BAPTIST TALK
OF EDUCATION
Adjustments OF Curricula
Urged To Meet
Requirements

AMARILLO, Nov. 13.-P)-Dr
NJ. NJ. Wolf Of Houston, present.
ing the report on Christian Educa-
ton, told members Of the Baptist
General Convention OF Texas to-
day that a necessity exists for adj
justments in the curricula OF the
church institutions in order to
meet modern educational stand
ards"
IF baptists are going to stay in
the field OF education at all, they
must seek to give TO those COM
mitted to their care a training Sc
cond to none" he said.
Our standards must be so high
that none can, with justice, re-
fleet upon the quality of the work
done. Baptists therefore will need
to recognize the necessity Of our
schools making adjustments in the
curricula to meet modern educa-
tional standards. II would be fool
ish 10 ignore more utterly the
trends In modern education. Ger
tainly Southern Baptists are in
terested greatly in getting men to
think for themselves and We are
not concerned primarily whether
the thinking shall be branded new
or old, but only that II shall be
true.
Education that Is worthy TO bear
the name Christian must be more
for its students than to reform
them. or to amuse and polish them
or TO make them expert techni ians
in any fields. 1t must teach its
students to believe greatly in a
divine predetermined plan for
their lives, teach them the duty
and necessity to think always for
themselves and teach them 10 do
the will and work Of God"
The convention voted down the
proposal submitted by the Rev.
Roy S. Holloman Of Bryan TO amend
the constitution TO make members
Of the State Executive Committee
ineligible for reelection until after
they had not been on the board for
at least one year. The board is
comprised Of sixty-eight. divided
into three divisions so that not
more than one-third shall retire al
any one time.
