Excerpt from Proceedings of the Twelfth Conference for Education in the South, Atlanta, Georgia April 14-16, 1909 The great educators here gathered are all leading us in the same direction even though they point the way by different roads. We will grow in knowledge from free discussion. I deem it eminently proper that a successful business man should preside over an educational conference. There was a time when the professional educators, absorbed in their books, were too far away from the real problems of life, but that time is rapidly passing, and with the true educator it is already a thing of the past.
