IBAPTIsTs CLOSE
LARGE CONVENTION
Attendance Nearly 1000 Higher Than
Any Previous Meeting-Ad-
journed to Meet Next Year
At Newark, N. j.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Sept 1.-THE Ma
tional Baptist Convention closed al
the Coliseum Monday night and all
but few of the delegates and visitors
have left the city The local commit
tee has given out the statement that
nearly 1000 more persons were IN
attendance this year than at any pre-
vious meeting. Harmony prevailed
throughout the sessions. There was
very little social entertaining. Nothing
but strictly business seemed to be the
rule--a condition probably influenced
by the seriousness of war times.
The largest crowd that attended the
convention was on Friday night when
Roscoe Conkling Simmons spoke. On
Sunday, in addition to the Coliseum
services, several prominent ministers
preached in the various churches
throughout the city and Rev. c. j.
Walker spoke in large tent.
| The Publishing Department of the
church reported the amount of bust
Iness done for the year at S116,000;.
lForeign Mission Board, $20,000 Home
Mission Board. $4,000; different auxi-
liaries from $4,000 to 100000 The col
flections taken up during the conven-
tion amounted to $4,000. The 1919

Union High school.

The Parent Teachers Association
was successful in securing Kinder
garten school for the little children of

taught these little children last year,
was again selected to preside over
their destinies. A more capable in.

for this specific purpose. Thirty, hale

Douglas School Opens
Monday morning, September 10Th,
Douglas school opened with an enroli-
ment of Ill students. The attendance
this year bids fair to exceed all previ-
GUS records. A competent corps of in
structors has been chosen to per
form the n1easant task of shaning the
destinies of our young hopefuls. The
staff Of teachers and grades assigned
to each is as follows: Principal, p.
Landry, seventh and eighth grades;
Mrs. e. L. Clayton, fifth and sixth
grades; Miss Mabel M. Robinson,

Marooney, first and second grades.
We predict successful school year
for these teachers, because they all
are competent and well qualified.
