Laura Zirbes

Miss Zirbes is perhaps as widely known in the
field of elementary education as anyone in the
country. At the present time she is professor of
education and director of the demonstration school
at Ohio State University. Every progressive pri-
mary teacher has at some time used her materials
on reading. Her knowledge of elementary prob-
lems, her personality, and her charming delivery
will be sure to captivate South Dakota teachers.

Agnes Samuelson

The president of the National Education As-
sociation has made her influence felt throughout
the Northwest for many years through her con-
tribution to better opportunities for rural school
children. Her election in 1933 to the office of
state superintendent of public instruction in Iowa
was unopposed, a fine tribute to her ability as an
educator. Her sincere interest in problems similar
to those confronting us in South Dakota will
challenge us to greater efforts in our own state.

Clemens Granskou

The president of Augustana College has made
a distinct place for himself in South Dakota edu-
cational circles during the few years he has been
in the state. His experiences as a missionary in
China, a soldier in the World War and_ his
theological training will make us all eager to
listen to his convention sermon on Sunday evening.

Important Notice!

John F. Hines

Our state superintendent of public instruction,
Mr. John F. Hines, has proved his right to the
respect of the people of South Dakota during the
few months he has served in the office. Everyone
will be interested in hearing his program for edu-
cation in the state.
