We shall be grateful if you will bring these problems before your steff and student body now and in the early fall and spring. This letter is being sent to both men's and women's directors in all teacher education institutions in the United States where majors or minor curriculums have been established. JIn case you are not directly concerned, please pass the letter to the person most likely to Bg give ve it attention. All of your efforts are appreciated. With ee the effiliation of individuals in our. field with their state, district, and national esscciations is now the greatest in history, despite the tremendous loss of personnel during these times and the elimination of practically all conventions. This achievement should give us a grand basis for more intense efforts after the war and should give every interested professional person a sense of satisfaction that his or her professional organization responded well during the emergency.
