The success of the Baptist Is Mil

normal weather, crop and industrial
conditions, is little short Of marvel

rector, declared when the eight-day

tribute the success to the goodness
Of God, the faith, loyalty and untir-
ing energy of the pastors, state as
sociational and district and local

markable generosity and cooperation
manifested by both the religious and

Quoted in the South, with the possible
exception of the Liberty Bond drives,
has received more and better display
at the hands of the newspapers than
was given this undertaking of South
ern Baptists, which has just come to
a successful conclusion. This gener-
osity on the part of the secular press
is particularly appreciated by the
million white Baptists of the South

increased cost of newspaper produc-
ton along every line. This evidences
not only a larger appreciation of re-
ligious news on the part of the papers
themselves but on the part of the peo-
pie as a whole, for the papers carry
only such news as they have reason to
believe the reading public is interest
ed in.
"The Baptist Is Million Campaign
marked a distinct advance in the use
Of paid advertising space in the Sc
cular papers for religious. purposes.
1t is my conviction that Christian
churches have too long been overlook
ing this inviting and effective field for
tile presentation OF Cnelr messages to
the world, and speaking for Southern
Baptssts l hope the day will soon
come when they will learn to employ
literally the advertising columns of
the secular papers as well as the de-
nominational press in the presenta.
zion of both local and general matters
affecting their programs for the ad.

without the large cooperation

Physical Examination Begun. Out
look for New Department Most
Promising.

The new department is now being
put into operation and it's machinery
will soon be working smoothly.
There are three lines along which
this is to be developed First,
Through organized classes, and text
books, showing both the theortical and
the practical side of the problem.
Second, by complete physical ex-
animation of every student, twice
each semester, to determine along
what lines the students need develop
ment, and especially in the case Of our
athletes to find out what organs must
not be too severely taxed. Finally a
system of exercise is to be instituted,
whereby every student shall take ap-
proXimately two hours exercise daily,
half of it to be under direct supervis-
ion of the athletic director, the other
half to be the students own choice.
This department has been placed in
the hands of DR.. Byrd, assisted by DR..
Rutledge, formerly of Ole Miss, with
Miss Harper as secretary. DR. Byrd,
as we'll as Dr.. Rutlege, comes to US
highly recommended, having only re-
Gently been relieved from service by
the United States government. The
course will be required for degree
by all students in the academic de-
partment, in the first two years;
juniors and senior hygiene are to be
elective.
The freshmen take up, during the
first semester the subject, General
Hygiene, followed after the examina-
tions by Individual Hygiene. The
sophomores will be required to take,
by semesters, Group Hygiene and the
Principles of Physical Education,
while Intergroup Hygiene will be of
fered as an elective, and is expected to
constitute part of the schedule of a
large number of the students.

Therefore, the Army is organizing
schools to train men in various bran

Apart from the military necessity,
the automotive industries will bene-

He is a fine little chap and
he is just past six. Ever
since that wonderful morning
when he opened his eyes
upon this old world, and the
proud father had breakfast
with the doctor in the little
dining room, he has been
constantly at Mothers side.
She has helped him into his
little nightie and tucked him
into his little bed with a sigh
of relief every night. She
has listened to his breathing
and tiptoed to his side at all
hours of the night. She has
watched his diet and kept
his feet dry. She has made
his clothing from the beauti-
full long dresses that were fin
ished before he came, to the
rompers and short pants that
have been rnended until the
original goods almost have
disappeared. But now he is
to have a suit of store clothes
with a real shirt with neck
band and collar.
He is going to launch his
little craft and sail out from
the sheltered harbor of Home,
for he is going to start to
school. Mothers baby has
taken the first real step in
life on the path that leads to
ultimate separation.
There will be a strange
quiet in the home during
school hours and an anxious
mother will find herself lis

now sings in another place.
