Religious Education
at WoffOrd College
Prof A. NJ. Traywick to Be at
Head Of New Department

York, Sept. 13.-With Prof. a.
NJ Traywick, A. 3. 3. D., in charge
a Department Of Religious Educa-
tion has been established at Wof-
ford College, Spartanburg, accord
ing to announcement received
here and will begin It's work at the
approaching term of that we'll
known college.
In leafet bearing on the new
department Prof. Traywick says
among other things:
The general purpose of this de-
fold: Cd to train college men to
think of religion and the church
with the same accuracy and thor
oughness. that they give science
and other facts of human activity;
Cd to study the fundamental prin-
ciples Of religion and the methods
Of teaching religion; CD to assist
men in acquiring the right motive
and spirit for leadership anG SER
vice in the organized church.
Both church and college recog-
niZe the need OF definite religious
education not alone for ministers
and missionaries. but equally for
laymen who believe that religion
should be the controlling influence
in the world Of human affairs. Re-
spending to an insistent demand,
religious education in the church
and in the college is rapidly gath
ering sentiment, creating litera
ture, and erecting standards Of ef-
ficiency, by means Of which the
combined forces Of right living are
TO be more surely matched with
the worlds needs The church col
lege recognizes its definite func-
lion in this work, and is offering
it's resources and equipment to as
SiSt students to fird in the church
their largest opportunity OF intelli-
gent interest and activity.
This department Will seek to CO.
operate with the other departments
Of instruction with the purpose to
qualify students for active support
and leadership of religious educa-
ton in their home churches and
communities. \ total OF twenty
four semester hours is offered. and
the student who completes the full
work offered in these courses Will
be entitled to certificate Of Sradu-
alton in Religious Education.

New Orleans, Sept. 15.-The market as

stronger due 10 reports OF further heavy

stating that the crop will be gathered
early, in some instances with the first
picking, weather permitting.
If evidences is required TO support the
claim that trade in textiles is expanding
the world over, the following exports OF
raw cotton from the United States for
month OF August compared with CORE
spending month last year. and The fact
that American mills consumed 467 900
bales of lint last month against 10000 dur
ing July, should suffice:
Exports t. Great Britain .6S 900 against

COTTON

Cotton, in the first year of the
war, when the foreign market was
cur off, went begging at 10 cents
a pound. On the crest of the war
boom It rose, to 40 cents, and high
er. Then, with bumper crop and
hard times, it dropped almost to
10 cents again, with no proportion
ate drop in production and living
costs. Naturally that spelled ca
lamify to the cotton belt and the
whole south, and aggravated ma
tional depression. Now. with cot
ton selling around 20 cents, which
is somewhere near what it is real
~ worth, growers are rejoicing and
the whole south feels the stimulus
in reviving business activity, while
the northern states are fayorably
affected by it.
It is a, curious thing that short
crop should bring better times. We
have become accustomed to the
economic dictum that prosperity is
necessarily based on plentiful pro-
duction. There is not. howe yer, any
necessary contradiction.
1t is to be observed that there
is no real shortage OF cotton. Sew
en million bales means a short
crop, but there is enough hold-over
from last year to bring the total
up to the. average yield and up to
the worlds normal requirements:
All that has happened. therefore.
is. restoration of a normal price
for this great staple, which will
save its producers from ruin with
out inflicting any necessary hard
ship on consumers.
The south seems likely to gain a
half billion dollars or more from
the market rise. The cotton users
of the world can easily absorb that,
if it is passed on to them. without
extortionate increase. Indeed, so
little comparatively has the cost Of
raw cotton to do with the price Of
most manufactured cotton cloth
that there is said to be small rea-
son, in most cases, why this rise
which means salvation to the
south should affect the retail price
at all.
