Blandin produces the documentary evt- dence to prove that such was not the case at the South. She says:
 Well aware of the fact that the simple assertion of this truth can be doubted is doubted. and oftentimes denied. the author has undertaken the task of collecting the strongest proof that can be affordsd--that contained in the acts of the Legislatures of the States, in catalogues of the schools. in data preserved in libraries of his- torioal associations and in letters writ ten by people connected with such schools. The facts thus obfained are presented in the sketches of the dif- ferent schools. and enough facts from every section of the South have been gathered to show that the interest In education of women was not confined to any locality or State but was wide spread"
 The first chapter of this interesting book is devoted to Southern cfvfliza- ton. beginning with. colonial life. In the chapter that follows. system of Schools.' Mrs Blandin quotes from pr. J. L. M. Curry set of facts that should be of great pride to Southern CTS:
 "In 1860, the North had a popula- ton of 19,000,000 whites, 205 colleges. 1,407 professors, 29.044 students. In the same year, the South had a popu- lation of s,0O0.000 white. 262 colleges. l,4s8 professors. 37.o55 students. Dur ing the same year the North expend- ed on colleges 35l4.6SS, the South. $l.- 622. .419."
 The plan of the book Is to treat the subject by institutions of learning, and the history begins with the estab- . lishment of the Ursuline Convent in 1727, an institution now enjoying US greatest usefulness, after an existence of a hundred and eighty-one years. The school was established in New Or leans through the efforts of Governor Bienville. After having failed to ob- tain the services of the "Socurs Crises" to teach the girls of the colony Of Louisiana, Bienville next applied to Father Beubois, a superior of the Je- suits, who had recently come to evan gelize the outlying districts of Orleans Island and the Indian tribes of the territory Father Beaubois suggested the Ursulines of Rowen as likely to be able to supply teachers"
 Thus was begun a provision for the education of women in the South. This chapter teens with the romance or those adventurous. hardy times and affords fascinating reading. Other schools treated by Mrs. Elan din are Salem Academy of winston Salem, N. C.. established in 1902. and still in a fiourishing condition, the old est schools for girls in Florida. Geor- gia, Kentucky. Louisianas Maryland. Mi ssi ssippi. Missouri. North Carolina. south Carolina. Tennessee. Texas and Virginia.
 There is a chapter devoted to "early schools in Alabama" and another to Academies in and Around Tuscaloosa, | the Alabama Female Institute" Ma rion Female Seminary" "Livinsston Fe- male Academy" "Athens Female In- stitute,', Alabama Central Female Col Iege." Alabama Conference College' and paragraphs to a. great number of | the lesser institutions.

HISTORY OF HIGHER EDUCA-
 TION OF WOMEN IN THE sour

Mrs. J. M E. Blandin has just issued 30o-page volume on the History of Higher Education of Women in the South Prior to 1S60."
 In the preface the author says: Col leges and universities were provided for the training and culture of men long centuries before such opportuni- ties were accorded to women, but at last men began to realize the truth of the sentiment expressed In one of the earliest acts of the legislative council of the Territory of Orleans. that the prosperity of every State depends greatly on the education of the female sex, in so much that the dignity of their condition is the strongest char acteristic which distinguishes civilized from savage society,""
 While other sections of the country were slow in granting the privileges of higher education to women, Mrs

CIRCUS IN TOWN.
Frank A. Robbins All Feature Shows
Today in Augusta.

The Cohoes Republican has the fol-
lowing to say concerning the Frank
Robbins Circus:
"The famous circus arrived in Cohoes
during the small hours of the day and
the experienced workmen erected the
big tents with the rapidity with which
the mushroom springs from pasture
lot The layman invariably marvels at
the ease and quickness with which the
circus men build the huge canvass
from a comparatively chaotic intricacy
of ropes, pulleys and poles. If one be-
lieyed in the power of magicians, one
would almost declare that every big
circus must employ wonderful ma
gician to wave his wand over the men
when they erect the tents. However,
the combined efforts of all the ma
gicians on the face of the earth would
not prove efficacious in the matter of
building the white tops; for there isn't
a bit of magic connected with the work
at ALL It is simply system that does
the trick--a splendid system which is
carefully adhered to by every working
man. from the superintendent down to
tie humblest canvasman. And to the
CafeIul ODSGFNeT, lillS system 10 u uiy
admirable.
ITO the infinite joy of the small boy
ard his sister, and the evident delight
of the older folks, the circus parade,
replete and respondent, in majestic,
scintillating, bewildering beauty, was
taken over the principal streets of Co
hoes this morning. And the pageant
made a decidedly favorable impression
on all who thronged the line of march.

An important change has been in
augurated in the management of the
Methodist Episcopal church in Maine.
Formally the Maine conference was
divided into three districts with three
superintendent. At the last ses-
sion of the annual conference held
in Berlin the number of districts were
reduced to two, the Portland District
and the Augusta District. The Rev.
Gardiner D. Holmes was selected for
the Augusta District. Mr.. Holmes has
shown himself :, Vie admi'';tfat e
and careful leader winning the good
will and respect of all the churches.
Under his direction it is expected
that the Augusta District will have an
aggressive administration and a rapid
growth.
The people of the Kennebec Valley
will be pleased to know that Mr..
Holmes has been secured for two days
at the Richmond campmeeting which
meets Aug 1928. %
