NEA elects Catharine Barrett as head with aim for political power
In Atlantic City Catharine Barrett of Syracuse takes over as president of the National Education Association, citing raw political power as essential to meet all children's education needs. She aims to rally teachers in 42 states and push for legislation to have the federal government cover at least one third of education costs by 1976. Barrett notes Nixon opposition to education and outlines two top priorities: mobilize teachers politically and secure funding growth.
