ed classes in the various departments
Of the institution till Chapel hour,
9:45, when they came into United
Chapel and Superintendent Crabbe,

tention. The rest of the morning

At 1880 p. M, the conference as.
sembled in the Upper Chapel and
considered the general subject Of
school legislation. Superintendent
Upper, Of the College, presided and
introduced the subject as under three
heads: Faults of the present laws.
Faults Of the proposed law. Feat
ures that should be included in any
new school legislation. The faults Of
the present laws seem, in the estima-
tion of the speakers, to lie in the
trustee system, and in leaving action
toward raising any money beyond
that coming from the state solely to
the citizens of the districts. The
fault in the law proposed during the
last session Of the State Assembly
appeared 10 lie in the possibility Of
the four trustees belonging TO one
faction OF party and their using their
position to reward their political
friends. Another objection made to
the law was in its taking all immedi-
ate control over the schools from the
patrons. The features desired in new
Legislation were adequate salaries for
well qualified superintendent, oblig
atory local taxation with taxes col
lected by the sheriff, local manage
ment Of schools with supervision by
county superintendent, aud sufficient
compensation for teachers to enable
them TO make life business of teach
ing.
Nearly all the members OF the con-
ference took part in the discussion.
At 2 O'Clock the Conference divid-
ed into two bodies, the Superinten-
dents remaining to consider problems
Of superintendent with President
Frost as Chairman, and the teachers
going to the Chapel stage to consider
subjects of special interest to them
