His specialized knowl edge of the peoples dealt with, de rived from a study of their develop- meat made him the best equipped per son to advise concerning the moment ous problems, social, political and economic that awaited solution. “The necessity of the historical ap proach was universally recognized. Only through the medium of history can the man of today make a true appraisal of existing institutions and build the future on stable founda tions."

Richmond. Va., Oct. 25. —Radical changes in the methods of teaching theology in the twelve seminaries of the United Lutheran Church are pro posed in a report delivered today to the biennial convention of that organ ization by its Commission on Theolog ical Education. The Commission pro posed to the governing body of the church that the three-year courses j now offered to students in Lutheran j seminaries should be extended by the j addition of a fourth year to the class- ; es in two of the seminaries, one in the East ami the other in the Middle West. Boards of education in each of the thirty-four synods of the Luth eran Church are urged to extend their ; a : d to students electing to take this J additional year of study. It is suggested . tnat tiie four-year j seminaries be encouraged to develop, alongside of their theological courses, schools of instruction for the laity and the special training of foreign mis sionaries and postgraduate courses in theology. Consolidation of seminaries now loeated in contiguous territory is proposed and a. resolution is offered, providing that hereafter no synod, or group of synods, should organize or locate a theological seminary without first securing the consent of the Unit ed Lutheran Church. . These recommendations are the re sult of a thorough survey of the his- j ,tory apd present status of theological education and-the Commiss : on makes it clear in its report that its purpose is to strengthen the curricula of the seminaries ami to provide for the stu dents sounder instruction in theology, j ANOTHER INCREASE ; .uH COTTON CROP' ; IS NEW FORECAST | ; .
