.. That the Bible Itself be taught
more extensively in all Of our
schools; also Baptist principles and
Baptist history and missions, with
out of course, forcing upon stu
dents who are of other denomina-
tons our views. Baptists must
feel that Baptist schools are diff
ferentiated so widely from State
schools. not only in spirit, but In
religious teaching, that 1t is worth

patient wisdom a training school
is often needed where a so-called
college is established. One Of our
newest States has started sixteen
Baptist colleges within its bounds
in tho last half century, and is cut
ting poles for another. OF the SIX
teen, seven are dead-certainly,
large mortality. The disease or
starting Baptist colleges has been
sporadic, endemic and epidemic
often our Baptist liberty passes
into educational license and dissi-
patton. Our colleges may well say:

DEATH" Our pastors should urge
upon mon OF large means the duty
of giving literally while living to
our institutions, and of leaving be-
quests to them in their Wills.
g. That Baptists more Loyalty
patronize their own schools.
Z. That vigorous campaign for
BAPTIST education be pressed In all
our boundary, and that pastors. cd
,tors, educators and our people gen
orally be urged to advance this
great work with increased vigor.
