Report of the Educational Convention

By Editor

The educational convention held at College View, Neb., June 28 to July 10, under the auspices of the Educational Department of the General Conference, was without doubt the most important educational meeting in the history of the denomination. It was the largest convention we ever held, and the field was most widely represented. The relation of our educational work to the message was never before so clearly seen or so forcibly presented. A general missionary movement was started to bring the schools and the fields into closer touch. Courses of study were carefully worked out and unanimously adopted, covering the church and intermediate schools, academies, colleges, and training-schools. Text-books were adopted so far as any have been produced specially adapted to the work of our denominational schools; the entire proceedings were conducted in a beautiful spirit of Christian unity and manliness, the conclusions reached being unanimous. The story of this epoch-making gathering is now in preparation by the Department of Education. It will be published by the Union College Press, and will be ready in a few weeks. Every Seventh-day Adventist will want to read it. It will increase his faith and renew his courage. The report will contain more than one hundred pages, and the price will be but ten cents. Send your orders at once. Lay the matter before the members of the church, and order in clubs, or singly if you prefer. But do it now, that we may know how many to print. Address all letters, and make all orders payable, to the Union College Press, College View, Neb.
