Qualtrotigh. supervisor of the primary grades of tho Salt Lake schools, delivered a tribute to the untir ing and often unrewarded efforts of the school teacher. She characterized the teacher as the one who was llttlo known, considered of the least Importance, who came unheralded and departed unnoticed. She was listened to with the greatest attention and her remarks evoked a great amount of enthusiastic applause. An ovation greeted A. C. Nelson upon his Introduction by Superintendent Chrls- tenscn as a man upon whom all political parties In Utah had been able to agree for ono office. Superintendent Nelson's address was mostly of a humorous nature. Tic re ferred to a question that, had been fre quently asked htm. when he said ho would endeavor to explain how It came about that the association had recommended Salt Lalco for tho convention. Nelson Gives Reason. "Wo found." said Mr. Nelson, "that . veryono knew of Salt Lake. The place scorned to bo naturally popular. It need ed but the touch of a match lo the pow der of desire to take the 1913 meeting to Utah." Fred D. Kecler was called upon to add his portion to the arguments which were being piled up before the committee In an effort to show overwhelming reasons why Suit Lake should be chosen.

Genuine Praise. "Personally," ho said. "If tho laws of my slate could he changed I would be content to mako my headquarters In Salt Lko and direct the school affairs of New Mexico from this point." Continuing, he said! "Salt Lake Is an Ideal place to hold the convention, and there Is no doubt whatever that the peo ple here will find proper accommodation for all who come to attend It. "I personally think that tho conven tion here will be a bigger success than it was in Chicago, this. year. People In the big cities aro too busy to give any particular attention to It. The delegates are never mado to feel at homo, and It Is not nearly so ploasant for them In the big places. I look for the people of Salt Lake to givo tho delegates a royal re ception." Caine Pledges Aid; Joseph E. Calne for a few moments rehearsed for tho benefit of the visitors a list of the resources of the state of Utah and In conclusion assured Superin tendent Chrlstensen that he would lend his every effort to make visiting .teach ers as comfortable as any other city In tho world could. "For," he aald, "I. cannot conccivu how it would be possiblo for any com mittee to find any other my but In favor of Salt Lake after an Investigation of the possibilities of this city." J. T.
