CHURCH TO FIGHT ON.
Southern Methodist Conference
Votes Not to Give up Wander
bilt Without Struggle.

Oklahoma City, Okla, May 49,,
The quadrenrGal conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South,
in session here yesterday voted to
reconsider the entire Vanderbilt Uni
versity question.
The committee of fifteen is IN
structed to follow the spirit of the
majority report and the supplement
Gtary legislation submitted at ycster-
Eday's session by Judge N. E. Har-
MS, Of the Georgia conference.
The majority report on the Van
dcrbiEt controversy, which wa:
( adopted by the conference Saturday
night, provided for returning to the
original eight patronizing confercn-
ces whatever interest in the unlver'
sity remained to the church under
tbs Tennessee Supreme Courts re-
cent decision. The court held that
the church did not have control OF
Vanderbilt.
1t developed yesterday that the
signers Of the majority report had
discovered that the church held sub
stantial instead of negligible
rights in Vanderbilt, despite the
courts rulings. -. ''''.;: -.
This was brought out in pro-
posed amendment to the report, pro-
/ viding for continuation of relations
for the interim between the adjourn
ment of the General Conference and
the q completion of reconveyng - OF
Vanderbilt to the patronizing confer
ences and giving the Beard OF Edu-
cation authority to confirm or reject
trustees.
Judge D. H. Linebaugh, chairman
of the Vanderbilt committee Of III
teen, commended the acceptance OF
1.-THE Carnegie gift by the board OF
trust of Vanderbilt over the veto OF
! tine bishops, was "a violation Of then
trust, dishonor to the church and
had created an i1-reconsibable Differ
ence." He declared the legal title
of Vanderbilt was in the board OF
trust, but an equitable title rested
in the patrorizing conferences.
! A report from the committee OF
rducattion was presented and adopted
inforsing the work of the general
board for the quadrennium and rau'
fymg the plan of creating an en-
downent fund. The report suggest
cd that s5oO,OOO be raised in the
next four years.
j The question of laity rights for
women was made an order of today
Two reports of the. committee are
. nending, the majority being against
and the minority favoring extension
J of such rights. The majority. is
isig1fed by As members of the COM
, nnittee, while 10 signed the minority
report. 1890.

DANISH FOLK HIGH
SCHOOLS SUGGESTED

That the Danish folk high schools
for ''grown-ups," which have made
possible the recent great development
in rural Denmark. can be successfully
transplanted in modified form to the
United States. Is the conclusion reach
ed by II. w. Foght. of the United
States Bureau of Education, in a bull
letin just issued. Mr.. Foght has studied
both the Danish schools and American
rural conditions at first hand. and he
believes that what the folk high
schools have done for rural civiliza-
ton in Denmark they can do for the
United states.
The place to introduce the new type
of school is the region known as the
South Atlantic highland, according to
Mr.. Foght, embracing West Virginia,
forty-two counties in western Virginia;
twenty-three in western North Caro-
Ina. and four In western South Caro-
lima. twenty-five I'm northern Georgia:
seventeen in northeastern Alaban ina /:
forty-tive in eastern Tennessee, and
thirty-six in eastern Kentucky. II is
not that those sections are necessarily
behind other parts of the country in ed
ucatlon, though much illiteracy pre-
walls. but that the peculiar local con-
ditions demand some institutions like
the Danish schools.
There are already a few folk high
schools IN the United states. establish
ed by Danish immigrants. While grave
difficulties have been experienced by
these schools, Mr.. Foght is of the
opinion that they arc due to certain
special causes that could easily DO over
come in a real attempt TO adapt the
folk" high school to American life
in the mountains
The Folk high school spirit has
smancipsted the agricultural population
OF Denmark" declares Mr.. Foght. 1T
has at least made country people the
peers of their city brethren They have
become leaders in affairs. in production.
in distribution. in politics. chiefly be-
cause they have learned to think for
themselves and to act Independently OF
the industrial classes.
In the United States there is great
danger Of going to the extreme in the
Immediately practical and technical
The work OF special schools is in danger
OF focusing too much on making two
blades OF grass grow where one grew
before. on teaching girls to cook and
keep house. according to sanitary regu-
lations. and the Ike.
These things are all necessary and
must be taught in the schools but they
are utterly insufficient 10 make US a
really great agricultural nation. II was
not the local agricultural schools and
household economic schools that pri-
marily made Denmark great scientific
agricultural nation, but the folk high
schools.
I'VE need such schools in the United
States; schools that would teach a
greater love for the soil; that would
help US 10 measure tine sood In life bv
spiritual standards and not by man
made rules; schools that would help Us
to rise above the limitations OF locality
and state, and teach an understanding
Of the national and even universal in
the United States"
