ment of a national university; increased 

 national support of instruction in agri- 

 culture and domestic economy, such as 

 congress has provided in this session ; 

 federal legislation in regard to child 

 labor, marriage and divorce; for in- 

 struction favoring international good 

 will and against military training in 

 the schools; the use of the public 

 school houses and grounds as social and 

 recreation centers for the community; 

 school district parks with instruction in 

 gardening; vocational training and vo- 

 cational guidance; instruction in sex 

 hygiene in normal schools, but not in 

 public schools, and the acceptance by 

 the college of the education supplied by 

 the high school. The association is nat- 

 urally in favor of increased salaries for 

 teachers and it endorses equal pay for 

 equal work by men and women. 



This year a resolution was passed con- 

 demning the activities of the General 

 Education Board and the Carnegie 

 Foundation for the Advancement of 

 Teaching. Like the recent action of 

 congress in forbidding cooperation be- 

 tween the Department of Agriculture 



and the General Education Board and in 

 refusing a charter to Mr. Rockefeller's 

 new foundation, this may in part be due 

 to antagonism to men whose names have 

 been associated with business methods 

 and results which are no longer ap- 

 proved. But there is a wide-spread 

 aversion to the meddling of these corpo- 

 rations with public education, or even lo 

 their dictating policies to other endowed 

 institutions. 



There was elected as president of the 

 association for the next year, Dr. David 

 Starr Jordan, from its establishment 

 president and now chancellor of Stan- 

 ford University, distinguished equally 

 for his work in science, in education and 

 for social progress.
