The City Auditorium, the principal churches, Lincoln High School, Shat tuek School, the Central Library, Reed College, all will furnish a share of the meting places for these conferences and the delegate who comes to the convention, in this maze of important meetings, will select the one that comes in his or her line and adhere probably to It, in the main, aside from the gen eral meetings in the Auditorium, which, of course, will be generally attended. Luncheon for President Aley. One of the most Important social events is the luncheon in honor of President Robert J.

EAST FEELS WAR MORE Head of Educational Association Telegraphs President Wilson Asking Instructions for Forthcoming Convention. ' Robert J. Aley. of Orono. Me., pres ident of tbV National Education Asso ciation and a National figure In educa tion, reached Portland yesterday aft ernoon and at once plunged Into the preliminary plans for the N. E. A. con vention here. He declared himself as wen satisfied with the arrangements and predicted a treraenduos aather- ng of teachers and others interested in educational affairs durinc- tha week of July 7-1. Mr. Aley is president of tha Univer sity of Maine and has long been prom inent in scnoiastlo affairs in this coun try. He was formerly a leader in Indian education and he has been a National figure in the deliberations of the Council of Education. He was one of the men called to Washington re cently for a conference on the food situation, and he has been in demand throughout the country as a lecturer. He is just completing a lecture tour that stretched across the continent. Last night he went to Tacoraa, where he speaks before a patriotio mass meeting in the Tacoma Stadium today. Doctor's Degree) Is Given, On his way West President Aley was pa.id high honor by the University of Pennsylvania. Upon -him was con ferred the degree of LL. D. Mrs. Aley Is accompanying him on the trip and he will return to Portland tonight. He will personally direct the work of final preparation for the conven tion. President Aley was met at the train upon his arrival yesterday by Superin tendent Alderman. Secretary Springer, of the N. E. A and O. M. Plummer, of the School Board. He at once plunged into the task of going through great quantities of mail awaiting his inspection at the N. E. A. headquarters at the Multnomah Hotel. His whole afternoon was an exceedingly busy one. "The war situation with us seems to be a little more acute than 1 find it here in the West, he said. "The colleges and universities in the East have been harder nit, proDaDiy, man those in the West. We lost nearly COO men at the University of Maine prior to commencement. The oppor tunities to E-et Into the Navy, the Coast rnitroi ana. tne uoast Artillery nave drawn heavily upon the supply of young men, and these enlistments hrins- the war a little bit nearer. However, judging from the two tests of the liberty loan and the Red cross drive, I suppose it cannot be said that one part of the country is more alive to tha situation than another. ' Food Is Conserved. "In our part of the country a great deal of attention is being turned to the conservation of food and canning and preserving demonstrations will be liven in every town In our state. l came into somewhat close toucn witn one phase of the war at ort Douglas Salt Lake City, where 1 saw a stocK ada where a large number of Cer mans are Interned. "Throughout my entire Journey from Maine to Oregon I found great interest among educators in the Portland meet ing of the is. E. A. L,eaaers in educa tion throughout the United States seem to realize that education is on trial in this srreat National crisis. "Many have charged tnat education has failed because it has not kept the Nation out of war. Others say It has failed because it has not made us ef ficient in war. In every session of our Portland meeting we are going to con slder educatton in relation to Condi tlons brought about by war. This meet- inar will influence American educators as no otner rneeiinaj ns uj uc Preliminaries Please Educator. "I am greatly pleased with the com plete arrangements by the local com mlttees In Portland. The city has cer tainly dona Its chare to make tha vis iting educators welcome. The fine auditorium, the excellent hotel facil ities and the whole-souled welcome Portland Is planning to extend will doubtless contribute much toward mak Ing the teachers of the country want to return to fortiana soon lor a sec ond meeting." President Aley is extremely aroused over tha National situation and he It was who was first to sound the slogan "Preparedness, patriotism, conservation and nationalism." This has been adopt ed as the motto of the annual N. E. A. session. President Aley went Into the ar rangements so far perfected for the convention and pronounced them excel lent. In the course of the afternoon he prepared and sent forward the fol lowing telegram to President Wilson: H,ainbia Wood row Wilson. President ef the United States: In bthalt of the officers of tha National Education Aeaoclation and of the thousands of educators of the Na tion who win asaamoie in annual conven tion In Portland July 7 to 14.
