Construction of Christian character
In the young men and young women
attending Henry Kendall college al
ways has been the principal aim Of
the institution and it's faculty as well
as directors, but the Kendall college
!. of today is being shaped into some
%Sing more. 1t is becoming the en-
bodimcnt of all that the modern col
lcge should be in the teaching of arts
and sciences as well as the religious
phases of life.
In this 1t is keeping in the van Of
modern institutions Of learning in all
parts OF the country. \ similar form
Of evolution is taking place in some
of the oldest colleges in the whole
country and within the space of a
few years Kendall is expected to bO
an example for the others to follow.
Back in the state Of West Virginia
one of the most marked illustrations
OF this is found in Bethany college
FOf the Christian church. From this
institution Alexander Campbell came
forth to give TO the world "a fund Of
goodness which promises to last thru
eternity. This college is taking "a re-
markable growth. and not The least
among the things it has developed IS
course IN practical agriculture out
OF the hills and the valleys of tho
surrounding country have come farm
er boys and girls I'm flocks since they
have discovered that delightful and
thoro courses in practical farming
dairylng stock raising, household
arts, home chemistry, health and
sanitation, cooking and sewing await

Grow Practical.
While they are attracted by these
living needs as set forth in the school
of the Bible. arts and sciences, the
work moves them thru the grooves
of q finished education before they
are fully aware of what is taking
place. and they go out into the world
with culture and coveted ability to
earn better wage.
As Bethany is developing along this
line so is Kendall Beginning as a
small mission school, the college was
regarded for many years as u school
that amounted to little more than
that, and now ii is forcing itself be-
fore the public as an institution
where the best methods have been
Installed.
But Kendall has a greater oppor-
tunity before it than any of these
other colleges have had. Located in
the heart Of the Mid-Contincnt oil
field and situated on the outskirts Of
the oil world capital, it is 10 become
the great institution of learning which
is TO serve the petroleum industry as
probably no other college i'm the world
has chance to serve.

support are some OF the most power

recently these men have come for
