Rev. H. C. Swearingen Of st. Paul,
in speaking as representative Of the
board of education, told Of the objects
of the formation Of the school board.
"A fallacious impression Is held as to
the reason for the creation of the
board" he said. 1T is not intended
as a provider of money for young men
to enter the ministry. 1t occupies a
broader field. 1t furnishes funds and
provides a paternal influence that
guides the student through his course
and watches his moral as we'll as his
financial welfare"
The board, the speaker said, main
tains bureau at Philadelphia where
thousands of names of eligible young
men are kept to whom literature is
sent to draw to study OF theology
youths displaying strength of char
acter and qualifications that show
their adaptability.
Elder C. T. Thompson led a discus
sion on educational matters following

The failure of the churches to fol-

dents by ministers.
