O.
Rev. E. Powell delivered a
strong address on the subject of
whether the schools should be call-

His argument favored the latter,

of the Presbyterian school, and
Miss Annie Leonard Tyson of the
Baptist school.
The statistical reports of the
several schools was not so good as
at the previous meeting, the falling

The next union will be held in

was made of the different
