ATTENTION BAND AND CHORAL DIRECTORS:
—Why not turn your tape recordings into handsome profits tor your band
or choral organization? 45-rpm discs or long-playing 12" discs are a sure
means of raising funds and building up interest in school musical pro-
grams. Prices for pressings are far cheaper than you may think.
The Austin Recording Company has done high fidelity custom pressing
work for Texas secondary schools for years. We have recorded band con-
tests at Prairie View and were chosen to record the proceedings at the
recent TSAT convention.
Write us for information, rates, and helpful suggestions on fund-raising
with records.

130 BASIC TYPING JOBS—by
Ruth I. Anderson and Leonard
J. Porter—contains jobs requir-
ing extensive planning and
thinking at the typewriter.
There is good balance be-
tween arranged and unarrang-
ed material. Each job is taken
from an actual business office
or has been classroom tested
in experimental typing classes.
BUSINESS DICTIONARY — by
Louis C. Nanassy and William
Selden, alphabetically lists the
most common, up-to-date
business and economic terms.
But it is more than a regular
dictionary because much of
the information is encycloped-
ic. In addition, specific guides
and helps are provided in
some cases. Usable in any
business-education or social-
studies class, it is the most
comprehensive book of its
kind for classes in accounting,
business law, and many
others.
WORD FINDER—by Ruth I. An-
derson, Lura Lynn Straub, and
E. Dana Gibson, is organized
for fast reference. This new,
handy, pocket-sized volume
contains an alphabetical list-
ing of about 15,000 words —
their spelling, accent, and syl-
labification. Definitions are
provided for homonyms and
many other words that might
be confused.

Report On
Your NEA
By F. R. RICE
YVillard E. Givens, former Executive
Secretary of the National Education
Association, stated well that ''in the
local education association is found the
gzowing edge of the organized teaching
profession, The face-to-face human re-
lationships that are the basis for im-
mediate action programs by local as-
sociations are in sum total the general-
ized problems of the teaching profes-
sion on which the state and national
associations base their programs. And
in turn, all the efforts at the state and
national levels produce their ultimate
results in local communities, and must
be interpreted and utilized by local as-
sociations to be most effective."
In this respect, the Austin Education
Association was very helpful and pro-
duced excellent results in implementing
the ideas and suggestions of State Pres-
ident J. S. Henry and Executive Secre-
tary Vernon McDaniel in planning for
the state meeting in Austin.
Much praise and commendation
should go to the educators of Austin
and vicinity for their cooperative ef-
forts in making the meeting an out-
standing and memorable occasion. Col-
leagues who provided this leadership
and direction at the local level were:
1. Travis County teachers and prin-
cipals, Mrs. T. C. Calhoun,
supervisor
2. Texas Blind, Deaf and Orphan
Institute, J. C. McAdams, super-
intendent and William McCon-
nell, principal
3. Peoples Business College, Mrs. E.
M. Gilbert, president
4. Huston-Tillotson College, Dr. J.
J. Seabrook, president
5. Austin Education Association,
Malon Allen, president
Mr. Henry expressed his sincere grat-
itude and appreciation to the above
mentioned leaders for their coopera-
tion.
