Two Thousand Teachers Assem-
BILE at Charleston, s. G.
Annual Convention of the Ma
tiOnal Association.
ADDRESS OF WELCOME
BY Prominent Citizens of the
Palmetto State.
DR.. Harper Reports Against a
National University.

Charleston. S. c., July 10.-The Ma
tional Educational association was well
coined to Charleston this afternoon at
the opening session of the annual con-
vention. Nearly 1000 delegates were
present in the auditorium when the as
semblage was called to order by w. H.
Welsh, chairman of the local executive
committee Addresses of welcome were
made by Mr.. McSweeney, John X Nc
Mahon, state superintendent of public
instruction and J. Adger Smith.
Responses for the educators were
made by DR.. E. Dram Lyte of Millers-
vile, Pa, ]. w. Carr of Anderson, Ind,
and F. A. Foshay of Los Angeles The
address of the president was delivered
by the incumbent, Prof. o. I. Corson of
Columbus, Q.
DR. William r. Harper, president of
the University of Chicago, was the prin-
cipa1 speaker at today's session of the
national council of education, which is
being held in Charleston, in conjunction
with the National Educators cOnVen-
ton. DR.. Harper made a personal report
as chairman of the committee on a ma
tional university. The report recon-
mended that such university be not
eSta bliShed. He believed that a mus
cum of a national character should be
placed in Washington, as there were
many splendid Institutions there, any
one of which would form a splendid
nucleus for such a school
The delegates seemed of the opinion
that an institution of this kind would
be used to foster certain colleges while
other institutions of learning would de-
rive no benefit. DR.. Harper's report was
received by the delegates but a resolu-
tion was adopted continuing the COM
mittee, recommending that further re-
search and investigation be made.
Three names have been mentioned for
president-Prof ]. A. Foshay, Superin-
tendent of city schools, Los Angeles;
Colonel Francis w Parker, president
Chicago institute, and Mr.. S. c. Greene
of New Jersey.
