Dr. J. B. Nash was the outstanding
speaker of the Convention. He was sched~
uled for two talks and was kind enough to
speak at a third meeting in place of Dean
Schwegler who was prevented from coming
because of illness. Dr. Nash's talks will
be reviewed in later issues of the Bulle-
tin.

Many people expressed disappointrént
that Dean Schwegler was unable to appear
on account of illness as he is an unusually
interesting and worthwhile speaker.

All previous attendance records of the
K.H. & P.H.A. state convention were topped
by the attendance at McPherson. Nearly
200 people registered for the meetings and
the number of students attending is stead-~
ily increasing. This fact is encouraging
and should lead to an increasing teachor
membership as these students get out into
the field.

The present membership of the Asscciation
is 239. Of these 68 are students and 171
are teachers in the fie.*. “his is the
largest membership tiie«ats. rw cssuciation

has ever had and represents a healthy
increase over last year.

Mr. E. R. Sheldon represented the
office of the State Superintendent of
Education in the absence of Supt. McCien-
ny who was prevented from attending be-
cause of a meeting of the State Board
of Education. The paper read by Mr.
Sheldon was an excellent presentation
of the value of physical education in
an educational program. It was very
eratifying to know that the State Sup-
erintendent has such an attitude toward
the physical education program.

The Program Committee and section
chairmen deserve a great deal of cormen-
dation for the splendid group of speaker:
which they secured for this convention,
All section meetings were very well
attended and the programs were of a high
order.

Miss Helen Hirni did a fine job as
Convention Manager. That job is always
a long, hard one full of vexing details.
This Convention moved along smoothly
and on schedule. The printed program
with the information which it contained
was worthy of special mention,
