EDUCATION IN SOUTH,
The Third Annual Conference Re-
garding That Subject Now ON.

Capon Springs, w. Va, June 2S.-The
third annual conference on southern edu-
cation, which has just begun here, prom
ises results of great value. The objects
of the conference as stated by its presi-
dent, Dr. J. L. NJ. Curry of Washing
ton, are several
First in relative Importance is the eff
fort to ascertain such facts with respect
to southern education, both public and
private, as will make more clear what
methods and agencies are to be encour-
aged and what to be avoided or REFORM
ed in order to secure greater harmony
and a more efficient concentration of eff
fort in all educational work. To this end
Rev. DR.. George S. Deckerman of New
Haven was appointed by last years con-
ference as its agent, and the principal
paper of the session was that in which
DR.. Deckerman presented the results of
his years investigation of southern edu-
cational problems. He made many per-
sonal visits to schools in Virginia, the
Carolinas, Georgia and Alabama.
After describing the sympathy with
which the aims of the conference are re-
garded throughout the south DIR. Decker
man said: Educational conditions in the
south are changing and changing so fast
that it is difficult to keep up with them.
Conditions today are not what they were
in 1890 or in 1895. Their transformation
has meant much in the work of educa-
tion.
''The problem of saving the hamlet
holds our attention most when we think
of education in the south. There are
hardly dozen cities in this whole sec
tion with $4,000 or more people in them,
and their combined population is less
than that Of Philadelphia. Yet the area
of the southern states this side of the
Mississippi is far greater than that of the
northern states"
Dr. Deckerman pointed out that popu-
lation was very evenly distributed over
the south and that the people are native
Americans, having traditions and Gus
toms which have come down from their
fathers. 'What is to be done for the
children of these native Americans?'
continued DIR. Deckerman. "They must
be given schools which fit their conditions
of life, and the schools must be developed
on the ground. One of the chief difficult
ties to this end is the corruption in the
school system. The school boards, small
as they are, offer temptation to the un-
worthy, and sometimes appointments are
sold for SO much cash."

Vancouver, B. G., June 2S.-General
Stahl of the imperial German army, who
has been investigating conditions in the
orient under a special commission from
the German government, has arrived here
on his way home. On being asked if he
thought the Boxers would be quickly
suppressed he said that, in his opinion,
the powers had started in upon long,
bloody conflict. In the end the Boxers
will be disbanded, he said, but the sac
rifce of life will be appalling. for the
movement is spreading like wildfre. The
southern Boxers will, he says, join the
north, and vast mobs of fanatics will
have to be contended with. Enormous
quantities Of arms are being constantly
smuggled to them, and owing to the vast
territory covered they can for some time
defy the whole world.
