EDUCATION CON.
At NASHVILLE
Three Days Meeting Opens April 5th
President Joe Cook Appointed
Delegate.
Delegate.

Among the most important confer
ences ever held in the Southern states
will be the Fifteenth Conference for
Education in the south, which meets
at Nashville on the third, fourth and
fifth of April The influences of this
Conference will be far reaching, and
will affect in vital way many of the
most important interests of this sec
ton. The general theme will be edu-
cation in relation to the civic and
economic advancement of the south.
Various phases of this general theme
will be discussed by statesmen, minis
tiers, editors, business men, farmers,
lawyers, physicians, and educators.
The Conference is not one of educa-
tors alone, but of all classes of people
who are interested in the welfare of
the south and the betterment of the
condition of the people. For fourteen
years it has been attended by the lead
ers of thought and directors of large
affairs in all sections of the country.
No other agency has had so large an,
influence on the educational develop
ment of these states. Much of the
wonderful progress in education and
of the unprecedent growth and devel-
opment of the common schools, high
schools, colleges, universities, and
technical schools of the Southern
states is attributable to the Confer
ence and the influences and agencies
which have sprung up from it. No
phase of economic and civic life of the
south has failed to be helped by it,
and its influences have been felt in
the north, east, and west as we'll
There is no similar gathering else
where in this country.
Prof. Cook to Attend Conference.
President Joe Cook of the Normal
College will attend the Conference
for Education in the South at Nash
vile, and will remain over for the
Educational Congress, receiving his
appointment as delegate from Cover
