UNITY VALUED BY CLASSROOM GROUP
Miss Daisy Lord Writes Article of Interest in
 IN. E. A. Journal

The analogy between the rela- tionship of the classroom teacher to his national organization and the relationship of doctors and lawyers to the associations which bind them together is pointed out ill an article by Miss Daisy Lord .n the current issue of the Journal" national publication of the N. E. A. Miss Lord is president of the class room department of the National Education Association.
 A national organization to the classroom teacher exemplifies a recognized profession, Miss Lord states. Excerpts from the article follow:
 "The classroom teacher realizes that while the National Education Association now speaks for 200,- 900 members it should speak for every one of the million teachers of America. If the million teach- CTS were members, there would be no greater force for the preserva- tion of democracy.
 Perhaps no group in the pro- fession has greater realization of the power of organization than the classroom group. This group looks upon the National Education As- sociation as our earliest settlers looked upon the central fort. Teachers feel it is the place to go when attacks come, that it is the organization which protects the
 "However, while the classroom teacher takes a great pride in his own department, he nevertheless sees the department as an integral part of the entire structure which to him Is the Gibraltar of his pro- fession--the National Education Association"
