legislative bodies as Indy be necessary
to obtain needed legislation.
After carefully considering the matter
the Commissioner of Education; decided
that a series of regionaj conferences
would he more effective than one con
ference for the entire country. could he,
making possible a much larger total
attendance, fund a more practical and
detailed discussion of , conditions anti
methods of meeting them in the States
of the several sections.
