M., in the Municipal Auditorium, Savannah. A temporary ! presiding officer will be chosen at an , executive committee meeting to be , held well in advance of the gather- | ing. A meeting program will also be adopted, resolutions of organization proceedure drawn up and a platform of work suggested. Gordon Saussy, of Savannah is chairman of the Execu¬ tive Committee. Other members in¬ clude C. G. Beck, M. O. Dunning, F. A. Wilson-Lawrenson, John C. Sphen, of Atlanta and W. G. Sutlive and R. L. Cooper of Savannah. An entertainment feature calculat e( j to make the Savannah one-day ^ gathering worthwhile attending is RAH FOR THE SPELLERS Nine spelling champions from the schools of eight states journeyed to Washington before the president went on his vacation, to compete for final honors and receive special no tice from the head of the nation. They were the final winners after a spell ing contest in which 2,000,000 school children competed. It ought to give considerable satis faction to the advocates of the Little Red Sehoolhouse and the Three Rs type of education, to learn that 2, 000,000 school children have been contesting for these honors. The com mon idea has been that the schools did not pay proper to spelling, and there have been plaints that school and college uates can’t spell. The probabilities are that the av¬ erage child can spell just as well as ever, but the critics were no doubt first class spellers who used to stand carnival which is scheduled for July 1£*, 17 and 18th. It is expected that hundreds of the Georgians attending the State conference will remain over for the carnival.
