The Educational Convention
By F. G.
It was announced in the REVIEW of April 19 that the educational convention would be held on the Pacific Coast on account of the opportunity afforded us by the holding of the National Educational Association's convention at San Francisco. The next week the great earthquake destroyed the city. This of course makes it impossible to hold the convention at that place. We immediately began correspondence with the officers of the National Educational Association, and have learned from them that their convention has been abandoned for this year. Accordingly it has been decided by the members of the General Conference Committee to whose attention this matter could be brought, to hold our convention at College View, Neb., June 29 to July 10. They have done this in view of the fact that at the meeting of the council when the location was discussed, College View appeared to be the second choice. We sincerely trust that this will meet the minds of our teachers generally. It would indeed have been pleasant, and we believe profitable, to meet on the Pacific Coast, and to thus enable the teachers in that portion of the country to attend the convention. However, inasmuch as it appears impossible to carry out this plan, we hope that special efforts will be put forth by the teachers and conferences in the West to see that arrangements are made to enable all who desire to attend to do so—and all our educational workers should desire to attend. We shall endeavor to announce a general outline of work to be covered by the convention next week.
