The Convention

By F. G.

We wish to call attention again to our educational convention, to be held at Emmanuel Missionary College, Berrien Springs, Mich., June 10-20. We wish it had been possible to place the new dates of this a little earlier, as it would then have avoided a conflict with quite a number of camp-meetings. But this could not be done, owing to the fact that several of our schools do not close in time to admit of an earlier date. So we shall urge our educators to arrange for others to look after the educational interests at those camp-meetings which this convention obliges them to omit.
We are very desirous that the educational secretaries of the union conferences, the principals of our intermediate schools, and the presidents and heads of all departments of our training-schools, be in attendance at this meeting. As has been previously announced, it is to be devoted principally to the work of our training-schools. The departments have been arranged into groups, to be called sections. The work of these sections will have a direct bearing upon that of the convention as a whole, as they will make such recommendations to the convention for adoption as appear to them to be wise and for the interests of the several departments.
Our school work is a basic one, in the advancement of this message. From our schools must come laborers for all departments of the cause. It is incumbent upon us to develop our schools in all lines to the very highest degree of efficiency. While it will mean much in the way of expense, time, and effort, to conduct this convention, we believe that it will be of inestimable value to the improvement of our educational work; for what improves the advanced school affects very directly all other grades of schools. So we trust that our school boards, and our educators as a whole, will bend every effort to make this convention a rousing success.
We will speak next week of the matter of room, board, etc.
