TH IRTY-FOUR years ago this summer, a group of 11 persons gathered in New York City and organized this Council. It was 20 years ago that I attended my first annual meeting of the International Council for Exceptional Children. The occasion was somewhat different from this, the 34th meeting. This audience tonight is three to four times as large. Twenty years ago there were only four or five teacher education institutions represented. Tonight I assume there are at least 4.0. A half-dozen states were represented through their departments of public instruction. I'm certain that at least two-thirds of our states will be represented at this meeting. Many of the teachers 20 years ago had little background of specialized preparation. This audience is made up primarily of teachers who hold special credentials, special certificates, master's degrees; and I am sure I can count 50 persons with doctor's degrees in this audience. You are the best trained, the wisest, the best collection of leaders in special education that can be assembled today. During the life of the Council we have witnessed the development of our extensive state programs. While there were fragments of state programs earlier, it wasn't until the 20's that full scale statewide services became established in what we now consider our "older" states. I want to discuss some of the problems related to special day school classes, as they are a part of our state programs.
