Remarkable Growth
In the third place Berea College
merits attention because of its re-
markable growth. That 1t is doing
its work is sufficiently evidenced by
the liberality Of parties in contribut-
ing to its financial needs. During
the last twenty years the attendance
has reached from 234 to 1875 in
all departments. The student fees
have increased from s1,74S to $14,-
639. The yearly donations from about
$40 900 to over $4,000 and the inter-
est on invested funds from s4,431 to
sS2, O33.
Promising Future
The work of the College is being
laid out along large lines and with
such a mission to perform with such
a field in which to work, with such
solid backing Of love and finan-
cial strength, with such an alumni to
wish 1t well and to aid in its develop
ment the future is very promising.

And 1t is a better city than when /
first began to know IL well, some
twenty years ago. Here are the head
quarters of the Bible Society, and
the Tract Society. and many of the
great mission boards. New York is
the home OF great preachers like
Parkhurst, and Jowett, and Hugh

And there are a dozen different clubs

and his own energies for support to
carry on his work. He was led to To-
cate at Berea by Cassius NJ. Clay,
that sturdy anti-slavery champion
who wished to build up a sentiment
favorable to removing slavery from
Kentucky by Constitutional amend
ment and depended largely on the
mountain people to support him.
Father Rodgers Comes
The establishment of a school was
cherished purpose Of Mr.. Fee and
one was started in 1855 near the To-
cation of the present district school.
For several years 1t was taught by
students from Oberlin College but
In 1858 Rev. J. A. X. Rogers and his
wife came to Berea from Illinois.
They were eminently fitted for the
work begun, and carried II out with
great success, maintaining a school
that was of reputation throughout q
large section. Two such personalities
as Mr.. Fee and Mr.. Rogers, able, con-
secrated and tireless. insured firm
foundation. They were supported by
substantial settlers in the neighbor-
hood, John G. Hanson, Morgan Bur-
dette, VIM. Stapp, John Burman, T.
J. Renfro, Elisha Harrison and others.
Forced to Flee
The agitatei feeling preceding the
war made the foundation of a school
based on anti-slayery principles
difficult and dangerous undertaking.
After the John Brown raid in Vir-
ginia in 1859 the teachers as we'll as
many of the settlers, tho native Ken
tuckians. we're forced to leave.
After the war most of them return

tinued. The constitution already be-
gun was completed, a charter was Sc
cured the site of the present campus
was purchased. new buildings were
erected and the school WAS placed
on a more permanent basis.
President FairchiId
In 1869 L. II. Fairchild of Oberlin
was called to the Presidency. During
his administration the Ladies Hall
and Lincoln Hall were built. His
presidency fell during the period of
reconstruction after the war and Berea
gave large attention to the adjust

IL is a sermon TO the world. Life
and death are in Gods hands. Men
must not grow careless because their
inventions are so great and grand.
Riches make no difference when we
come to the real crisis. And safety
is to be preferred to luxury. These
are some OF the lessons.
And we are proud of the good con-
duct of passengers and crew in the
hour OF trial.
IL is pitiful TO read OF the part
ing OF friends. the separation OF
husbands and wives. And yet we
are all on a sinking ship and must
part when the time comes.
For come he slow or come he
fast,
II is but Death that comes last"
blessed are they whose names
are written In the book of Life"
With love to all the mountains,

BEREA A BUSINESS CENTER

Quality Stores

Another thing worthy of mention
is the quality of the stock of goods
found in our stores. The writer has
visited every town in Eastern Ken
lucky which lies ON a railroad and
after returning home has been i'm
pressed each time with the appear
ance of our stores
From these things it can be seen
that the merchants of Berea are wide
awake, at their post, have studied
conditions both local and foreign and
have taken advantage of the oppor-
tunities offered them.
Around the Station
The first business concerns that
attract the attention of the visior
on his arrival are the Berea Roller
mills near the station, owned and OPP
Grated by Andrew Isaacs, and the
Spoke Factory which is a branch of
The Standard Wheel Co., of Terre
llaute, Indiana. The planning mill,
run by Stephens and Muncy. and the
Canning Factory are also near by,
and the Commercial Hotel and w.
G. Nicely's general merchandise store.
Turning to the right up the hill the
visitor thea passes the ice, coal and
tie yard belonging to ]. w. Ste
phens.
Welch's and West End
At the corner at the top of the
hill is the S. E. Welch Department
Store, the largest department store
in the state of Kentucky in any city
outside of Louisville. 1t contains a
ladies' and children's department, a
gents furnishing department, groc-
cry. a hardware, a feed, an imple-
ment and carriage, a furniture, an
undertaking and a drug department.

BIRTHDAY SUPPER

The Misses Edith Frost and Maude

playing OF various games.

chandise stores respectively. Then
follow Pettus and Parks Drug Store,
Parks Bros. feed store and r. H.
Chrisman's large furniture and under
taking establishment all of which
are directly across the street from ".
J. Coyle's General Merchandise and
Henderson's grocery.
Farther up the street and on the
right is the lumber and planning plant
OF j. Burdette and Sons. This
completes the West End business
section.
College, a Big Business
Passing on to the east end Berea
College comes into view. The college
aside from its educational function
is one Of the greatest business enter
prises In the South.
East End Section
Just beyond the College is the
cleanest hotel in Kentucky-Boone
Tavern. and here begins the east
end business section with the fancy
grocery stores of w. /. Dooley and
Jerry Richardson, the gents furnish
ing stores of r. r. Coyle and Hayes
and Colt, the ladies' and children's
stores Of E. F. Coyle and Mrs. S.
r. Baker, and the Berea Drug
Company, the Racket Store,
Clarkston's Hardware store-nine
stores which we believe are far above
the average of any town twice the
size of Berea.
We should also mention Kidd
and Robinson with their up-to-date
livery and feed stable, the Berea
Bank and Trust Co., which lies in
the center of the East End block,
the restaurant of Gabbard and Rey-
nolds and the Palace Meat Market.
These in main constitute the business
enterprises of Berea.
Growing Town
The town has reputation and the
right kind, too, which is the greatest
asset making for future prosperity.
And we are rapidly growing. being
at the head of the percentage col
umn of gain in Kentucky under the
census of 1910, our location giving
us a great opportunity for future
attainment, as well as offering an
ideal place to live.
Accessible Markets
Now word as to our markets:
We are nearer Cincinnati and Louis
vile than any of the large markets,
and practically the same distance
from each, the freight rate being
identical. We are also in close touch
with Knoxville, st. Louis, Chicago,
Cleveland, Baltimore and New York,
aside from several smaller markets
in and around our own state, several
which equalize rates with closer
cities.
Open to be Courted
We must get Our merchandise some
place and We are open to be court
ed for future business and we believe
that the city that wins us will not,
as the owner of an automobile, have
a liability but an asset worthy of
mention.
Our simple admonition Mr.. Manu-
facturer, Mr.. Jobber is, Keep your
eye on Berea."

given to the mountain section, the re-
sources of the College In lands, build
ings and endowment have grown and
the work has been given a nations
al significance. The interest of such
givers as DR.. ID. X. Pearsons, Andrew
Carnegie, and others has been secur-
ed.
Adaptation of Work
In the second place Berea College
merits attention for the attempt to
adapt its work to the purpose for
which II exists. Located In a rural
section, among a country loving peo-
pie, 1t has emphasized rural life. In
It's general regulations as well as in
its courses Of study it has sought
to inspire a love of the country, to
work for the betterment OF rural con-
ditions and to fit young people to
live with contentment on the farm
and in the village. 1t has sought to
find out the merits In the mountain
section and to make the most, eco
nomically and socially, of the section
which IL serves.
The Organization of the institution
is also an adaptation to needs. In lieu
OF good primary schools the Model
Schools are maintained for pupils
Of Junior grade. To meet the needs
of mature pupils able to go on rapid
ly, but held back by lack of oppor-
tunity, the Foundation School Is
maintained. For those who wish TO
become more proficient in the duties
of Industrial life the Vocational
Schools exist with their courses In
Agriculture, Horticulture, Carpentry,
Printing and Domestic Science. To
aid teachers not only to be prepared
for their work but to have the spirit
OF community builders, the Normal
Department exists. While for teach
ers in high schools, professional oc-
equations and other positions of
leadership the Academy and the Col
lege are designed. These departments
while separate to an extent are inter-
grated into one whole which gives
solidarity to the student body.
The College, moreover, desires TO
foster whatever will enrich the eco
monte and social life of the people
to whom II ministers. To this end
1t encourages the fireside industries
and teaches weaving. 1t seeks to
create a wholesome respect for trees
that Forests still existing may be
preserved and that hills already bare
may be reforested. AS an example
1t has its own forest reserve of four
thousand acres. It's Hospital not only
cares for the sick among the STU
dents but trains nurses and seeks to
bring about conditions of health
throughout the mountain section. II
distributes from the Library boxes
Of books as travelling Libraries, and
sends extension lecturers with Ian
terms to present useful subjects to
the people.
