The Principals' Meeting

By Frederick Griggs

In accordance with the action of the recent General Conference Committee Council held at Washington, the meeting of the principals of our advanced and intermediate schools, and of the educational secretaries of our union conferences, will be held at Cleveland, Ohio, July 3-9. The principals' meeting will be preceded by the meeting of the National Educational Association held at the same place, June 29 to July 3. It is anticipated that nearly all who attend the principals' meeting will attend this meeting of the association, as it will suggest many valuable ideas.

We believe that this coming meeting will be one of the most important which our educators have ever held. Our young people all over the world are arousing to the great work which is being given them to do. As a consequence, we must make great advancement in our intermediate and advanced school work, as these schools have the most important work to do in preparing these young men and women for service. The lines of advance before our schools are many, and it is for the consideration of these important subjects that this meeting is called. The one great question, How can we better train our young men and women most quickly for service? is in itself of the utmost importance. This meeting is called to help us answer this question. We trust that the boards of management of all our advanced and intermediate schools will see to it that the principals of these schools are in attendance, and that our union conference committees will arrange also for the educational secretaries to be present. We look for most substantial benefits to our school work as the result of this meeting.
