consensus of opinion among the deie- gates that much good would result rom the discussion that ensued.
 At the morning session interesting papers were read by Professor F. w. Moore, of Vanderbilt University and oy the chancellor, J. H. Kirkland, also or Vanderbilt. Professor Moore's topic was, Study Of Preparatory Schools" He read an exhaustive an interesting paper, giving the deductions atrwhich ne had arrived after a careful examina- ton Of the methods employed by sixty i've preparat6ry schools in the dif- ferent states represented in the as- sociation. The paper was one of the pest during the convention.
 Dr. Kirkland's. subject was. "En- trance Standards in Southern Associa- tons" Dr. Kirkland pleaded for high CT entrance requirements. ,
 A number of speakers participated In general discussion that followed the reading of the papers. Among the speakers were Professor Ayres. of the Univerity of Tennessee; Professor Houston. of the University of Texas Professor ~Henneman. of the University Of the South. The inference drawn from the discussion was that some of the colleges and universities are not holding up their entrance requirements as printed in. their catalogues.
 Al tne dAtotnoOn SeSSiOn Inufeuay, Professor F. P. Claxton. of the Uniyer- sity of Tennessee, read an interesting paper on the subject, '"rhe High|SchooI Curriculum and Its Possible Lines of Development" Professor Bruce Payne, of the University of Virginia, read paper on the subject. How to Obtain Efficient High School Teachers and Superintendents."
 After the reading of the papers short talks were made by Professor Wyclyffe Rose. of Peabody Normal; Prof. K H. Diilard, of the Tulane University; President c. c. Thatch. of Auburn Poly technic School. and Prof. J. B. Henne- man, of the University of the South. One of the points brought out by this discussion was made by President Thatch. who pleaded for fewer re- quirements and additional thorough ness. This speaker stressed thorough ness above every other requisite.

OF PROHIBITION Demon Rum is Wholly
 Surrounded. TEMPERANCE CLERK IS BUSY ] Constitutional Amendment is Now
 in High Favor. All Kinds of Plans Are Proposed to Make old John Barieycorn
 Hide His Face in
There Is no rest for the weary.

There is no rest for the weary. Prohibition measures continue to pour into the legislative grist mill with the same regularity as water falls over Niagara. and the clerk of the Commit tees on Temperance Is one of that rare species left foryfhuman beings to gaze upon. man drawing state money who really works hard.
 The legislators are not overlooking an opportunity to take a wallop at poor old Demon Rum and If the bills pass that have been Introduced. old Demon will have no home within the boun- daries of this state save the lair of the blind tiger.
 The temperance forces arc organized and primedTor fighting. They believe they have ~walkaway and are prepar- ing to wield the lead pipe pitilessly. A fixed program seems to have been decided on. In putting the final crimp into old John Bar1eycorn's anatomy. The prohibition forces are more in evidence than even the Conner lieu tenants.
 You used to see lobbyists and of- flee hunters up here" sighed an old politician yesterday. They've disap- peared and now you see preachers.S
 Brooks Lawrence. superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League is in the lime- light constantly, while ministers of
 
 almost every section of the state crowd the rotunda.
 The Temperance Committee met yes- terday and reported favorably, Chair man Ballard's bill calling for an eIec- tion in November 1905 to adopt con- stitutional amendment to forever put liquor out of the running of these parts.
 This is in accordance with the pro- gram. The statutory prohibition bills are being held in the background for the present The prohibitionists hope to pass the constitutional measure. The plan of battle then Is to put through a State prohibition measure that will be- come active next year. That will keep meets and 1t is their hope that before that time they will have forever and ever sewed up the game.
 Speaker Carmichael is playing the variations on prohibition. He Is att tacking 1t on all sides with every kind of weapon from Krupp gun to bung starter. He introduced four bills bear ing on the question yesterday, to reg ulate prosecutions for violating tenn perance laws, to appropriate $5,O00 an- nually for the Governor to spend to en- force prohibition laws. and to prevent the drinking. or keeping for use, or distribution of 1iuuor in a club room . He also has measure. which he re- fered to the Committee on Temperance prevent the sale or exchange or brass knucks. pistols. slung shots. and other weapons commonly carried by burglars and policemen.
 Mir. Cooper, of Calhoun, has m IS ure to give officers the right to arrest people who offend the, prohibition laws. without warrant. while MT. John would proyide Tor ihe more sffsetuSi sa7 forcement of prohibition.
 In the meantime the antis are far from inactive. but they are working quietly. Both sides are supremely con- fident of final victory.
 At least that's what they both say
