FROM sUPT.
or EDUCATION

The annual meeting Of the Mis-
sissippi Education Association will
be held in jackson On the 18th,
14th, and 18th of April. We are
looking forward to this as the out
standing meeting in the history Of
the Mississippi Education Associ-
alton. The Executive Committee,
|l..4cr the leadership OF NJ. r. Bush
president Of the Association. has
arranged an unusually good pro-
gram and we feel that it will be
worth the time Of every teacher
in the state TO attend. We are
expecting the largest attendance
we have ever had, and we wish
to suggest that boards of trustees
lof schools of the state grant Il
holiday on Friday, April Is, Pei
viding the teachers wish to attend
the Association.
We also wish to call your at
tention to a public Forum Confer
lence which will be held in Gulf
port on the 9Th and 9th of April.
DIR. Joseph Kornfield and DR.. A.
E. Casgrain, Field Representa-
tives Of the Federal Forum Pro-
ject, Washington, d. G., will be

rates Of $1.25 and $1.50 per per-
son, two to the room, and 42.0O
and $3.50, for single rooms have
been agreed upon for the visitors
to this conference.
We feel that there is nothing
more important to the people Of
Mississippi than well conducted
forums. Through this means, the
people Of the various communi-
ties may become better informed
in regard to the national and To-
cal problems discussed in the meet
ings. A number Of communities
in the state have shown wonderful
interest in the work and we hol.l
the distinction of making the best
record Of any state in this work.
We r looking forward to this
conference with the hope that it
will prove to be a stimulus to the
interest already given to forum
work in the state, and hope that
it viii be possible for representa-
tives to be present from a large
number of communities Of the
state.

LUTHERANS HEAR
SKEPT|C|SM HIT
Goddess Professors Also
Attacked in Address
Before Convention.
b. tie Associated Press.

BALTIMORE, Oct 8-The god
less professor" and tendency toward
skepticism" in secular educational in
stitutions were attacked today in 4
sharply worded address before the
Convention of the United Lutheran
Church in America.
Leveling the verbal attack was the
Rev. DR.. Paul Kraus of Fort Wayne.
Ind. 4 retiring member OF the church's
Board of Education and one of two
spokesmen on the boards report to
the convention.
The most dangerous element in
our American life is not to be found
in our slum, nor in our industrial
cities with their struggles between
labor and capital. nor in the agri-
cultural sections of our Nation, nor
in Washington" Dr. Kraus asserted.
The most dangerous spot in Amer
ican life is to be found in the field
OF secular education. The greatest
enemy Of Christianity Is the goddess
professor. He may be sincere in
searching after truth; but there Is no
WACIOh 6P04t AlOuA AIUAs
Fears Skepticism.
DR.. Kraus said he wished It were
unnecessary for us to have Lutheran
student pastors at our State universi-
ties. Yet there is . most vital neces-
sity for it. There is general ten
dency toward skepticism in our secu-
lar institutions OF education, 4 skep-
ticism that breeds cynicism."
DR.. Gould Wickey of Washington,
also commenting on the boards re-
port, asserted that "the world is hos
tile to the church"
I'VE must recognize and accept that
fact" he told the 1000 clergymen
and church leaders attending the 11th
biennial convention.
Therefore, it becomes the RESPONSE
bility of the Christian colleges to mold
the future of the church so that her
defensive and offensive life may con-
tinue to be strong to meet the worlds
hostility. and If we of the United
Lutheran Church are to provide this
progression enabling of q virile and
militant gospel ministry and laity.
we must give our colleges more ade-
quate support. We've been positively
| niggardly hitherto"
Educational Program Urged.
The boards report called for q
strengthening OF the church's educa-
tional program. asserting that only
the Catholic Church Is seriously main
tanning q complete program OF edu-
cation
In 1890 there were 1000 academies,
Of which $500 were church related"
the report stated. In 1895 the Cath
olic Church had $50 academies, while
In 1880 it had 1000.
THE Protestant churches too easily
gave up their responsibility in primary
and secondary education. They
thought the Sunday school and young
peoples work were sufficient"
