teachers, embracing this opportunity to
put their attainments and ex De rience to
The utmost account in the services of
God and humanity.
lt is common mistake to suppose
that aBy sort of teaching is good
enough for beginners. Modern edu-
Gators are realizing that the important
teaching is not the end OF g course but
at the beginning, that the important
thing Is not the superstructure but the
foundation, without which the super
structure can be neither genuine nor
permanent. With this thoroughly
modern idea in education, Roger vii
liams University gives no place TO
student instructors. All classes, and
the hum blest members of the lowest
class come under the personal in.
structIon aud Influence of some of the
best teachers Of the entire faculty.
The schC o. has felt the inevitable mis-
fortune of several unavoidable changes
to-the Executive within the past few
years. The present incumbent, who
assumed the presidency in September
last, though still young man, has as
will be seen by the sketch following,
some eminent qualifications for this
responsible position. He has taken up
the work with vigor, and has already
several important plans for the en-
largemept and upbuilding OF the Uni
versity. The Home Mission Monthly
