Conventions.


ST. LOUIS, Aug. 23.-The national education
al convention, in this city, adopted last night,
after vigorous discussions, a resolution approx
ing the efforts now in progress to unite the
courses of study in public high schools and col
leges, by the introduction of special classical
courses on the part of schools, and modifying,
without lower requirements, the admission on
the part of colleges, and heartily endorsing the
efforts to supply any temporary or permanent
deficiency in classical instruction furnished in
the public schools or academies specially de-
voted to studies required in preparation for
college.
j, z. Wickerham, of Pennsylvania, delivered
an address to the effect that a national compul-
sorry system of education is impracticable and
unAmerican, in which he reviewed the bill in
troduced during the'last session of congress by
Mr.. Hoar, of Massachusetts, and opposed the
measure, on the ground that the establishment
OF such a system is in opposition to the practice
OF the national government, in opposition to the
views of the founders of the republic, and of
the leading statesmen of the nation.

be easily overcome.
