He has just returned' from Charleston, the hot bed of African Meth odisnl in this state where thousands heard him and were inspired. His engagement with the pastor and congregation of Bethel church here was the only reason why he could not spend another Sunday visiting, the many other churches in Charleston.^ when hundreds of members of other .de nominations as well as our owr stood ready to greet him.

Has 90 per cent Holding Power This year the institution revealed a holding power with old students that was slightly above ninety percent. A part of this loss of old students is accounted for through graduation. Txtra-c utricular Program Begun Good beginnings have been made in many extra-curricular activities as well as in classroom work Already plans are being perfected for work in dramatics, musid? community activities or various sorts and conferenjfces, including one inter-racial meeting. The first lyceum number for the year," held during the week of Sen tember 21 was mosjt interesting and very largely attended. This number consisted of an illustrated lecture on the life and customs of the people of Liberia at which time Dr. William Elmo Tabb of New York City and London, fnr three y^nrq engaged in educa"tional, missionary and scientific work in Liberia, discussed the life and customs of the people of Lb beria and showed moving pictures to illustrate same. It was interesting to note that in many sections societies such as the Leopard which deals .in cannibalism and resorted to by governmental officials when they-find it difficult to get certain matters handled; the Poison society which gets rid of its enemies through poison; and the Baboon society which has thievery as its main feature; are still some of greatest powers in many sec tions of Liberia.
