Hvad oliver Diet til med Sko-
letilbudet fra Spencer? sporger
man. 10 = her kommer Diet.
Spencer byder den forenede
kirke i'll vor Samfundsskole
los Acres Land, beliggende paa
Hoyedgaden lidt udenfor Byen.
Foruden Landet yenter man at
kunne hyde cirka $4,000 i kon-
tante Pehge. Disse Penge tilveie-
bringes we'd at selge Byggetom-
ter I'D at Landet, 1850 for liver.
Bliyer der like solgt Byggegrum-
de nok I'll at indbringe $4,000,
vii der altsaa blive mere end
los Acres Land tilovers. I'd af
de los Acres kan man endnu
selge 162 Byggetomter og saa
endda have &c Acres til Skole-
ikampus.
Komiteen, nedsat af Menighe-
derne i Spencer, den nord for
Spencer o. den i Royal, mener,
at dette Tilbud er enestaaende,
og at vor Skole derfor Dor flyt-
ties Ill Spencer. Tillad os hermed
at begrunde yor Anskuelse.
/. Set fra Diet financielle Syns-
punkt. Landet, der bydes. med
SAINT den kontante Gave er yerd
meget mere end baade Land og
Bygninger, vi nu har i Blair.
Sammenlignet med Harlans
Tilbud falder Diet ogsaa nd til
Spencers Fordel. Warden af
Skolebygningen i Harlan er an
slaaet til 10000, naar man faar
anvendt $4,000 a $4,000 paa
dens Istandsettelse. Altsaa bill
yer Bygningens Verdi, som den
STAIR, $4,000 eller 100000, /
Virkeligheden like meget mere
end de kontante PENCE, Spencer
vii tilbyde; desuden kan man
selge 162 Byggetomter eller AZ
Acres Land i Spencer og saa
endda have tire Gange saa stort
ct Skolekampus som j Harlan,
med andre Ord &c Acres. Man
kan. saa sely prove at beregne,
hvor meget mere Spencers Til
bud er vard end Harlans.

"A Greater DANA

1.-The Church which is salts
fled with straYing and sencond.
rate colleges has before it a dy.
ing and a fifth-rate future"
The Lutheran.
Christian schools are abso-
necessary to the life and
work of a Church. \ Church
without schools must die"
-Lutheraneren.
I. Why should we have a
greater Dana2
/. We owe it to our country
a democracy to be successful
must be based upon the princi-
Piles of Christianity. The slogan
Make the world safe for democ-
racy is in this country being
changed to the significant sent
ence: Make democracy safe for
the world. The need of the
Christian college as a most i'm
portant factor in our present re
construction work is emphasiz-
ed by many educators and states
men of national reputation.
2. We owe it to the supporters
of our Church. Those who have
made The United Danish Luth-
eran Church their Church can
rightly demand that we provide
for the education of their chill
dren, so that they may grow up
in and be a blessing to the
church of their parents.
3. We owe it to our Danish
heritage. Whatever our nation
al coloring' on the language
question is to-day, we all be-
lieve that we represent a distinct
and wholesome type of Lutheran
ism which we would like to
transplant into the future Luth-
cram Church Of this country. In
order to do this effectively, we
must have a better educated and
a more highly cultured ministry
and lay constituency.
4. We owe it to the specific
Home Mission field which we re-
present. 1t is a fact recognized
by authorities on Home Mission
problems, that a Danish church
= using Danish and English as
the particular field may demand
- can do the most successful
work among people of the same

continue as an independent BIZ
lingual church. When our par
tieular field ceases to exist, per-
haps the only reason for our
existence is removed. But until
then let rs be faithful with
ever increasing zeal.
II. How shall a Greater Dana
be realized
1. We must know the WHERE
of our present situation. In order
to take a safe and decisive step
in the direction Of a Greater
Dana, We must face squarely the
present status Of Dana College.
Besides taking the general warn
ing to heart never to trust a
catalogue TO tell the true story
Of the status Of a school, there
are several things which indicate
that the great majority Of our
people, both laity and clergy.
perhaps are in the dark IN this
respect.
a. Some years ago the Bror-
son Highschool catalog asnoune-
ed as a member Of lis faculty
a Dana College pro-seminary
graduate with the degree \. B.
attached TO it.
b. Only a year ago a promi-
nent minister Of our church was
greatly surprised to learn that
Dana College was not using an
\. B. degree.
q At our alst Synod meeting
it vas expressed upon the floor
of the Synod by a member of
the Dana College faculty that
100000, added to our annual
school budget, would enable
Dana College to rise to the rank
Of an accredited college.
2. We must have before us
the WHAT in this question. By
this | would simply emphasize
the necessity Of realizing what
an npsto-date college implies and
that We have that realization
constantly and wildly before Is
in all the plans we now make.
To make this more explicit |
would emphasize these three
phrases: An up-to-date college; a
Lutheran Christian college,; a
typical American college with a
strong department in Danish
language and literature.
8. We must see clearly the
HOW as to the realization of
our plans. | have said in private
letters if the crisis through
which we now are passing can
not give us a clear vision as 10
how a Greater Dana can be
realized, | see no light. In all
the writing that has appeared
in our papers upon the school
question this last year, | have
discovered only two attempts
along the line of giving us some
thing constructive.
We need buildings sadly, we
need equipment for library and
laboratories still worse. we need
an endowment fund etc, but we
need above everything else as
the absolute requirements for a
Christian college
1st. A distinct type of teach
ers. They dare not be inferior
in scholarship, that is, they must
be specialists in their particular
field of work. They must be men
and women of high Christian
principles whose personality will
determine the social and religi-
Gus atmosphere of the college.
They must be men from our own
midst who understand our
problems and are willing to
sacrifice for the cause. They must
be men who enter upon the
work with a view of making it
a life-work. A college will not
be developed and maintained by
a staff of teachers the greatest

agent for Sumter county, assisted in
organizing a club of domestic science
workers at the school in Thompson
district, II miles out of Americas,
Friday afternoon. The enthusiasm
with which these school girls and
women Of the community attended
the organization meeting attested to
Ghe interest they have in useful en-

and all the high school girls. Officers
were elected to carry on this splen-

chosen president; Mrs. Seager, first
president; Miss Louise McLen-

was so hoarse from frequent speak

a conversation while here.
Mr.. Mercer is a decided supporter
of the League of Nations and does
not hesitate to say that he considers
the position of Senators Smith, and
Reed, Gore and others of the group
of Wilson haters, as indefensible.
'If the League of Nations is made
a national issue this fall the Demo-
Gratis are certain to elect another
president" said Mr.. Mercer. Asked
his view of the boom for Herbert
Hoover on the Democratic League of

ple-not only of this country but Of
