THE SOUTHERN EDUCATIONAL CONFERENCE.

THE EDUCATIONAL
The Editor of The Progressive Farmer spent
three days last week in the city of Birmingham,
Ala, attending the Southern Educational Con
ference. We have not found time since our re-
turn to Raleigh to write our impressions of the
meeting or of the country through which we
passed in going to Birmingham. In our next
issue we may present a short, gossipy letter COW
ering these subjects. Meanwhil it may be said
that the Conference was a great gathering of
earnest educators and public men of the South
and the North to discuss the educational situa-
ton in the Cotton States and that it was marked
by a spirit of rare good feeling and enthusiasm.
Especially notable at every session of this Con-
ference is the awakening of the Northern visitors
to the justice and generosity of The Southern
white man in dealing with the negro and their
recognition of the fact that the. white South can
be trusted to work out its own problems in its own
way. AS more than one Northern visitor express
ed it, the education they received by frst-hand IN
s~pection of Southern affairs is about the most
helpful feature of the meetings. The South has
no more influential friends in the North than Al
bert Shaw, Lyman Abbott, and others who have
broadened their vision by attending these Confer
ences. And of course, the Southern members
also get a broader outlook by coming in contact
with strong, broad-minded men of the North.
The addresses at the Birmingham meeting were
of a remarkably high order. Bishop Galloway's
eloquent Interpretation of the South's attitude
toward the negro took the Conference by storm.
DIR. @. Alphonso Smith, of the University of
North Carolina, added to his reputation as an
orator by his magnificent handling of the subject,
"The Practical and the Literary in National
Life" DR.. Walter FL. Page, of New York, made,
in his usual severely practical style, a strong adj
dress on "The Profit of Good Training" Other
addresses of unusual value were made by DR..
Charles w. Dabney, Bishop David Sessums, and
DR.. S. c.. Mitchell.
The next session of the Conference will proba-
bly, be held in Columbia, S. c.. The following Off
GERS were elected for the ensuing year:
General O~ficers-Rober @. Ogden, of New
York, President; Edgar Gardner Murphy, of Ala
bama, Vice-President B. J. Baldwin, of Alabama,
Secretary; William A. Blair, of North Carolina,
Treasurer.
Executive Committees T. Houston, Texas;
G. P. Glenn, Florida; Clarence H.. Poe, North
Carolina; B. G. Caldwell, Louisiana; @. B. Glib
son, Georgia; R.. III. Jesse, Missouri; S. A. Myn-
ders, Tennessee; D. B. Johnson, South Carolina.

We have just received the initial number of a
series of Mature Study Leaflets" to be issued by
the Agricultural Department of the University
OF Georgia under the direction of Prof. J. M.
Johnson. These leaflets a. for the use of the
public school children of the State, and we sin
cerely regret that we have nothing of the kind
tor our North Carolina children. These leaflets
would 90 much to pave the way for proper use of
agriculture for Beginners by older pupils.

Not the least notable feature of educational
progress in North Carolina is the constantly in
creasing attention to the higher education of
girls. II think that there are more young women
attending new North Carolina boarding schools
and colleges established since 1890" writes DR..
@. D. McIver in a personal letter to the editor.
ethan there we're in all the boarding schools es-
tablished before that time, and this is a net gain
because the old Institutions are holding their own
in numbers. Then, too, the standard of scholar
ship has been raised. Our College at Greensboro
confers degrees CA. B. and B.. S. equivalent in
work and scholarship requirements to those con-
ferred at the University"
