The article focuses on Conference of the National Education Association. The programme was a formidable one, and no visitor, however active of body and keen of spirit, could hope to do more than obtain a superficial glimpse of what was being done. During the brief space of five days there were held ninety-nine meetings, of which ten were general sessions. The list of speakers contained 450 names, and the actual number of speeches made must have been well over a thousand. The themes were Americanization of aliens, the promotion of classical studies, the development of rural education, the relation of democracy in education to democracy in government, and woman's part in financing the war.
