new METHODS To
Be INTRODUCED
TEACH SUNDAY SCHOOL WORK
SCIENTIFICALLY
University Of Southern California VIII
Add New Department to
Its Bible Course
Study

The University of Southern Califor-
mia is planning a new departure in its
Bible study course and will be one of
the first in this country to introduce the
new method. The university has a
Bible course in charge Of Prof. f. g.
II. Stevens, but the new work will be
especially to train for Sunday school
teaching and personal Christian work.
and will be known as Bible extension
work. 1t will also be for Sunday school
teachers who wish to become more
proficient. 1t is said that some of the
most learned theologians shrink from
the task of doing personal work in
winning people to Christianity, and the
new work will be to prepare for that
branch of the work.
A prominent Methodist clergyman
said yesterday, regarding the proposed
work:
1T will be one of the greatest things
for the church that has been accom-
plished in many years. What the
church needs is personal workers, and
In this way the young people, as we'll
as those with more experience, can be
taught the best methods of winning
souls to Christ. In these days it must
be taught scientifically, and the best
way is to establish it right here in the
U. S. c."
Committee Appointed
DR.. Bovard, president of the univer-
sity said that no details have been
settled regarding the new work, but
that a committee had been appointed to
make preliminary arrangements and
that the subject would be brought up
before the board of trustees in their
annual meeting in January.
1t Is understood that the work will
be started at the opening of the second
semester the first of February.
The personal work in winning people
to Christianity has been given special
study by Rev. G. e. Foster, pastor of
the Newman Methodist church, who
1t is understood is on the committee.
Rev. Mr.. Foster has been very success
full, and with the assistance of his wife
has succeeded In converting over 1000
people in the last nine years. He has
prepared a book on personal work,
which is soon to be published.
A number Of changes and improve
ments are being planned at the U. S. c.,
and 1t is expected the new department
of Bible work will take a prominent
part
A new laboratory 46x11O feet, is being
arranged, which will be ready for the
second semester, and plans are being
made for new chemistry building for
next year. The rooms now occupied by
the chemistry, assaying and mining de-
partments will be occupied by other
classes.

fixed the minimum price at IL cents a
pound. The bears and spinners, TAX
ing advantage of the immediate needs
of the southern farmers and cotton
planters, drove the price down to $50.
AS 1t is now, even If the rest of the
crop should be sold at Is cents. the
general average would not be fair to
the farmers. But, now, the cotton
growers have the bears and spinners
at their mercy. The spot situation is
absolutely dominated by the men who
produced the cotton and this in the
face of the fact that at the beginning
OF the, season they were confronted
with the prospect Of a fourteen nnf-
lion bale crop. The spinners are MAX
ing more now on 12 cent cotton than
they ever did on 5 cent cotton. The
mills would not suffer, 1t is said, even
If the balance of the crop should be
sold at is cents pound. There were
100000 new spindles in the south
last year.
