HIGHER EDUCATION
OF TEACHERS FOR
ALL THE SOUTH
PURPOSE OF PEABODY COLLEGE
FOR TEACHERS TO TRAIN
PROPER LEADERS.
FINANCIAL REPORT TO JULY
Balance Of $1,5o0,o00 Must Be Raised
Within the Next Fifteen Months.
Trained Leadership a Necessity
for Education.

1t has been demonstrated that the
most urgent need of the South to-
day in the way eff education is train
ed leadership, and with this end in
view the trustees of the Peabody edu-
cation fund, who for almost half a
century have been the earnest sup
porters of every phase Of education
in this section of country, have de-
clared that the purpose of the George
Peabody College for Teachers is ito
serve as an educational crown of the
systems of schools which the South
ern states have established and are
maintaining"
George Peabody College is to be a
college for the higher education of
teachers for the entire South, and
a special emphasis will be laid on this
feature of the work. At this time
of industrial social and educational
regeneration, intellectual power is
the only means by which this trans
fofrmation can be successfully met,
and the aim of the college Is to unite
with all other teacher, training agen-
cies in the South for the develop
ment of educational leaders.
Highly trained experts, able to
grasp advanced educational ideas
and to translate them into servicea-
BILE working terms of the needs of ev-
ery-day life, will compose the facul-
ty of the college. Leaders trained
under such men as these will trans
nit their training to other leaders,
and in this way George ePabody
College for Teachers intends to do
for the South what Teachers College
in New York City and the Medical
College Of Johns Hopkins College OF
Johns Hopkins University have done
for those sections.
The total sum required for the
Teachers College is estimated by
those in charge to be $3,114,32O. In
1905 the trustees of the Peabody edu.
cation fund gave the college $1,000,
600 Of the amount on condition that
Nashville, Davidson county and the
State of Tennessee give $550.O00
These conditions were fulfilled.
An additional $5OO,0OO was offered
by the Peabody education fund, pro.
vided that by Nov l, 1913, the col
lege raise the further sum of $1,000.
600. These are all the funds at the
disposal of the trustees of the Pea.
body education fund under Mr.
, Peabody's deed of gift. A financial
report to July Is shows balance OF
$428,0 if the conditions are to be
ret.
According to the stipulations the
college will lose $1,5O0,0OO unless
this balance is raised within the next
fifteen months.
So confident are those in charge of
securing this sum that ground for
the manual training building will be
broken Monday and other buildings
will be started in a short time The
buildings are eof large proportions,
and it will probably be year before
the work of construction will be fin.

On average. SIX seconds to get telephone con-

This may seem slow to the New Yorker, but it,

papers. therefore, set out to how long was the
average time necessary to obtain telephone con-
nectiOn in the gay metropolis. The middle of the
afternoon was chosen, and eighteen calls showed
that the average minute and twenty seconds,
Among the curious details is the fact that it
took only twenty seconds to get the under secretary
Of state for posts telephones and telegaphs, but it
took minutes and thirty-fve seconds to get the

TO get the Office of the newspaper, which was making

had objections TO make to the conclusions. The
