UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
ENGLISH SOCIETY TO BE PERMANENT
Kansas Teachers of English Elect Officers and Appoint Committees.
A provisional organization of the English teachers of Kansas was formed at the University during the annual High School Conference, March 16, to unite in a single permanent organization the activities of the English section of the Conference and the English Round Table of the Kansas State Teachers' Association. Membership includes all English teachers of elementary schools, secondary schools, and colleges, and all supervisors of teaching in active service. The provisional membership fee is twenty-five cents, and members are entitled under certain conditions to a special rate on subscriptions to the English Journal, the regular price of which is two dollars for ten monthly numbers.
All the business done is subject to final ratification by the English Round Table of the State Teachers' Association which meets at Topaka, November 7, 1912. A constitution modeled upon that of the English Association of Indiana was adopted, subject to amendment, and the following officers were elected to serve until the time named: President, Prof. E. M. Hopkins, chairman of the RoundTable; vice president, Supt. L. A. Lowther of Emporia; secretary-treasurer, Miss Charlotte M. Leavitt of Washburn College; editor, Prof. J. W. Searson of the State Agricultural College; member of executive committee, Principal Jessie Mustard of Mankato. Two research committees of the Round Table were named as committees of the new Association; chairman of the high school committee, Miss Lela F. Douthart of Kansas City, Kansas; chairman of the elementary school committee, Supt. John H. Bender of Arkansas City.
On invitation of the National Council of Teachers of English, the Association voted to join the council and to make the official organ of the council, the English Journal, a medium for the publication of proceedings, important papers, and the results of investigation. At the request of the council, the high school committee chairman Miss Douthart, was named to cooperate with similar committees in other states in making inquiry of high school graduates as to the efficiency of their training in English. Other problems for investigation were then discussed, including standards of grading, comparative tests or oral and written composition, of class and individual teaching, of cooperation of other teachers with English teachers, and of the possibility and probable efficiency of departmental teaching in grade schools.
