NOW5IN. THE q QUAKER CITY.
Meeting of the American Historical
Association in philadelphia.

IT, 5=y- : s ;
PHILADELPHIA. December 2o.-(spe-
cial.)-The meeting of; the American His
torical. Associati On,. now in progress here,
though attended thus: far by only two Vir-
ginians, ought to be of interest to the
people of $ the Old Donainion-the State
which, next to Massa chusetts did most in
laying the foundations of our great re-
public. Some 400 teachers and students OF
history. representing colleges and univer-
sites from Maine to California. are gath
cred here to study and exchange ideas.
The men present rank among. the fore
most In the country-Hare, Of Harvard:
Jameson. Of Chicago; aDunning, of Column
bia: Herbert Putnam, our great librarian
Of Congress; and Pennsylvania two IA
famous historians. Lea and McMaster. are
all:here. With such men to meet with and
talk to. no one can fail to become enthus-
iastic in the study OF our nations past
career.
1t has been said repeatedly that the
American cares nothing for the past.
though he seeks Ifrantically to establish
his pedigree som etimes by it's study; his
interests in the future in all vital things.
This is true in part; but we are changing.
Students of.the first Importance are be-
ginning to study history closely, and with
scientific accuracy; they tell us that a
knowledge of the past is worth as much
:lQtfLHe EQdIlONSOu we an are III
some sway).S as the so much Wanted ap-
preciation Of the beauties of ancient liter
atures: Some of our time-in college life
and out-naust be- given to history, even
if hesclassics have to suffer little. Every
meeting S'of this great association empha-
sizes 5afresh this idea. Our pedigree hunt
ing and our genteel; and leisurely study
must cease. to be the principal gateways
to the past. We must know something.
even much, of the life and death Struggles
whose issue has been our making, anu
our own State and THE South In general
| have as much to dosas any.
| The apersa OF. especial interest already
| discussed and read are: The American
| Of. i 7I6.' = Letters from the Federal Con-
ventlon of 1857 and THE Art OF Weav-
ing and It's Influence on Civilization
The last .papersis' Of particular significance
in showing how practical is the study of
history The homely art Of matchmaking
has had much to do with the building of
nations.
sPhilad elphia is an ideal meeting place
for: historical scholars; Its old landmarks
cali to- mind many a scene Of the days
that are gone The Quaker City provoked
our South ancest ors many and many a
time; but mostly insthe interest OF human
! progress, and so we forgive her
! New Orleans will be the next meeting
ground. The South Is to be given charge.
Let everybody attend
