congregations were addressed by
Christian EndeavOr leaders, and Miss
Laura Belle Stephens of Rock Island
was assigned to the Trinity Evangeli-
cal church. Miss Stephens criticized
the policy of church organizations
which keeps the churches closed six
days a week.
Must Keep at It.
The doors of the churches should
be open seven days a week" she
said. Why do the designers and
builders of churches erect them only
for places of worship? As l look upon
the needs of the young people the
buildings ought to be erected not only
for worship, but also for work and
play. In our work among those of
high school age we must meet the
dominant and divine instinct of play"

mind should dwell in sound body, to be most efficient
For these and other reasons all forms OF clean athletic
sports are encouraged The athletic teams of the
school are directly in charge of the faculty AS an
incentive to do better work no student will be allowed
to participate in school contests match games whose
school work is not above the passing average OF
seventy-five.
Games are allowed occasionally with other
schools Occasional visits of this kind, besides giving
heathful recreation and innocent pleasure show stu
dents what other schools doing, stimulates pride

all branches of school work.

When an agricultural school accomplishes no
greater work than that of benefting those within its

problems During the past session about four hundred
acres of farm land were terraced We prepared to
