ton. If, at this time, the state adopts
q policy of improving normal school
plants in other cities, passing over
the recognized need for a building at
River Falls, the growth and develop
ment of this school will be seriously
handicapped,
In the near future some Of the
Wisconsin normal schools will be
authorized to offer four year courses
and to grant degrees. These favored
schools will be designated as teacher
colleges. When this time comes for
the selection of certain of the Normal
Schools for these new dignities, those
institutions which have the best
school plants and the most improved
or up-to-date equipment, will be des-
ignated. The schools which are not
authorized to offer the four year
courses with degrees must, of neces-
sity, become second rate schools anu
viii inevitably fall farther and
farther behind the more favored in
stitutions, as the result of natural
competitive forces.
Growing enrollments in the schools
situated in more populous districts
of the state will create legitimate de-
mands for buildings. The schools at
Milwaukee, Stevens Point and Eau
Claire win soon be pressing for build
ings.
The above consideration makes it
seem impressive that the River calls
school secure its building now The
enrolment in the school, the size of
graduating classes and the character
of the courses now being conducted
are such as to command the favorable
attention of administrative boards
and legislative committees to the
Importance of training school build
ing for this institution. Building
needs at other Normal Schools, with
the exception Of Oshkosh, are not be-
ing pressed at the present time. The
recent report Of the State Board Of
Public Affairs indicates that funds
will be available in the next biennium
for some building projects for Nor
NAL Schools without additional taxes.

President Calvin Coolidge and Re
ligious Education.
"Our government rests upon re-
ligion. 1t is from that source that
we derive our reverence for truth and
Justice, for equality and liberty and
for the rights of mankind: Unless the
people believe in these principles,
they cannot believe in our govern
ment.
There are two main theories of
government in the world. One rests
upon righteousness, the other rests
on force. One appeals to reason, the
other appeals to the sword.
at was because of what Bishop
Asbury and his associates preached,
and what other religious organiza-
tions through their ministry preach
ed, that our country has developed so
much to the civilization of the
world"
ut is well to remember this when
we are seeking for social reforms.
If we can keep in mind their sources
we shall better understand their
limitations. The government of a
country never gets ahead of the re-
ligion of the country. There is no
way by which we can substitute the
authority of law for the virtue OF
man. Of course, we can help to re-
train the vicious and maintain fair
degree of security and protection by
legislation and police control, but the
real reforms which will come as a
result of our religious convictions,
or they will not come at all. Peace,
justice, humanity, charity-these
cannot be legislated into being. They
are the result of Divine Grace.
IF this country is to meet success
fully the problems confronting it to-
day, there must be first of all greater
recognition of the spiritual side of
life; there must be a more wide
spread acknowledgement of the obli-
cations that We owe to use our power
and strength for the general welfare
and for the redemption of humanity.
The Sunday schools furnish today
the great agency by which these
spiritual ideals may be made a part
of the lives of the younger generation
of Americas and the growth of the
schools will mark the spread of these
principles.

The intermediate department of the
Congregational church is doing some
very good work in the memorization
of certain passages of the Bible.
Their most recent work has beer on
Psalms I, %, "a, 100 and 121. They
hope to have these Psalms completely
memorized by next Sunday.
These young people are also being
given some jolly, good times which
will stay by them as happy memories

Recently Rev. Cheney's class of
fourteen boys, in company with their
teacher, had tobogan slide party.
After the slide-you may not believe
it-but they say that they were
hungry. So they built fire in a
nearby cave, roasted weeiners and
prepared for a real feast. From all
accounts it is hard to say who had
the best time, Mr.. Cheney or the
boys.

In an address delivered last August
at the Worlds Sunday School Con-
vention, Glasgow, Scotland, Rev.
William c. Poole, Phi. D., President of
the Worlds Sunday Association,
spoke as follows:
Il am asked to discuss "The Place
Of Christian Education in World
Evangelism" 1t is a question of re-
lativity. Will it be a substitute for it;
a coordinate with it; or a subordinate
to it? Or is some other relationship
preferable? Again what are our
Christian Education and World
Evangelism for? What is the ulti-
mate objective?
Increasingly we are reaching I'M
animity Of conviction here. 1t is the
achievement of personality in, for,
and through a perfect society-Chris-
tian character in the Kingdom Of God
made possible through personal
Royalties of Jesus Christ. The rule
Of Christ in the lives Of men is the
basal line. The social method Of to-
day is based on self-interest and is
utterly unLChristian. Until competi.
tion is replaced by cooperation, and
