The Convention at College View

By F. G.

A QUORUM meeting of as many members of the Department of Education as could reasonably be gotten together, was recently held in Washington, D. C. The purpose of this meeting was to arrange for the program for the educational convention to be held at College View, Neb., June 29 to July 10. It was thought best to publish the program in the REVIEW rather than to get it out in some other form. This would enable all who are interested in the convention to have the opportunity of knowing something of the plans for its work.

It will be observed that a very considerable portion of time is given to the reports of committees, and not so much to addresses and papers, as at our last convention. It is the purpose to make this a working convention, and to formulate some very definite plans and suggestions for all grades of our schools. Committees were appointed at a meeting of the department held at the close of the General Conference at Washington one year ago, to prepare reports to be submitted to this convention. These committees have been working as far as possible during the year, and we hope for valuable reports from all of them. It is in the study and discussion of these reports that we need the attendance and earnest work of all those interested in educational matters. These reports should constitute the most important and valuable portion of the entire work of the convention. In saying this, however, we would not minimize the great value of the addresses which may be given.

The preceding program will be adhered to as closely as consistent with the best interests of the convention. F. G.
