A net gain of over $3.50 members

ment of education, this report being
contained in the 1925 Journal Of
Proceedings Of the association which
has just been published.
This remarkable growth In mem

record: 1900 Maine Pedagogical

Is a gain of SGT over last year and
720 over the previous high record
membership Of 5917 in 1925" says
Mr.. Gordon who is now on his fifth
year as secretary of the organization.
This achievement for which we
have been working for the past FIVE
years Is one of which we may well
be proud"
1.-The year 1925 has proved a record
year for NJ. IT. A. in all respects.
According to the N. z. A. standards.
our present membership gives us
10S per cent. This will place us high
in the rank of state associations for
membership honors. 1t again proves
registration and reflects great credit
on the advance registration agents
who excellent and willing work has
made this record possible.
"The past year we had 1856 advance
registration agents. including 1873 of
| the 143 superintendent and state
agents, all the state normal and
training school principals, 81 agents
for private schools. and representa-

! including five normal and training
school principals, % agents for pri-
vate schools and los superintendent

1.-THE report of 100 per cent. mem
bership for our Association has
caused this question to be asked.
Is 100 per cent. membership possible
without first having enrolled every
J teacher in Milne a member OF M.
T. A ?" This question rather strange
~ may be answered Yes This IS
on account of the fact that our
