The most interesting subject for me since I have decided, is whether I shall attend a church school or a statd .school. I think I have about.come to the conclusion that it is best for me to attend a church school. In the first place the pupil re ceives more individual attention. For instance, while at a recitation, if therer is a large class, a pupil will probably not get one question a week, because there are so many to get around to, and at the end of the month the pupil will not be prepared to takd the examinations. They have no studied as they would hs- J if they had had a question every day. This is the case in a state col lege, while in a church college it is' quite' the other way, because there ure not so many pupils. Therefore, they stand a better showing. In the next place, you will re ceive more religious which means world tWi any other education ail education which simply •rams tke head with information and never muchea the. spring of life and vonduct, nmy ea.sily do more harm' than good." Herbert Spencer said:' "To educate.tlM reason without et|u ' eating the desire is (ike placing the repenting rifle in the hands of a |£V rtge." >H was right, If a man has vicious motives and we give him in i.dditio i a trained mind, we thertihy e -able him the more to * irry his vicious motives into exe cution jo the detriment of the world. In a church college thttoe are more religious organisations in which the f iipils have a chamo to lead, it is true that there.arc some of these or ganisations in the\state schools, but there are so pupils, that 'they all do not have a chance. At a church school pupils are required to take a course it) Bible vtltH'h is the |icats» t ' study jn the wuild, ■ while at a xtae school they do not re qulr« It in all degrees. They also require to go to church and Sunday School sunjay, ' Jn i» thuroh college the pupils are taken care of better. That is, they j are chaperoned better and are not 1 allowed Jo do »s thfy like, and vhatj goes a long way, for "The' world places more value upon the moral character mere mental aumen. T|ic| world needs it more. Jt pays to be a leader of men, and not a trailer of\he crowd," '"fb e college goes an the theory that the •s( ul of educ||iAn is thel education ef the »OUL" V: t —- - People calim that the state col leges have better teachers. . They may have In some instances as far as education is concerned, but it not so, as far as religion is ed. Rut anyway, church'iWiOols now have professoifi of the highest type. Some of the State Colleges havo teachers that do not belongs to 9 church and soma even believe there is no God. Who wants their boy or girl to go to a teacher who believes (here is no God? Nobody could,' it seems to me, whp has read the prin ciples of success aright. "No institutions in the world do better work from a purely nducatlon al standpoint, and none are more loyal to the fundamental principles of our leligious faith. In their walls the future leadership of the South is being largely developed. You should by all means be among those who are receiving the' benefits of their service." Thus we see that church schools, though small, have many advantagdU and should be patronized by (is. —- (By Selma Johnson, Oak Ctty High School.)
