Ragsdale Elected to the Presidency. Prof. P. P. Claxton on Training of Teachers. the ADDRESS BY PRESIDENT AL DERMAN OfTHE UNIVER SITY OF N. C. The opening exercises of the Teach- ers' assembly this morning were con ducted by Rev. E. L. Bain, pastor of North Asheville Methodist church, President Graham then appointed the committee on "a course of English and Literature for the schools" to report at the next session of the assembly. The committee is as follows: Prof. Edwin Mims, Trinity college; Prof. J. Y. Joyner, State Normal col lege; Prof. Thomas Hume, University of North Carolina; Prof. W. T. Whitsett, Whitsett institute; Prof. J. D. Eggle- ston, jr., Asheville city schools; Prof. B. T. Stedd, Wake Forest college; Prof. T. H. Harrison, Davidson college, and Principal J. A. Bivins, Charlotte gTaded schools. Prof. P. P. Claxton then spoke upon the training of teachers in the normal schools. In the past, said Prof. Clax ton, anyone could be a good teacher. The only recommendation was to be able to read and write a little and to have lost an arm or limb in the service of one's country. A little later a cer tain amount of knowedge was required. It was thought that anyone who had gone over a course of study was fitted to teach it, in his turn. The next step was to demand a knowledge of the sub ject and some methods. This was the beginning o the normal system. First, to be a teacher, one must be a man or woman. Now the teacher is coming to be regarded as the seed corn to be planted from whom the harvest of future men and 'women is to be ob tained. Second, maturity of character is considered of great importance. Third, scholarship is demanded. One should have a broad and deep educa tion, general scholarship, and an inter est in literature and science. Then the teacher should have special knowledge, a thorough knowedge of the subject to be taught, from the teacher's stand point. This is the idea that has taken the strongest hold wherever the nor mal school is established. Prof. Claxton said that when he be gan to teach he could not have stood a careful examination on the subjects he was about to teach. "I doubt," said he, "that Dr. Alderman could have stood an examination at the beginning of his teaching." Mr. Alderman, sitting neat the speaker, assured him that he could, but Prof. Claxton took the liberty to doubt it. In Germany two-thirds of the time is given in the normal train ing schools in teaching the teachers the elementary branches. 1 noia said Prof. Claxton, "that the teacher who cannot teach any subject in ner iac room without the text book, is not a teacher. As it is impossible to have a soecialist to teach every sub ject in the public schools the teachers should be specialists in all elemental y subjects. "The time the children stay in school is limited; but not the quick method of teaching is best, but the sure meth od. The teacher should know some quick, good, sure device to impart knowledge. This means a knowl edge of methods. Greatest of all, teaching is not a process of imitation; one cannot watch a teacher teach anc then imitate him, any more than one can watch a physician in his daily rounds and from that experience be come a physician. A knowledge of psy chological principles should also be a part of the teacher's equipment. How may the State provide trained teach ers for its thousands of public schools'. I believe that in connection with tht schools already established or a special school a thorough course or a special elementary studies, with a practice school in connection with it, should be established, the course to be divided into four months each. Then that the State should pass a law that six years from the establishment no teachers should be accepted who had not com pleted this course." SUPERINTENDENT MEBANE. Hon. Chas. H. Mebane, State Superin tendent of schools, spoke an earnest word for a union of forces between all the schools in the State, public and pri vate, and for the removal of public school work from party politics. As to the township system, Mr. Mebane said that, taken as a whole, it is the best school law we have had in this State. After a brief intermission President Alderman of the University of North Carolina followed. He said: "As to the three great questions prominent be fore the assembly, local taxation, a bet ter supervision of schools and an or ganic union of the primary and secon dary schools and colleges, the Univer sity stands for the better and higher education, and feels the importance of the closer union of the different schools." Mr. Alderman gave an Interesting ac count of the great Mohammedan uni versity in Cairo, with 14,000 pupils, boys and girls. In this institution Mr. Alder man said he found in the primary de partment a teacher lying asleep on a ihiie his dupUs were eagerly and frantically at work. Here, too, Mr Alderman bought a slate ana qu.ru one of the pupils to write upon It in rabic: "There is but one God and Allah is his prophet." This, he was as sured, could not be done for a "Chris tian dog." The dragoman of the inscribed the sentence upon the slate, but one of the twcfcm seeing the inscription, snatched the slate from Mr. Alderman's hand, and U was only restored after a violent al tercation between the teachers and dragoman, and the party was requested to leave. At a future visit, however. Mr. Alderman met with a pleasant re ception. In conclusion Mr. Awerma " V; "TTJ ed the Mohammedan college with ox. ford college, which he visited soon af . o,.' Antitheses of freedom and slavery. He also recalled his sensations, upon his arrival In New York froma foreign trip, and eulogised bur country. As Chancellor Kirkland. who was an nounced to speak this evening at the First Baptist church, sent word of ms inability to attend, the assembly pro ceed ea ro tne transaction of business. A resolution of Dr. Mclver's that the assembly appoint a committee of nine 10 petition tne general assembly for the establishment of a system of 10 supervisors, each to have general su pervision of about 10 counties and co operate with the State superintendent. was carried. Representatives of the schools for the deaf, dumb and blind in the State asked for aid in obtaining the names and ad dresses of defective children. OFFICERS. In the election of officers that fol lowed Prof. W. H. Ragsdale was elect ed president; Prof. Thompson of Statesville first vice-president, and Prof. W. T. Whitsett was re-elected secretary and treasurer. Profs. Edwin Mims, Eben Alexander, J. Allan Holt, E. B. Lewis, Mrs. M. O. Humphrey, Mrs. Frances Featherston, Mrs. N. B. McDowell and Miss Florence Stephen son were elected vice-presidents. A resolution of thanks offered by Prof. Ellis to the city officials and cit izens of Asheville. to the railways, the press, the executive committee, and President A. A. Jones of the College was adopted and the Teachers' assem bly of 1898 was adjourned. Prof. Graham deplored to The Citizen today the fact that from its account of his speech of Wednesday evening it might be inferred that he entertained unfriendly feelings towards Major Bingham. His deprecatory remarks, he said, were directed against "the origi nal source" in a speech made by Wal ter H. Page, acting editor of the Atlan tic Monthly, about a year ago. A PATRIOTIC INCIDENT FEDERAL SOLDIERS DO HONOR TO CONFEDERATE IN BRONZE JACKSONVILLE, June 17. The un veiling of the $20,000 Confederate monu ment yesterday marked one of the most patriotic incidents in our national an nals. It becomes a chapter in history strange in coincidence and remarkable in surroundings. Eighteen years ago on the piazza of one of the hotels of this city sat a sol dier, ex-President, while the citizens of Jacksonville passed and repassed. marking the presence of a statesman who had made the laurels of a victor unfading forever by proclaiming over a sea of bitertness: "Let us have peace." Today his grandson as a member of the staff of Gen. Lee stod within a few- feet of the same spot reviewing an army of soldiers in blue, veterans who had opposed each other on the battle fields and thousands of Floridians marching to do honor to a Confederate soldier in bronze who viewed with the cold atony eyes of the past a living chapter of our current history. A regimental band from the land of the old Yankees stepped proudly to the strains of a march and Old Glory waved in the Southern breeze. The new Yankees from North Carolian and Virginia, clad in blue, too, took up the echoes with the spirit stirring refrain of Dixie. Behind trooped the old Fed eral veterans, and then came the old Confederates under the stars and bars floating beside the stars and stripes peacefully; all the men over whom the banners floated grim but quiet, with eyes looking to the future and not to the past. Through the streets of a Southern city tramped an army in blue, led by Lee. in whose name and fame concen trated Southern history from the be einnine. On every hand the flag of a reunited country floated into the semi tropical sun. Veterans of both the blue and the gray remarked on every side that it was to their hearts delight to witness at last such a sight. It was an event that must become historic. THE Y. W. C. A. First Session of the Conference to be Held This Evening. The first session of the summer con ference of the Y. W. C. A. will be held this evening at the Ashevillle college. F. S. Brockman, traveling secretary of the Students' Volunteer movement is to be the speaker of the evening. The public are invited. Miss Parrish, of Randolph-Macon college, Lynchburg, Va., chairman ol the Southern committee, arrived thit morning. Miss Wilson, business mana ger of the conference, arrived yester day. Miss Rutherford, of the Lucy Cobb institute, Athens, Ga., and a member of the international committee: Mrs. McD. Wilson, Atlanta; Miss Taylor general secretary of the international committee, and Miss Laura Wild, edi tor of The Evangel, are prominent members of the conference who are here. The conference this year will be un usually large, about 80 members being almost certain to attend. ONE WHOLE CROW. A Bid Consigned to Prof. J. Wiley Shook. The quiet air of Collector Harkins' office was rudely disturbed this morn ing by the arrival of a crow. The bird came in a small box, a card attached indicating that the songster was for J. Wiley Shook and had been sent from Morganton. The appearance of the crow excited much speculation, but the significance was apparent. The sender evidently concluded that the celebrated Clyde politician was in the crow-eating busi ness and wanted to donate a fresh sup ply. That this is a correct interpreta tion of the matter is borne out by the fact that the box had pasted on one side a meat inspector's stamp. Crow eating has not been a favorite pastime of Col. Shook during late months, but he has maintained a stolid silence since he re-entered the service of the collector that, his friends joking ly say, tacitly amounts to a confession that he absorbed a good mess bf that dish. Picnic Postponed. The picnic of employes of the Ashe ville Street Railroad company, which was announced for this evening at Lookout park, has been postponed to a date to be fixed later, because of the unfavorable weather.

The War Department expects to utilize approx imately 35 transports in the expedition for the invasion of Porto Rico. This statement is made officially.

The es timate is made that the 35 vessels will carry between 15,000 and 20,000 men with their equipments and subsistence. Army officials say that reports which have been received from reliable sources show that the number of Span ish soldiers in that country is prob ably 10,000 men, although their state ments indicate that there is consider ably less than the number. It is stated positively that the em barkation point for the troops for Por to Rico has not yet been finally deter mined, and will not be until Secretary Alger and the President have had an opportunity to confer with Major Gen eral Miles, who will return to the city today.

I Desperate Situation of People of Manila. SHORT OF FOOD AND INSUR GENTS FIRING INTO THE CITY. MANILA, June 5. The insurgents are gaining Everywhere and are now firing into Manila itself. It is officially admitted here that the shortage of food has become a serious matter. Gunboats sent into the lagpon to search for food have returned with out procuring any. NEW YORK, June 17. A special ca blegram from Hong Kong to the Jour nal says: i The most severe and Important battle since Admiral Dewey annihilated the Spanish fleet has occurred at Manila. One thousand insurgents attacked 2000 Spaniards, Inflicting heavy losses' and almost forcing them from the city. The insurgents, under Aguinaldo and the American sailors and marines of Dewey's fleet, completely surround Ma nila. The foreign residents have fled to the ships. Admiral Montejo and Gov.-Gen. August! have placed the wo men, children and priests in the forts for safety. August! is reported as will ing to surrender to the Americans', in order to prevent the insurgents from capturing the capitol, setting it on fire and killing the Spaniards. The Arch bishop, however, is opposed to a sur render, and has overruled Augusti, The success of the insurgents was wonderful. The Spaniards, taken pris oners in the two weeks' campaign, ag gregate 3000 including 2000 soldiers of the regular army. Prominent among, them are Generals Garcia and Cordeba. The governors of the provinces of Cavite, Balucan and Bataan were also made prisoners. Two million rounds or car tridges were seized in the fortified ca thedral of the old Cavite. S The large garrison of the old Cavite has surrendered, thus giving the in surgents command of the shore of the entire bay. The Americans can take Manila within 24 hours after the ar rival of the troops. The city is even now at the mercy or tne American fleet. ! Admiral Dewey's conduct during the blockade has been admirable. A great fire is raging north of Ma nila- The insurgents have captured the waterworks of which the suppply of the city depends. MANILA, via Hong Kong, June 17. The Spanish power is crumbling in the Philippine islands. Gen.
