Hail Success Of
55th Annual
Convention

The 55th annual convention of
the MTA, March 1918, attracted,
according to Jordan, more than
5000 teachers. At the invitation
of the Associations president, o.
E. Jordan, they came with the
spirit of the sixties. Mr.. Jordan
said they came thinking not of
what they could get from the AS
sociation, but what they could
contribute to it. Although College
Park Auditorium was designated
as headquarters for the conven-
ton, the facilities of all neighbor-
ing institutions were needed and
used.
The constant flow of delegates
in and out during general sessions
was totally absent. The presi-
dents address at the first, panel
discussions at the second and third,
and an address by DR.. J. L. Brown
at the fourth, held the attention
of the delegates.
Every phase of the educational
program was thoroughly covered
in discussion groups and depart
mental meetings. These groups
and meetings were conducted by
men and women who had demon
strated proficiency in their re-
spective fields.
The Delegate Assembly thai
governs the Association was a
serious body. A veteran teacher
said the assembly must be serious
because it was concerned with the
welfare of more than 700 teach
ers and responsible to approx
mately 100000 children.
The second and final session Of
the Delegate Assembly on Satur-
day, March 18, was more serious
than the first. The delegates were
happy because the mortgage had
been burned on the Headquarters
Building and optimistic about the
| future. 1t was vitality concerned
with how to best serve the teach
ers of Mississippi. A committee
was appointed to solved this prob
| lem.
The most severe critics of the
MTA agreed that the 55th Annual
Convention was an exception in

the boards action, said it would
be received and processed as any
other.

policy.
