EDUCATORS
IN SESSION AT
SALT LAKE
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, July 7
(by Associated Press).—In her annu
* nl address to the members of the
national education association, Mrs.
r Josephine Corless Preston, president
of the association said:
“I am pleased to meet and greet
this large and representative group of
men and women tonight as president
of the national education association.
1 have felt pround and have deemed
It a great honor to serve as presi
dent this year.
“My first official act was to help
select the new home of the N. E. A.,
located on Sixteeneh street in Wash
^ ington, D. C., directly across from the
home of the National Geographic so
ciety. It is a commodous four-story
building for which we paid $98,000.
Its purchase comes as the culmination
of our united efforts from the begin
ning of the association. To the pio
neer educators who more than fifty
years ago founded the N. E. A. are we
indebted for this association of educa
tors. To them and to the leaders in
education who have followed are we
indebted for the foresight which they
gave this association not only its
organization, but also its financial
backing. Our savings from yearly
dues have accumulated until in 1919,
upon becoming president of the organ
ization, I found $200,000 in govern
ment bonds to the credit of the N.
E. A. Our permanent home will be
formally dedicated this summer to the
children and to the schools—to the
homes and to the people of America.
We have an association numbering
thousands in actual paid member
ships, a permanent headquarters and
a program of work that should cement
us, representing different groups and
interests in the field of education, in
to one great common ideal of united
action for the welfare of the children.
“The National Education Associa
tion is truly a factor now in the civic
and educational life of this nation.
“The world war awakened us to a
new conception of the service of edu
cation. It brought us face to face
with the weaknesses in our American
education.
— —_ me war, as notning eise couiu
p have done, brought to the attention
of an indifferent public the impor
tance of education. The public school
machinery of the United States swung
its force into action upon the num
erous war drives; Mr. Business man,
who had paid his school tax rather
grudgingly; Mr. Banker who had scru
tinized his tax in a cold and cal
culating way, not quite sure that there
had been value received for the dol
lars paid; Mr. Farmer who had fussed
and fumed many times because of the
fads and frills of education (nothing
like this when he was a boy); Mr.
Labor man who too many times claim
ed the schools were maintained for
the capitalist children—schools need
ed to be more practical; Mrs. Society
woman who did not think the teach
er had sufficient social prestige to
belong to her exclusive set; all of
these groups of people had it borne
in upon their conscious minds that
public schools make an important link
between home and society.
“The greatest machinery in the
world in turning its wheels into action <
upon the needs of the world war won
an appreciation for the education of
the youth of our land that promises
permanent recognition of all educa
tional demands as well as increased
revenues to meet those demands.
“For instance, the first outstanding
problem set forth by the N. E. A,
emergency commission at Pittsburg in
1918—that of “compensation for the
teacher” together with all that it in
volved brought the N. E. A. leaders
and speakers in close touch with all
associations of business men, bankers,
farmers, club women, labor organiz
ations, and parent-teacher organiza
tions. “You must pay our teachers
more money,” was the message force
fully presented to them and through
them to thousands of others.
“Folks were startled by the dis
clousure of facts. But even then,
some would not listen; not till the
school room doors closed by thous
ands; not till Miss Inexperience and
Miss Untrained walked into the school
rooms, to instruct inefficiently hun
dreds—yes thousands—of America’s
young hopefuls, was the great mes
sage of the “teacher need” borne in
upon public mind.
“The National Education Associa
tion blazed a trail that encouraged
state educational leaders and stimu
lated them to action. This year in
one eastern state through united ef
fort was secured an appropriation of
$29,000,000 for teachers; from a south
ern state $4,000,000 in this same year;
and from a far western state $3,500,
000 for teachers’ salaries. Every
where states have reported increases
this year.
“Adequate salaries for our teach
ers”—that is the slogan from the At
lantic to the Pacific. Our first out
standing educational problem is be
ing solved.”

TURKS VERY WILLING
TO CHANGE CITIZENSHIP
WITHOUT COMPUNCTION
CONSTANTINOPLE, July 7 (by As
sociated Press).—Citizenship is a
commercial commodity which is hawk
ed about in the cities of the Levant
with an indifference which makes
Westerners wonder whether the mix
ed commercial populations of near
eastern cities are capable of patri
otism and devotion to any country.
An American business man in Con
stantinople who was recently em
ploying some agents asked many ap
plicants what their citizenship was.
Without exception the men produced
passports from most of the Balkan
states and expressed a willingness
to feign any citizenship which might
be necessary and to change as cir
cumstances might demand. When
the American expressed surprise they
assured him it was very easy to get
papers fixed for a consideration.
Most of the Levantines who had
German and Austrian citizenship have
very speedily taken Czecho-Slovak
papers or say they have become Jugo
slavs. It is just as easy for them to
change their nationality as it is for
tlK chamelon to change his colors.
Many Levantine firms have shuf
fled the c'tizenship of their members
in such a manner as to have no diffi
culty in meeting any business emer
gencies which may rise, and make
claims on the various consular and
diplomatic representatives for assis
tance in their commercial operations.
The fashion in citizenship changes
in Constantinople and other near east
ern ports just as the styles in hats.
Greek citizenship has recently become
popular because of the good treat
ment Greece had at the hands of the
peace conference and the general be
lie? that Great Britain is definitely be
hind commercial interests and expects
to do its business largely through
Greek intermediaries.
