EDUCATION IN THE SOUTH,
Prominent Speakers at the Conference
in Columbia S. c.

Yesterdays session of the eighth annual
conference for education in the south was
given up to the conference of southern state
| superintendent of education, this being
one of the features of the big conference.
The most interesting feature of the morn
ing the rather impromptu symposium
in the chapel of the South Carolina College,
the speakers being President Ogden of the
conference; Seth Low, DIR. st. Clair Nickel
way and DIR. E. A. Alderman. Mr.. Ogden
said that there was a growing demand for
educated men in the business world he had
no doubt, as no work Is so well done that
1t cannot be done better. Mr.. Ogden called
special attention to what he termed the
common fallacy that modern college educa-
ton did not fit man to go into the business
world. In his opinion the fact that education
generally tended toward idealism COM
menda tory in itself. Idealsm and common
sense carried into any business in the world
would accomplish much.
Mr.. ogden was followed by Seth Low
who spoke upon the attitude which young
man should have toward the various pub
lie questions of the day. 1t is too often
the case, he said, that men form their ideas
of things, and then go to work to find the
facts which sustain those theories, ignoring
those that are not in accord with them. He
advised the young men to get first their
facts, and base their ideas upon these.
DR.. Alderman, president of the University
of Virginia. said that he had recently read
an excellent magazine article on the diff
cultieS and dangers of a college president.
Some time, he said, he wanted to write, or
get some one else to write, an article on
the pleasures of college president. He
spoke Of the type of the student in the
south, and said that he was more serious
minded than the student of other sections
of the country, spending less time riding in
automobiles. yachts and the like.
The addresses last night were by John
Z OH ri inc rir1ta r11n Of lie
Of Birmingham, Ala; Seth Low and w. H.
Hand, superintendent of schools at Chester,
S. c. The Columbia Theater was packed
and much enthusiasm was manifested, es-
pecially for the speech of Mr. Hand, who
made an argument for compulsory educa-
ton. DIR. Phillips spoke on high school
work in the public school system of the
south, and Mr.. Low on Some Phases of
Educational History in New York"

DECLARES NAVY FAR TOO SMALL.
Admiral Melville Says It Must Be In
creased Threefold.

Our present navy, which cost more than
5000. 600, 600. is not more than sufficient to
protect our home coast. For the proper
protection of our foreign possessions it
would be necessary to increase the navy
threefold."
This statement was made last night by
Rear Admiral Melville in an address be-
fore the Geographical Society Of Philadel-
phia, which was giving its annual dinner
in that city. The admiral was responding
to the toast. "The Philippines and Our For
eign Possessions"
The question is the admiral went on.
whether the American people are big and
broad and liberal enough to support a navy
costing 5000 100000.
I'VE really do not want the Philippines
for we are not land-grabbers. But the time
may come when we, 1900 miles away from
our island possessions, may find 1t difficult
to keep them. 1t would be an easy thing
to withdraw gracefully now. In the case
of the Philippines, If another nation came
along and told us to get out, our Anglo
Saxon blood would not allow us to do So
1T has fallen to-, our lot to build the
Panama canal. 1t is the greatest of en-
cheering problems today. If we are going
to hold this waterway we must have q fleet
large enough to protect both ends of it;
we must have a fleet twice as big as the
present one But 1t would be worth the
s400, 100000 to us

THE MOROCCAN SITUATION.
Excitement at Paris Affected Market
Prices-Alarmist Press

The Moroccan question is exciting re-
rewcd anxiety in Paris, despite the fact
that Premier ROuvier dined with Prince
Won Radolin, the German ambassador 10
France. at the German embassy last night,
and other external appearances of improve
ment. The unfavorable turn is due rather
to the threatening tone of some of the
newspapers which are considered to reflect
official sentiment. This is particularly true
of an article in the Matin, in which it is
said that mo matter what his power may
be. the German emperor must renounce the
hope of inhictins check upon us, even to
our self-respect. France is no longer iso-
lated as in 1870. The isolation is now on
the side of Germany"
Newspapers opposing the government cir
culated false report that the foregoing
was officially. inspired. and even asserted
that IL was a note from Foreign Minister
Dele ise. Until il was denied the report

the bourse participated, French rentes de-
clining sharply.
Later the foreign office and NJ. Rouvier
positively denied the OFFICIAL character OF
the publication, saying that no commune

This letter has been forwarded to Sir
Mortimer Durand. 1t is expected the next
letter of the ambassador on the subject
will contain an announcement of the formal
action of the British board of trade ac-

1t is quite likely that similar agree

Canadian government respecting the vessels
on the Great Lakes. 1t is probable too,
that a like arrangement may be made by
this government with Germany, France and
perhaps with other nations, but no steps
toward such agreements have yet been
taken

Mrs. Blanche Shaw, the principal witness
against former City Detective e H. Wilson
who is on trial at Pueblo, Col, for alleged
fraudulent registration, has mysteriously
disappeared; and District Attorney White
has stated that he believes the woman has
been kidnapped by persons who don't want

AS a result of the disappearance of the

Wilson alsofhgures.
IT is known that the woman was offered
$500 and ticket to Mexico to leave the

TO the district attorney she refused the
offer, but she disappeared, that night while
the police were watching her. Every effort
lis besns made TO capture the woman.
