ON TO MITCHELL!

SUPT. C. J. DALTHORP, Aberdeen
President of the SDEA for 1935

ht of us who are vitally interested in educa-
tion in South Dakota are at this time con-
sidering a trek to Mitchell, the Corn Palace City,
to attend the SDEA meeting the four days pre-
ceding Thanksgiving Day. Our decisions involve
both time and money. If we spend those two
valuable things for an as-
sembly of this type, we cet-
tainly expect something very
worthwhile in the form of
entertainment and inspiration.
Consequently our decisions
will depend largely upon the
attractions promised by the
program.

It is easy to survey the con-
vention talent, regardless of
its merit, and nonchalantly
push it aside with the com-
ment, “There is nothing to
interest me.” This article is
intended to supplement the
programs published elsewhere
in this magazine and to assure
you that there is something
or several things which justify
your decision to go to Mit-
chell. Your president, who
has devoted much time and
thought to the 1935 selections
of speakers, is proud to
recommend them to you as
constituting an outstanding,
well-balanced array of speakers with messages = oF
interest to every educator in the state.

William McAndrew

William McAndrew is known as the grand old
man of education and the sage of Mamaroneck.
He is a homely philosopher with a touch of subtle
humor and a dispenser of sound educational prin-
ciples in a simple and interesting manner. His
audiences are always enthusiastic about him. Any-
one who reads School and Society or the Nation’s
Schools is stimulated by his expressive and timely
educational articles. Years of experience as class-
room teacher, as a high school principal, and as
superintendent of schools in Chicago during the
famous Mayor Bill Thompson fights give him a
background unequalled from an educational point
of view.

Forrest (Phog) Allen

The director of athletics at the University of
Kansas is without a peer in America when it
comes to lectures on athletics. His fine stage ap-
pearance, expressive English, and excellent voice
have made him popular throughout the nation.
His broad experience as a
basketball coach, a writer,
and organizer in athletics
qualifies him as an authority
who will bring an inspiration-
al message to all of us.

Robert England

This fine Canadian gentle-
man who lives in Winnipeg
was educated in the schools
of England. His lectures on
international relations are
sane and informative. His
broad educational background
and extensive experience as a
public lecturer before nation-
al radio audiences and public
groups in both the United
States and Canada assure us
he will make an excellent
contribution to our program.

Roy W. Hatch -

Professor of the social
studies and geography at the
New Jersey State Teachers
College at Montclair, Dr.
Hatch has served as visiting professor at many of
the leading universities in the east. His exten-
sive writings in the field of geography and the
social studies, in addition to his scholarly lectures
on the place of geography and the social studies
in the curriculum, eminently qualify him for one
of the leading parts on the program.

Mrs. Carol Pitts

As an Omaha, Nebraska, musician and teacher,
Mrs. Pitts is not a stranger to the school people
of South Dakota. Last April she served as a
critic judge for the state music contest in Sioux
Falls. For many years she has attracted national
attention with her outstanding choruses and glee
clubs in Central High School, Omaha. She knows
music thoroughly and has a direct and forceful
stage delivery that will interest us all.
