and world wide work as Baptists.

tinued and maintained with credit.
We today did not create this society.
orr denominationaL fathers must re-

this beneficent organization. We must
today face the issue. The legacy Is
ours. We are heirs,-hcirs of tho
privilege. the high privilege sef send

opportunity and ask you to say what
shall be done.

/ The annual sermon of the Education
Society was preached by Rev. c. f.
Mckoy, Bar HarbOr. His discourse was
based upon the text, But nevertheless
the foundations of God stand sure"
and was a well constructed and finely
delivered sermon upon the landmarks
of the Christian faith.
The reports of the visiting commit
tees to the various educational insti-
tutioEs of the denomination in the
State followed. A brief abstract of the
several reports is as follows:
Colby-Colby needs first of all a more
loya], support from the prominent Bap-
lists OF the State, some of whose sons
and daughters have gone to other col
/, leges i'll this State or other states. The
college needs still greater loyalty
among its own alumni and friends.
Colby needs more buildings to house
the great influx of new students. A new.
dormitory is a crying need. The college
needs money to keep pace with the in
crease in scholars. Growth in our col
leges calls for increased funds to fur
nish equipment. The management by
practicing diligent economy has been
able to make extensive alterations in
Chemical hall to accommodate twice the
former number of students in chcmis-,
/, try. Extensive alterations have also
non observatory.
Higgins-The enrolment of 10 more
students than last year at this time
makes the total number of students 90
with enough more coming to carry the
number up to 100 before the fall term
is completed. More girls have entered
this year, making a better balance OF
the sexes than in previous years. OF the
incoming students 40. are entirely new
faces against the Is who completed
theft course in June. In the teaching
force Nathan II. Garrick as sub prin-
cipal and teacher of the sciences sue
ceeds Reginald Harmon. He is already
proving an efficient assistant to Prin-
cipal Cowing. The school has a crying
need of a gymnasium for winter ath-
letics
Ricker-The school registered "A
young men and IA young women the
opening week of the fall term. The
Freshman class numbers so and several
students entered advanced classes. The
Senior class now numbers o. The large
attendance is due in part to the quiet
but effective work done, by Principal
Belts during the summer vacation Mr..
Carter after a year of faithful work
resigned and his place was taken by
f. c. Bean, a graduate of Colby in
1901. There has also been a change OF
tpreceptress. Miss Ethel l.. Hutchins,
graduate of Bates College, in the Glass
OF 1908. takes the place of Miss Linton.
