In response to toast at the annual
meeting Of the New England Society OF
Charleston, s. c., Professor Woodward,
of the State University of South Caro-
lima, said a number Of very good
things in regard to the relation Of the
state university to the educational
system OF a state, which apply not
only to South Carolina, but to every
state In the union. The following ex-
tract from Professor Woodward's adj
dress is especially pertinent TO Wis
consin at the present time;
IT is fallacy 70 compare the edu-
cational system to d structure, with
the common schools as foundation and
the university as the eapstone. His
tory and reason alike prove that, In
the order Of time, and in the logical
order as we'll, the college and the uni
versity come first; that the university
is the mudsill or every educational
system, and the perfected common
school Its capstone and final. In
truth the architectural analogy fails

The eighth ami last volume Of john
sons Universal Cyclopaedia, of which
President Adams of the University ef
Wisconsin has been Edltor-in-Chief, is
at last published. The larger part Of
the presidents work on this cyclo-
paedia, including that of appointing
the thirty-six associate editors and as
signing the various subjects 10 them,
was completed before he came to the
University Of Wisconsin. His work on
the cyclcpaedia during the past three
years has been, for the most part,
limited to the writing Of such articles
as he reserved for himself, and TO the
giving OF general directions TO the
force of editors in New York.

tion and not for entertainment. The
University of Wisconsin LAS on its

same time, but the person who at

If he attends with this purpose he will
inevitably find not only instruction
but the highest order of entertainment

sonal letter we recently received from
a lady in Milwaukee, whose exper-
fence Is doubtless that OF many others.
The course of University Extension
lectures referred to was by DR.. Frank
G. Sharp, of the University OF Wiscon-

TALKED AGAINST THE WOMEN.
Stout Opposition to Admission as
Methodist Conference Delegates.


Cleveland, Ohio, May THE debate on
the woman question at the Methodist con-
ference was again heated, but no decision
was rea Ched.
Rev. DR.. Reed. of New York, last spoke
against the admission OF the four women
delegates. although he said he favored
the admission of women by constitutional
means.
The adoption of the majority report
would diSCredit this conference before the
whole United States. he said. ITO seat
these women would be TO wrong great
portion OF the general conference and OF
the Methodist Church. There is no hurry
about the matter. Let US refuse to admit
these four delegates and refer the whole
matter to the annual conferences
Rev DR.. j. NJ. King, OF New YORK. said:
"The mere fact that the general con-
ference has submitted this question to the
annual conference two times is proof con-
elusive that the previous general confer
ences have regarded this question as n
legislative one. and not question over
which this body has exclusive juriSdic-
ton"
The Rev. c. B. Mason, of Savannah, said:
For years l voted for the women and am
heartily In favor of giving her the right OF
church suffrage by constitutional means,
but | do not think 1t wise to bring the
woman in by judicial Interpretation OF
the constitution
Rev. DR.. Frank Bristol, of Chicag go, in
brilliant speech, moved to recommit both
majority and minority reports with in
structions to bring in report submitting
the question TO the annual conferences.
Rev. DR.. Buckley wanted the committee
to haze enlarged powers so that they N ight
report what they desired.
Several speeches were made in favor of

on the part of the delegates the previous
question was ordered. The two reports

DIR. ATKINSON STILL SECRETARY.
Venerable Pin ysicinn Not Displaced by
American Medical Association.

Atlanta, Ga, May THE feature of
the American Medical Associations pro
rccdings yesterday was the fight made
OH the venerable secretary, DR.. A tkinson,
who has been in charge OF the records of
the association for the last thirty years.
Quite an opposition had developed, but
he won and will hold his place for an
other year at least.
The special for the morning was the
question as TO whether or not Dr. William
B. Atkinson, the secretary of the asso-
cia,ion, should be deposed and a younger
and more active man put in his place.
Last year a resolution was introduced that
there be a change in the constitution of the
association SO that the secretary should
be elected annually. 1t was necessary,
under the rules, that this motion should be
laid over until the next annual meeting
and that it should take its place on the
program that was to be published before
the meeting. This is what was not done,
as no mention Of the resolution to change
the constitution was made in the pub
lished program.
DR.. /. N Love of ST. Louis, who intro
duced the resolution last year, called up
the matter, stating that the resolution
had not been placed on the program. He
now asked that the resolution be read
a second time and be placed on its pas
sage, as he thought the constitution should
be changed before the report 70 the nomi-
mating committee was made. The nomi-
mating committee, consisting OF member
from each State in the Union, he said, felt
that the secretary of the association should
be younger and a more vigorous man.
DR.. Isaac Quimby of New jersey moved
that the whole matter be laid on the table,
and after some delay vote was taken
and the resolution was laid on the table.
AS soon as this was done DR.. Love arose
In an excited manner and said:
"Mr. President, move that we declare
that this association cannot change its
secretary"
There were cries of "Shame, shamer'
from different parts Of the hall, and the
president refused to put the motion.
