NExr MEETING pLACE.
Teachers VIII Probably Assemble In New Orleans.

Teachers Will Probably Assemble In
 New Orleans.
 The place in which the members of the Southern Educational Association will hold the annual meeting In 1907 is still left undecided. While it was announced yesterday that the general consensus of opinion of the Board of Directors of the association was in fav- or of some city west of Montgomery, nothing definite was done in regard to the matter, and 1t will be left in the hands of the Executive Committee, to be determined upon at some later meet ing
 It is thought more probable. how ever. that New Orleans will get the convention. It is probable, in this event. that the Southern Association of College Women and the Southern So- city for Philosophy and Psychology win also hold heir meetings in the Crescent City in conjunction with the larger association, as has been done in Montgomery during the last week.
 Three invitations were placed before the board for consideration at the meet ing of that body yesterday afternoon. One came from President Cooper of the Jamestown Exposition, to hold the meeting in Richmond, Va. Another was extended by M. A. Cassidy, of Lex Nsr the association yesterday morning. The invitation from New Orleans was ex- tended by President E. B. Craighead of Tulane University, when he ad- dressed the association Thursday night.
 It was rumcred that a number of the members of the board were in fav- of making the next meetingg place in Little Rock, Ark. although no formal invitation has been extended to the edu- cators from that city thus far.
 The board decided that the next meeting will be held during the Thanksgiving holidays next year in- stead of the Christmas holidays. It was contended that the present time is undesirable. as many who would at tend at other seasons of the year, wish to spend the holiday week with their families.
 Another act of the board was to make provision for the publication of the minutes of the convention just closed. During the sessions of the three days Pat McGauley was in attendance, talk ing stenographic notes of the proceed ings. When these notes are compiled, they will be published. and copies sent to every member of the Southern Edu- cational Association.

 "In conclusion, we tender the sin cere thanks of this association to the several officers who have labored SC successfully to make the session now closing so profitable; our thanks and grateful acknowledgement are also due to the several local committees who have so carefully provided for the comfort and entertainment of the as- sociation, to the railroads for reduced rates, and especially to the press and citizens of Montgomery for the many kindly courtesies extended 70 the mcm> bership of the association.
 Respectfully submitted, by the committee,
 U. H. Phillips, Chairman"
 The morning session, which was the last held by the Association as a whole, was called to order by President Aber- crombie in the auditorium of the Girls High School at 10 o'clock. The meeting was given over to the transaction ot business, and the reading of a number of papers, dealing chiefly with the problems of secondary education and the establishment of public school libraries.
 The OTBdnlZdLlOH OI d DNpdE TOT the Advancement of Libraries was the outcome of addresses made by Presi- dent G. H. Baskette of the Carnegie Library Board of Nashville. Tenn. and Dr. Thomas M. owen of the Alabama State Department of Archives and His tory on the latter subject.
 Two Interesting Papers.
 After the election of officers which was the first number of business on the program, Superintendent Junius Jor- dan, of Pine Bluff, Ark, ~ead a paper on the subject, Some Rural School Problems" He was followed by Prof. J. $. Stewart of the University of Geor- gia, who spoke on the subject of "The High School in the State System" Among other things, he said:
 Many modern rural schools are blind alleys. In them, boys and girls are taught by a girl who has gone no further in her education, perhaps. than have the pupils. What would you do here in Montgomery without the high school? And yet, in the South there are millions of boys and girls who have never seen secondary school, The high schools are neglected, and as result the colleges suffer. Last year only 2.0OO students graduated from Southern colleges. In New York State alone. there were last year 1000 more high school students than in all the eleven Southern States put together"
 The address of Professor Stewart was a strong plea for the establish ment of an adequate system of high schools. To reach this end, he said the Southern people need definite legis- latlon providing for State aid; close supervision of the schools: eorre-

SOUTHERN EDUCATORS COMPLETE
 THEIR WORK AND LEAVE MONTGOMERY
OWEN MADE RECORD
ORGANIZES A RoDY IN SEVEN MIN-
 UTES.
Department of Libraries of Southern Educational Association Perfected With 9peed--Burkette Is
 President,

State Director of Archives and His tory Thomas M. Owen, made a record yesterday, when, as Chairman of a meeting, he organized a Department of Libraries of the Southern Educational Association, electing officers, passing a resolution to make application for membership to the American Library Association, and had resolution pass ed favoring library legislation. He did all of these things in less than seven minutes by the watch.
 When the final session of the educa- tors meeting closed, Dr. Owen, who had been delegated by President Aber- crombte to take charge of the organ ization of the new department took a firm grip on the gavel, poupded for order. and announced that if those fn- terested in libraries would wait seven minutes, he would then have the organ ixatton perfected and in running order, and ready to establish libraries ad lib- itum. About forty people, thinking he could not do 1t, waited to see him try. pr. Owen wasted no time. He ap- pointed as the first official act after silence had been secured, Miss Nimmo Greene of Montgomery, to act as sec- retary. Before the Secretary could ga- ther together paper and pencil, he entertained and passed a motion to ap- point committee on nominations Then, right of the reel, he appointed as members of this committee Dr. C. J. Owens, pr. R. J. Tighe and Dr. ". T. Mcflvaine
 These preliminary movements had ta- ken up two minutes of the prescribed time. In two minutes more, the com mitte reported. Their nominees were | President B. H. Baskette, ofk the Car- negie Library Board of Nashville. Tenn; Vice-P President, Prof. J. S. Stew art. of Georgia; Secretary, Miss Nimmo Green of Montgomery. The nomina- tions having been made, Dr. Owen took just thirty seconds to go through the fmachinery necessary to their election. That left him two minutes and thirty seconds leeway, and he had accomplish ed everything he set out to do. But with that amount of time left on his hands, the Chairman proceeded to util- ize flying seconds.
 He said he was ready to entertain a motion to direct the secretary to make application in the name of the department for membership to the American Library Association. The mo- ton was forthcoming, and under the gaze of his hypnotized hearers. he call ed for a vote and passed the motion.
 He also said he would entertain a resolution fayoring all library legtsla- tion, especially for rural schools. Again a resolution was forthcoming, and it was passed with like expedition. Then pr. owen looked at his watch. He had just fifteen seconds of the time left. One more motion was entertain ed-to adjourn, and this was passed in like manner.
 ''We might have accomplished more." said Dr. owen, mopping his brow after the strenuous, although short session. ''but asssit was, I think we did fairly wei Besides. we had one hard ses- sion, and did not want the members to work too hard"

This measure, in altered form, was presented for the consideration of the committee at another meeting at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon in the par proved.
 Deliberations on other measures, however. were cut short by the unex- pected departure of a number of the committee members.

 The place of athletics in the school and the university, was a topic brought up for discussion ct the meet ing of the Department of Industrial and Manual Arts of the Southern Edu- cational Association in the Girls High School yesterday afternoon. Inciden- tally. the stress placed upon football and the place taken by that sport in | modern college life, was taken Up and gone over.

All the troubles we have had has been connected with this sport. It has taken a position altogether out of proportion to its importance In college life.

It has taken hold on the university which no other sport has" Dr. Theodore Toeple of Atlanta, Ga., read q paper on Physical Training and Athletics as Factors in Correct Educa- ton" He said there were three de- velopments of the student which the school should endeavor to attain, the moral dvelopment Hantal development and the development of the body No form of education Is complete, he de- clared, which does not take into com sideration and provide for develop ment along all three lines simultane- ously.
