A ROUNDED EDUCATION
 FOR EVERY GIRL
Converse College Has Perfected a Beautifully Rounded Standard of Artistic, Scientific and
 Womanly Education.

It is not imagined at Converse that Col lege Pedagogy resolves itself into the theory of least resistance Although par tieular pains arc taken to educate every girl according to her tastes rather than athwart them, still instruction in science and mathematics is as painstaking and capable as any other.
 Mathematics here rises to the intersral calculus, and science to organic chemis- try, while in other departments are of fered, for example, thorough courses in economies, psychology. etc, all for the sake of breadth recognizing the educated womanis cultured interest in all things human, yet chefishing in constant remem- brance the fact that a wonan's interest, a woman's place in the world demands the wo1nanly education of women. For the exceptional woman there are oth- CT institutions, but at Converse College It is not believed that the average girl cares or needs to be a specialist. For instance, in art and music. while the specially talented girl is given fullest op- portunity, still each and every individual is taught to hear and see with that un- derstanding which insures full interpre- tation and appreciation of masterpieces.
 All in all, above all things, Converse College of Spartanl,urg S. G. stands for the highest perfection in comprehensive. rounded education for girls.

NO FILINGS AT SENATOR'S
Republican County Committee
Tables AIIen's Resolution.

James A Allen formerly Assemblyman from
the 9th District, at the meeting Of the Repub-
lcan County Committee last night at the Muir
ray Hill Lyceum introduced a resolution crit
icising Senators Platt and Depew and calling
on them to resign. His resolution, by a vote
Of 200 to 2, was laid on the table as soon as
read, MrI Allen and personal friend being the
only ones to put themselves on record in favor
of the resolution.
The Allen resolution came like bomb hurled
from the other side of the block and after
muffled growl of anger from the assembled dele
gates it was taken joke. Allen in fntroduc-
ing it, in sepulchral tones said that he Ill
and therefore would not make speech. Then
he started in like runaway automobile. but
was halted on a point of order.

After L. E. Quigg had Intellectually tried to
have the resolution squelched before reading
on President Parsonss ruling IT was read. II
declared that recent disclosures respecting the
private and political life OF the Senators had
established by sworn testimony what had been
the general conviction that they morally
and politically unworthy of membership in the
Senate of the Unised States, and so they should
resign or be expelled.
Aside from the Allen bomb" the, meeting
was nearly featureleSS. The subcommittee
ported in favor of the Joveshof delegates in the
18th District William. Halpin. In a minority
report held that Michael H Blake entitled
TO the leadership of the district, Mr.. Halpin
withdrew the Blake contest, and the report Of
the committee adopted without opposition.
Charles X. Lexow, reporting for the executive
committee said that direct primary nominations
would work disastrously TO Republicans in heavy
Democratic districts, enabling the Tamnany
leaders TO nominate Republican candidates. He
suggested that the idea of direct nominations
is all right but that more time was needed to
work out safe law.
William H. Wadhams, for the subcommittee
on direct nominations, made formal report
James A Allen moved that Mr.. Wadhamss re-
port be adopted, but the motion was lost, while
the I.exow report was approved This defers
action on direct nominations until next year.

vocating direct nominations.
