AMONG DAUGHTERS
Delegates AT Odds Over End"wing
Chair of Southern History.

New Orleans, Nov. ll.-Whether
the United Daughters of the Conted-
eracv would contribute $4,000 to
establish chair of Southern history
in the Peabody Institute for training
teachers was a Snag on which the
convention hung for confusing hall
hour YESTERDAY 1t was impossible to
settle the matter on the convention
floor, and through 4 compromise the
matter was put int" the hands oi Il
special committee.
In her report for the committee on
education. Miss Mary 3. Poppenhelm,
chairman. recommended that the pro-
posal 70 raise the $4,000 be abandon
ed as so much monument work had
be.n undertaken. &c. the recommcn-
datlon brought strenuous protest. IL
was with difficulty that president
General White kept Il Semblance OF
order. ana even then many women
were talking at one time.
Mrs. c. B. Tate, the treasurer gen
eral. reported that there is $l",ooo IN
the treasury.
After il was announced that Miss
Hortense Herman, of Baltimore, ha1
won the 1913 prize Of 500 for her
cssay on "The Rank and File OF the
Confederacv." it was unanimously
voted TO offer the same prize for next
years contest.
From all appearances only two
candidates will be nominated for the
office of president general. 1t Is sa'd
that many of the delegates are lean
ino toward Mrs. Daisy Mclaurln
Stevens. of Mississippi, in her race
against Mrs. y l.. Eller Of 'ir-
rinia. 1t is saii that this is because
the Virginia delegation is anxious TO
return Mrs. c. p Tate As treasurer
General and many do not believe Two
r.neral officers should be elected
from the same State.
Last night the delegates were en-
tertained at the French opera.
A singular honor was bestowed upon
Mrs. l.. H. Raines. who resigned her
position as custodian general Of eros
ses of honor. She was elected to the
Office Of referee of crosses of honor
for fife.

MRS. MUNFORD'S TALK.
Urges Cooperative System of Edu-
cation in Virginia-Convention En-
durses Movement.

!. Richmond, Nov. 14.-The election
of officers Of the Daughters Of the
American Revolution was the most
important business to come before
the convention at its closing session
yesterday afternoon. Following a
close balloting Mrs J. w. Jamison
was elected vice e-president-general.
Other officers elected at the meet
ing were Mrs. J. H. Maupin, State
regent; Mrs. w. a. Smoot, Of Alexan-
dria, state yice-regent; Mrs. Robert
GRAY, reelected State secretary;
Mrs George H. Shackelford, State
treasurer, and Mrs. Arthur Kyle
Davis, historian.
Mrs. B. B. Munfol%. was introduced
to the convention at the conclusion
of the business session that she might
present to the Daughters the move
ment TO introduce the cooperative
system of education in Virginia. At
the close of her address the conven-
ton unanimously endorsed the move,
several speaging in favor of it from
the floor.
In part Mrs Munfnrd said: The
cooperative idea of education was
first started in Virginia by the Fed
GRAFTON of Woman's clubs, and has
received the endorsement of the
United Daughters OF the Confeteracy
as well as that of many of the fore
most educators in this and foreign
countries 1t is not propoeed to have
co-education. The idea is simply to
give the girls of the State the advan-
tages of the University facilities such
as library, laboratories, and teachers,
which have been supplied the young
men, and which the young women
stand so greatly in need Of.
"The women of the country are be-
coming intelligent to the needs of
women's education. and are realizing
that if the women are to retain their
place in the affairs of the world they
must be trained for constructive work
as we'll as along social lines. They
must be fitted to take their places no
matter where they may be. and the
increasing number of our high schools
and consequently the increased num-
Der Of teachers requires that addl-
tional training be given them. They
must be trained for home life as
we'll, for they must be prepared for
companionship with man, and for the
motherhood Of the next generation.
