PROFESSOR WRIGHT AND SPACE.
Rev. A. A. Wright of Boston University
talked about the proper methods of teach
ing, and told the conference a story OF a.
young man improperly coached who was
asked to define the word space" The speaker,
to illustrate the defective teaching of the
pupil who answered he didn't know, 'but
had it here" +" putting his hand to his head,
did the same. and the conference laughed
heartily at the joke, and more heartily
when the worthy professor from Boston
looked amazed and whispered to the bishop,
What are they laughing atF
ssThe space you say which exists in your
head, returned the bishop himself, nearly
choking with laughter.
Mrs. Clinton B. Fisk, wife of the general OF
that name and President of the Home Mis-
sionary Society, made brief appealfor help.
An adjournment was taken at noon.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The ladies monopolized the attention of
the conference this afternoon. They occu-
pied the galleries. the best seats of the
church, all the seats on the dais where the
bishop usually sits and even some sat at the
reporters table, to the delight of these gem
tlemen.
1t was the anniversary of the Woman's
Home Missionary Society and the Woman's
Foreign Missionary Society. For the former
society Mrs. Clinton B. Fisk made an elo-
quent address, and for the latter Mrs. Mary
C. Mind of Detroit delivered a stirring
begging speech for money, money, money!
Mrs Mind is near relative of Bishop
Ninde, but spells her name without the ''e."
She will accompany Bishop and Mrs. Ninde
China. They will leave this country in May
next.
