Bitter factional feeling in the In
diana State Teachers Association
accepted the olive branch of peace
today with the election of Milo H.

nical high school, as president of
the association in a business session
at Cadle tabernacle.

president.

mittee was accepted by the conven-
ton floor without a dissenting vote
and election of the two school,
masters was unanimous.
The ease with which the nominate
ing committees report was accepted
was in direct contrast to the election
of Matte B. Fry of Anderson on the
floor of the convention at the 1929
meeting.

in the teachers ranks with the re-
sultant upset of the nominating
committees report as in 1929, the
committee refused to divulge the

TONS factions.
