IhNoI oI bryan, az the place OF lh-
comparable advantages, and the
point is what will Bryan do? You
people know what you can do, and
it is time 10 do it. The matter has
already been deferred too long"
DR.. Riley's remarks clearly indi.
Gated that the Houston people
meant business, and that they will
proceed actively in the matter at
an early date unless Bryan gets
busy.
DR.. Butler expressed apprecia.
tion Of DR.. Riley's remarks and
said that while he confidently be-
lieved Bryan will meet the require.
ments, and that he will give $1,000
towards it, il Bryan fails he will
throw his help and influence unre-
servedly in the scale in favor Of
Houston.
The meeting closed with prayer
by Rev. NJ. T. Andrews.
In this connection The Eagle is
gratifed TO be able to state that
$500 Of the $4,000 required has
already been subscribed, and there
are more people to see yet than
have been seen by the committee.
If the rest come up like those who
have been interviewed the amount
is easily within reach, aud the
Eagle believes that it will be
secured.
Another enthusiastic meeting was
held at 4 o'clock with DR.. Butler
presiding. Rev. +. Ammons Of
Houston opened the meeting with
scripture reading and exhortation,
and DR.. J. NJ. Carroll Of Waco led
in prayer. DR.. Butler called upon
a number Of persons present for
expressions regarding the move
ment and response was made by
Mrs. NJ. W. Sims, DR.. r. II. Will
son Of Kurten, Prof J. IL. Allen,
Rev. j. L. Crane, DR.. /. F. Bets,
A. W. Buchanan and Rev. J. NJ.
Bullock. Each speakers remarks
were earnest and enthusiastic, and
it was felt that Mrs. Sims struck
the key note in the advocacy Of a
girls school when she said: when
we educate a BOY we educate an
individual when we educate a girl
we educate a family"
DR.. Belts remarks were Of spec.
ial interest by reason Of his refer
ence to the Chapel Hill Female
College. tie said that be wished
God speed for the movement in
hand from the bottom Of his heart
and that the arguments in favor Of
the school are unanswerable. II
will help Bryan from every stand
point. Continuing he said; 81
saw last year that Bryan was an
ideal location, hence we made an
effort to have the Chapel Hill
College moved to Bryan. We met
with such positive opposition that
we abandoned that idea, but have
not given up the idea of establish
ing a Methodist college for girls
here. Our plans are taking shape.
The subject will be presented next
week TO the Huntsville District
Conference, and we hope TO be
able to make & definite proposition
to the Texas Conference at Pitts
burg in November. The two
schools will not conflict, but will
help each other. You have one Of
the finest schools in the state in
the Allen Academy. Let the am
bition Of Bryan be that of becom-
ing a great educational center
the Athens of Texas. God speed
you in your work"
