cording to DIR. John M. Allen of
Liberty, a member of the faculty

In an address he delivered here
DIR. Allen said that many epidem.

was apparently a mystery, could
be traced directly to some church
Churches, he said, "are rare.

Prof. ]. W. Millions Address.

We quote the following para
graph from the Paris Appeal:
President Million, of Hardin
College, delivered a splendid adj
dress on denomination schools at
the Baptist church Sunday. In
stead of appealing for the reten-
ton of these institutions on the
ground of religious partisanship
and prejudice against the Univer-
sity system, he took the broader
view of genuine utility and argued
that parental solicitude should
dictate a term or two in a we'll
equipped UNCONVENTIONAL school,
where wholesome influences and
sane restraints were thrown
around students, instead of send
ing them direct from High School
to a great institution which, how
ever well equipped for teaching,
gives no attention to the social
and religious training of the stu
dent. Then, with their characters
well formed and their minds well
trained, they could go from the
denOminational college to finish
their education in the higher
grades of the University. These
practical suggestions and the alb
sence of partisan prejudice com
bined to make this one Of the
strongest addresses Paris people
have heard along this line in a
long time.
