Notice to Readers of “Christian Education”

By W. E. H.

It has been decided to omit the June number of our educational magazine and print an August number instead. Since we had expected to hold an educational convention this summer, it was thought best to omit the usual campaign number which we have issued in June the past four years and throw our strength on the observance of Educational Sabbath, August 8.

The August number will therefore be virtually our campaign number. It will contain the readings for Educational Sabbath, which is to be devoted to the interests of our colleges and academies. Besides the readings, there will be advertisements of our leading advanced schools, with a special write-up of each school that advertises. There will be also much other matter suitable to the occasion, including foreign mission and home education features.

The special aim of this number of the magazine and of this our second Educational Sabbath will be threefold: to acquaint all our people with the name, number, and location of our advanced schools; to arouse an interest in advanced education, with the reasons why this is timely and important; and to make a strong united effort to fill every room and every seat in every college and academy in the land. To this end let all our parents, churches, and workers plan and work and pray.

It is our plan to have the August number of the educational magazine ready for the mail by July 20. I expect to prepare copy for the printer during the first week of June at Walla Walla College, College Place, Wash. I should be most happy to receive from our college and academy men and from our field workers statistical facts, school information, suggestions, or contributions that will help make this issue of the magazine and the observance of this Educational Sabbath tell to the greatest possible extent for the advancement of our schools in educating workers to share in the world’s great harvest home.
