A. programme la complex, comprising numerous meetings of the association, as well as many meetings of affiliated organizations. By dint of considerable application the seeker after information is able to winnow that which is desired from the official programme, which, though admirably assembled, is naturally of formidable size and ramification.

A. and affiliated organizations, giving the meeting place, the time, whether morning, after noon or evening, and whether the meeting is at luncheon or dinner. By reference to it the sought-for information may be procured Instantly, and, used in conjunction with the official programme, details may be traced at once. It is compiled from the official programme, to which it will be found an effective key. president Aley Declares Youth of America Is In Safe Hands To day and Great Army of Teach ers Is Pledged to Service. Visiting delegates of the National Kducatlon Association, with many Port land residents, filled the new publio Auditorium yesterday afternoon almost to its capacity at the special musical service for Education Sunday. And when, after the Auditorium or chestra, directed by Harold Bayley, had given two or three excellent selections, they arose to sing "America," that gathering tested the stability of the structure with their patriotic volume. W. H. Boyer, who directed the song service, in which the festival chorus participated, protested that even more vim could be stressed into the rendi tion. Whereat all smiled tolerantly and attempted to oblige. Several songs were sung in grand chorus "Oh, Beau tiful for Spacious Skies, "Faith of Our Fathers," and "Onward, Christian Sol diers." II. w. Stone Presides. The service was presided over by IL W. Stone, with Mayor Baker, Presi dent Aley, of the National Education Association; Mrs. Aley, Secretary Springer, of the National Education As sociation: Bishop Sumner and Rev. Joshua Stansfleld participating. In offering the opening prayer Bishop Sumner petitioned that the educators assembled now In Portland might go forward with the work of enlighten ment, and that they might be Inspired to lend new vigor to those lessons or patriotism and high thought which are essential to the training of children. And he prayed that victory may come to the Nation's arms in the strife for democracy, and that wars may cease. Unusual in its angle of appeal, and convincingly eloquent was the brief ad dress by Robert J. Aley, president of the National Education Association. It concerned the rendering of tribute to Caesar, with a modern -and close-to-home application. "I read an interesting story in an old book," said he, "the story of a great teacher, a teacher who taught a good many centurieB ago. He did not please everyone, in his day." Debt to Country Topic. Simply, but with graphic detail, President Aley described the visit of the questioners, who brought their sil ver to that teacher with the query, "Master, is It right to take tribute to Caesar?" Came the counter query: "Whose image or superscription is this?" as the master considered the coin. They answered, "Caesar's." "And then came that memorable re ply," said. President Aley, "'Render un to Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and unto God the things which are God's.' " The debt that true patriots owe to their nation, said President Aley, in ef fect, is Caesar's debt, for to their coun try they are obligated for a haven, for opportunity, for protection, for the enjoyment of freedom and justice, and for participation in justice. He also clared that it Is impossible to enumer ate the debts of gratitude that are owed to Caesar, or one's country. How might they be paid? By loy alty, he declared. Yet within the past few months had appeared the hyphen ates who, accepting America's pro tection and blessings, had withheld tribute and had pledged their loyalty to the land they lrft. He was glad to say that this condition was changing for the better In the crucible of actual war. Hyphens to Be Minna Signs. "And we verily believe that in a few months." declared President Aley, "there will not be left in this great land of liberty and opportunity a single hyphen, they will only be minus signs!" He spoke of the readiness with which the workers of all classes had respond ed to the call for service, which im plied Increased industry at home as well as on the battle line if the war is to be won, and asserted that the loy alty of the people had been proved be yond mistake. Conservation In every way possible constitutes the payment to Caesar, he continued, hnzarAing the belief that Americans throw into the discard every year enough to sustain half of the country's population. "We have come to realize. he ex claimed, "that the maji who will not pav his debt to Caesar is the man who will not succeeed in paying his debt to Cod! Faith In Teachers Expressed. "The teachers are going to see to it that our children know what they owe to Caesar and to God," said President Aley, with deep feeling. "And that they know how to pay the debt and pay it In full. With this army of earnest men and women willing to assume any and all the responsibility that the Gov ernment lays upon them, the future of the country is secure." The musical services were marked by an agreeable informality, and by the enthusiasm of the delegates for the vocal numbers given by the quartet of the First Presbyterian Church and the elections of the orchestra. President Aley was repeatedly applauded in the course of his remarks, and W. H. Boy er's camaraderie with the audience chorus admitted htm at once into their friendship. Following the benediction, pro nounced by Dr. Stansfield, many of the delegates attended the reception at St. Vary'? Academy and College. NAME. PLACE. Monday. Tuesday. Wednesday Thursday. Friday.

Yet, in this weave of welcome, there Is at least one thread, or whatever one chooses to call It, that has proved puzzling:.

With the assembling of these lead ers of the college and school clans, the customary notice has been informally served that a very soft pedal is on con vention politics. Nathless. It Is gener ally admitted that the presidency of the association for the coming term is to go to a woman educator. Only once has this occurred, when Ella Flagg Young, of Chicago, was elected In 1912. Very well, then, which one? Two candidates have been quietly mentioned by their numerous friends and admirers. Both are superitendent of public instruction for their re spective states. They are both West ern women another singularity, al though it is the announced policy of the N. E. A. to regard neither East nor West, but only merit, in Its selections. Josephine Corliss Preston, state superintendent of Washington schools, has been mentioned, and Is admittedly a strong candidate. Of no lesser mag nitude appears to be the sentiment for Mary C. C. Bradford, state superin tendent of Colorado schools. The men tacitly have retired from politics for this convention, and there is every In dication that the women delegates will be permitted to name -their own candidates. The candidacy Issue largely will he settled today In the state headquarters meetings, which are to be held at 5 o'clock In the Multnomah, for the nom lnation of candidates for appointment of the committee of nominations. Each delegate doubtless will be instructed as to the desires of the state members. Nominations Due Thursday.

It is forecast that the fateful recommendations of this committee will be adhered to without dissent at the annual meeting of active members for the election, to bo held In the Auditorium on Friday morning, at 11 o'clock. Delegates have been enthusiastic over the plentitude ard beauty of Ore gon's roses and wild flowers, and are eagerly awaiting the exhibit of wild flowers of Oregon and Portland roses, which will open today in Room B, the Public Auditorium. Convention dele gates have not lacked for tributes of flowers since their arrival, as the local committees have held out to them a choice and constant supply. As a business day, compared with those which follow, today Is "light." And, even at that, it Is rife with Im portant assemblies. The general ses sion open at the Auditorium at 2 o'clock, and convenes again at 7 o'clock. The National Council holds its business meeting at the Multnomah in the forenoon, while the annual meet ing of directors also is held there in the forenoon. Alumnae to Meet President.

GREAT ECONOMY ASKED CSE BREAD AND WHEAT FOODS ONLY TWICE DAILY, IS PLEA. Dr. Charles R. Van Hlse, Representa tive of Herbert Hoover, to Address N. E. A. Convention. Eat bread and wheat products only twice a day. Cut out 25 per cent of your sugar consumption. Eat meat only once a day.

He urges the people to learn how to can and dry their fruits and vegetables and advised them to make use of the Information compiled and distributed by the state agricultural colleges and the United States Department of Agri culture on these rubjects. He also points out that a substantial saving in the wheat supply can be ac complished by substituting barley, rice, corn or oatmeal for bread at one meal a day, and by using the crusts and the broken slices. The average American, he added, con sumes four ounces of sugar a day, which Is too much. Eat more beets and carrots. They contain a lot of sugar.
