PROF. C. C. LEWIS reports most encouragingly of the work at Walla Walla College. The enrolment so far for the year is about one hundred and seventy-five. Of this number about fifty are in the church school. The week of prayer brought most encouraging results to the school. About fifty students volunteered for foreign work, and five hundred dollars was donated. Since the week of prayer eleven have been baptized, and others are preparing for baptism. These encouraging features show the benefits derived from placing our young people in our schools. This school suffered most severely last year from the illness of its students, but this year they have been in good health.

The Report of the Educational Convention of Seventh-day Adventist Teachers, held at College View, Neb., is not out of date. While it may ultimately be out of publication, it will never be out of date. The principles discussed can not change—they are eternal. The report of these discussions should be read by every Seventh-day Adventist; for the principles of Christian education are a fundamental part of this message. These reports can be had by addressing Frederick Griggs, South Lancaster, Mass. The price is twenty-five cents.

In response to the request for the names and addresses of Seventh-day Adventists who are teaching in the public schools, a goodly number of teachers have replied. From these replies, we might infer that the idea obtains that the names were wished of only those teaching in the public schools who desire, when so circumstanced as to be able to do so, to teach in our own schools. But this idea is not correct. The Department of Education of the General Conference wishes the names of all Seventh-day Adventists now teaching in the public schools, whether they are desirous of teaching in our denominational schools or not. However, we can but trust that every Seventh-day Adventist who is now working in the public schools is anxious to work in our own schools. There is a dearth of teachers in our schools. The time can not be far off when our people can not teach in the public schools. Why not make the change now when the force of circumstances is not compelling? The Lord loves the cheerful giver. These names and addresses should be sent to the secretary of the Educational Department, Frederick Griggs, South Lancaster, Mass.
