Instead of a let-up in support people of all (hutches should contribute mora now than ever for the support and ? adequate" - -"development of our church schools. The leade:s: of church schools are not able to tap the resources from which come large^Ums for education, despite the fact that our colleges are confronted with dwindling endowments-and are given very little by philanthropists and nothing do they receive from federal funds appropriated for ed-j - ucation. Kditor P. B. "^oung of the Noi folk JcAirnal and Guide had much to say on this subject in an edi. tiVrial in his paper last week. \V< reprint his excellent comment on this subject as food for thought "The emphasis being laid b > church leaders on the necessity foi greater sacriftcr^ tmvarrts mainte. nance of schools under the auspices of various denominations is justified in the face of dwindling endowments * and contributions from the constituents themselves and liberal white friends <rf long standing. "The steady gfowth and expansion of many I^and Grant Colleges and state supported institutions are enucing students already en rolled, and prospective ones, away from church schools because of inferior equipment, lack of proper leadership training, and administrative efficiency.

Todas more than e'er, religious educa tun is a prime necessity. Academic learning is important, but our civilization is -ecedirg because we hav-? over-emphf.sizcd culture 01 the mind while undermining1 cub lure of the spirit.
