The eyangelistic committee of the
Presbyterian church meets at Winona
August % to formulate plans for the
coming winter, and number of the
committeeman have been there for
some days discussing methods which

ent for the conference, and is devel
oping plans for extensive work

cities of the SOUTH where he will call
conferences of pastors from various
Presbyteries and give these southern
workers ideas of evangelistic methods
which are hereafter to prevail in the
whole denomination. The conferences
to be held in the south are being ar
ranged at the invitation of the form
er Cumberland people. Each confer
ence will continue for three days, and
the series viii continue until winter.

The poem was written when Mr.
Gillian was doing daily newspaper
work as city editor of the Richmond

story had any foundation in fact, Mr.
Gillian vigorously denies. The jim
gle kept chasing itself through his
head until he was compelled in self
defense, to writ it, and get it out of
his system
1t might also be added to the above
that this poem was written one night

NEED FOR SPECIAL WORK
STATE SCHOOL MANUAL
MANUAL
Spelling, Writing and Reading Need
TO be Drummed Into the Thinking
Apparatus of the Pupii-The New
Era System of Slant Writing Now
In Vogue.

Richmond has received copies of
the state manual and uniform
course of study for the eleme ntary
schools from Fasset A Cotton. state
superintendent of public instruction,
in which he lays special stress on
reading. spelling writing. Reading
he declares, stands first in a course
of study because it furnishes the key
that unlocls the door 10 every other
subject
Spelling cannot be taught inciden-
tally. It must have the systematic
attention of the teacher as separate
subject. and his constant care in all
written work. While oral spelling is
helpful aid in fixing forms. it is
generally conceded that writte..
spelling must receive the larger stress
because the main use of spelling is in
the writing language. The eye rath-
er than the ear must be trained. In
deed, correct spelling must be made
an eye and muscle habit
The State Board of Education has
adopted the New Era SYSTEM" of
semi-slant writing. Teachers are eau
toned TO see that pupils do not learn
bad forms of writing. and to see that
they assume easy positions and get
the correct formation of the letters at
the beginning.
The object of teaching music in the
schools is to give the pupil the power
TO sing by note, music of ordinary
difficulty. and to develop the taste TO
enjoy music of the higher grades. The
teacher is exhorted to take part in the
singing in the school lesson, and TO
introduce new songs so that the eXer-
cises do not become tire some.
The course of study in all branches
is outlined and these pamphlets,
which will be sent to all the teachers
are expected to be of great help to
them in their work.

ADDRESS MADE AT THE OPENING

AL AND INDUSTRIAL EXPOSE
TON AT GROVE CITY.
publishers Pressl

ColumbLe, y, aug. 25.-Vice Presi-
dent Charles W Fairbanks, Governor
Harris and Booker T. Washington. the
noted colore1 educator, were the prin-
cipal speakers at the opening of the
Colored Educational and Industrial
exposition al the suburban village OF
Grove City Mr. Fairbanks said:
The Importance of the work in
which you are engaged can be better
appreciated when we recall the fact
that the black race constitutes more
than 10 per cent of the entire popula-
ton of the United States. There are
over 100000 negroes within our Dor
ders. The question which affects
their welfare is not transitory one.
but is of permanent interest
This exposition is a hopeful sign.
not only because it illustrates what
the negro has been able to accomplish
in the industrial arts in a compare
lively few years, but it shows that he
appreciates the value of cooperation.
There is much good to be derived by
the cooperation of men in the adj
yancement of their common welfare
Our educational system is a broad
and liberal one and there is no good
reason why all of your children
should not obtain a common school
education and be better fitted thereby
to make upright and useful citizens.
Build up the home and if you can
not build one for yourself, do not pull
down the one which your neighbor
has built by his own industry and
thrift Make home place where
work is regarded honorable, where
virtue is respected, where religion is
revered, where patriotism abides,
where knowledge is regarded as the
only real power. Though you en-
counter prejudice you should not be-
come disheartened. You should press
on patiently, hopefully and cour-
ageously.
Education is not for the purpose OF
enabling you TO get along without
work, but to make your work count
for the most. There is vast amount
of manual labor to be done. Do not
get the perverted idea that manual
work is degrading. Always be ready
to perform your full share of it.
"a broad opportunity lies before the
colored race. What it will become
will depend upon what it does In the
final analysis, people advance only by
virtue of their own effort"
Governor Harris and Booker Wash
ington followed with appropriate re-
marks, which were well received. Vice
President Fairbanks left for Indianap-
oils at ID. M
