III. | also suggested that the
course of study and the contract
under which the college vas re-
ceived should be 50 changed as to
meet the educational conditions of
Florida, for at present the contract
with Lake City required course of
study suited to college standard,
or to an institution of higher
grade" But such a curriculum is
not at present adapted to the con-
ditions existing in Florida, When
the population in the rural dis
tricts become more dense, SO that
good secondary or preparatory
schools can he established and
maintained in the country, and
when the commercial spirit is SO
broken in our cities that students
can be kept in the high schools until
they are prepared for college, then
the present course Of study will be
eligible and possible; but as con-
ditions now obtain, and as the
terms Of the contract now demand
a large patronage could not reason
ably be expected.
Furthermore. in making this
changein the course of study, there
could also be a saving of from S.,

expsnse of the college. By this

change, reducing expenses without
destroying efficiency, and increas-
ing the income by means Of an Ell
larged patronage, the financial
problem would be solved.
w. The fourth change advised
by the president was, that the ten
IRE of Office should not be less than
five years, for it was impossible to
make any far-reaching plans for the
prosperity of the college successful
in one year. Frequent changes
were Improbable for the college
and for the patron. The uncer-
tainty of position made the stabil-
ity of movement doubtful. The
time element cannot be ignored in
the planting and the growing of a
college. Colleges are not made to
order or manufactured for the sea-
son, but are the development and
growth of generations and cent?
ries.
These are the changes suggested
by the president, and the reasons
assigned, and virtually the entire
faculty was in accord with him,
and. SO far as | know, none Of them
made application for reelection,

A. H. NUNALLY.
From many inquiries which have
been made, some honestly seeking
information, and some severely
criticising both the Board of Trus-
tees and the faculty, and Others
still cruelty censi,ring the retiring
president, it is evident that many
are under a misrepresentation Of the
facts in the case. Hence it is nee
sseary to make this statement. \
mistake full confessed is half con-
doned. and the hurt is half healed.
Baptist people have never looked
upon the executive session with
much favor, and they have always
regarded the star chamber as an
abOminaticn. Unequivocal publ
city may sometimes provoke I'm
kind criticism, but it will eventual
" win the confidence of Baptists.
Some have thought that the
separation between the Faculty and
the Board of Trustees was OCCASION

against Oklahoma in the matter bf

received BY the corporation commits

points. This supplement shows that,
effective May IS, sugar rates to Okla
homa points will be raised s cents per
100 pounds. This action is one Of the
most arbitrary that the railroads oper-
ating in Oklahoma have attempted
for some time past Careful investi.
CATION has been made In an endeavor
10 ascertain the reason for this in
crease, and but one excuse can be
found. and that IS. that at the present

than the rate given Oklahoma points,
and the one reason stated above is to
give Kansas City the same advantage
over Oklahoma on California sugar
that exists on New Orleans sugar.
With rates quoted from California
terminals to nearly every point in the
United States. no rates were raised
except TO Oklahoma. The same scale
that applies to Oklahoma today ap-
plies to all Kansas Points. Missouri
points. and Arkansas points, and every
logical rate condition demands that
Oklahoma should az least have az low
a rate on California sugar as is en-
loyed at Missouri river crossings. but
the railroads leading into this state
have taken advantage OF the privilege
OF arbitrarily raising the rate and now
