MINISTER'S KICK.
The State School Commissioner
Charged With Discriminating
Against BaptistS.

At the regular meeting Monday
morning, several members of the At
lanta, Ca, Baptist Minister'S confer
ence jumped on State School Commis-
sioner Glenn for alleged discrimina-
tion.
The matter was brought up by Rev.
s. Y. Jameson, corresponding secre-
tary of the state mission board, who
stated that he had learned that the an-
nual report of Commissioner Glenn IN
enumerating the different schools and
colleges of Georgia ignored Mercer
University, Cox college and several
other Baptist schools in the state.
Mr.. Jameson thought such an error
should be corrected and brought the
matter to the attention of the Atlanta
ministers. The statement was as If a
bomb had been thrown into the peace
full and quiet meeting and much feel
ing was manifest by the speakers who
followed Mr.. Jameson.
There were two or three members
of the board of trustees of Mercer uni
versity present, and upon their prom
ising to make an immediate inVestiga'
ton the conference decided to take no
action in the matter for the present.
State School Commissioner Glenn
was attending a meeting of educators
in Chicago, and could not be seen re-
garding the charges made at the min
isters' meeting.
Assistant Commissioner Woodall,
of the department, who is familiar
with all the executive business con-
nected with the publication OF the re-
port, when asked, said:
'I am surprised at the charges Of
the Baptist ministers. There is not

for or against any denomination IL

department. Moreover, Commissions
Glenn has always sought to preven'
any such occurrence in the admins
tration of county school affairs"
