Few musicians have had such a scholastic background or such wide experience in all kinds of musical ed ucation as Prof. Price. His musical education includes work under profes sors from Boston, Milwaukee, Chica go, PAris under Isidor Phillip and Harvard University under J. K. Paine For seventeen years he was a metmber of thei faculty of Faelten Pionforte School of Boston where he taught pi ano, harmony, history and appreciat ion of music. Since 1922 he has been the director of the Wofford Glee Club. The first half hour of each morn ing and night session of the conven tion will be devoted to "Music and Worship." At this time Prof. Price will have entire charge of the pro gram and will give to the convention some idea of hymn evaluations, hist ory, interpretation and use of hymna as well as leading the convention in the real art of worship. In addition to the importance plac ed on worship in religious education throughout the convetnion emphasis will also bo placed on many other (phases of modem church and Sunday School work. At the morning and night sessions of the convention the discussion will be along the general problems in religious education, but each afternoon the convention will di vide into conference groups when more specific problems of the work will be discussed. There will be special conferences for workers in I>aify Vacation Rible Schools, Week Day Schools of Relig ion, and t)he various divisions of the j Sunday School? Children's, Yflling flVople's, Adult and Administrative. Many prominent leaders of the state will speak during the ".-onvent ion. The program committee also slates that Dr. Robert Davids of Chi cago, 111., Miss Daisy Magee of Hick o?y, N. C., and Mrs. S. H. Askew of Atlanta, Ga., will he ntnon? those on the program. Representatives from all parts of the state and of all denominations will be in attendance during the three days, and the Spartanburg local com ?mibttees have plans well under way for 'handling the visiting delegates. All delegates who desire it will be furnished lodging in private homos at the rate of $1.00 per night. No meals will be furnished by the homes as the visiting delegates can secure these at the many down town restaurants. A statement from the officers of the South Carolina Sunday School Association indicates that no regis tration fee will be char (fed, and the sessions are open to any who desire to att<md, however, all persons attend* ing are requested to register. j- Advertl?e in The Messenger COLLEGE RIVALRY SPREADS TO CROP JUDSIN6 CONTESTS Southern Agricultural Students Enter New Form of Com petition With Enthusiasm of Athletic Field and Instructors See Far-Reaching Benefits to F utur e F armers. "Making the Team" does not always mean football, baeeball or basketball. Recently a movement which has gained wide popularity among South ern Agricultural Colleges, has demon strated that the enthusiasm and spirit of a conteBt can be Injected quite as fully Into things of the class room as In the athletic field. It Is extended to inter-collegiate competitions and the students are just as keen to up hold the laurel? of their Alma Mater In these activities as they are In the traditional physical prowess. Attention was drawn to thl? form of college activity by the Southern In ter-Collegiate Krult and Vegetable Judging Coutest l.eld at Atlanta, which was won by a team from the North Carolina State College. This Contest consisted of identification mid Judging of Apples, Pecans and Sweet thern is no reason why the two should oonflict and they do not. but In order to hope for a place on the Fruit ard Vegetable Judging; team, the appMeunt must strive for proficiency in the courses of study which he is c hin* and this proficiency, of course, be comes invaluable later when he leavi s college and takes up the practical ag riculture for which he has been pie paring. "Although such conte?ts lack sadly In fan-appual, they apply college spirit to the individual participants, to things which are genuinely construc tive and practical," said R. S. Gaston, Champion Southern Inter-Collegiate Apple Judge. "College spirit," which demonstrates itself in athletics, de velops the body, of course, but we see now an opportunity to harness it for the development of the Intellect as kj v : ?

One of the testa was th-> correct identification of 40 ?pecimen.? each of Apples, Pecans and Sweet Po tatoes. Judging as to quality "uu! condition was also required. The team was composed of: T. 1) j O'Qulnn, R. S. Gaston, R. W. Zimmei ; man and F. S. Sloan, alternate. They j received a handsome Silver i/ovinr j Cup offered by the Chilean Nitrate o.' i Soda Educational Bureau for the team I making the highest score in judging Apples. The presentation of the Sil ver L/Oving Cup is an instance of the type of educational work being con ducted in the South by the Chilean Nitrate of Soda Educational Bureau. The North Carolina team has scored 3326 points otif of a portable 3.600. which sponsors of the Contest believe to be an outstanding record in fruit and vegetable judging. Its score was 1 perfect in Apple Judging. Second plao was won by Clcmsou College of South Carolina. College officials see in this move ment benefit* far greater than ath letics, although recognizing that the latter has its proper place. In fact. I well. There have always been Inter collegiate debating contests, but In no form of competition between schools 1b the work more useful to the individual participant^ in later life than our Judging Contests." Members of the earn say that the competition to secure a place on It greatly enlarged their knowledge of fruit and vegetables "We have to fight first to make the team," said O'Quinn, Champion South ern Inter-Collegiate Fruit and Vege table Ju<lge, "and then we had to fight to win first place. The benefit* to us will last longer than the most vociferous yells of the packod grand stand." Tho Southern Inter-Collegiate Fruit and Vegetable Judging Contest was the first of an annual series in which ! student teams of all Colleges may , compete. It will be developed Into a | South-wide competition. Indirectly, it has helped to stimulate Interest in | Horticulture, further diversification ' of crops and establishment of close I relations between tho students and I agricultural experts WILSE W.
