sideration OF the proposed educational

port of the Committee on General Edu-
cation, of which Professor Hudnall is
the chairman, was made by that gentle
nan and opened the discussion of this
important matter.

the report touches but lightly here and
there, upon the most salient features of
the work The coordination scheme is
heartily endorsed. the committee refer
ring to it as one of the great questions
now before the Association. a crisis is
at hand, declares the report and the
Raptists must stand together and move
with united force in the cause of educa-
ton. as they haye always done Another
matter which the committee believes 10
be a most important one Is the increasing
of the endowment of Richmond College
by the securing OF the S25.00O offered by
Mr.. John D. Rockefeller. It heartily en-
oorsed Dr. w. E. Hatcher in his effort
to raise the $4,000 necessary to secure
the money. The Baptists of the State are
called upon to support these two move
ments. which constitutes the twentieth
