After reviewing the Soutb's educations! progress during the past ten years, Presi dent Cisxten eaid: PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS. "Under existing laws, and laws which will most probably be enacted during the new year, it is quite safe to predict that ths class of the decade will find few counties in all this section without one or more high schools open and free te country boys and girls. "Ths average length of the school term In the Southern States Is less than? six months. Only about two-thirds the av erage, for the rest of ths country. Aver age school fund is less than It for. each child ot school age, less than one-third the average for the remainder of the country. Our teachers sre paid less than Is paid for any other kind of skilled labor. The average annual '. salary Ot tbeussjids of teachers Is teas than the annuaf cost of feeding prisoners In our1 county jails. If the teachers should com mlt crimes and be put In jail, taxes would j have to be Increased beyond the present rate of school taxes In order to pay for their keep. UNTRAINED TEACHERS. " "Most ot the teachers are untrained and uneducated, less than SB per cent.. In rural elementary schools having as much as a good high school education. Less than ten per cent, have had any adequate professional preparation. All our South ern States are without effective compul sory school attendance laws." Professor Chtxton recommended a nine months school term in every district of reasonable else, attractive school houses. consolidation of schools to give two or mere teachers to as many schools possible, highly trained teachers, good pay, good' publlo high schools, and a suf ficient number of normal training schools. "All this is attainable within the next quarter of a century if we are willing to pay the price In money and effort, and ws are at last able to do both." Another feature of the evening session was an address by Dr. Joseph Moss, of Peabody College, Nashville, Tenn., on the subject of "A New Chapter in tbs His tory of Education." , EDUCATION OP NEGRO. The session Wednesday morning will be devoted to the discussion of the education of the negro. 'The convention was called to order at M . m. in the First Method 1st church by President. Claxton. -Among ths addresses Of welcome was, one by Ooveraor Hokey Smlthw ' i Ai interesting, feature of the morning session was the reading of reports by ladies from each State who. represent the 'school Improvement association."
