The Board of Education is having its troubles in connection with select- irig a site fpr the new building and finding some one to take the bonds. ' The bonds were supposed to have been sold to a Toledo firm who agreed to pay a premium of $25 and pay for the printing of the bonds. Last Satur-' day, Mr. Jackson received word from tlie Toledo people that they would re­ fuse to take the bonds,. It had been proposed to sell the bonds a t private sale in' the interest: of economy, thus saving two publica­ tions and as many weeks time would be gained. Some of the member# ur­ ged the advertisement . Of the bonds and a public sale hut the advice of the Prosecutor prevailed among the mem­ bers and the sale was made to the To­ ledo firm over the telephone by Presi dent Stormont The notice required that the purchaser deposit five per cent of the bid with the clerk as a guarantee but we find that this part of the contract was never fulfiled and the board and taxpayers are out $3,750. Now it will be necessary for the Board to start over, and make some effort to stay within range of the law or no bonds will ever & sold. The plan adopted by the board in the first place was laughted'at by leading at­ torneys, bankers and business men in the county that had had experience in the bond business. The same day that the school bonds were*sold*and only $25 premium offered, Montgomery county sold a $75,000 issue and re-, ceived more than $2,200 premium. The sale was open to the public and a —Yes, Mother, pray onl « —The Mother’s influence and prayers are not lost. —Don Kyle is leader of the C, U, for Sabbath evening. —There is more power in a Mother's hand than in 'a king's scep­ tre. —Friends of, Robert Harris will ad­ dress him, Marine Barracks, Norfolk, Va. —The boy may be trusted who keeps no secret from bis Mother, —“The man who is ignorant and is a Christian is a better citizen, than the man "who is educated and is not a Christian." —Attieus happily put it, at bis mother's funeral, when he said, *T lived 67 years with her, without be­ lief good premium was received, though county bonds usually bring slightly Notice is hereby given ■ th a t all vaults, rubbish, trash and ashes must be cleaned up and carried away by May 12.1015, ih accordance with the Ohio laws and village ordinances.

The committee on a site, consisting of Messrs. Stormont and Hamman, re­ ported several options and a vote was taken which resulted in the site iust north of the college, belonging to Mrs. L. G.

But what of those faculty members who are hostile to religion, or so far in advance of the church that they ig­ nore it? An eighteen-year-old daughter of a minister entered the freshman class of a university. One of her courses was biology. In the same class and division was another ,-oung lady, the daughter of an elder >f the same denomination as her ather. These two girls became close friends and worked together in tlie aboratory. One of the faculty roera- ?ers took particular pains to point ut that the theory of evolution upset he traditional interpretation of the scripture and that no reputable scien- 1st now believed the Old Testament. Sven omo.ng the faculty members who ire classed as members of church or :ongregation, things are taught which end to upset the faith of children n the covenant. What wifi he the effect on these .-hurclies if the education of so large a number of the very best, of young pen -and women from Christian homes in an atmosphere sueh as the •Survey shows the state institutions to lave? Can the church hope to neu- ralize the positively irreligious in- luence by placing a student pastor at his university ? I t takes a good deal if courage for one of those men, no .natter how strong his convictions nay be, to go into a university town which is dominated by the atmosphere if the university, as most state uni­ versity. cities are, and into the stu- lent body of that university and teach he traditional and orthodox view as ield by the evangelistic churches. The man who dares to do it will be dubbed m ignoramus and will suffer perse­ cution. The writer would submit that the better and saner way for the church is o give its money to the distinctly Christian college and to send its sons ind daughters there* The pastor owes it to his people to ,present' the -Haims of the denominational college for both students and money. Par­ ents have a right to know the danger which threatens their children’s be- life in-sending them to non-religious universities and to be warned of the results. „ THINGS *Y0U CAN GET AT WOLFORDS; You oaa get any kind of mower and binder sections, guard plates, pitman rods and heads, • Shovels for any cultivator made.

The Survey of tfiS Relation of the Churches to State Universities pre­ sented to the Conference o f Church Workers in State Unlviersitiea con­ tains some figures which, if they rep­ resent facts, certainly ought to cause Christian parents to consider very carefully the selection of a College for son or daughter. • 4 . The Survey was made and the re­ port prepared by those who, are in sympathy with state university edu­ cation methods and work and there­ fore cannot be accused of a prejudice against the university which would tend to color statistics. The report is made from data re­ ceived from fifty institutions. . In these institutions the total number of faculty members is 7,515. Of that number a little more than half arc members of some church, or more or loss regular in attendance on some church. The report does not pre­ sume to say what part of these four thousand faculty member* who attend church more or less regularly arc members of the church. They arc classified as "members of the church or congregatlorf—that is, those Who are known to be interested in any way in the support of the church." Of the remaining almost .three thou­ sand five hundred who are in no way connected with any church the report says: "Many of them may he deeply interested in religion; some of them feel that they are in advance of the churches and that the churches are to be ignored in planning for the ad­ vance movements; some are indiffer­ ent to the entire subject; some arc hostile." Continuing, the report says: "Whatever uncertainty there may be as to the meaning of this part of the survey, it is clearly evident that the churches have not kept pace with the growth of the universities and have, by their own neglect, lost much of their rightful leadership in educa­ tion." The report does not make it clear why this is true. Perhaps it could he shown that men who are indifferent or hostile to the Christian religion have so distinguished themselves in the progress of the race that the church should accept them as leaders, but it would be difficult to make edu­ cated men believe it. Or it may be that the men who feel that they ate in advance of the church and therefore ivnore it are the ones who are leading tlie forces of righteousness to victory, but there arc few who will believe One quite naturally asks: In what particular has the church not kept pace with the growth of the univer­ sities? If It is th a t the church has not been willing to give up her faith in the Bible and accept the destructive teaching Which is eagerly accepted hv so many faculty members with­ out investigation on their part, then the church must plead guilty. But if the report implies that the church has fallen behind in social Service, philanthropy and reform, then one must take issue. It is not tha t the church has done less, hut that the uni­ versity has advertised more.
