SWAIN CHOSEN (Continued from page I. ) The entire report of the nominations committee waa adopted by the active members at their annual buatness meeting held at assembly hall. Had X. Z. Snyder remained In the running for the presidency presi-dency it Is thought that a lively light would have been developed and that he would probably have Veep placed In nomination from the floor of the convention conven-tion In the event that Dr. Swain would have been Indorsed by the committee, with Mr. Snyder In the raoe. Mr. Snyder withdrew, it ia understood, because he did not wish to clash with a woman. Miss Margaret Haley of Chicago Chi-cago bitterly opposed Mr. Snyder's nomination nom-ination because of tirssrulalty In procedure, pro-cedure, alleged to have been rssponsibls for his nomination by the committee In 110 at Boston. At that time Mlaa Haley and others disregarded the choice of the committee and placed In nomination from the floor Mrs. Ella Flagg Young of Chicago, Chi-cago, who waa subsequently elected. Rather than tight out the old grievance with Mlas Haley and her women followers, follow-ers, Mr. Snyder withdrew from tbe race. Appropriations Raises Mow. Ths sssslon of ths active members wss featured by a spirited argument and discussion dis-cussion over the distribution and appropriations appro-priations by ths executive committee among committees carrying on nation wide work. When Carroll O. Pearss of Milwaukee, vice president of ths executive committee, commit-tee, ssked that ths report of ths executive committee relative to the apportionment of funds among the several favored committees com-mittees be sdopted the fight began. This report provided for the following apportionment of the available funds. Committee on articulation of high schools and colleges, $1350: committee on rural schools, $1000. committee on teachers teach-ers salaries, tenure and pensions, $675 ; committee on uniform nomenclature In English grammar, $1400 , committee on college entrance requirements, S40; committee com-mittee on vocational guidance and vocational voca-tional training, $3000. Those who opposed the report were unanimous In taking the stand that H waa outrageous thst nothing had been appropriated for "the most Important committee of all" that on the health of children in the public schools. Ths speakers speak-ers who led this contention claimed that It was unfair and even ridiculous for ths commltts on uniform nomenclature In English grammar to be allotted, aa the commutes recommended, $1400 and the heelth committee not a cent. In the remarks that flew thick and fast In the debate thst followed considerable sarcasm wss implied and express sd over the Importance of the nomenclature committee com-mittee In comparison to ths work designed de-signed for the health committee. Many suggestions were made. Thrse-querters of sn hour of argument lapsed before an amendment to ths report was made and adopted. This amendment wss a victory for those who supported the health committee In Huhetsnce, the amendment eras that the executive committee Included ths health of school children committee snd ths committee com-mittee on standards of tests snd eff 1 -:en v In reapportioning the funds on a Pio rata basis between the committees nam I In the report with the exception of the committee on teachers salaries, tenure and pensions, which should be allotted Iti orleinal appropriation of $478. The executive committee recommended In connection with Its report of appropriation, appropria-tion, that the unexpended balancee of at) appropriations for the use of committees, made In former years, after paying such bills ss may be now outstanding against such sppropiistlons, be recovered Into the general fund of the association and thus made available for any necessary purposes pur-poses during ths coming vear. In addition to the election of officers and the discussion over the appropriations the reports of numerous committees were read and sdoptsd. In some Instances slight amendments being provided Chief among these reports wars those by the Joint committee on grammatical nomenclature: nomen-clature: ths committee on vocational education edu-cation and vocational guidance: ths committee com-mittee on resolutions snd the report of the treasurer. Ths final resolutions, as adopted ttils morning, were outlined in THE TELEORAM Tuesdsy Ths full fine! report of ths resolutions committee was adopted unanimously, though a fight on some of ths measures provided for was expected to develop. Ths treasurer reported thst ths amount of net Income paid to the association during dur-ing the year ending June 12 was S7.14.lt The association's permanent fund now laves la-ves tag) amounts to $I$.0. $o. not including includ-ing rash on hand, amounting to SlSfT.se. sweating inrsstensau |
