The United States Bureau of Educa

ican people in matters educational
It's work has been conducted on 4
high plane, and it is everywhere rec
ognized as disinterested and sane in
its leadership. Other organizations
are glad to be associated with it and
to support its program for the ex-
tension and improvement of public
education.
Working Since 1857.
Since 1857 the n. L. A. has been a
unifying and stimulating force in
the development of American educa-
ton. In the early days: its service
was prima rily that of discussion and
the promotion of mutual acquaintance
among educational workers who then
were doing pioneer duty on the edu-
cational frontier. It's early meetings
were attended by only a few hundred
persons each year. but they laid
foundations of great significance.
Originally the organization was
known as the National Teachers AS
sociation. In 1870 there were ANAL
gamated with the American Normal
School Association and the National
Association of School Superintendents
under the new name of the National
Educational Association. This was the
beginning of a development, which
has given the association more than
score of departments, representing
every phase of educational activity
and bringing together in one asso-
citation a wider variety of interests
than usually are found in similar
organizations in other countries
The greatest advances in the as
sociation's development, however, oc-
Cured since it's headquarters were
moved to Washington in 1917. This
was followed by a sharp increase in
the associations membership. from
1000 active members in 1917, to 140,-
191 in 1923. While the association has
now enrolled large proportion of
the better trained and more highly
paid teachers, it is expected that the
mem berShip will exceed 10000 dur
ing this calendar year.

With the vivid mental picture OF
the gigantic Shrine conclave still
family lingering. Washington again
is preparing to welcome an enormous
multitude of visitors, who. in num-
ber, will rank second only to the
thousands Of mobiles who stormed
the Nations Capital last June for
their annual pilgrimage to Mecca.
AS the current scholastic year
passes into history next month. be-
tween 10000 and 10000 of America $
leading educators and school teachers
will be vending their way to Wash
ington for the sixty-second annual
meeting of the National Education
Association. From every city, town
and hamlet in the United States and
Hawaii these teachers will come,
bringing with them the educational
problems peculiar to their respective
communities. With them on their
homeward journey will go an en-
riched knowledge of the National
Capital. and a better understanding
of the fundamental principles or the
American government, gained through
personal contact with the nation s
leaders and first-hand inspection of
the patriotic and historic shrines,
numerous in the city and its contig-
uouS country.
Record Convention Expected.
The convention, which opens June
% and continues to July 4. gives
every indication of being the most
pretentious in the history of the as
sociation. The organization has not
met in Washington since 1898, wher
it's membership was but mere
handful of educators and teachers in
comparison with its strength OF
100000 today.
The coming to Washington of these
thousands of teachers inevitably will
result in improved educational con-
Gitions here, in the opinion of Off
cials of the association. With {
plank in it's platform favoring q
model school system for the District
heads of the national organization
point out that one of the first steps
taken by the visitors upon their ar
rival will be to inspect the public
schools. noting particularly the un-
desirable situation which has beer
complained of repeatedly by Supt
Frank w. Ballou. The mesSage thest
teachers take back to their com
munitieS, it was said, undoub ed ly
will be reflected in the personne
chosen for Congress by the voters in
their home districts.
Citizenship Is Emphasized.
The comprehensive program ar
ranged for the convention places
special emphasis on relationship of
citizenship to government and moral
education. These topics will be dis
cussed by a score or more prominent
educators and government officials
Consideration also will be given to
the SterlingReed education bill,

BED MADE OF CRYSTAL
FOR SHAH OF PERSIA
Surmounted by Chandelier-Auto-
matte Fountains Lulled En-
peror to Sleep.

From the New York World.
Ludwig III, the mad King of Ba-
varia," spent 100000 on one of his
beds, and had another constructed to
resemble d Gothic cathedral, with tall
windows and q famous painting of
the Madonna set in the head.
y Partisan bed of silver and wood
built for an Indian prince was orna-
mented at each corner by Il large fe-
male figure holding fan. The
weight of the princes body set mech
anism in motion which caused the fan
to oscillate, soothing the sleeper with
a seductive breeze.
But the most extraordinary of all
beds was the gift of Russian en-
peror to the Shah of Persia. Made
entirely of crystal and surmounted
by a chandelier. the monument of
discomfort bore automatic fountains
the splashing of which lulled to sleep
the uneasy head that wore the
crown.

uTIBETAN SHEEP FLEECE
LIKE BUFFALO ROBES
Animals Cannot Live Below 10000
Feet Above Sea Leve1-Wool
in Great Demand.
From the Detroit News.

From the Detroit News.
A wool market is held annually at
PatSeo, in the wildS of Tibet. The
Tibetan owners of sheep barter their
fiocks for Indian tea and rice and cot
ton goods. These sheep cannot live
below 10000 feet above sea level, and
as their wool is in great demand the
traders have to bring their commodi-
ties on pack ponies, mules and dom
keys right up into the heart of the
mountains.
About the middle of July the trad
ers, both parties, converge on to a
high valley some $4,000 feet above
sea level, and there pitch their re-
spectve camps. The Tibetan sheep
obligingly carry their own wool 10
the shearing ground, and emerge slim
and shorn from a mass of fleece,
which looks like buffalo robes.
These feeceS are rolled into as
small a compass as possible, after be-
ing wound into tight ropes, and are
baled on to the pack animals.

We Do Not Sing Enough.
he New York World

From the New ork WOrTu.
Americans do not sing enough. Our
cities are full of men with fine voices
often retaining from school days
some knowledge of reading music
who never sing. Immigrants come
bringing us the priceless gift of song
but soon become shame faced over
their accomplishment and cease 70
sing at the mortar-bed, the lathe or
the loom. Naturally initiative, they
think they are becoming Americans
the sooner by hushing song.
The Fairgrounds and recreations
association is leading in this work
Probably it's officers are wise in be-
ginning with the children. Our public
schools teach the rudiments of sing
ing sometimes more than that.
Grown-ups should be encouraged to
continue the service of song. Organ
ization may help many to do SO who
now are mute.

Lincoln's Religion.

Author Of ''Six Months at tho White House -
The conversation turned upon re-
ligious subjects, and Mr.. Lincoln made
this impressive remark: Il have never
united myself to any church. because
1 have found difficulty in giving my
assent, without mental reservation,
to the long, complicated statements
of Christian doctrine which charac-
terize their article of belief and con-
fession of faith. When any church
will inscribe over its altar, as it's
sole qualificat ton for membership, the
Saviors condensed statement of the
substance of both law and gospel,
"Thou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart and with all thy
soul and with all thy mind, and thy
neighbor as thyself." that church will
join with all my heart and with all
my soul"

From Fort Yu- kon the river flows in many branch ling channels through the Yukon flats Ito the site of old Fort Hamlin, whence, once more confined to a single deep gorge bordered by high
 rock bluffs, it follows it's devious course to the town of Panama, at the outh of the Tanana River: At this
 point the route leave the Yukon and Iascends it's largest tributary, the Ia mana, to Fairbanks, the center of
 the great Fairbanks gold-mining dis trict and the largest town of interior

 From Fairbanks the tourist takes
 the Alaska Railroad to Anchorage and
 Seward, the latter the southern ter
 minus of the Alaska Railroad where
 sail and rail connect. He may then
 take his steamer from Seward and
 so thru the Gulf of Alaska and on Ito Seattle via the outside passage. This gives the tourist the so-called loop" trip thru Alaska and affords the sight-seer the pleasure of see ling Alaska without ever going over
