McGLOTHLJN DIRECTS AT TENTION TO' LEGISLATURE. NORTH CAROLINA AND MICH ICAN MEN SPEAK TO THE CONVENTION. Columbia, March 16.?That the teachers assembling in Columbia at the annual convention of the State Teachers' Association of South Garo lira should visit the State House and attempt to see what influences wrought on the recent Legislature, causing it "to disregard the wishes of the people in regard to public edu cation," was one *of the thoughts ex pressed by Dr. W. J. McGlothlin, president of Furman University, Greenville, in response to the ad dress of welcome at the initial ses sion of the convention held tonight. Educators from every seetion of South Carolina have been arriving in Columbia since last night. It is estimated that tonight fully 1,500 are on the scene and that between 1,800 and 2,000 will arrive before the closing session Saturday. The address of welcome was de livered by F. William Cappieman, president of the Columbia Chamber nf r.ommerrp. who told of the de UI iu O! b: ta as fl< ai w bt ve ec sp lii re gi fii ba light of the people of Columbia in entertaining the visitors. A happy and appropriate response was made by Dr. McGlothiin. Dr. C. E. Brooks, Superintendent of Education of North Carolina, spoke on the "Relation of Cost to the Organization" of the school system. In the organization of a school, he said, four things should be considered: What will the school accomplish in the community which it serves; how can it be organized to accomplish its purpose; what will its cost be, and from what sources can the revenue be derived?" The effec tiveness of the system' devolves a round the last question and the see* sd and third one depends on the fourth one, he claimed. In dealing with the various sub jects taught, Dr. Brooks made the /vknAnrn^iAn fVflf oio4t. BtfUUUg vvacMamvu wiav wv ve? teenth amendment to the national Constitution is the result of the teaching of physiology and hygiene in the public schools. Much of his speech was taken up with the economic side of education. The three essentials in child training he declared, are correct standards of physical, moral and cultural fitness. Dr. T. E. Johnson, Commissioner of Education of Michigan, was the other principal speaker. He chose as his subject "The Philosophy of the Teacher," and he based his dis course on three poems of Kipling. He told of the splendid idealism which threw America into the great war, spurred by the thought that it was an end of war, only to be disallusioned by the peoples of Eu trone and the American peace en voys disappointed that the great pur pose of the war could not be achieved The future, a peaceful one, to be hoped, he declared, is in the school room. He paid a glowing tribute to the teacher and spoke of the teach er's concept of duty to make a future | citizen of high standard. All'educa tion, he averred, is based on three I fundamentals?social, cultural and vocational progress.

Constantinople, March 16.?The Greek torpedo boat Naxoes, while pa trolling the Black Sea with other units of the Greek fleet, seized the steamship Africa, flying the Italian flag, off Ineboli. The Africa was tak en to Mudania where, after a three hours' search of the vessel, the Turk ish passengers, including the person nel of a Turkish sanitary corps, were declared prisoners of war. Rome, March 16.?Considerable excitement has been caused here by the news that Greek warships had stopped and searched the Italian steamships Umbria and Abbarizia, de taining the latter.

The French steamship Espoir re cently was released by Greece after ^ a sharp protest from France.# The ^ Greeks, however, retained the cargo ^ which they maintained was contra band of war destined for use of the S1 Turkish nationalist army, with which Ti Greece is at war.
