Dear Fellow-Educator:

The School of Education at the University of Kansas has secured
Dr. Karl ¥. Bigelow to speak at the University, Monday evening,
June 26, on Teacher Education. Dr. Bigelow is Director of 4
Commission which is undertaking a five-year, nation-wide stucy
of the education of teachers under the sponsorship of the Amer-
ican Council on Education.

It seems both appropriate and desirable that all those to whom
teacher--training in Kensas is a matter of concern should take
stock of the present situation and discuss the problems which
lie shead. For this purpose, we cordially invite you and all
others who are interested to attend an informal conference here
on teacher-training problems, Monday afternoon, June 26, and to
hear Dr. Bigelow's address in the evening. oo

A copy of the program which is in preparation will reach you
soon. We believe that this subject is of deep concern to all

of us, whether we are interested in teacher-training institutions.
--including private, state, and junior colleges--, the State
Department of Education, school administrators, the State board
of Education, State Teachers Association, the teachers trained,
or the general public. The University is providing opportunity
for a conference on this matter of common interest. We earnestly
invite you to come and to bring others with you.

Sincerely yours
