WILL The BOSSES FORCE THE
PROGRESSIVES TO ERECT
ANOTHER SCHOOL?


ANOTHER SCHOOL?
The editor OF the Peoples Defender
las steadfaStly and eternally argued
that the Arkansas Baptist College
ought be ma ntained by all the Bap-
list forces in the state. In fact, he
Las argued that there are too many
district academies, that they were
sucking the life out OF the real state
school, that the state school ought
lie maintained by ali the Baptist
forces, and that if we we're to have
district schools, they should be secon-
dary and cOntributary to the one
great state school. That is the
/ opinion Of the Editor Gi the Peoples
Defender at this time, for he believes
that tie ability of the race to mar
and oyerae one large thing should

tie race from our viewpoint that we
prove our ability to man and operate
something c0mmenddyie something
that will command he respect of the
civilized world about us The editor
/ Of tie Peope's Defender has believed
and lie ieves now that both the old
lire convention and the Progressive
convention should in some way be
able to work together and mair tain
! one splendid educational institution
in Arkansas. This has been the
hCpe of the ed tor, but it would ap-
ear that the bosses are going to 50

re regretted the prog essive men can
not afford to SO uneducated, if they
cannot have a fair deal at the Ar.
kansas Baptist College, neither can
the ministers OF The Progressive
sentiment afford to enter into the
Methodist institutions of the com
munity. Many OF them being finan
cially unprepared and encountered by
home responsibilities cannot &C
abroad to Bapt st institutions, anG
thus according to the edict of tho
bosses they find themselves in some
what a serious pre- li1ament The
