Durt-ig the convention Holland
win ouor an amendment to tne
constitution of the state organlaa-
t'on. In which he urges changes
wheroby every member may have
a vote regardless of whether
he Is
In attendance at the convention.
In framing his ausg'etrtion Hol-
land declared "I am asking thut
your committee consider changing
the conatltuuon of the Texas Stata
Teachers Association that ovary
members may have a vote that will
count.
"No Arguments."
"The only way to vote on any
sort of a question Is to attend an
annual meeting. There will never
bo held an annual met ting that w.ll
bo accessible to more than a small
minority of Q ' nembership of the
Association. The effect of this fuct
wtil always be that the place of
tha meeting Itself totally disfran-
chises the rank and file front vot-
ings ''Now it can be said that with
membership In the association the
Texas Outlook will be received. The
angaciatlon ought to get lUi constl-
tution so changed that every mem -
tier may vote for (a) officers
president members of the executive!
committea and perhaps others and
upon (b) changes in the constitu-
tion. "While I have been making up
my mind to submit this proposal I
have endeavored to realize tho ar-
guments offered to the contrary.
So far I have not been able to eff-
et the argument that every mem-
ber Is entitled to n voice In the
election of officers and :n amend-
ments to the constitution and that
'the present arrangement will al-
ways disfranchise a heaped-up and
running over majority of our mem-
bership." John F. Bailey principal of the
