Baptist Educational Convention.

The discussions, at the recent session of this
body in Richmond, were interesting and in
structivs,ss Had We space, we would cheerful
ly rcpublish the proceedings Of the Conyen-
ton in full, as reported in the Richmond pa
pers. On the question of the comparative
merits of prescribed and elective studies in
higher education, Prof, John Hart, Staun-
ton, Va, read, "a thoughtful and terse essay
on the subject. After some preliminary re-
marks he defined the. education referred to
in the statement Of the question to be that
which educates man as man, without a main
reference to- any special calling in life. 1t
lies between acadezaical training and profess
sional training. Passing by other questions
which readily suggest themselves, the profess
or addressed himself to the simple inquiry !:
Shall the college prescribe or the student
elect. the course ofstudy to be pursued? He
pronounced himself opposed to allowing
At the age at which they usually enter col
lege, they areatoo often incompetent to make
judicious selection of studies. With the
student prepared for a regular university, it
may be different; but the introduction of the
university system into training schools is a
crying evil It is doHe to meet demand
for what is called practical education" and,
to meet which also there are now established
commercial colleges which guarantee to turn
out thorough business man in few months,
and sgricultural.c colleges which furnish ready
made scientific farmers. It does not seem
to enter the minds Of many that liberal ed
ucation and enlarged culture will be, useful
to man in any profession or any trade
What are the available means of rectifying
this mistake The only remdy is found in a
correct public sentiment. Parents must be
made to see that the youth Of their boys is
better spent, in developing the man in un-
yelling the hidden lawyer, doctor, or mechan-
ic. Colleges must adopt such system as will
give conspicuous advantages to such as pur-
sue the whole course rather than those who
become proficient in few branches of learn
ing. The same principle must be observed:
too in the selection Of a faculty, and if posi-
BILE the government in the distribution of Of
fees. It is wise thing also for colleges to
secure scholarships in the best profess. onal
institutions, which shall be bestowed upon
students who take the complete course, and
thus acquire tincture CT generous culture.
Attractive inducements must be offered, for
otherwise 1t is against humaI nature to pur-
sue such course. Colleges must also be put
upon a better financial basis, SO that faculties
may be more independent, and there must be
concert of action between the colleges.
Ia conclusion, Prof Hart said he would
not be understood as being an advocate of the
curriculum under all circumstances. There
we're features of that system which he could
net approve; but to the elective system in
ordinary colleges he was still more opposed

Home Manufactures,

We direct attention to the following
suggestive letter, written by Col. j., NJ.
McCuc, Of Augusta, to the Richmond Far
naer- and Planter. The information con-
tanned in the extracts from Mr.. Griffith S
letter should not go UNDECIDED. The Deaf
and Dumb and Blind, and Insane tnstitu-
tions, located at.Staunton, might profit by
examining into the matter Of wearing APP
parel for their inmates. Wherever it can
be done without a sacrifice, we think it,

tories. 81 .ef sa a aaf e
Messrs. Editors You exhibit praise
worthy effort ia giving history Of the man
ufacturcs of Virginia, and in the last num-
Der Of your useful journal gave some facts
in regard to Mr.. Marchant's factory near
Charlottesville aa {"
Permit me to furnish you some data 10
regard to one of the oldest wooden factories
in Virginia, the ''Brookland," on Abram S
creek, about three miles south Of Winchester,
where Mr.. A. H. Griffith has been engaged
since the spring Of 1925 in making, such
goods as cloth, cassinet, flannel, blankets
earpeting, stocking yarn, &c. The surplus
over home demand he has sold in Northern
cities Fl has worked Virginia wool cx-
clusyely, and he says the strength of its sta
pie is equal to any other with which he is
acquainted. He uses no foreign or cheap
ening substitutes. When in regular opera
ton he works up about 100 pounds of wool
per day of common, Of Merino not quite SO
much. Averaging the heavier and lighter
goods the product is about one yard of cloth
to the pound Of wool. In full operation
about ten or twelve hands are required
Mr.. Griffith, who belongs to the Society Of
Friends, in a letter of late date to the wri-
ter says sowing to various causes, business
since the war has not been so good in my line
as before and the prospect in the future does
not look encouraging. The main cause Of
this, however, is for want of home patron
age and home encouragement. People gen
orally do not fully appreciate the difference
between goods made from home gro,cn acoo1
and those in which large pei. cent of shod-
dy and flock are used This latter being Of
ten sold at prices not exceeding the value Of
good acool in the raw state This is damag.
ing to manufactures and discouraeing in the
production of honest goods. Unfortunately
for our native mechanics, people generally
patronize foreign trades more literally, and
pay more promptly than for home productions
This, think, is evidenced by the anguish
ing condition Of the many industrial pur-
suits, which will naturally occur to thy own
mind" as& .te. .ss
Mr.. Griffith says there are several public
institutions in this State which he would be
glad to supply with substantial goods, and
thinks he could furnish them on as fair term:
as they ought to desire. From my knowl
| edge of his factory and his character for TWEEN
ty years, would fully endorse his remark. p
Respectfully, J NJ McCUE.
