While the conference was concerned with the smaller secondary schools of the South, delegates were present from Hampton and Tuskegee.
The conference closed with the formation of a temporary organization consisting of W. D. Holtzclaw, president; Emma Wilson, vice-president, Leslie Pinckney Hill, secretary and treasurer, and four other board members W. A. Hunt, W. J. Edwards, W. T. B. Williams and O. L. Coleman. These officers are to hold a meeting in Atlanta on June 17, and will submit their conclusions to the larger body of school principals in November. It was the hope of the meeting that a practical plan of co-operation might be presented.
THE RURAL CHURCH
In some great day
The Country Church
Will find its voice
And it will say:
“I stand in the fields
Where the wide earth yields
Her bounties of fruit and grain;
