"GREATNEsS"
Greatness is not always measur-
ed by the station in life, or the
amount of wealth one possesses
One may be of humble origin. and
live in hovel, but if you are hon.
est, loyal, and truthful, believe in
the spiritual, and eternal things OF
God, then one is truly great. Abra-
ham Lincoln, lived in log cabin
and studied by the light of the
fire, but he had all the attributes
of greatness. He was determined
to win success, and he did so by
climbing steadily upward until he
reached the Presidents Chair. The
qualities that form greatness, ir
the human life, shine out like bril-.
liant stars in an inky sky and are
visible to all who meet the indi'
Vidual.

Mikelson Writes
OF Philad
MEA Meeting
BY Harry Mikels0n,
Superintendent Of Schools

There's been a big change il
the National Education Associa
ton since it was founded here
in Philadelphia a century ago.
More than $4,000 educators are
here this week at the Centennia
convention of the 100000 mem
Der NEA which is now the
worlds largest professional or
ganization.
Miles of exhibits twist ano
turn along endless corridors ir
the gigantic convention hall here
and scores and scores of section
al meetings are discussing every
educational topic imaginable. Big
names are here in abundance,
topped by Vice President Richard
Nixon.
But things are different from
the opening meeting in 1857, al
Philadelphia's old Athenaeum,
There, 10 school teachers came to-
lgether to found the first pro-
fessional organization of educa-
tors. Only two women were pres
ent, and they were not permitted
to speak on the convention floor
Ironically, with Miss Martha
Shull as the 1857 president, any
man wishing to speak at this
convention has to be recognized
by a woman!
Schools have also changed ire
mendously since the NEA was
founded. Teachers are seeing how
astounding the changes have been
Iby reading the new NEA history,
just published by Harper &
Bros. Edgar B. Wesley, the author
is here autographing copies for
teachers.
Wesley points out that in one
Pennsylvania county in 1857 only
80 to 276 schools had any toilet
facilities, only 10 had play
grounds, and only four had more
than one room.
This was the year that an edu-
Gator in Rhode Island lamented
"the intolerable filth, tobacco
spittle, and disorder that char
acterized some school rooms"
The present convention shows
some of these changes in a spe-
cial art exhibit that illustrates
the changing concepts of teaching
I'm the last century. The exhibit
is climaxed with a brilliant series
of paintings done in public schools
this past year. Among the many
historical events on the schedule
is a Television show depicting the
founding of the NEA.
Greeting the thousands of teach
ers at their Homecoming this
week, NEA President Martha
Shull and Exec. Secretary Vim.
Carr said, "The Centennial in
the life of any organization is
a noteworthy event. The central
theme of this great gathering of
teachers from every section of
our country and from many other
parts for the world is An Edu-
Gated People Moves Freedom
Forward"
This contention challenges
you, as a participant, with new
opportunities. May you exercise
these qualities which will guide
you to move freedom forward
through the education of all the
