This year, from one acre, a bale of
cotton has been picked, with some stu

SCHOOL.
The demand for an educated CHRIS
tian ministry Is constantly growing
throughout the country. To meet this
need a generous New York lady has
erected at Tuskegee, building known
as the Phelps Hall Bible Training
School, containing a chapel, library,
reading room, office 3 recitation rooms
and 400 sleeping rooms. Each room IS
comfortably furnished. The teaching IS
wholly underominational and Is free.
In the rapid growth along academic ana
industrial lines, the spiritual side of the
school has not been neglected. For ten
or twelve years there has been regu-
larly appointed chaplain to look after
the religious interests Of the school.
A Sunday School, n regular preaching
service, a large and enthusiastic Chrls-
tan Endeavor society, Young Mems
Christian Association, besides mis-
sionary society, Young women
Christian Temperance Union, Hu-
name Society, ETC., makes Tuskegee
real fountain of Christianity, under the
influence of which so many young men
and women have been brought to Christ
and have been influenced to nobler liv-
ing and more determined striving after
the highest ideals. Last year more than
$50 students were converted during the
week OF prayer and the week succeed
