IMPORTANT EDUCATIONAL CON-
FERENCE
FERENCE.

university OF Virginia, Nov. 14.-In one
sense the most interesting and important
educational conference held in the South
IN the last ten years, is the conference
called by President Alderman to meet
at the University OF Virginia on Novem-
Der % to "a. This conference will bring
together the presidents of seven State
Universities the presidents of all Vir-
ginia colleges, the State Superintendents
of Education in the States of North Car
DINA, South Carolina, Tennessee, Ala
bama, Georgia and Virginia, and the pro-
fessors of secondary education in the
same States, and certain experts In agri-
cultural education.
The conference is notable because it
is the first thorough going attempt on the
part of those engaged in higher educa-
ton to reach down to the secondary
schools and aid in relating them properly
to the schools below and the schools
above. No American State. unless it be
Wisconsin, possesses an ideal system of
secondary education. In most of them
an unfortunate gap exists between the
elementary schools and the colleges, and
by reason of this gap, one-half of the
most capable children of the Common
wealth have no open road to a complete
education.
1t is a splendid sign when the colleges
and universities come to see that the
high-school is a real tie binding together
the two separated parts of a common
process. To multiply the hign schools,
to search their course of study, to unity
them in their relation to other forms of
education, is about the best educational
problem now before the people,

there are possibilities in the delivery of

of last year, and besides West Virginia,
represent five other States.

PARISH WORK.

There are men of extraordinary devel-
opment who can do but one thing we'll.
Whether they are inventors, poets, eXplor-
ers, or preachers, they do best that which
accords with their genius; but they are
exceptions and furnish no rule for men
who are not of their class. Because
few preachers can get on without doing
parish work, it is the fashion to decry
1t But, for the majority of churches
IT always was and always will be true
mat The best and the most enduring work
comes from personal, sympathetic con-
TACT between pastor and people. No young
preacher can afford to dispense with in
innate acquaintance with all who come
within the range of his influence. If he
succeeds greatly as pastor, coming gen
ersuons will bless his name. If time
anu experience show that he is a great
preacher, and therefore one man in
