 In reference to the party to be brought to Alabama by MT. Robert c. ogden, Mir. Murphy said:
 "It is altogether likely that Mir. Ogden will bring to Alabama this year the larg- est party he has thus far brought into
 the South. His special train will proba- bly, enter the State over the Western Railroad and after brief stop at Tuske- gee, the train will run to Troy where the visitors will have an opportunity to see
 our State Normal School at that point.
 The General Education Board, of which MT. Ogden Is a member, has recently contributed $5,000 toward a new building at the Troy Normal, and there is nat
 urally much interest in seeing the results
 which the Board has helped to secure
 The invitations from Mayor Henderson and President Shackeiford were among the first received. Troy will probably be reached on the afternoon of the '23rd of April The train will not be run upon the 24th, that being Sunday, and it will prob ably be side-tracked at Calhoun. On Monday, the 18th, the train will be run to Tuscaloosa.
 "At Tuscaloosa MT. Ogden and his guests wish to visit the University of Alabama, The institution has played a conspicuous part in the educational his tory of the State and the administration of President Abercrombie Is relating 1t still more closely and helpfully to the public school interests of our people The Summer School at the University, for the teachers of Alabama, is attracting much interest everywhere.
 "On the afternoon of April 25 MT. Og- den's train will reach MontevaIlo where a visit will be paid to the Industrial School for Girls regard this institu- ton as one of the noblest and most prom ising in the South and I am particularly glad MT. ogden and his friends are to visit it.
 During the night of the 18th the train will run to Florence, arriving there early on the morning of the 18th. President Wilson is one of the rare men among our Southern leaders in Normal work and it Is satisfaction to learn that our visi- tors are to have an opportunity to know him and to see something of his labors.
 "There are in Alabama many other points of educational interest and i'm. portance, many other educational insti- tutions which Mir. Ogden would like to visit while in the State But it is ob- viously impossible to go to all. Indeed, he Is visiting more points in Alabama than he has ever visited in any other Southern State. He has wanted to man. tfest as generally as possible his appre- citation of the work which Alabama Is do- ing and he wishes his party Of friends to see. the generous provisions which Ala bama is making for its young people.
 ''FIis train will probably leave Florence about 10:30 a. m. for it's run to Birming- ham where the Conference will be for inally opened fin the Jefferson Theatre on the evening of the 18th at o'clock.
