More than half of the total Investment
in higher education in the United
States is in colleges and universities
founded by religious denominations
who found in America that liberty of
theological preferences and academic
learning which had been denied to
them in their native lands overseas.
Today half of the 100000 students of
higher grades in the United States
are in attendance at these denomi-
national colleges and universities.

tremendous demands are to be made
during the next five years, demands
that trend TO restore to American col
ieges and universities that atmosphere
end purpose which marked their be-
g;rn-ngs. A world survey of the
needs OF peoples who are struggling
along without knowledge of the teach
iagS Of Christianity and without train
ing in even the most rudimentary
courses of an academic education has
revealed to America her responsibility
and privilege. Through the Inter
church World Movement the 400 col
Ieges and universities of the thirty
religious denominations which have
united on a program of cooperative
effort are 10 be required to furnish
tie ma joritv of the 100000 leaders
and workers needed. They are the
West Points and the Naval Academies
of the greatest religious movement
OF all tine.
1t is estimated that these denomina-
sional institutions have furnished
ninety per cent Of the religious leaders
of the past. Are they to be able to
meet the new and larger demands?

must be filled by unframed or only
partly trained men.
Solution of the problem resolves it
self in the last analysis into terms of
money. Unless the churches are pre-
pared to expend more than 81 for
every $40 appropriated for education
by the state solution of the problem
is indefinitely postponed if not made
impossible. This proportion is caused
by the fact that the churches concen-
trate almost exclusively upon the col
leges and universities, upon the thirty
eight students who enter college from
the 1000 who are received into the ele-
mentary schools. And of the thirty
eight only the fourteen who obtain
their degrees receive any prolonged
training.
1t has been demonstrated that what
people would accomplish in their ma
tional life they must first put in the
minds and hearts of their youth in the
schools. That the first exponent of
| this theory was a Prussian minister
of education does not alter the fact.
The colonial colleges were quite as
successful in producing men true to
type as were the German educational
institutions prior to 1914. VIII the
church colleges and universities of to-
day prove as successful?
The thirty denominations which Lave
created the Interchurch World Move
ment are going to make a determined
effort to restore the balance. Ameri
can education is represented by S4S,-
S37, 431 in a total Interchurch budget
of 336,777,572 which is to be sub
scribed during the week of April -

leader. Until one is hired, the Coun-
ty Agent will give all assistance pos
sible.
Some of the banks have been inter
viewed in regard to lending money
to boys and girls with which to buy
animals. They are anxious to CO.
operate in this work. Any boy or girl
who wants to borrow money should
get in touch with their local bank or
notify the Farm Bureau office. This
transaction will be carried out in a
businesslike way-the boy or girl
signing a note and paying go inter
est. The note can be paid up when
this animal is sold. Probably some
older person will be asked to sign the
by state law.
Every assistance will be given
whenever the boys and girls wish to
sell their animals whether it is year
or two years from now. If enough
get into this contest, it is possible
that an auction might be planned to
dispose of these animals for the boys
and girls.
The first thing to do, then, is to
enroll in this contest. Fill out this
form and send to the Farm Bureau
office right away. Young people
should have one of their parents sign
this form also.

merchants have feared, to lower Am
