unanimously was one urging all
citizens to approach the matter
of Indignation in the public schools
with the spirit of fair play, good
will and respect for law which has
always been an outstanding char
acteristic of the American people"
The statement said that it was
the associations conviction that
"all problems of indignation in our
schools are capable of solution at
the state and local level by citizens
of intelligence, saneness and rea-
sonableness working together in
the interests of national unity for
the common good of all"
New Workers Urge Study
The proposal for the study of
Indignation problems was advanced
by the 150-member New York
State delegation. 1t could be
brought up again and taken to
convention vote if sufficient dele
gates were on hand to constitute
a quorum.
Immediately after this after
moons meeting was adjourned, DR..
William G. Carr, executive secre-
tary of the association, which
claims to have $4,000 members,
told newsmen here:
This is not a picture of an or
ganization that broke up in a riot
1t is a picture of an organization
that stayed together until nearly
the very last minute, when a par
liamentary hassle on an important
question arose"
The proposal for the study was
made by Walter Ludwig, social
studies teacher at Mamaroneck
Senior High School, Mamaroneck,
n. Y.
Mr.. Ludwig, who is member
of the associations resolutions
committee, asked the Representa-
tive Assembly to recommend "the
appointment of a research COM
mittee to study problems of inte-
grafton in our schools at local,
state and Federal levels, and that
this committee present a report
with recommendation to the Rep
resentative Assembly in 1859"
No Limits Suggested
Mr.. Ludwig said that "this
would be no limited regional or
sectional study-it would examine
the progress made with Indignation
of all groups in our public schools"
He remarked that New York State
would and should fall within the
associations survey"
The proposal touched off lively
discussion. A Michigan delegate
said that he had favored Judging
all people by their deeds and not
by the color of their skim" but OPP
posed the measure because he
thought it would weaken the asso-
citation in the South.
AS the tempo of debate quick
ened, Wallace VIM of Savannah
introduced his unsuccessful motion
to adjourn the meeting.
Mr.. VIM then argued before
DR.. Lyman Ginger, the NEA pres
ident who presided, that the as
sembly could not take official ac-
ton on the proposal unless a quo
rum were present.
DR.. Ginger, who is from Lex
ington, KY, then called upon the
state chairmen to check their del !
egations. While this was going on,
many Southern delegates were seen
leaving the convention hall. The
tally disclosed that 1876 delegates
were present, with 2,343 needed for
a quorum. Mr.. Ginger then ad-
journed the meeting.
Miss Ruth Stout of Topeka, Kan,
was elected president of the asso-
citation today. w. w. Eshelman
of Upper Dublin, Pa, was elected
vice president and president-elect.
According to association of
ficials, some 1900 persons have
attended the six-day meeting, of
