RALEIGH, N, C, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 13, 1906. PRICE 5c: SPEAKERS STIR THE TEACHERS "Professional Musician" Most Dangerous Calling METHODS CRITICIZED Miss Parish Regards Many Methods As Useless Itcjks of Another Age. Dr. Smith's Hopeful Address On "Educational Statesmanship" Message From Governor Glenn. More than BOO educators assembled In Pullon hall ut the A. and M. Col lege this morning, for the second ses sion of the twenty-third annual meet lug of tho North Carolina Teachers' Assembly. Rain was falling In torrents but the atttendanee was surprisingly larec. . The featui-es today were addresses on "Some of tho defects of our system of common school education,' by Miss Ce lestla Parish of the Georgia State Nor mal School; on "Bducationalr States manship m the South." by Dr. C. Al phonso Smith of the University of North Carolina and a letter from Gov ernor Glenn to the assembly tn which he eulogized the work of the teachers and pledged to them his hearty and whole soulcd cooperation and aid. The address by Miss Parish border ed on a sensation. She is a keen thinker and observer and her taiK mis morning was a severe criticism manv school methods now in voguo which sho characterized as fossils, methods which have outlived their use fulness. In the course of this remark nblo address Miss Parish gavo as her conviction that the duties of wife and mother wore the highest calling to wo man, yet the education of gills seems to lake no account of thi3 calling. Here 1 ho little smattering of French and music came in for an indictment from the speaker. A proper knowledge of child life and of physics and practical chemistry she considered for more lnv tint'tfint. -- ; " "While I have no 'desire .for our southern girls to become preachers and In wvpr.1 . declared Miss Parish, "still I should far rather my daughter be ranio a lawyer than a professional mu slclan. Far more dangerous, insiduous mill rti.hnslnir Iniluences surround th mnffsxlnnnl musician than surround tho woman lawyer." Dr. Smith's address was optimistic and thoroughly hopeful. In the Edu rational Statesmanship of the South' he saw the dawn of a new and brighter dav. The speaker paid his respects to Wardamanism" which has no place as he sees it in the-glorious tomorrow of the south. When President W. T. Whltsctt call ed the assembly to order and Rev. W. W. Davis offered prayer Superintend ent J. Y. Jnyner read the following let ter from Governor Glenn: Letter From Governor Glenn. To the Members of the North Carolina Teachers Assembly: Ladles and Gentlemen: It had been niv Intention and earnest desire to have extended to you, both personally rtnd collectively, a most cordial 'wel come to our capital city, and to wish for each of you a most profitable and pleasant stay -while in our midst, but on account of sickness and acting under orders from my; physician I am prevented from appearing before you or even being present, at the reception given tonight in your honor, so through the medium of a short letter I have to assure you of my interest In you and to express to you my appreciation of' the great work you are doing for our state. To simply say that you are engaged in doing a great work for North Caro lina would be trite and commonplace, but if I should add the superlative de gree and i. say, that.; notwithstanding the many great works now going on in our midst, you are doing tho great est of all, this would perhaps convey to you my estimate of your noble calling. .. -' . I would not underrate wBat others are" doing in many ways for the up-l building and enrichment of the state, for by this time it Is well-known throughout North Carolina that my platform consists of four planks Agri cultural Improvement, Industrial De velopment, Educational Power and Moral Growth, and I have tried to do hll that I could to advance these vari ous Interests, but truth" compels us to admit that ' without an educated brain but little can be accomplished In tho other fields mentioned, for if physi cal strength is all that a man and a woman possess, they accomplish little for progress or advancement, but are content merely to exist. L But with Ihe brain trained and educated they be come ambitious arc Impelled to go forward and put Into practical execu tion the knowledge they have gained, applying It to farming. Industrial work, moral progress and alt things that go to mark a new era in the history of people. -' Looking at-the many .obstacles T In your way, such as poor school houses. Inferior equipment, short terms and many other disadvantages,! I believe I can truly say that for the amount they receive tho teachers of North Carolina are the poorest paid for what they ac complish ot any class of workers in tho state. Much has already been done, and In the future I hope we will see still better school houses, more per fect, equipment, longer terms brought about, by local taxation and higher salaries, thus insuring both In the city and the country better facilities than no even now enjoy. All good men and women today should be awake to the Importance of training the minds of their children. and if any are to be found who are so blind to the Interests of ihelr loved ones as to be willing to dwarf their bodies and minds by compelling them to work, . while of tender ago, I sin-. cerely trust that this, law wl',1 step In and ; compel such people to send their children to school until they arrive at the ago of twelve or fourteen years, for ordinarily parents who have to use th6 little pittance earned, by their children to eke out for themselves a scanty living, arc lit subjects to be cared for in the county homes or to learn lessons In Industry, taught under the vagrancy act. Education gives power and strength, and wise parent!) should realize that In educating their children they are preparing them to better fulfill the requirements of life, to provide for their future and to be come more useful citizens, than they themselves on account of their Ignor unco have had the opportunity of be coming. No workers in the educational field do better service than the teachers In the city nnd country public schools, for they reach all grades and conditions of children, thus forming tho charac ter of men and women who are to fill every station in life. Again regretting that I cannot be with you I close this message by ex pressing tho hope that during your stay in our midst you may learn les sons of great value and may return home fired with new zeal for your work and be better able to Impart to the youth committed to your care loftier Ideas and aspirations stimu lating thorn to renewed efforts in their studies nnd Inspiring them with am bition to use their acquired knowledge in the service of their state, their coun try and their God, With best wishes for all, I am, . Sincerely yours, It. B. GLENN, ' I Governor. Defects In Common Schools. In speaking on "Some defects In our common Schools" Miss Celestia S. Parish, of the Georgia State Normal School, pointed out that in every move forward some remnants of the out grown or old system remained. Just us decay is coincident with develop ment.

He went to Alex Hhrgls' houso nnd Hargis asked what the shooting was Jett continues the story in. these words: "I said I did rot know, and Uncle Alex said 'Let's go down and see If Jim or any of them are hurt.' Uncle Alex stopped at Jim's garden fence, I gueys he was afraid to run in. but I was fearless and did not care, you know, and I went into tho yard, and toi the shadow of the smoke-house-moon as bright as day, I shall never forget it stood Ed Callahan, Jim Hargis. Blil Britton, Jesse Spleer and Elbert Hursts, with two shotguns; I saw no plsfols." ' Jett closes his confession by saying that he has told the "plain truth, noth ing more and nothing less."

" (By the Associated Press.) Washington, June 13. The republican steering committee of the senate met today and considered tho question of an adjournment of congress as soon as possible after next. .-week". The com mittee was in session for an hour and adjourned convinced that nothing statids in, the way of such a program. It was stated that every important matter before cither branch practically is ready for conference except ths sundry civil and general deficiency ap propriation . bills and -the isthmian canal type bill. If rapid progress is made by the house with the appro priation bills Senator Ka'.e, who will have charge of both of these measures in the senate,, believes they can be disMscd of by Monday, June 25, or Wednesday, the 27, at the latest. That would permit of an adjournment on the 27th or 2Sth. The program thus arranged contemplates a vote on the canal typo bill in the scnate.but no further action until the next session. Senator Spooner, with seeming au thority nude the statement at the meeting today that the appropriation for the canal, carried by the sundry civil bill can be expended with equal advantage during tho coming year for a lock canal or a sea level canal, and that Chief Engineer Stevens can go ahead doing work which would be necessary to either type. It is agreed that congress cannot dispose of this question at the present session in view of the oo!itiv.ry,opif'!iK of the twp mancnes. -j ne v. no in tne senato it is believed, Will result in a decision in favor -of a sea level canal. In this event It Is expected the administration in work done on the isthmus would not commit itself to either type. Statehood, railroad rate, meat in spection and bills relating to a number of other subjects of great public Inter est were considered by the steering committee, but It was the opinion tha.1 all of these matters had reached i stages that will-offer no obstacles to adjournment at an early date. The meat inspection bill Is the only one of these that 'Is not already in conference and the house committee has about concluded its consideration of this sub ject. When that has been done it will go to conference. There are no .'bills on. the calendar schedu'cvl for consid eration at this session that are re garded as likely to lead to prolonged discussion.

Va., yesterday afternoon by order of Governor Swanson to protect the prisoner in tho Eastvllle Jail and prevent his being lynched by the angry mob of Mnrylandcrs who had come down the peninsula from the scene ot the crime just across the Virginia border duiing yesterday. V Lee, upon being landed here this morning, was committed at once to the Norfolk city Jail, where he at 10 a. in. admitted to an Associated Press representative that, he had made a con fession this morning to Deputy Sheriff Charles Lankford of Northampton county, Va., who was the only civilian official to accompany the prisoner from Eastvllle across the bay to Norfolk.

But for the prompt action of Gover nor Swanson In ca.11lng out the militia and the timely arrival of the troops In Kastville just before dark last night the' negro.

Their Intention, a special to the Ledger-Dispatch from Eastvllle says, wan not. to lynch the negro on Virginia soil, but to take him by force if necessary and carry him across the Maryland bonier into Somerset county, Md.. and there lynch him. The Mary landers' have returned from Eastville to their homes In Somerset, and tha excitement in Eastvllle has largely subsided. The excitement In Somerset, however, is still great.
