Dear Louis—best of kings to bear the name.
I think a smile still quivers on thy face
That oval-wise, soul-white and bravely strong,
Bears eyes, that look low loves and lives to shame.
Thou, unawares, hast learned new lore of upward ways,
And wondering taught the words—“The king can do no wrong.”
TRAINING SCHOOLS IN TENNESSEE AND THE SOUTH.

It is the purpose of this paper to describe an educational movement that has grown largely out of the influence of Vanderbilt University. In its relation toward secondary schools this institution has been impelled by the necessity of securing students. At the opening of the University there were two methods of procedure open. One was to put the requirements for admission at a point where they could easily be met even by untrained pupils; the other was to adopt a high standard, exclude unprepared students, and accept the burden of getting them ready to meet these requirements. It has been this latter policy that has brought about the vital connection between Vanderbilt University and a large number of preparatory schools.
