HENDRIX REGISTERS 300
Distinguished kansan Speaks to Min
isters Today and Friday
Enrolment Grows.

DR.. Raymond A. Schfegler, whose
addresses at the Hendrix summer
school for ministers have been praised
rs perhaps the most constructive anc
instructive series delivered here, has
consented to remain at the college I'M
Ill Saturday. He will take the place
of Bishop Edwin Hughes of Boston
who failed to make train connections
In the east and consequently will be
unable to reach here at the time at
which. he was announced to speak.
Or. John Hugh Reynolds, with the
approval of all the ministers here for
the school, insisted that DR.. Schweg-
her remain and continue the remark
able addresses which have held the
close attention and study of the school
since it was opened yesterd,.y morn
ing.
AS now arranged, DR.. SchWegler
will speak again tonight at the First
Methodist church and again Friday
night. DR.. O. f. Brown of Nashville
will replace him as the conference
speaker Saturday morning, and will
speak at the church Saturday night
and Sunday morning and night Sell
dom has a speaker been accorded the
whoiehearted attention which DR..
Schwegler is receiving from the big
body of ministers attending the con-
ference. Despite the fact that their
enthusiasm causes him to speak
slightly beyond the customary time,
close of an address by him is re-
eelving something of regret.
Attendance at the conference con-
Einues to increase by leaps and bounds
All avail able rooms at the campus
have already been occupied, and as
signments were made today to many
residences and boarding houses of the
city. AS the very last places on the
campus, some of the ministers today
were assigned to cots which are beng
placed in the "Y" hut. Through the
splendid cooperation of citizens re-
siding near the campus and In some
cases, at a distance from the campus,
homes are being provided for the en-
tire number. At the college business
Office, it was stated that probably 81
or rs ministers are attending, but
have neglected to register. Request
was made at the morning service for
registration. An estimate of the to-
tai attendance placed it around 3oo
and will probably reach a higher hg-
ure before its close.
DIR. Schwegler spoke last night To
an audience which filled the church
auditorium. His subject was "Adoles-
eence," in the discussion of which
he took issue with the correctness OF
certain pedagogical methods IN the
handling and education of young
BOYS. DR.. Schwegler told of an Incl
dent which he witnessed on railway
station platform. Five young boys
came together in due course of time,
as many pairs of arms and legs were
mixed in mass of squirmlng hu-
manity. A lady of some age. whom
he judged to be former school
teacher, looked on and make this re-
mark 81 never saw such an exhibi-
ton of disgraceful conduct" DR.
Schwegler held that the conduct of
the boys was perfectly natural. He
declared that any boy who did not
love to fight, play games, place wa
termelons "where they should be
placed" and other such specimens of
youthful enterprise had a small
chance Of attaining a normal grow. d.
He commended athletics, not for the
development of Drawn, but for the de-
veiopment of resource and the ability
to think quickly, which will stand It's
owners in good stead all through life.
