St- (SpcUl Dlipntrh to The Jonrnfil.) I Chicago, Jan. 25. Morton MacCormae, president of the National Commercial Teachers' federation.

T "The fifth annual convention In Spo kane will be truly national in char acter," Mr. MacQormac said In an In terview, "and wetook for representa tives from every state In the union and all the Canadian provinces, besides sev eral prominent commercial school edu cators from abroad and at least 10 eads of state universities and colleges. It is likely we will nave a series of shorthand and typewriting contests for championships also a comprehensive display of office appliances, at which the foremost manufacturers on this con tinent ana elsewhere can display their machinery, furniture and other equip ment. We believe such an exposition alone would be worth going half way across toe continent to see. Besides the three days devoted to commercial tchool methods, It is likely we shall aet aside one day to be devoted ex clusively to the exposition." PEOPLE'S INITIATIVE I MEASURES NOT TO BE !
