EDUCATION CONFERENCE
HISTORY OF ORGANIZATION WHICH MEETS AT LITTLE
 ROCK IN APRIL.
(Sent by the Committee of School
 Patrons.)

l TdlrOnS.J
 The conference for education in the
 south holds its thirteenth anual meet.
 ing in Little Rock in April, and Will
 be one of the most important assem-
 blapes ever gathered in Arkansas. In 1897 Rev. Edward Abbott, of Cam bridge, Mass, made journey through the south, and visited many schools for both whites and blacks. On reach ing Capon Springs, w. Va, ne con- ceived the plan of calling together va rious educators to discuss the peculiar needs of southern schools. The first Capon Springs conference was helo June 29 to July 3, 1898; of the thirty four members enrolled, twenty were ministers of the gospel, and interest centered primarily in the chuch schools maintained for the coiored race. Later it was pointed out that, with the ex- ception of Vanderbilt and the UDlver- sity of Virginia, the white institutions of the south have had no help from the north. and the tide of endeavor turned toward schools established and sup ported by the state for both races.
 The conference, at it's first three meetings, was entertained by Capt. w.. H. Sale, proprietor of the hotel at Ca pon Springs, and membership was llm- ited to the list of guests invited by him. It now meets in different city each year, and the large attendance is purely voluntary. From year to year it has elected a presiding officer, appointed committees, etc., without an exchequer, annual dues, or definitely constituted membership. Heads ot great universities, humble school teachers, men and women of the north and south meet in this crusade for free popular education. It has received the whole-hearted assistance of the southern colleges and universities, the public press, the federation of women's clubs and other women's organlza- tions. The work of the conference IS carried on through two boards, the first, composed of southern men and called the Southern Educational Board, receives funds, and disburses them in such way as to receive the largest return for universal education. Northern men have asked to share in this, as fellow citizens, engaged Tn the common service of common country.
 The public schools of the south are far below the standard set by other sections, first, because of the extreme poverty resulting from the civil war; second, because prior to the war there were no public schools; third, because schools must be maintained for two races, instead of one. The conference has been working for county supervis- ion, professional training of teachers, and therefore better, teachers, exten- sion of school improvement leagues, compulsory education and consolida- ton of schools. In the words of Pres ident Robert C. Ogden of New York, the aim is "education for all the peo- pie, good, well-equipped schoolhouses, with competent teachers and an eight trict."

TEXAS REPUBLICANS
START ROOSEVELT BOOM
Complain Bitterly Of Treatment by
President Taft and Cecil cyon-
Call Themselves "Insursents."

San Antonio. Texas, April 1S.-Both
President Taft and Colonel Lyon, Re-
publican leaders Of Texas, are getting
a severe raking over the Goals In a
grievance brief forwarded to the for
mer by the Republican executive COM
mittee of Bexar county, one of the
strongest Republican organizations In
the state. The body in question sums
up its complaints by expressing itself
as desirous Of going ION record against
this Infamous system of self-appoint-
ment by federal officials and their
high-minded assumption to dictate in
the state affairs" of which grave Of
tense Colonel Lyon, c. A. Boynton,
United States district attorney, and
Eugene Nolte, United States marshal,
are accused.
President Taft is arraigned for hav-
ing refused TO receive delegation
from the Republican clubs in Bexar
county on the occasion of his visit
in this city last October and also for
having failed to even acknowledge
the receipt of the communication ask.
ing for the interview.
In the meantime the Insurgents
as they have styled themselves have
prepared several warm surprises for
the conference of the Republican AS
sociation OF Texas. which will be held
in this city on April on April 81. one

NTERscHoLAsTic TRACK MEET.
Arrangements All Pefected-Repre-
sentstives from a Large Number of
Schools to Be Present.
From the Battalion:

ffom the battalfon.
All arrangements for the interschol-
astic track meet to be held here on
April 81 and 22nd have been COM
pleted. The grounds have been put
in excellent condition, all apparatus is
in good shape. the medals to be
awarded to the victors have been re-
ceived and with the arrival OF the diff
ferent teams, prospects are fine for
pulling off the most successful meet
of its kind ever held in the state.
At the meet held last year at Austin
the contestants were divided into two
classes viz; those representing high
schools forming one class while those
representing the acadamies, forming
the other class. OF the high school
class, the team from Belton won first
place, and Allen Academy of Bryan
came out first in the academy class.
On the last day OF the meet the win
ming teams of the two classes contest

the contest Allen Academy won out
again sustaining the high record in
athletics always held by that school.
The above plan is not to be followed
this year, thus allowing all teams to be
entered on an equal basis. A. & M.
is the first institution in the state to
adopt the plan of having meet held
on its grounds at its own expense,
and, while at first thought the under
taking may seem to be quite an ex-
pensive one. results will prove that
A. & NJ will not lose thereby. Re-
presentiyes will be here from every
section of the state, and after receiv-
ing the treatment always accorded
visitors at this place, and after being
shown what an interest A. and NJ.
has in athletics, these same repre-
sentatiyes will leave here with
feeling towards A. & NJ, that can re-
suit in nothing but good for the in
stitution. No, A. and NJ. will not loose
anything by following the plan which
she has adopted. Many of the
schools of the state have been prevent
ed from sending teams to the annual
meets on account of financial con-
ditions, as many of the schools do
not support a fund for that purpose.
This year, however, this obstacle is
removed forever and to estimate the
good results toward forwarding the
cause Of track athletics in the various
schools, made possible By this one
fact, would require no little thought
Thus, all will show in the benefits
derived besides from the athletic
features of the meet, there is to be
another feature of equal Importance

copies of which have been sent to the
superintendents and principles of the

FOSTERS WEATHER BULLETIN.

Washington, d. c.. April 16.-Last
bulletin gave forecasts of disturbance
to cross continent 12 to 16. warm wave
IL to Is, cool wave IA to IS. This
disturbance was expected to develop
greatest intensity Oh western parts of
the continent and TO lose force as it
progressed eastward. Unusually cool
weather was expected to follow the
storm center reaching meridian 80
about 16 and eastern sections day
or two later.
Next Insurance will reach Pacific
coast about II, cross Pacific slope
about IS. great central valleys 19 to
21, eastern sections 20. Warm wave
will cross Pacific slope about II, great
central valleys 19, eastern sections 21.
Cool wave will cross Pacific slope
about 20, great central valleys %,
eastern sections "a.
This disturbance will be preceded
by unusually cool weather with frosts
as far south as sometimes occurs at
this season. The five days tempera-
ture centering on the warm wave of
the disturbance will average below
the normal but temperatures will not
remain down long after the storm
passes.
The forces of this disturbances will
increase as it approaches eastern Sec
tions and the eastern provinces and
eastern states will get the most in
tense part of it, Not much rain during
four or five days this storm center will
be crossing the continent.
Another disturbance will reach Pa
cific coast aout II cross Pacific slope
by close of 22. great central valleys
23 to 25. eastern sections 26. Warm
wave will cross Pacific slope about 81,
great central valleys %, eastern Sec
tions 25. Cool wave will cross Pacific
slope about "a. great central valleys
26. eastern sections 2S.
Temperatures of this disturbance
will average above normal and rain
fall below The storms will not be
great but will develop more than av-
erage intensity. The warm wave will
cause very high temperatures one or
two days and great central valleys in
the states will be calling for more
rain
Last half of April will bring. most
of the time. crop weather favorable
to corn planting in middle latitudes
and the sowing of oats farther north.
While floods may be expected in a
few small sections an excess of rain
fall will not be the rule in the states,
and corn should be planted with the
expectation that rainfall of the crop
season will be less than usual In the
states the potatoes viii probably be a
short crop and they should be plant
ed only on low or bottom land.
Canadian weather will not be sim
liar to that of the states and in Can
ada planting and sowing should be
for an average season of crop W aather.
The Comet.
Those who can rise an hour before
the sun does may have a good view
of the comet which will seem to back
away from the sun Don't get excited
about this unusual visitor. Remember
that the human race has inherited a
fear of comets probably because in re-
mote ages some comet. perhaps our
moon came uncomfortably close to
our earth. Halley's comet may strike
the earth but not at this visitation.
