 Baptists of Alabama Tn centennial convention devoted the third day of the meeting today to educational problems confronting the denomina- tion. Reports of the three colleges, Howard at Birmingham, Judson at Marion and Newton institute at New ton, occupied almost the entire de- liberative time of the meetings and 1t was evidenced that the Baptists will in the ensuing year, make greater strides in education than they have in any year of the 12 years of their history in this state.
 Resolutions pledging to Howard and Judson the annual sums of S16, 900 until the endowments of the in- stitutions has been completed were unanimously passed and subscription from the floor of s2,500 were the out standing achievements in a day filled with enthusiasm for education.
 Towards cause was eloquently placed before the convention by John c. Dawson, president of the conven- tion; P c. Ratliff, president of the board of trustees; Victor H. Hanson, Birmingham publisher; J. W. Fucker of Lafayette, and Frank Willis Bar nett of Birmingham The burden of all the messages was that Howard was facing a critical period in it's history and that it needed desperately new buildings and new equipment with which to take. care of the 25 per cent increase In the student body expected next year. MT. Fucker re- being devout the greatest thing was education in Christian schools.
