15.000 HOOSIER TEACHERS OPEN ANNUAL PARLEY 41 Sectional Meetings Hold Interest as Convention Gets Under Way. Hoosier school teachers. 15,000 strong, marched on Indianapolis onrly today, turning downtown streets into a huge campus as they returned to "school” for the annual two-day Indiana State Teachers’ Association convention. Dismissing their own classes Wednesday, many of the visiting teachers arrived here later in the day, coming by train, interurban, and automobile. Without wasting time on preliminaries, the host of instructors settled down at once to a busy twoday program of sectional and general meetings before which more than 160 speakers of state and national prominence are scheduled to speak. Stuart to Speak Tonight Forty-one sectional meetings occupied attention of the teachers this morning again this afternoon. First general session of the convention will be held at 8 tonight in Cadle tabernacle, with the retiring president, Miss Mattie B. Fry, Anderson, presiding. Two outstanding addresses arc scheduled, one the inaugural address of the new president, Milo H. Stuart, Indianapolis, and the other an address on “Mussolini” by Tom Skeyhill, noted Australian poet, World war soldier and student of world affairs. Stuart today denied reports Skeyhill had been injured and would not be here to speak, stating telegrams received this mQrning advised that Skeyhill is en\ route here from Toronto. Stuart was elected president at the convention a year ago and took office Jan. 1, 1931. Convention committees will be announced at the close of the general session tonight. j Election in Doubt With battles pending in every district over election of nominating committee members, choice of the convention for the next president was in doubt, although it practically is assured that a woman will be named to the post, following custom of alternating each year between men and women. Miss Clara Rathfon, dean of girls at Logan,sport high school, has been mentioned as possible choice. Miss Rathfon is said to have support of the State Federation of public school teachers, which two years age was successful in overriding the slate of the nominating committee, naming Miss Mattie B. Fry from the floor and winning her election. Fight to unseat Charles O. Williams, as permanent executive secretary of the association, begun at the convention a year ago, is expected to be removed at the business session Friday morning.

Ritter Fight Expected It is expected a bitter battle will be waged to prevent action on proposed amendments to the constitution, introduced a year ago, and which, it is claimed, were not introduced properly because they were not read from the floor. The amendments provided for secret balloting in elections, legalizing absentee voting, incorporating the Indiana Teacher, the official publication of the association, and for changing the executive secretary post from permanent to a four-year term. All teachers attending the convention will meet at 4 today in Cadle tabernacle, where they will be assigned to district meetings. Change in congressional districts, made by the last legislature, reducing the number of districts from thirteen to twelve, will result in a new realignment of teachers by counties at the district meetings, as the association is organization along congressional c 1 trict lines. Nominations Due Friday One vice-president, one nominating committee member and one nominee for delegate to the 1932 N. E. A. convention will be named at each of the twelve district meetings. In addition, the Eleventh and Twelfth districts will elect executive committee members and the general convention Friday will elect two other membcrs-at-large. The nominating committee will meet early Friday to make its selections, presenting its report at the general business session later Friday morning in Cadle tabernacle. Report of the resolutions committee, adopted Oct. 3 by the committee, of which W. A. Denny, Anderson, is chairman, also will be presented to the convention Friday morning. Resolutions to be acted on in-
