THE EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATION AND IN
TERcoLLEGIATE CoNvENTIoS.-I-hc Educa-
tional Association of Virginia will meet in
Richmond, in the hall OF the Young Mems
Christian Association, Wednesday, July 5th,
ut s O'Clock ?. NJ, and will continue in scs-
sion during the remainder OF the week.
Besides reports on the regular subjects,
there will be reports and discussions on
the Professional Culture OF Teachers, on
European Universities, on the Prusslan
School System, on Secondary Schools, on
the Higher Education OF Women, OH Tech
nicai Education, and on LeiSh's Pronoun-
cling Orthography. Addresses will be made
by General r. NJ. Logan, DR.. Curry, and
perhaps other eminent gentlemen. The
sessions will be open to the public.
The railroads refused to reduce their fare,
but the chief Richmond hotels all reduced
their charges to members and their faml-
lies.
During the session of the Association the
Intercollegiate Convention will be held here.
The intercollegiate Convention has received
but little attention from the press, though
OF great Importance. The colleges will send
representatives to confer together rs to the
position OF the University towards them, in
view Of the legislation Of the last session Of
the General Assembly. At present they
are, rs some think, in danger Of being
crushed between the upper and neither mill
stone, as it werc-the University on the one
hand and the free schools on the other
The idea is to have the University put its
standard sufficiently high not to break up
the colleges, and to that end-which they
regard rs defensive, not aggressive-the col
leges propose to cooperate. Randolph-Ma-
con has so far declined to take part, under
the impression that the Convention means
warfare on the University. AS those who
have called the Convention declare their
friendship to the University, perhaps Ran
dolph- Macon will yet appoint delegates ana M
satisfactory understanding between the
colleges and the University be arrived at.
