Fifty children from the Brooklyn andQuqens schools were the orchestra whoseplalng of patriotic airs started theconvention. Ah "America" and "TheStar Spangled Banner," for which the

"New York city," the Mayor said,"does not begrudge one single dollar thatIt spends on public education, and Itstands ready as It has at alltimes, to appropriate to this great pur-pose every dollar whnee necessity canbe demonstrated to the financial au-thorities."

He. suggested that the teachnrj. Ifthey had time, examine the workings oftne uary-ir- i plan --as tried here. Healso said:

"If I were a member of your profes-sion y I would search my soul itndask whether I were doing all In mypower to build up In the youth of thiscountry that spirit of national patriotismthat gave birth to tho republic and thathas kept It alive In periods of crisis."Ho advocated training for national defence In all schools. Superintendent.Maxwell, in his letter, also urged unlveral military training.

Dr. Jordan said: "I came here from acountry whose greatest need Is 30,000teachers, and we mustn t make the mistake of sending them 20,000 men whoare not ready to teach and of whose artMexico ulready knows too much." (Applause.)

Inatraetlon whereby the poor boy or flrlwould work In stdro or factory for aweek and bo In school the next week.He thought there should be a nationaluniversity In Washington. The divisionof the twelve-year- s nf elementary andsecondary schooling Into two six yearperiods of forty-eig- weeks a yearwas also part of his programme.

To Mr. Taft, whose appiaronce wasapplauded even more than that of MayorMltchel, was assigned the topic "laThore Wasto tn Modern Kducatlon VBut he preferred to outline the plan ofthe League to Knforce Peace, of whichha Is president. He said :

"We are the richest nation In theworld and In the sense of what we couldAo were we to make reasonable prepara-tion, we are the most powerful nationIn the world. We have been showeredwith good fortune. Our people have

"At the close of this war the govern-ments and the peaple of the belligerentcountrlen, under the enormous bunionsand suffering from the great losses ofthe war, will be In a of mindtn accept and promote such a plan forthe enforcement of future peare.
