intelligent objection to the efforts

"IHE BEST MAN

There is considerable talk in Ala
bama Just now about the choice of a
president for the University of that
state. There Is demand among those
whom the Montgomery Advertiser
charges with provincial sentiment"
for the election OF an Alabama man
the head Of this institution There
Is no objection to Alabama men as
such. We believe, but we agree wholly
with the Montgomery newspaper that
the best man" should be selected for
this. position. whatever his place of
birth or residence-the tests to be ap-
piled being capacity. character and
energy" The Advertiser notes that
tho University OF Virginia went out
side OF this State to select it's first
president. DR. Edwin A. Alderman. a
naive OF North Carolina. teacher
and administrator who had acquired
a great reputation in other places, and
who has contributed as the Advertiser
says, by his management of the trust
placed in his hands Ito the great glory
and prosperity of the University"
Education is not thing tina, is to
be bounded by community and State
laws. The true teacher belongs to the
republic of letters and not to a single
community or neighborhood. and our
Montgomery contemporary is entirely
right in insisting that the man best
fitted for the administration of the
affairs of the University Of Alabama
should be chosen for that work, In no
other way can there be true educa-
tionnl progress.
