TO EDUCATE POOR WHITES
Prominent Educators Hold Confer
ence in Memphis.

Prominent Educators Hold Confer
ence in Memphis.
Memphis, Tenn, April 22.-Dis-
tinguished educators, university
presidents, state superintendent,
statesmen, editors, bishops, clergy
men and clubwomen, the leading in
tellectual lights of the New South,
together with a considerable sprink-
ling of famous visitors from other
sections of the country, are the
guests of Memphis today and will at
tend the eleventh meeting of the
Conference for Education in the
South. The opening session this
evening will be addressed by Cover
nor NJ. R. Patterson, who viii well
come the visitors to Tennessee. Rob
ert c. Ogden, the venerable New
York philanthropist who is the pres
ent president of the conference, will
also speak. The sessions will last
through tomorrow and Friday and
will be addressed by the Hon. James
Bryce, British ambassador to the
United States. and scores of other
prominent men who have interested
themselves in the development of
the schools and educational institu-
tons in Dixie.
The Association of State Superin-
tendents of Education in the South
will hold it's convention in connect
ion with the conference, as usual,
and nearly all the members, from
Virginia to Texas, are here. State
meetings will be held by delegates
from the various Southern states to-
morrow Headquarters for the con-
ference have been established by the
Memphis Business Mems Club, where
all the delegates were given a hearty
welcome.
The object of this conference is to
educate and uplift the poor whites"
of the South and in this effort it has
already been highly successful In
regard to the work of the body, Sec
rotary Edgar Gardner Murphy says:
The illiterate mass of our white
population are a pure and vigorous
stock. They are not the decadents,
but the unstarted. Their promise is
Iillimitable. To tell of their needs was
| no pleasant enterprise. Even now an
occasional reactionary spirit is
| heard to declare that because he
| loves and esteems them, and because
! they are better than many of the
! llliterate populations of other sec
! tions, the movement that reveals
| their ignorance and insists
upon their education, is to be
resisted. The answer of the South
as whole, is that because she loves
and esteems them-their children
are entitled to the broadcast oppor-
tunities and the best advantages
which life may offer; that any move
ment which reveals their ignorance
in order to bring them knowledge,
which would increase their know
ledge not upon the ground of their
incapacity, but upon the ground of
their value to society; which asserts
their right to the worlds best, and
the worlds right to their best, is a
movement to be commended and re-
enforced

The Fort Worth Record contends
that there is no harm in United
States senator's name being on the
private code book of big trust.
Perhaps not, if the senator's name
was there without his knowledge or
consent, but to some OF US unsophis-
ticated fellows it is hard to under
stand how a senator who is faithful
to his people could consent and en-
courage the familiarity of the trusts.

He declared that he had not only
not sat with Morgan, but he had
never sat on the same bench with

Morgan but once, on the day OF the
