CONFERENCE BARS REPORTER

A dispute developed Saturday be-
tween newspaper men and the Virginia
Conference of the Methodist church in
session in Richmond. The trouble was
really the outgrowth of motion de-
feated Friday to rule out reporter
from the sessions. The exclusion was
accomplished Saturday, when the other
representatives of the press, in
sympathy, left also. The trouble arose
from what DR.. Cannon charged as a
misleading report in Times-Dispatch.
When the reporter for that paper left
the conference, those of the News
Leader and Richmond Journal also left.
DR.. James Cannon. Jr.. offered re-
port on educational matters and this
was followed by an address by Stone
wall Anderson, secretary of eduction
of Arkansas.
DIR. Cannon's report, No. /, was in
the form Of charter. II proposes that
the conference organize a corporation
under the laws of the State for the
purpose of establishing a new religious
college for the State.

fit of the superannuated ministers of
the conferences and ordered an assess
ment Of not less than one per cent of
salaries paid to ministers. DR.. Cannon
led the opposition. DR.. Cannon rose to
correct the reports of the debates. A
motion was made by Delegate Adams,
secretary of the Blackstone Female
College, demanding that the reporter be
expelled. Cooler counsel prevailed and
the matter was ended by endorsement
of DR.. Cannon's statement. The Ran

PROF. THOMAS FITzHUGH
Desires To Form the Classical Asso-
citation of Virginia.

University of Virginia,
Charlottesville. Va. Nov. IL. 1910.
To the Free Lance:
l beg the use of your widely read
columns to call upon all class
heal teachers of V irg n
la and all friends of the higher
culture of our State to meet at $3.50
o'clock on the morning OF Thanks
giving Day in the John Marshall
High School in Richmond for the
purpose of forming The Classical AS
ISOLATION of Virginia.
The object of the association Will
be the promotion of classical teach
ing and of classical culture in Nir-
ginia. The cause is a great and
good one, because it upholds cul-
tural standards and academic sin
cerity. which are everywhere being
imperiled by the American spirit
of academic commercialism, with its
inevitable lust after numbers and
consequent cheapening of academic
standards.
All cultured mankind knows that
the pretense that there is any
real substitute for Latin as the min
imum SINE QUA NON Of all higher
culture today is not academic
democracy but academic proleta-
rianism, not cultural liberty but cul-
tural anarchy, and that the motive
of that pretense Is always and
everywhere either cultural bigotry
and ignorance or else that rampant
commercialism which is the re-
prOach of our nation.
Very truly yours.
