Educational Convention
By Frederick Griggs
THE announcement has already been made of the Educational Convention which the General Conference Committee has called, to be held at College View, Neb., June 12-21. I wish again to impress upon those who are interested in our educational work the importance of this convention. The General Conference Committee is anxious that this convention shall mark an era of great progress in our educational work. A program has been prepared, and topics assigned to various educational and conference workers. The list of topics is as follows: The Philosophy of History; Address, “Our Message;” History; Address, “Bible in Education;” Science; Address, “Science;” Relation of Church, Intermediate, Union, and Medical Schools to One Another; Language; Organization of Church Schools; Address, “Philosophy;” The Training of Business Men; School Work in the South; Industrial Work; Stereopticon Lecture, “Southern Schools;” Text-books; Address, “Education for Missions;” Physiology Teaching; Supplying Conferences with Workers; Stereopticon Lecture, “Education for Medical Missionary Work;” Support of Church Schools; Address, “Discipline;” Address, “The Reward of Service.” The purpose in preparing this program is to enable us to labor toward a definite end in the work of the convention, yet there will be an opportunity for the consideration of any question of merit which should properly come before the convention, even though it is not embraced in the program. Arrangements have been made with the management of Union College by which room and board can be secured for a nominal price at the college dormitories. Those coming to the convention can take any street cars upon arriving at Lincoln, Neb., and ask for a transfer to the College View line. A five-cent fare only is charged from any railway station to College View. Let there be a full attendance at this important meeting.
