and took definite action on the ques-
tion, which will mean great benefit
to the future of the pupils at Tan

consolidating the Laurel Branch and
Little Valley schools and deciding to
build a modern three room building
here on a site denoted by Mrs. S.
c. Holmes. They found the Laurel
Branch and Little Valley School
buildings obsolete and the school pop-
ulation too large for two room
building. So they decided if the cit
liens of this section would raise 500
the estimated one-third of the cost
they would build three-room build
ing and hope to conduct a Junior
High School. The citizens responded
generously, and almost $500 was sub
scribed Immediately and by the time
the plans nre made and work begun
Will possibly be over the top in sub,
scription. The citizens here appreci-
ate the interest taken by Clerk of
the Board, j. B. Crabtree in the
building of the school, at his old
nome place and by his generosity by
heading the subscription list with p
donation of $4,000. 1t is planned TO

So, in the light of all the facts, as
well as the above observations stat
ed, it is not unreasonable but per-
fectly proper. to attach conditions to
|'gifts such as is under consideration
Nor, as it is shown. is Rluefield Col
legc made an exception by the Home
Board of the Southern Baptist Con-
'vention touching the conditions of
the gift at issue.
This letter is not intended as re-
buttal to your editorial, yet your ed
itorial does prompt it; but as pub
lie statement of this splendid gift,
together with its provisions and the
suggested conditions which support
these provisions.
The effect of this gift upon our
movement for Million Dollars for
Bluefield College is electrical. All
our hearts are made glad and we
are very grateful for it. 1t really
guarantees much earlier fulfillment
of the large plans for our College.
l feel sure that such n statement
as is herein made, though little
lengthy, will be highly appreciated
by the good people Of Tazewell and
Tazewell County. Therefore, OH ac-
count of this, and on account of your1
editorial of last week, l am suggest
ing that you publish thtis letter in

agement of our College will thank
you most heartily.

THE ERROR CORRECTED.

Mr.. ]. NJ. Newton. Secretary of the
Board of Trustees of Blueficld Col
lege, in personal note to the Ed
itor and DR.. Lnndsdell, President OF
the College, both call attention to
the error in an editorial in last weeks
issue, about amount given Bluefiela
College by Home Mission Board,
The machine man left out cipher,
which made us say $4,000 instead of
$500 900, and the error got by the
proof reader.
AS to the Stirring" tied to the gift,
the idea expressed came from an ed
itorial in the Religious Herald. Ac-
cording to DR.. Landsdell's article. the
Editor was not far wrong, as tho
Board, he states, will give $4.O0 for
every $l.00 raised by the Baptists of
the State. This "mistakc" in the ar
ticle shows that the boys" read the
paper also gave opportunity for
some interesting and important re-
marks by DR.. Landsdell.-E Editor.
