The attendance was large, brilliant, and the audience moved easily to en thusiasm as It listened to the pane gyric* spoken of education In the South—Its struggles, achievements and future promises. This new phenix city of the South has opened welcoming arms broadly to her distinguished pedagogic guents —both those of the Southern and the state associations. The spirit of prog ress ond hospitality manifested on ail sides will make for a most successful series of symposiums on the great and vital problem of educational advance ment In Dixie. Notable Declarations. The address by President Lynch, of ths Florida State Teachers* Associa tion, was pointed and shockingly prac tical .upon mine r.ubjecta affecting school methods In the South. Presi dent Lynch showed the r.trong perve man sure of his observations and fixed In his convictions an to the needs and errors of educnt'onal things as they present themselves. His cogent and well-reasoned de nunciation of the overloaded courses :,t study in our Bouthern common hools drew forth the first hearty ap plause of the evening, lie voiced a feeling that seldom gets expression nowadays, but that Is very prevalent among the rank and file of laymen whose children fill the public schools. They believe, ns he argued, that a 4mntterlng of a score of study-sub jects, under the futile guidance of eachers themselves not able to under stand the thlnga they are act to teach, is an educational malfeasance toward ll*e mass of pupils who can never hopo to go beyond the grammar schools at nest. Ife Insisted that sane and safe education In the South In the popular schools should, for the present and near future, nt least, be rigidly reduced to the fundamental studies of a pri mary English course. An Unpardonablo Waste, Such a scheme—embracing spelling, ending, writing, arithmetic, history »nd geography—would meet every tenslble demand of the growing gen (ration, fulfill the measure of state lull*, expend the peoples money for the real purpose for which they swent t out In faxes and make It possible o get n full complement of teachers equipped with such simple profl- iencles. President Lynch was cape dally emphat'c In criticism of the fsddlstle forms of manual training, so-called, that has been Imposed to no practical benefit upon many of public school systems. They Irivolvo waatifte of money, a mummery of In- atruclon and a final disappointment to expectations of both parents and Wn«. * At*.

Chancellor Hill's Ad dross. The address of Chancellor Walter B. Hill, chancellor of the University of Georgia and president of the H. like nil deliverances made by him. was a deliberate and strongly-phrased ar gument—this time In the shape of continued plea for national aid In tho leveling up of educational' facilities In nil sections of the nntios. That pater nallatlc governmental co-operation would most largely afTect and benefit the South, nt first. And It Is the grounded opinion of Chancellor llill that the nation owes this much to tho section whose educational problem! nre so largely the nftermnth of na tloiuiI enterprises and Interferences In the past, such as the abolition of slavery and Its consequences projected upon our civilization even to the pres •nt hour. Ill his view the good vork com menced In the Morrill bill ol 18*3. and Its after amendments, can row be ex tended. under conditions thnt will not offend state's rights aeiitlmeits, to the great advantage of uniform and Indus trial education through tho higher In stitutlone, and to the rich profit of the Kouth and hence to the nation at large. Stimulating Reports. Today has been given up largely to the henring of official reports both of the officers of the association and from the state superintendents of the vari ous Bouthern states, detailing In each of the latter the especial points of pro gress during the put year In each state. The principal feature of the Utter report* was the news of growing pop ular devotion to public school mainte nance. This Is Indicated by well-di rected efforts In nearly every Bouthern legislative assembly to devise ways to Increase the funds for the public edu cation. The means employed to this end nre various. Including direct tax levies, local taxation. Increased and newly devised license and franchise fees, and bond issuer, by local corpora tion*. The significant conclusion from these reports Is that there Arc amp! re sources In the South. If honest meth ods of tax returns could he established, to supply every state with wholly ade quate Binds to operate perfect sys tem* of primary schools. But how to get such an equitable tax system tn operation Is yet the supreme unsolved problem of BoutShrrit statesmanship. Compulsory Education. This subject Is one that we people of the Bouth. considering our sparsely distributed populations and often pre- ♦ | ponderatlng negro cohttngents. have X i agreed In the pa*.t Is an Impossible de- 4 slderatutn. ^Uut the paper by President T Andrew Stedd. formerly of Emory col- X lege.

Until the youth 4 of the South is compelled to take the J cdu< *tlo» Available to It. and mad' ♦ i available by the decision of the state that it should Itself supply the *an we wn never have south of the Pot mac and Ohio that popular edooatk which will emphasize democracy and lasses of “our population pnalk and potential In the enter- f material Intellectual independence. Xt is, anyhow. ern state university president should thrust himself forward a* an earnest apostle of the ultlmata'and radical cure present burden of Illiteracy. Schools vs. Lawlessness. Dr. James A. B. gherer, president of Newberry College. Bouth Coral I na. dis cussed the capital subject of “The School as a Check, upon Lawlessness."' The theme la one of large psychologl- :al Importance to both the construc tors nmJ operators of school systems. The relation between Ignorance and crime Is statistically so Intimate that civilization cannot proceed evenly without strict attention to the curbing, correcting and controlling influences of school discipline. By It more effective ly than by any other generally applica ble agency can Impulsive lawlessness he supplemented b7 compelling notions of order, obedience and honesty or con duct. There are thong who have actual contact with criminal correction In the Bouth .who do not believe that school influences have a visibly repressive ef fect upon certain classes of our popu lations—particularly the remotely ru ral whites and the negroes almost gen erally. But statistics are. vain and the logic of national experiences foj* n hun dred years defective altogether If the contentions of Dr. Hherer are -not val- The Southern mates need \ln en couraging arguments and will profit Immensely by seeking to realize his conclusions. Industrial Education, lion. Peter W. Meldrlm. of Savan nah, the chairman of tho Georgia State Industrial College in his home city, do llvorod the first address tonight on Industrial Education/' Col. Meldrlm, graduate nnd trustee of the State is not too much Southern man thinks of political quo? (Ions or governmental duty carries no j weight in their final settlement! ; j “There must be a cause underlying this fact. What Is it? How shot! it i be remedied? Until 1SG5 the Southern f states, while democratic In govern* I mental form, were In fact an Arlsto- | cracy, and out of this aristocracy they i chose, as artoscrucies ever do, their | best men for public service. The I wisest, the strongest, the most learn ed were ever to the front—they were the natural leaders of a bravo and generous people who followed their leadership with pride nnd pleasure. ,| “With tho close of the war tho dem ocracy arose and each man become a factor In the government of Ills coun try. Leadership was nol ro able or cul tured. More blunders were committed and more unwise views propagate! and believed In. Aristocracy was al ways trained! Democracy. If It i3 to be as effective, must likewise be trained!" From these premises Gov. Aycock argued for the cultivation of our own Southern traits, traditions and tem peraments, ns no people ever become great by abandoning their peculiar In dividuality. He urged that we must lay aside vainglory and get down to an honest Inventor? of all the things we really have and are! Said he: “We have had our Hilts, our La mars. our Becks, our Vests, our Vangfs and our Hamptons, products of tne period before the war; but no man can today go .through the South and lay his hand on the head of any single youth and say that here is a Lamar, this is the time—you’ll never neecT.ifc worse— IT’S THE TIME to get one, when you need-it—when you can get one much under the real value. We Have Some We will sell under the price and if your size is here, you can save monoy, and probably a doctor’s bill. BY THE ITnlvrr.lly, n lawyer nt eminence an,I a .here la a Vance, or n Vert or a III1I, n publicist of pr/icllral wisdom, has shown conspicuously In Georgia as a Bouthern lender who Is neither nfrnld shamed to lay hold upon tho Im perative problem of on effluent Indus trial education for our colored youth. He In worthy to he written down at the head of the list of the philanthropic nnd pacific patriots of the stnte and the Bouth lit thin crucial era, of our sec tion's agonies of Advancement. His hns been heretofore looked upon ns a questionable. If not perilous, sort of heroism, but for the ronnecrntlon nnd chivalry with which he has borne his unrequitable task, I honor him -above almost any other Georgian of my ac quaintance. Ills address was sound. Illuminating nnd statesmanlike; a sufficient Justifi cation of the state's undertaking In be half of Its Inferior citizens, nnd car ried a prophecy of a possible and peaceful solution of the future labor problems of the Bouth. Ho was heard with Intense Intercat and sympathy with his views. ’ Education of tho Masses. Governor Charles B. Aycock, whose term ns chief magistrate of North Car olina Is about to expife, was tho chief nnd Inst speaker of the evening. During his governorship of the Tar heel commonwealth Governor Aycock has become one of the most prominent nnd popular personages In the educa tional assemblies of the nation. Whether at home, or In Mnmtnchuselts. In Minnesota, In New Orleans. In At lanta. or at the World's Fair be has Hood forth ns the foremost Bouthern champion of a strenuous public school policy In the Bouth for whites and blacks alike. When one looks upon this strong man nnd Into his honest luminous eyes, and hears his vibrant voice sounding always a charge upon the agencies of Ignorance, Indifference nnd reactionary prejudices, the looker feels like kow towing to a princely patriot. Governor Aycock Is no visionary—no grand stand orator. He speaks from n clean conscience nnd validated convictions of what Is the true leaven by which the whole mass of Bouthern life Is to be enlightened, enlarged and made whole some for all future tlmd*. Ills subject was “The Education of the Masses'’ and he spoke, In part, ns follows: Governor Aycook't Speech. “The late Henator Hoar in on Ad dress which he delivered at Charleston a few yearn ago used this language " 'The American people havo learned to know an never before the quality of the Bouthern stock; to value lb noble contribution to the Americans character; It* courage In war, it* nt- tachim nt to home and state; its love of moral life. Its capacity for great af fection nnd generous emotions; it* aptness for command; above all. this- constancy, that virtue above all vir tues, without which no people can be cither great or free. After all the fruit of this vine l* a flower not to be found In oth^r gardens. In the great nnd magnificent future which Is before our country, nnd nre to constitute a large measure both of strength aud beauty!* When we read this tplendld tribute to the South all our hearts swelled tth pride nnd wore glad. We re joiced to find appreciation at the North and a 'rarely beautiful expres sion of it ns to our real character. The prediction that a great and magnifi cent future for our country was to be bused In large part on the strength and beauty of the Bouth brought to all Bouthern people a distinct pleasure. The question now arises among us. however, as to whether, despite this prediction, we havs any large part in the life of this nation, and if not. bow we ran secure and make good our Hampton or a Reck! It is the busi ness of our schools to find for us such children nnd dovelop them In to such great leaders." He declared that nil the people should be educated in order that com- petlton should give incentive to great mbltlons and great deeds. This would demand great labors nnd grout costs, but we must be ready to pay the price. “When the war between the states closed and the Incomparable leaders of the Bouthern armies cast about to find the work which he ought to do, he became a teacher! He realized that the South could only be made great, powerful nnd controlling through the school house and be devoted the last years of his life to these high pur poses of teaching the generation that ould succeed his own!” Tomorrow (Snturdny) many Im portant papers and discussions will be heard nnd nt night the two Important nnd concluding addresses will be de livered by Hon. Dupont Guery on “The Education of Women In the South." nnd by Dr. Edgar Gardner Murphy, general reeretnry of tho Bouthern Education Board. New York, on th<' scope and present operations of that body. There are over 300 eminent Bouth ern educators present tn the conven tlon. Many are nccompenled by wives and other members of the families. While the weather Is not Just tropical the enthusiasm of the delegates is *o, and they win go hence more Inspired than ever for the high and almost 'holy tanks tn which they have set their talents nnd their seal.
