The state Board of Education will meet
this evening and tomorrow morning.
Is is thought that the course OF study

ed, probably with some notifications.
A large number of letters have been re-
ceived from superintendent, principals.
teachers, college professors and others.
stating thir views on the tentative out
lined already published These letters
will be very carefully reviewed,
The impression that prevails IN some
PARTS Of the State. that no applications
70, aid under the high school act will ba
received after this meeting is a mistake,
The majority of the applications chat
will be made, will not be on hand be-
fore June 10th. The hoard Will probably
meet again about June goth to 25th, to
consider the final distribution of the high
school fund II Is probable that there
will be applications far in excess of the
5000 available.

consider, will be the school furniture mat

GODS LATEST GIFT
TO WORLD OF PAIN
So Says Dr.. Jere Witherspoon Of
Trained Nurses-High Stand
8ls ard of Honor.

&s Rev. DR.. Jere Witherspoon preached the
#baccalaureate sermon before the gradu-
.ating class and nurses of the Memorial
Hospital at the Grace Street Presbyte-
rian Church last night. His sermon was
very impressive and was closely followed
by the large congregation. His subject
was THE Heavenly Pattern, Hebrew
viii: 3.
,t God and his relation to US, my friends"
he began, ARE the two great facts OF all
religion. The nnaterialist, dcist and athe-
i list put Him too far away from man,
and the panthelst brings Him too close
Character should be built according
to the patter. OF God. In the making OF
4 character there are three steps First,
the pattern or copying period; then the
modelling or shaping period, and last what
might be called the type or the develop
ment OF the sign which marks the idea.
The life man lives will have the shap-
ing OF the artists model which he sets
before one. Man must ever build upon
the model revealed to him.
Calling for. Every Man.
God has for edrh lfe:'in this world a
calling, and SOME day, as he did to Moses,
he will call US to give Instructions TO
call ones work in life an employment
livelihood, profession or occupation Is un-
A"oitH3, anu llleTely SlSnllleS the gaming
OF wealth or the keeping of life in the
BODY. Let what we do be our calling;
It links life with God. who shall reveal
to us the pattern Of our work.
DR.. Witherspoon went on to tell the
nurses that their calling was one or
mercy. 1t was noble, and demanded un-
selfish sacrifice. But there is a great ioy
and satisfaction in the vocation, and one
peculiarly fitting TO woman. The trained
nurse Is heavens latest gift TO the world
Of pain. She comes as a ministcring
angel. and her work is more than pro-
fession. The nurse must be as clean In
soul ms her spotless white uniform. She
must be cheerful 10 comfort the tagging
spirits Of sick minds and bodies. She
must be true to her calling. 1t is only
God and the stars who see her at night
as she goes about relieving the pain OF
the suffering.
Last Saturday night Dr. ]. Shelton
Horsley delivered a very interesting lee
tire TO the nurses at the Memorial Hos
pital on the Ethics of the Sick Room"
He dwell on what they owed to the
I laity and themselves. and put up high
standard of honor for the nurses who
would succeed in their work
