Gators Tonight
Formulation of concrete pro-
gram of legislation in the inter-
.est of the schools Of New Mexico
and their teachers is expected to
be the outcome of the state con-
vention of the New Mexico Edu-
cational association, which will
begin its sessions here tonight
The educational council. which is
the directing body of the associa-
ton, is looked to for the initia-
tion OF action along this line.
Prominent members of the asso-
citation arriving here yesterday de-
clared that they felt that the
cause of education had been dealt
a severe blow by the recent cut
ting of salaries of county teach
ers. A remedy for this condition
may be sought through legislation.
On the eve of the convention in
dications were said to point to
the failure of the proposal to di-
vide the associations annual con-
vention into q number Of district
conventions. j. NJ. Buckley, super
intendent of the Clovis city
schools, who first proposed the
plan, sent word that he would be
unable to attend the convention.
The plan will be furthered, how
ever, by other Pecos valley repre-
sentatives. Educators said last
night that the preponderence of
opinion is against the division, for
the reason that the association
has important statewide projects
now under way which would be
: hampered by the change. They
said, too, that the association has
not reached the size that demands
a division in the cause OF etflcl-
ency.
