Project To Purchase
Beautiful Monticello.

Announcement that jefferson Nj.

contest of opinions a few years ago
when Mrs. Martin w. Llttleton

The atmosphere and spirit OF the

better place to live in.
Nothing could be more commend
able than to begin life with such
IDEAS and with inspiring hope of
great and worthy accomplishments.
No wonder IL they all seem to be
happy!
Meanwhile, and awaiting the great
achievement of a lifetime, the girls
give plays and charades ard poke

Impromptu costumes, lovely music,

gayest fashion and cause one to feel

In addition to the regular studies

AS TO THE LOCATION OF THE

Richmond, Va, Aug. 18.-Much has
been said by the advocates of Char-

effect that great medical school hns
been conducted and is being conduct
ed at Ann Arbor, and the advocates
of Richmond have been asked to e..
plain why Virgini;; cannot do what
Michigan has done.
We would like to call your atten.
ton to some of the expenditures for
medical education at the University
of Michigan.
Eliminating equipment items for

for administration and teaching. cost
$2o5, 294.67; i'll addition to that. the

MULTIPLICATION AND DUPLICA-

The building of churches and
the founding of schools should b1
encouraged from every point of view.
But there can be too many Of both
churches and schools, that is, schools
other than the common country
school, and even these may be I'M
necessarily multiplied. What we arc
trying to say is. that, where an
academy or institution of learning
already exists and meeting the de-
mand, to rush in and BUILD another
in order to propagate certain denomi-
national views. is wrong-a waste of
time and money. and building highl
err and higher the walls of sectarar..
ism, and contributing directly to All
already divided Christianity. This is
preeinently true in regard to null
tiplying churches in small towns AMI
communities already occupied. Each
Reorganization concludes that church
of their faith and order is absolu-
tely necessary to the coming of the
Kingdom, and church is built WITH
funds begged from already i'm
poverished people. and its life is !,
constant struggle and its work ne,
essarily inefficient. The religious
forces and resources are divided AMI
stretched to the breaking point.
Where the field is already occ,..
pied by an orthodox religious de
nomination, by schools and church
other denominations should stay OUT
and seek out some destitute field for
their activities. One strong school
and one strong church is far more
efficient than two weak ones. Instead
OF multiplying and increasing schools
and churches where both are already
established, consolidation would be
far better, and this would he tho
case i'll many instances but for the
prevalence of scctarian bigotry md
UNCONVENTIONAL phariseeism.
