HRS' ELECTION RACE NARROWS DOUR 10 LOCAL MAR AND ISS WRITAKER Old Fight Between Rank and File and Superintendents Crops Out in State Convention—Delegate System Proposed Again. C. V. HAWORTH MENTIONED AS FLOOR LEADER FOR BATTLE Speeches Upon Justice to Pupils and Value of Music in Classrooms Stressed in Addresses of Noted Educators. Renewal of the old fight between the rank and file of the school teachers of Indiana and the county and city superintendents was threatened at the seventy-first annual convention of the Indiana Teachers’ Association today. The figs cropped out in two instances, first over the selection of a president for the coming year, second over the proposal to replace the present mass meeting at business sessions with a delegate system.

Miss Martha Whitaker of Richmond undoubtedly has the general backing of the teachers outside of Indianapolis for the presidency. E. U. Graff, superintendent of Indianapolis schools, apparently is backed by the superintendents. This battle was fought out before the nominating committee at the Claypcol today. Preliminary Line-Up Before the committee met those close to the situation said that Miss Whitaker was assured of six votes. Graff of four, with the remaining three in doubt. During the morning vigorous efforts were made to have the resolutions committee report in favor of the delegate system for business sesj sions. It was believed this effort ; would fail, and hackers of the movement, composed largely of superintendents and principals, threatened to carry the fight to the floor of the convention at Cadle Tabernacle at 4 p. ni. C. V. Haworth, superintendent of Kokomo schools, who was not reelected a member of the executive committee at the Ninth district meeting Thursday, was mentioned as floor leader in case the fight is taken to the convention. Defeated Heretofore In past years efforts of this character invariably have met with defeat. Haworth was an outstanding leader of the losing forces in the battle for a revision of the constitution two years ago. Discipline Necessary “Be kind, just and firm.” advised Dr. J. C. Brown, president State Normal School, St. Cloud, Minn., at Tomlinson Hall. Dr. Robert J. Aley, president Butler University, introduced the speaker. “The principal cause of failure of teachers Is inadequate discipline,” j Dr. Brown said. “Music is an essential part of education," said Hollis Dann, State supervisor of music in Pennsylvania. Dann urged a properly trained music teacher in every school room. “Indiana has recognized its musical obligation to children. The nature of that obligation is the principal business we are concerned with today," he said. “Os 354 universities and colleges 78 per cent credit music to the A. B. degree and 82 per cent allow mysic credit for enttrance.” “Musically incompetent teachers make progress Impossible. There is no short cut. There should be a definite training program for every teacher,” he said. Tech Orchestra Plays Technical High School Orchestra and Terre Haute High School Glee Club furnished music. Dr. Edwin A. Seligman, New York, discussed “The Tax Problem,” and Thomas H. Briggs of Columbia University, on "General Education Supporting Vocational Education,” this afternoon. Dr. H. L. Smith of Indiana University, gave a report on educational survey. Value of county wide supervision and instruction was shown in the report on the rural school demonstration in Johnson and La Grange counties by State superintendent of public instruction, hy Dr. H.
