If the Northern members of the Conference of Educa tion in the South came here wlth'the' Impression that this State or the South needs help In the education of the people, they will not go away with that impression," should they 'believe what Governor Glenn told them in the addyesa of welcome. For at least an hour he eulogised the State and the section, dwelling upon Its glorious his tory, Its resources, its wealth ttje un paralleled growth of its Industries and its advancement -in education.

It was in discussing Thaw's mental state that Mr. Delmas came at last to the 'funwrltten law," " "The district attorney will make light of the experts because they have not defined the species of Insanity upon which they say Harry Thaw is suffer ing, he declared.. .:.',v:i''-'':'-:' ' "I will suggest its name.

"" "Ah, gentlemen," said Mr. Delmas, dramatically turning to the alienists who testified for the prosecution, "If you desire a name for this species of Insanity; let me suggest - it call It dementia Americana,. , ."That Is the species' of insanity which makes every American man .be lieve his home to be sacred;; that Is the species of Insanity which, makes him believe the honor of his daugh ter is saored; that is the species of insanity whlch makes him believe: the honor of his wife Is sacred; that 19 the species of insanity which makes him believe -that whosoever invades his home, that whosoever; stains the -virtue of his threshhold. has violated the highest of human laws and must ap peal to the mercy of God if mercy there be for him. anywhere in the universe. : '"That is the snlB of - narvitw whlch ras been ' recognized ; by the courts in t cases of-" - , MRGAllVAN ,OJECTS.

" The latter waved his hand and turned again to the Jury. V "Remember, gentlemen, the law is a human law.

No State In onf South land would consider for a, minute ac cepting any aid, , any contribution 'of money, any counsel intended, to bring about mixed schools.'" Thlr statement was greeted with applause. The Gov ernor did" not make' any direct state ment that his State would resent the offer of Northern charity, but three fourths ot his extended speech was an Indirect argument ' to that effect. 'He said that in the manufacture of cot ton, North Carolina is now second only to Massachusetts and that tn half a dozen years she will be . at the head of the list. In several raw and manu factured products she . is now at the head of. the list . " : , I mlghtt say. here that ; there ' have been several eloquent tributes to; the memory of Dr. Mclver. V U- Dr. Mitchell described the ; Gov rnor's speech as .not reverting to the "reconstruction," but. are pro claiming "renaissance." He thanked the Governor for the "note of sym pathy" in his address "for "when li reel a lack of connaence in the pur pose of the movement it cuts me to the heart" " His argument was that the South ern Education Board should ' organ ize "neighborhood ' leagues"'!, to. a the end that the school house rather than the court house or church should be made - the nucleus of every neighbor Jiood. anditne-unirying force in it. : DEMOCRACY OF MOVEMENT. - He emphasized- the democracy of the movement : m that it- is. noti an olBclal body, but seeks - to create sentiment and exercise influence with the spirit that humanity Is greater than government. "The genius of this x movement," said ; he,' "Is co- operation and its eenlus should he ax tended to the local community. The movement in its anneal to the nensa of brotherhood. in the world around Is responsive to the democracy, of the South." its objects-are to create a sentiment that will result in aid for ine eaucauon or tne poor white chil dren, such as mill hands; to cultivate a aeraocrauc spirit in the colleges and to train the negro.. . . ; , "The activity . along these three lines oi aavancemenv constitute one of the grandest efforts for education me wona nas ever seen -The ,- rest of the morning session was consumed, with the ; reading of Edgar Gardner Murphy's speech by ur. a.
