b.
the proponents of the new constitution
but they accepted it rather than to lose
out on the constitution entirely, anG
after the constitution had been FINAL,
adopted, a motion carried for the pres
ident to appoint committee OF 10 to
propose amendments to the constitution
at the convention year hence, thle
probably being a step toward ellmlnat'

membership at that time.
One member sarcastically referred te

against the adoption of the new con-
stitution in It's entirety on the grounc
that it was putting the control of the

Tell us Earth's secrets II you car.
Who hid you from volcanic fires.
When the red hot lava ram?
Tell Of the birth Of snow and rain

Were you there when all the world

Tell us thy story, I tho Sage Brush

Speak of the early struggles you
have seen.
You saw the coming of the pioneers,
You heard their laughter, and you
saw their tears,
Saw the maiden's blush and heard
the mothers cry,
AS in the shallow grave she left her
child to lie.
Tell us the secrets of both friend and

AS DER the prairie land you've seer
