BOARD OF EDUCATION.
Report No. l of the board of educa-
ton was received. The report was a
lengthy one and showed that the edu-
cational interests of the conference are
doing well, the most interesting fea-
ture of the report being a recon-
mendation in the form of a resolution
providing that the trustees of the
Woman's College be authorized to
erect dormitory upon the property
of the college in Montgomery, not to
exceed 100000 in cost, and that they
be given full authority to make the
arrangements and carry out this
recommendation. The report referred
| to the complaint about young men en-
| tering the ministry unequipped and
recommended q number. of reputable
correspondence schools and other
schools and special courses. The re-
port showed that the work of the
| Southern University was up to the
| standard but that endowment funds
We're still lacking, although about
$4,000 was added last year. Each
| preacher was urged to work for
| this fund. 1t was shown that DR..
| Frazer, the financial agent, had col
lected S7,O46.19 cash, and that he had
secured $11,3S5,43 in subscriptions,
which has not yet been paid. The
| report contained the recommends
tions of the board as to trustees, pro-
! fessors and students to be appointed
| from the conference and are practical
| ~ the same as last year. The board
| offered a substitute for the resolution
| introduced by e. L. Crawford at the
| first days session. This resolution
provides that the North Alabama con-
| ference of 1912 be requested to appoint
| twelve men as trustees on a joint
board and that the joint board shall
receive charge of all college property
of all schools of the two conferences.
If the North Alabama conference
agrees to this the Alabama conference
will then aid in the support of the
Birmingham college and will agree to
help build up big college in Biz
mingham. The report was received
and adopted. ..
