Excerpt from The Education and Training of Secondary Teachers, Vol. 1
A great deal of interest is awakened in the question of preparing secondary teachers. It is hoped that we shall get something thoroughly good and helpful from the discussion and conferences at Milwaukee.
One characteristic of our Society should be clear, frank discussion, vigorous and progressive. This is impossible unless the Yearbook is studied before the meetings.
Several rules that the experience of the Society has led it to adopt will be applied by the presiding officer whenever necessary or advisable; for instance, none but active members have the privilege of discussion in meetings except through the courtesy of the Society or its officers; preference is given to members who have read the Yearbook; it is the right and duty of the presiding officer to hold the discussion to the topic under consideration; he may divide the question and take up the topics in a progressive order; also the presiding officer may in advance or at the meeting invite guests to participate in discussion.
At the Wednesday session a few ten-minute reports setting forth the problems and indicating the progress of work that members arc specifically engaged upon will be received. If it should prove advisable, and acceptable to all concerned, these reports may be presented at an extra session for that purpose. This is one of the ways by which intelligence and interest concerning what members are doing may be promoted.
Arrangements have been made to bring together at an informal dinner Wednesday evening as many members as possible. For this purpose a part of the dining-hall at the Plankington Hotel will be set aside at the regular dining hour, but with special service. To those who are registered at the Plankington on the American plan there will be no extra cost; the cost to others will be $1.00 a plate.
All wishing to join in this should notify President Charles McKenny, Milwaukee, or the Secretary.
The business meeting will take place at the Wednesday session. The items of business so far as known now' are:
Report of the Secretary-Treasurer.
