The Coming Educational Convention
By Frederick Griggs
WE are as yet unable to announce the time and place of this convention, but it probably will be held in the month of June, at some place in the central portion of the United States. We hope shortly to be able to announce the exact time and place, and a little later to give the program of work. This convention should mark a time of advance in our work. Many questions of importance are to be considered, and upon their proper solution we may hope for much help in all our schools. It should be the duty of the various committees to prepare reports to be submitted to the convention. Every member of these committees should feel the importance of doing his work earnestly and well, that we may have good reports for the consideration of the convention. There are no arrangements as to delegates to the convention. It would certainly seem that the board of managers of our training-schools in this country should see to it that one or more representatives are present from each school. We also hope to have the presence of some of our educational workers from other countries. All the educational secretaries of our union conferences and the State superintendents of our State conferences should be present at this meeting. Thus all phases of our school work will be represented. In addition to this, we hope that there may be present a large number of our teachers from all grades of our schools, even though they hold no official position. We also hope to have many of our conference workers with us; so let all who can possibly arrange to attend the convention begin now to plan to this end. We look forward to a feast of good things for our educational workers.
