Will Teach More Practical Subject Nashville. Tenn„ July l!8.—Ttie following states were Vo presented here in an organization perfected to day for the purpose of increasing the efficiency of the schools by giv ing a more practical direction fd the subjects already tanghi nnd to the subjects to be taught: Texas. Vir ginia. AlabajjMr; Louisiana. North Carolina. Arkansas. Oklahoma. Ten nessee. Mississippi. Georgia, Soutl Carolina and Kentucky. The officers elected were Dr. Bruce R. Payne, George Peabody College fqr Teachers, president; Pr. J. J. Doyne; ‘ Conway. Arkansas, State Normal School, vice-president, and Miss Christine South. North Texas State Normal School, secre tary-treasurer. The attendance was very large, and the association continued through two days. The controlling idea engaging the attention of the educators present was that the South is in need of more teachers who are not only trained in the usual sub jects. but who have in addition, a practical .ability in the organization of subject-matter so that it mjcf be adapted better to the rfced* of the schools of the South, and to the various types of students taught in this region. It was felt.-JtTso. that the courae of study both in public high schools, and in higher institu tions of learning/rould be greatly i:Wproved by giving more appro- priate value to otUer subjects that ere not now receiving their just share of the time t llotmei.t in the rrqgrrani of studies. The purpose of the association will he to associate in co-operative endeavor all the forces in the South which* may be willing to work for dhe promotion of more suitable cur ricula for high schools, normal schools, technological schools, col ieges r.nd* universities, and for ma terially increasing the technical and Jlfcdagngkal - training of tethers ipon whose shoulders will fall the bard- n of preparing citizens for Tv, >3R the new era into which the South, along with the rest of the wo: r;. will 1-t hurled immediately after the wn;. 4c :jc -Jf. ^c :]( :,i DEATHS ******* * ******** IL \V.
