The convention reassembled at 7:30 o'clock last evening. A large audience, including many members of Congress, was present, it havin been announced that Presilent A. D. White, 01 Cornell University, would deliver an address on the true policy of national and state dealings with advanced education, both secondary and superior. Present White, on being introduced, said that within the past thirty years there has been established in the United States a great system of industrial education in science jed to the various arts of industries. He alluded first to the various scattering enterprises tor the pur- i. especially to scientific schools at Yale and jarvard, and also in some oiher states. He dwelt upon the provision relating to mechanic: arts, and showed the losses arising from the present “rule-of-thumb” system, and gave ex- institutions for mechanical engineerin; Civil ae was next taken up, and the speaker alluded to the immense extent of the constantly-increasing railroad system; also, the great value of various national, state and municipal work in which mistakes have been made, involving a loss of millions of dollars, for the want of proper in- struction. After referring to the value of sauitary en- gineering, mining a and the pro- gress of architectare, President White spoke of chemistry as applied to manufacture, and the necessity of instruction in the arts of —-.

The public are not aware that e f y fabrics by cultivating taste and skill in design with fabrics made in America, which are | equally as good in material, but lacking in this taste and design. He spoke of the use of the laboratory in connection with the various sciences, and then enlarged upon the second part of his subject—the relation of the nation and the state to scientitic and industrial education. He referred to President argument, made before the association last meeting, and showed that individual m nificence, great as it is, is insufficient to do | what is required. He argued also that some | provision by the government is necessary in order that private munificence may be wisely directed and profitably aggregated. This is the ouly republican or democratic way for providing for public instruction. The address of President White was tre- quently applauded. The chair read an invitation from Mr. Law- rence Gardner, which was accepted, invitin, the delegates, with their lady friends, to atten: the Burns festival. | Senator Morrill, of Maine, being called upon | tor @ speech, said he was always pleased to be present at all gatherings in the interest of eda- cation. In this country there is a strong ambi- tion among the poor and laboring classes to rise | higher in intellectual circles. The laboring men ail the world over are clamorous for a uniform plan by which they can elevate thein- selves. All they want is an opportunity. It had been his ‘ambition to give to a iarger number of laboring men an opportunity of procuring a more finished educational strength and vigor. In concluding, he said that there never was a holier work than to educate men and women ol tor the social duties of life. On motion, Mr. Kickoff, of Ohio, was added to the committee on statistical farm To-day’s Proceedings, The department of superintendence of the nationa! educational association re-assembled at the hall of the House of Delegates at 10 o’clock this morning, with an increased attend- | ance of members. The audience was larger than yesterday, and @ number of ladies were | present. The department was called to order y Mr.J. H. Binford, the re«uest the Kev. Mr. S. S. Mitchell, of this city, opened the proceedings with prayer. | ‘The chair read a communication from the secretary of the Vermont state teachers’ as<o- ciation enclosing a resolution recently adopted by the association, endorsing the plan of giving the proceeds of the sale of public lands tor edu- cational purposes; referred to committee on national aid to education. Also, a communica- tion from Governor Shepherd inviting the de- partment to partake of lunch at his residence at half-past two o’clock this afternoon. The invi- tation of the Governor was accepted. Gen. read an invitation from Hon. Ho- ratio King inviting the department to be pres- | ent at a liter ary reunion to be given at his res- idence to-morrow night. The invitation was accepted. | Mr. J. O. Wilson extended an invitation to | the members of the department to visit the public schools of Washington during their stay in this city; also, an invitation to visit a literary entertainment to be given by the young ladies | connected with one of the advanced schools of Washington at the Seaton school building this president, at whose evening’ On motion of Mr. Philbrick, of Bos- ton, the thanks of the department were ten- dered to Mr. ison for his courtesy, and the invitations he extended were accepted. Mr. Bicknell desired to remind the depart- ment that the state teachers’ association of Rhode Island, passed a resolution similar to the one referred to by the secretary of the Vermont association. TBE CENTENNIAL. Gen. Eaton, from the committee on the Cen- tennial, reported progress, and said the com- mittee had given careful consideration to the subject avd were able to present at this time several recommendations. The recommenda- tions were— 1. That each state and territory be invited to prepare a representation ot its educational con- dition for the centenulal. 2. That each state and territory also be invit- ed to prepare a historical record of its edu tonal progress for the same purpose. 5. That each city be invited to act with the state authorities in preparing such records, and that it present an exhibit of its own educational 4. That each educational institution he invit- eq to participate in the same way. 5. That a census be taken in 1875. That the commissionerof education be requested, on respond with the prominent educators of the world, and invite their cooperation iu the mat- ter of the centennial. : 6. That an international educational con- grese be heid in connection with the centennial. ‘The report was accepted. Mr. Philbrick, of Boston, spoke at some length in relation to the Centennial, and re- Terred to the fact that the United States made the poorest exhibit of any country atthe Vienna exposition. and that one of the fest teatures of the American portion of the exhibition was the educational showing. And yet he said it re- mained tor Sweden to exhibit the best schoo! house at the exposition. He hoped the general government would appropriate $5,000,000 for { we approaching Centennial, Gen.

The resolutions were then taken up, and the first two were adopted. The third elicited con- siderable discussion, during which Gen. Eaton stated that General Hawley, president of the commission, an cbairman of the House Centennial were present, and suggested that discussion be suspended until these gentlemen could be heard The motion prevailed.
