and do confer degrees under that right alone This is bringing about a great m- provement among the colleges not in this classification, and the object of the con ference and the board is being accom- pished namely, an enlarged and more thorough course of study and greater correlation.
 No one can enter the exhibit without devoting much time listening to the story of the Scarritt Bible and Training School for Women at Kansas City The follow ing requirements explain it's object:
 Applicants must have at least com mon school education in order to enter. Many are college bred. It's students may be included in six classes:
 '1. Christian women, over IS years or age. of all denominations, who wish to study the Bible for their personal spir- itual growth.
 '2. Young women who seek training for city home or foreign mission work.
 "3 Christian young women, between 22 and 35 years of age, who wish to become trained nurses.
 "A. Mature women who wish practical training to fit themselves to help in the solution of the great social problems con fronting the church of God today.
 ',5. Cultured women who wish to be pre- pared for positions as teachers of the English Bible in schools and colleges for young WOIutH-
 ''6 Young women who desire to he trained to enter upon the work of evan gelisiic or nurse deaconess." In examining the eleventh annual re- port of the board of education. published August, 1905, it is learned that there are , 1885 universities colleges and schools un- der the patronage of the general confer ence in this and foreign countries. The property of 175 of these institutions is owned by the church. Not every one is directly under the control of the board of education. for the mission board has first often to prepare the way for edu- cation, and thus becomes pioneers of the educational board.
 From Mexico, Central and South America and foreign countries come many exhibits of great interest-artcles of manufacture drawings, writings. plain and fancy work. Progress and Meth odism is stamped upon the entire exhibit. and a visit and study of the exhibit will broaden every one. and a welcome Is ex- tended to all.

Such steps however, are not always taken hastily and as a final outcome the school was moved 10 Durham, where, under the name of Trinity college, 1t is one of the great institutions of the south. Endowed by the Dukes and others, and situated in magnificent park of nearly seventY-tive acres, with numerous buildings of hand some designs. force of thirty-seyen of- ticers and teachers, and an attendance approaching 500 it is the pride of the Western North Carolina Methodists and all the Methodists of the south. This is a coedueational college.
 The group of the Randolph-M Macon
 schools and colleges of Virginia are re ferred to With pride by members of the board of education There more nearly than in any other state is carried out the idea of the board the idea of correlation.
 To more fully illustrate: First, there is the Randolph Macon college for men stu-
 dents at Ashland, Va; then there is the
 Randolph Macon college for girls at Lynchhurg. From photographs and in- formation, these colleges have everything ! necessary to a place in class "A, A half dozen or more Virginia schools correlate with those two colleges, and thus step by step the young student pro- gresses through the graded schools of the conference. through the State college,
 and then is prepared for the great uni
 NerSity at NaShVllle, the only one with
 the rank of university authorized by the
 board of education. A little more than
 twelve years ago the general conference resolved that "a commission of ten prac- teal educators shall be appointed quad rennially by the college of bishops, who shall prescribe the minimum require
 ments for the baccalaureate degree In the colleges belonging to our church, and also the minimum requirements for admission
 to the class of the first year, usually
 called freshman class, in said colleges.
 This commission shall. at least once In every four years, report to the board Of
 education it's work: and 1t shall then be
 the duty of the board to classify all the educational institutions of our church, and to designate each as university, col lege or academy Cor secondary school, according to the relation of the work done by ii to the standards thus estab- lished hy the commission, and to use this classified ton in the official lists of the | educational institutions of our church. Under that classification there are one university and nineteen colleges, as fol- lows:
 Vanderbilt university. Nashville. Tenn. Central college, Fayette Mo.

missionary and educational displays in the same hall but like everything the Methodists undertake, 1t was found that it would require different buildings, so extensive were the exhibits.
 Every feature of both exhibits is com plete, and the main objects of the under taking, namely, to let the world know what is being done and to impress upon it the importance and magnitude of tile work is accomplished. This is an age of action, of doing and accomplishing something, and the Methodists are in the forefront.
 The educational exhibit is directly in charge of Prof. l.. H. Harris, assistant corresponding secretary of the Board of Education of Nashville. who has ar- ranged the exhibit in an attractive and instructive manner. AS one enters the hall the exhibit of the Athens CAla) Fe- male college firsts meets the eye. This is one of the older female colleges, and It's friends are pleased to learn that 1t Is enjoying an era of increasing pros perty.
 Owenton makes it's first appearance before the general conference in an ex- hibit. This is of the newer schools of the conference and is the direct work Of the North Alabama conference. Those who know the work of the Methodists in this district know that Owenton will grow and fast become one of the leading schools and colleges, fact in which all of Birmingham will rejoice. One of the most interesting exhibits Is a diploma and portrait of the first graduate of Wesleyan Female college, Macon Ga, This lady is now living in Macon. en- toying health. and from this we can see that the first diploma from the oldest woman's college in this country is within the memory of many now living.

MRS. BELLOWS APPEAL
 FOR THE WOUNTAlNEER

The industrial education of these peo- American citizens of pure Anglo-Saxon blood to the nation, and the glory of such an accomplishment must commend 1t to all right-thnking men and women who have the welfare of their country at heart. Mrs. Gielow
 The visit to Birmingham this week of Mrs. Martha Gielow of Alabama will be of interest beyond that arising from her artistic and conscientious portrayal of the anti-bellum negro.
 As president general of the Southern Industrial Educational association, Mrs. Glelow's special work is now directed to- ward the illiterate monntaineers and she is seeking to establish industrial schools in the isolated districts. In calling atten- ton to conditions, she says:
 This association has been organized and Incorporated to promote practical and in dustrial education among the impover- ished illiterate white children of the south.
 We know there are many who are ready and willing to aid us in this work. Ne' therefore, send out this appeal to give them that privilege and to ask their help and corporation in our crusade for humanity. In the Appalachian region, ex- tending from West Virginia down through the Gulf States. out to the door of the west, are two million mountaineers. who. by reason of their remoteness and inaccessibility, are almost entirely shut off from the light of civilization and edu- cation of any kind. It has been impos- sible to establish public schools among them on account of the great distances, and almost impossible roads, and the small amount of taxation, which is in- adequate to pay teacher. These people belong to the nation-they are the back
  work in Japan. There Is much that is Inspiring Tn the growth of Japan, and when we see and hear what ls being done through missions and schools it is a cold heart and q close purse that will not say, Amen.

 diploma was given in 1853, and like many of the schools of the south, met with the reYerses and losses of the Civil war. The burden was taken up immediately after the strife was ended and borne with bravery into the light of succeeding years. The school grew in importance and to give 1t a broader field it was decided 10
