I very much appreciate the honor and the pleasure of attending
this Ninetieth Representative Assembly of the National Education
Association. It is a privilege to meet with this large representative
group of teachers and administrative officers from all sections of the
country, and to have an opportunity to discuss with you certain matters
of paramount importance not only to the members of the profession but
also to our country. Thege summer meetings have always, in my
professional lifetime at least, taken up matters of considerable
significance. But I doubt if ever before in the history of this organization
have the subjects discussed been so closely related to our destiny as
a democratic people.
It is significant that these important activities are taking
place at the time of the retirement of your Executive Secretary who has
served in this high educational position with such illustrious distinction.
To Dr. Givens I feel a real professional debt because of his under=
standing cooperating with the activities and the problems of the United
States Office of Education since I assumed the commissionership some three
and a half years ago. I also feel a deep personal respect and affection
for Willard Givens who has tione more for a fellow worker than his position
or any moral obligation required. In my attempt to deal with the
numerous perplexing problems which inevitably center in the office of the
United States Commissioner of Education he has lent a ready and willing hand.
