TODAY'S GENERAL SESSION ADDRESSED BY DR. WRIGHT "The Trained Teacher" the Subject of a Helpful and Able Talk N The Departmental Sessions. T HE general session of the North Carolina teachers assembly . to day was featured by an address on "The Trained Teacher," by Presi dent R. H. Wright of the Eastern Training school, and a review of the educational work of the past year, presented by Supt. Charles L. Coon of the Wilson Graded schools. There were fully 500 teachers In the audito rium this morning and a conservative estimate will place the number of teachers here at from 550 to 600. A number came in on the afternoon trains. W. J. Bplllman of the United States department of agriculture, who was to have spoken ut the morning session, failed to appear and his place was acceptably (Hied by Prof. Wright. In discussing "The Trained Teacher," ho divided his subject into several heads. The requirements of u train ed teacher, he Baid, Is thorough knowl edge of subject matter; an ability to Impart knowledge, possessing a tech nical skill, and he must have a pro fessional spirit. The natural love for teaching and the skill were empha sized by the speaker. lie believes that teachers ure born, not made. Spirit Is the life principle, the irtotor power, tho vivacity, und a person who posses ses It soea opportunity and acts res ponslvely and It quickens the mental activities. He believes that since the tea .her plays such an Important part In shaping the destinies of the nation and of tho age, that the state, viewing It from the . economical standpoint, oWi 111 afford to neglect the educa tion of Its teachers. Careful attention awa given the speaker and he was greeted with ap plause at the conclusion of his thoughtful, address. Committee on History and Progress. The report of the committee on the history and progress of education dur ing the year 1909-1910 was made by Supt. C. L. Coon of the Wilson graded schools, Mr. Coon's report was rather lengthy and gave In detail almost every feature of school advancement during the year-. He first discussed the training of teachers, giving a list of the professional schools which had been established during the year. At the head of the list stands the eastern Carolina Teachers Training school at Oreenvllle. A department of educa tion had been established at Wake Forest college and at the recent com mencement of the University the trus tees of the institution laid plans for a department of education In that Insti tution. During the past, year, the Stonewall Jackson training school has greatly Increased Its facilities. Sue ressful teachers' meetings have been held In nearly all the counties and two weeks institutes will be held In nearly all the counties during the summer months. Among the new schools established this year have been the Mt. Ollead school In Montgomery county; Patter- eon Farm school In Caldwell county; the Elade Valley school In Alleghany county. During the year students of vtake Forest college have conducted a night school at the Glen Royal Cot ton mills of Wake Forest. Night schools for cotton mill operatives have also been established at Belmont, Mc Adensvtlle, Bessemer City, Gaston county. During the year Catawba col lege has ceased to be a co-educatlonal Institution. Plana are on foot to con nlldate Inolr college and the Mt. Pleasant Collegiate Institute: these are the two schools of the Lutherans of North Carolina. The Baptist Unlver "Ity for Women at Raleigh has be come Meredith college. During the year, the women clubs nave been active In publishing school statistics. At the conference of educa- tlon held at Little Rock, Ark., the following North Carolinians were on the pntgram: Dr. R. H. Lewis, Bupt. J. Y. Joyner, Dr. F. U Stevens and Mrs. W. R. Hollowell. An average of one school house has been built for each day of the year ' and a local tax has been voted for school purposes every other day of the year. In closing the report, Mr. Coon urg ed upon the teachers and school ottl clala the necessity of preserving all historical data in regard to school progress. His report will be published in run. Departmental Setwlona. The routine word of. the assembly began this morning with the meeting of the various departments but the speakers handled their topics In such interesting manner that any idea of routine was forgotten. The department of elementary edu cation met In the Auditorium. The general topic was "Child study In M relation to the course of study." The particular topic considered at today's un was "The adaptation of in course of study to the environment of the child." "The child In the rural community" was discussed In an Il luminating manner by MlM Lena Young of the East iurhm schools, Continued on page 4) -Av , 'tp:,rO'i I .rw - zuAJm QU1ET Sl TT AUbakd concert or FRIENDLY BOUT GUILDHALL SPEECH WAS PREMEDITATED Foreign Secretary Admits He Read It, and Says It Cave Him Very - Great Pleasure. London, June 15. Replying mi Interpellation by Sir Henry Dul.lil In the House of Commons retarding the government's Egyptian policy, which Theodore Roosevelt in his Guildhall speech asserted was characterized by an excess of leniency und sentimentali ty. Sir Edward Grey, the foreign sec retary, emphatically stated that Sir El- den Gorst, the tirltlsh ugent und con sul general in Egypt, hud the complete confidence of the government. Sir Henry thereupon requested the foreign secretary to send a copy of his reply to Mr. Roosevelt. Sir Edward Grey answered thut he could see no reason for doing anything of the kind. Since the delivery of Mr. Roosevelt's speech it has been considered Inevita ble that the conservatives would take advantage of the opportunity to attack the government's policy In its African dependency. Sir Henry Dalzlel is u lib eral of advanced political views und last week he announced thut he would bring the matter to an Issue by asking whether the government had lust con fidence In Its agent. Accordingly he asked the foreign secretary to state the relations be tween the foreign office and Sir El den and the attitude of the govern ment toward Sir Elden's administra tion of affairs In Egypt. Sir Edward Grey, who entertained Mr. Roosevelt during the Hist day of his visit here, was prepared for the question und replied brifly but pohI- tlvely that Sir Elden Gorst possessed the complete confidence of the gov ernment. Then he added that he was unaware that anything had occurred and thut anything had been sulil to arouse a misapprehension. It 1'lKHMnl Kir Edward.

Its friendly Intention was obvious, and, taken as a whele, It was the greatest compliment to the work of one coun try ever paid by a rltlsen of another. "There Is nothing in the present situation In Egypt to oernslon disquiet or Justify a sudden resort to unusual methods, but If the symptoms, already noted, of antl-Brltlah agitation con tinue, the government will take meas ures to assert Its authority and pro tect the Egyptlun Ministers who fil lo tlm governmunt's advice." Interpellations were submitted In the house during the course of the day bearing on the same subject, to which the secretary for foreign affairs made a brief reply. 'liiterferciM-e." Some of the liberal memlers de nounced what they termed "Mr. Roosevelt's interference." Arthur J. Balfour. leader of the op position, expressed . warm apprecia tion of Mr. Roosevelt s treatment or the subject, which he termed "sympa thetic and kindly." There was noth tne In the speech, he said, to which the most sensitive Briton could take exception.

HARRIS TESTIFIES IN HIS 01 BEHALF Says He Fired in Self Defense the Shot That Killed Associate Editor of the Virginian. ! Manassas, Va., June 15. Prof. J. D. Harris, formerly principal of War renton high school, testified In his own liehulf ut his trial for the mur- cr of W. A. Thompson, associate edi tor of the Warrenton Virginian who was shot in Warrenton April 24, 1909. le said he fired the fatal sht In self efense. Mrs. Thompson, the widow of the murdered man, was the last witness for the commonwealth, which rested Its case, today. Members of the grand Jury which. Indicted Harris testified that Irving Maxhelmer, brother-in-law of the dead man, ,satd when giving testi mony before them that he had seen no pistol or the glitter of a pistol dur- ng the struggle which culminated In Thompson' death. This was contra dictory to the testimony given by Maxhelmer on the stand when he said that he sow a revolver in Harris' hand while he waa fighting with Thompson In a Warrenton street and that he took the weapon from him after the shooting. H. II. King testi fied that he saw Maxhelmer endeav oring to separate the romlmtanta and saw the revolver in Harris' hand. W. It. Lucas and K. M. Alexander, pro- irletors of a Warrenton hotel, told of having wen Thompson ut the hotel . the evening of the shooting, and thny believed him to have been somewhat under the Influence of liquor. This was corrolairated by testimony of Po lice Sergeant Shirley of Warrenton. Severn! witnesses related details of an attack made upon Harris by Thomp son In Warrenton In September, 108. In which the former used abusive language. Albert Fletcher testified that he heard Thompson any to one of his friends who Interf erred In the fight: You ought to have let me brat the little North Carolina to death." t fit t MISl SK OF THE MAILS.
