MIR. W. b. Rhodes, County Su-
perintendent of Jones county, open
ed the Assembly with religious ex-
ercises.
Capt. G. B. benson, chairman
Committee on Reform School, pre-
sented the report of the committee
He made and eloquent and touch
ing plea for the hearty support of
the teachers in this great undertak-
ing Of the Assembly. He told NIL
nutely of the steps the committee
had taken in the matter, and the AS
semhly by resolution endorsed the
report and continued the commit
tee.
President Blair then resigned the
chair to DR.. J. B. Shesrer, President
of the College Association.
President Crowell, of Trinity, was
introduced, and made most schol-
arly and methodical address on the
subject of College Education. What
Is 1t? This question he answered
by stating that it is process of per-
sonal development in the transition
| from youth to manhood (or woman
| hood) under favorable institutional
arrangements, having in view both
] the individual and the socisl re-
sponsibilities Of after life. The
subject he divided into four parts:
| l. The Period. 2. The Process.
8. The Conditions. 4. The Aim or
i. Purpose.
i Under these heads he presented
a sound argument showing the scope
and plan of college work, direct and
: implied.
, At night DR.. G. R. Harding Of
r Davidson College read a most de-
lightful paper on sappho. The
| subject was treated in a pleasin g
> way, 8 vein of humor running
through it and it's delivery was fre-
quently interrupted by the applause
and laughter of his hearers. The
paper showed the marvellous emf
nence reached by Sappo that she
r should have been known to the al.
D cients as the 10th Muse and the
: poetess just as Homer was known
L as the poet. Her unique position
;. as the Greek principal of young
n ladies school in the centuries gone
was emphasized and an inquiry
q course of study for these 81,
@ girls, humorously described mum
O Der of beautiful fragments of th'
: poetess's verse were quoted ant
! pleasantly compared with the love
a sic and airy verse Of the poetaste1
,- Of today.
Ia DR.. J. B. Shearer made the CLOSING
| talk of the day on the value of
q. College Education. AS only thi
3 gentleman can do he held the un
Al divided attention of his audience a
he cited advantage after advantage
which the college man has over on
not enjoying these advantages.
