New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-05-24
THE EDUCATIONAL CONVENTION
The OrRanization.

The Organization.
The convention was called to order by E.
S. Stoddard, superintendent of the second
division, in the nomination of T. B. Stamps
to the post Of temporary chairman, who
took his seat with no speech making.
The Rev. Mr.. Reid opened the proceed
ings with prayer, and Immediately on its
conclusion the customary committee on
credentials and committee on permanent
organization were appointed, Mr. j. B. Car
ter being chairman of the latter, and E. S.
Stoddard second division superintendent,
of the former.
The name of Mr. Burch produced some
discussion, Mr.. Underwood asking, in an
astOnished manner, "Is MIR. Burch men,
Der of this convention? If So when was he
qualified ?'
The bomb was picked up by Mr.. Thomas
w. Conway, who answered Mr.. Burch was
appointed a member of the board of direc-
tors from East Baton Rouge, and had not
yet resigned. 1t was also suggested that a
disqualified member on a committee of
credentials was not exactly the correct
thing. The motion was made, the recess
taken, and the committee retired to con-
suit over their credentials. In the mean
time the people within the building retired
in groups, and talked over the situation of
educational interests in the country with
great pertinacity. In such conversation
politics and the disabilities of men,
bers of the body formed no small
share, besides illusions to text
books, references to the best method of
managing the young idea, and properly
teaching it to shoot, not to speak Of con-
versation and school gossip from each of
the neighborhood represented on the occa-
sion.
The convention was called to order in
about an hour, and the names of the fol
lowing delegates were reported as the con-
structiOn of the body:
