GEO. WELWOOD MURRAY,
Auditor.
New York, April 25, 1902.
During the reading of the report
President Boatright arrived and after
explaining his absence delivered an ad
dress on the educational revival now
prevailing in part as follows:
"The present year of grace is a good
time to "be alive. Never before in our
country was so nearly realized the
brotherhood of man. Witness the char
ities and philanthropies of our cities,
the 'benevolent institutions of all our
states, the quick sympathlies and ready
humanitarianism of the public press,
our world-wide missions, and last but
not least our splendid efforts to make
knowledge the 'birthright of every
American. Notable illustrations of the
statement are found in the gift, last
year by private persons of one huridred
and seven million dollars to schools
and libraries, and in the recent organi
zatlon of the Southern and General Ed
ucational boards. The present "Bra of
Good Feeling" surpasses that in the
days of Monroe.
In education, as elsewhere, the' period
of provincialism is past. The efforts of
bodies like the National Council of Ed
ucational Review, have made disreput
able the bestowal of certain degrees ex
cept upon a basis of work done in ad
equately equipped institutions. Asso
ciations covering great areas Tike the
Middle States or the Southern States
adopt, enforce, and accept common
entrance requirements for admission to
college, and seek uniformaty in the
value of degrees. The National Bureau
of Education gathers statistics in the
remotest hamlets, and publishes to the
world the facts concerning the weakest
as well as concerning the strongest
and the .best.
Our denominational schools cannot
escape testing. From the university
to the kindergarten they are on. trial
in the educational courts of the coun
try. Now and agalin we hear the rumor
that they will all be speedily con
demned. If they cannot show high
standard's of instruction and gradua
tion, adequate equipment for the work
undertaken, sympathy with the present
struggles and aspirations .of men,
adaptation to the national needs, they
will naturally expect sentence of
death.
The great educational revival of the
present with its demand for highly
trained tea'chers, variety of courses of
instruction, costly libraries, laborato
ries, apparatus, gymnasiums and gen
eral equipment seem to them! to make
the situation only more distressing.
Another is appointed to discuss this
theme more fully, but I may point out
some reasons in favor of the denomi
national school, especially the college,
which seem pertinent at the present
time .
The denominational college today is
in a true and important sense a state,
though not a state-aided, institution.
It is organized under the laws of the
state, conforms to these lalws, prepares
men and women for public service, for
all the professions, includingf teaching,
and in all other respects compares fa
vorably with the state-aided institu
tions as a bulwark of 'the common
wealth. For this great and pervasive
public service, the denominational col
lege neither asks nor receives money
from the public treasury.
When there shall be found sustained
and active Christianity apart from de
nominations, then we may believe that
the day of the distinctively Christian
college is over. Christianity may per
vade a state-aided institution, and I
bear glad testimony to the fact this is
at present true of excellent institutions
in Virginia and neighboring states, but
it is there informally, by suffrance and
(by inherent right. It is there because
certain Christian imen are now mem
bers of the faculties."
Rev. E. M. Poteat of Philadelphia
next addressed the meeting, the main
thought in his speech being the advis
ability of the specialist in the pulpit
and the necessity of thoroughly equip
ping the young ministers with the best
education to be had.
Dr. Whitman of Virginia pronounced
the benediction.

New York, May 8. Notwithstand
ing denials that hare been made that

The Herald declares that, from a

ed negotiations for the consolidation
of these roads are pending and that
a definite statement of the detailed
plan will be forthcoming at no distant

President McDoel, of the Monon,
who denied on Monday that his road
would be controlled by the Louisville
and Nashville, at the same time admit
ted that it would be for the mutual
benefit of both roads if they were op
erated in harmony.
Under such an arrangement the
Louisville and Nashville would have
a direct inlet to Chicago and a new
system, with almost a direct line from
Lake Michigan to the Gulf of Mexico
would be established, with about 5,700
miles of track.

Alabama 'Constitution fs Attacked Be.
4 n fore 'State Supreme Court. '
Montgomery, Ala., May 8.7-Wilford
H. Smith; of New York, the first and
only negro who ever appeared before
the supreme court of Alabama, has
filed in that court a petition for as
mandamus compelling the Montgom
ery county board of registrars to regis-,
ter a negro named Jackson W. Giles
and all other negroes who are, quali
fied. Giles makes the formal affidavit
that he is qualified and was turned
away by the registrars because he, is
a negro.
The petition is an. attack on the
constitutionality of both the grand
father and the understanding clauses,
being mainly directed against the pow
er of the registrars under the , latter
clause. It is declared that there are
75,000 negroes in the state - qualified
to register, practically all of whom are
rejected. The permanent plan'; which
has neither of the above clauses, is
argued to be unconstitutional because
by the life list of voters the temporary
is projected forward into the perma
nent scheme.
The petition not only asks a man
damus against the registrars, but that
the whole suffrage article shall be de
clared null and void. It is supported
by affidavits from a number of ne
groes in -several counties, all of whom
tell the same story.
