300 DO! FARMER BOYS
TAKE COURSE At THE
FAIR IN ATLANTA

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. 11.-Reports
from all sections of the Southeast in
dicate that 500 farmers boys will take
advantage of the short-term agricul-
tural course given by the Southeastern
Fair during the exposition at Atlanta
next week. A great majority of these
will come from Georgia, but there will
he representatives from every South
ern state.
Georgia school authorities, espec-
tally those connected with the various
agricultural district schools, are CO.
operating with the fair to make this a
permanent institution. The faculty
will be selected from the district
schools and will consist of fifteen in
structors, representing every agricul-
tural department. 1t is believed with
in the next few years 1000 boys will
take advantage of this course.
Selected by Exams.
The boys are being selected through
series of examinations in each coun-
ty and congressional district. They
will be boys who are interested in
farming and have shown sufficient
progress in their work to entitle them
to the course.
The aim of the school is to offer to
we'll selected body of young men the
means for systematic observation and
study, under the direction of compe-
tent instructors, of the great agricul-
tural, mechanical and educational ex-
hibits of the fair, and through such
agency to more fully inform and in
terest the residents of the counties in
the resources of the Southeast, and
the achievement of her citizens as de-
monstrated by the display ON exhibi
ton. The boys will be taken through
every department and lectures given
on preparation of soil, planting, cattle
and live stock judging and the prac-
teal use of modern implements on
plantations.
Entertained By Fair.
The students will be entertained by
the fair. They will be camped with
the Boy Scouts, whose tents are being
pitched at one of the most pictur-
esque spots on the grounds.
The short term agricultural course
is one Of many features of the fair.
The Southeastern fair will be a con.
solidation of individual attractions
which have for years drawn thousands
to Atlanta. The scope has been
broadened, however, to take in seven
Southeastern states and many new
departments have been added, one OF
which is the short-term agricultural
course. The exhibits are now being
installed and by Saturday the exposi-
tiCn will be ready for the crowds. The
formal opening will be Monday, when
it is expected 10000 people will attend.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct. 1.-THE open
ing sermon of the 44th Triennial Con-
vention of the Protestant Episcopal
Church was delivered at the Moolah
Temple, today by Bishop Daniel S.
futile, senior Bishop. Taking as his
text, Acts 81, 81, Paul said to the
Centurion and to the soldiers, Except
these abide in the ship, we cannot be
saved" the Bishop discussed the con-
tribution the Episcopal Church could
make to unity, and enumerated Rev
erence, Truth, Catholicity and Amer
lean flavor, and of the latter said:
II do not want to presume. Canad-
ian brethren are here and they are
Americans as we'll as we. Represen-
tatives of the Mother Church of Eng
land are here We revere her and we
love them. She fostered our youth in
a long continuance of nursing care
and protection There is nothing but
a heaped up fulness of gratitude in
our hearts and we are humbly proud
OF our kindship with the Church OF
England and the Church in Canada.
p,,t rpdar Gods rrOv;dapoo n doloeoor+
years have sent us out from under our
mothers roof We are housekeeping
now in home of our own. Asking
permission to use the word American
for short, we want to have an Amer
lean flavor in our Church. Anglican
precedents we will study and respect
and admire. But in our respect and
admiration we will leave them alone,
Impractical. if American spirit and
American taste and American habit do
not take to them.
Then in that good time when an
approaching unity seems somewhat to
materialize we want to offer to our
fellow Christians of other names
round about us an American religion
with an American flavor as our CON
tribution.
Granting to Layman.
Are we presuming too much? We
grant to the layman with freedom of
thought and opinion, only tying him
down to the bond of faith in the sim
pie varieties of the Apostles Creed.
rs that not American?
I'VE give to the layman full partici-
patton in the deliberations of the
Church and voice and vote in de-
termining the results of such delibera-
lions.
rs that not American?
I'VE have dioceses corresponding to
the states with their state sovereign
ties, and the General Convention cor
responding to the Federal Govern
ment.

''We have church penetrating into
ali parts of the United States and its
possessions. There is not a road Of
ground over which the Stars and
Stripes wave in sovereignty but that
is under the care and guidance of a
Bishop of our own.
