This meeting prom- ises to be of more than usual interest to teachers and of importance to the cause of education in Illinois, accord- ing to Superintendent C. W. Wash- burne. The president this year is Mrs, Bertha S. Armbruster, principal of the Tilton school, Chicago, who is the second woman to receive this honor. The other was Mrs. Ella Flagg Young of Chicago, who was president in 1910. The program has been arranged by Dr. Walter P. Morgan, president of the Western State Teachers' college at Macomb, and chairman of the ex- ecutive committee of the association. The leading speakers engaged are Dr. Edward T. Devine, noted econo- mist and sociologist; Cora Wilson Stewart, famous for her Kentucky "moonlight schools"; Count Ilya Tols- toy, son of the famous Russian author; Mrs. Blanch A. Buhlig, Chicago, presi- dent of the Illinois Council of Parent- Teacher associations; and State Su- perintendent, Francis G. Blair. Delegates for 33,000 The meeting is open to all members of the association, but the business will be transacted by delegates repre- senting the 33,000 members in the sev- eral local divisions. These delegates constitute the "Representative As- sembly," which will hear and act upon the reports of the officers and com- mittee. The officers to report are President Bertha S. Armbruster, Sec- retary Robert C. Moore, Research Di- rector I. R. Grimm, and Treasurer Charles McIntosh. Among the com- mittees to report are those on appro- priations, legislation, resolutions, teacher training, radio instruction, campaign of F. G. Blair for president of the N. E. A,, state school fund, and larger district unit. Besides these reg- ular business features, there will be luncheons, dinners and meetings by special groups, and several delightful social features. Since the reports of the officers and committees will deal with several im- portant and unsolved problems of edu- cation and finance and since the 55th General Assembly convenes a week later, the decisions made and the ac- tion taken at this meeting will be watched with interest not only by teachers but also by members of the legislature and by the general public. Victor Harding, Jr., son of the Victor Harding of 789 Burr avenue, returned Friday, December 17, from Phillips- Exeter academy, to visit his parents during his Christmas vacation.
