Not few of our superintendents seem to think that every newcomer must be put in charge of class; and thus the schools are divided up into multitudinous classes. and too many of these classes have teachers who are hopelessly incompetent. officers and teachers are often too numerous. You don't need an officer or teacher for every i've or six scholars.
 "How can we get the women and the grown girls to attend2" is a question have heard asked. My answer Is. Have better teaching" If it be un- derstood that your Sunday school has the best teachers of any school in the city, the women and girls will be apt to flock to your school
 Let me repeat. You can not keep up an efficient Sunday school by the use of any or of ala the modern me chanical appliances. The teachers must study the Bible for tn hemselves they must become practically and experi- mentally acquainted with the great and blessed truths of Gods word or they will never become effective teachers of those truths.

 Of course the main objection is the question of religion In the state schools. But is not our present plan rather on the monastic order? When we get all the most loyal Methodists in one college; all the most loyal Baptists in another, and so for the other denominations, 1t Is not surprising that the irreliglous element tends to dominate in the state institu" tions: and the church attends chiefly to her own schools, and pays comparatively little attention to the religious welfare of the state schools in 8 very definite way. But the work of Professor Peterson at Montevallo shows what can be done. Again, most of our preachers come from the country and the denominational col lege. l am glad that we are throwing off the inconsistency of arguing to the boys that we are not trying to make preachers at Greensboro. and then telling the church that the denominational college $ right to exist is in it's supplying of our ministry. But see what Mobile has done in the last ten or 10 years in sending out ministers and missionaries, and in largo measure through the influence of single man, MT. A. c. Harte. who sees to 1t that earnest young men give God a chance to place their lives, just as the Greensboro faculty has been doing here. The same work which brings the city to the level of the country in this respect will not go unrewarded in a state institution.
 With such a plan we should have the advantage of taxes already paid, plus our contributions. and we could make tt cheaper for the students, cutting off the

tuition in the beginning: we should have something too big to move. and moneyed men who invest but never give. would be ready to put money into it. we should no longer be competing with those who can do the same work as well as we, but as in the case of the district high schools and others, we could aid the state and look out for the religious and moral well fare of the students, feeling meanwhile that we have done the greater work of educating her to where she can perform this task for us. thus leaving our hands free to other tasks. especially city evan gelization, which under our fast changing conditions will require all the money and effort we can command; we could then combine the stronger religious and moral purpose of the sturdy Methodist college type with the broader culture of tho state institution, and produce a better rounded manhood. The effect of turning 70 Greensboro trained boys for two years into the State university would have a wonderful effect in broadening the 75- and would instill into the university religious and moral fibre that would be almost revolutionary, unless indeed we stood idly by and cared not for their souls. Such plan would require moro patience, more common sense, more tal- erance, less dogmatism, but it would pay thousand fold for every effort.
 But, to return to our situation. Here they are asking us to move Greensboro. and to make just such another start as we have made so often before, while the state institutions are forging forward. Can they assure us of proper religious and moral restraint in Birmingham? Can they offer us inducements enough to make us turn loose our property? Are they headed that way? Personally, should favor such a policy as outlined above. Let us not argue but weigh. When we argue we usually become more sure of our own cause; when we weigh we get the truth. And we may well pause and ask ourselves if we can afford to sac- riice our property and this historic in- stitution for any such school as the North Alabama conference is likely to put up at Birmingham. or as the Meth odists of a single state can for many years support there.

An address delivered before the Clar- iosophic Literary society at it's anniyer- sary. March p, 1907:
 "HERE is no more important ques-
 ton before the Methodists of Ala
 A bama than the educational situa- ton, and we may well pause and take our bearings before we go further. What is our past? and what the various possi- bilities for our future? are questions we should ask before we take another leap.
 Our past has been in many respects glorious one. The men and women who have come from our institutions have political and church life, and their influ- ence has spread far beyond our own bor- ders. Furthermore, the denominatonal colleges have had marked influence on the state schools themselves. In the world at large, the modern school life as carried on by the state is largely the contribution of the church and it's educa- tional work, and it's moral and religious condition is much better today by reason of the chufch schools. The aim of missionary, we are told, is to make him. self useless-to so permeate the people to whom he goes with the message he carrleS lnat the ndtlNtS- WHO ol course can better reach ths'r own people, can gradually dispense with his active ser vices, leaving him only to help and ad- wise. The fact that the state schools from the primary to the university have done and are doing what they are, is an evidence that the church's message of education has been well received. The church schools of Alabama have done just these two things-besides their per sonal contribution of educated men and women, they have toned up the religious and moral condition of the state schools, and their efforts have helped and inl- pelled the state to forge it's way to the front in educational work. Indeed one of the most important of our states ed ucational institutions, Auburn, is founded on an old Methodist college
 But another side is rather more dark. Our educational work-I liked to have said progress-is strewn with the wrec!Ss of colleges. Summerfleld, Auburn, Tus- caloosa, and now if the present majority

How different it had become in 1867, when Allen C. Thurman was the democratic candidate for governor of Ohio. He had been in Congress 20 years earlier and had voted for the Wilmot proviso. He was the best lawyer in the state and the greatest debater of his time. He was nominated for governor and very nearly elected. It was understood that Val landnham was to be senator if the legis lature was democratic. The main issue was rubbing the word white out of the suffrage clause of the Ohio constitution. That proposition was beaten by 50,000 ma iority. and the word white is in that con stituton to this day. Thurman made such a splendid race for governor that he was given the senatorship that Val landinham had earned. It was a ca lamity all around. Had Thurman been elected governor it would have been the last of R. B. Hayes; Vallandinham would have been sent to the Senate, whence, I have little doubt, he would have gone to the White House.
 Proctor Knott might have remained in Congress to this day had he not sought the senatorship through the governor s mansion. John W. Stevenson got to the Senate by that route, but Leslie Me Creary, Knott, Buekner and John Young

rule, Athens, Tuskegee and Greensboro tell a sad story of a man who started to build and-well, for some reason did not finish and leaves himself rather an ob- ject for mocking to the passerby. And what this unsettled policy has lost be- sides the wrecks of what had already been given them, we shall likely never know. But we might pause to hush the scoffer's mouth by pointing to similar wrecks in other religious bodies; and to the history of the state capitols from St. Stephens, Cahaba, Tuscaloosa-and Mont gomery itself. did not lack very much of having it's name added to the list. Un- fair charges against Alabama Methodlsm ought not to be made, but it is little con- solation to know that others have been as unwise as we.
 I am glad the time has come when we have ceased to call on the loyalty of Methodists as our appeal for students. We are all parts of the state of Alabama, as well as of the Methodist church, and our taxes go to the support of the state schools. just as readily as our contribu- tions do to the support of the church schools. l am glad we appeal to our pat rons openly and fairly on the ground of the education we furnish. I think we must admit that the University of Ala bama can give a broader, rounder cul- ture, but in it's comparative lack of moral and religious influences, we feel that Greensboro is the best place for a Meth odist boy in south Alabama to go. Strong moral purpose and religious fibre are greater safeguards to civilization-g greater boons in life, than broad culture, and here we rest our case.
 But just here we face a serious situa- tion lurking indeed in the highways Tor years and falling upon us from the last annual conference. What Is the situation we face? In the first place. let us real ize that the command to cease agitation will not work. Let agitation be calm and fair let us bansh all bitterness, and as far as possible prejudice and self-inter- est, but to say stop agitation is to admit too much of a fear. Agitation runs Its natural course and will die of itself, but to attempt to stop it sooner is to run the risk of making a grevous mistake, or to have it break out with greater force when you are least aware. Such was the result of the first report of the education
