January 6, 1909. TH I Educational STATESVILLE FEMALE COLLEGE. % It will be pleasant to the friends and patrons of Statesville Female College to learn that a gift of $3,000 has beeu made to that institution. This money will be used in meeting outstanding obligations Incurred in building Shearer Music Hall. The gift was secured by the efforts of Drs. Shearer and Richards. J. A. Scott. CHAMBERLAIN-HUNT ACADEMY. Chamberlain-Hunt Academy of Port Gibson, Miss., which is ^he Synodical School for boys of that Synod, has recently received an offer of $10,000 to be added to the endowment fund of the institution, from a generous friend in New York, on condition that the Synod raise in six months $13,000 to pay off some debts of the school. At the recent meeting of the Synod at Grenada, $2,000 was raised in subscriptions, mostly from the ministers an dthe few elders present. Rev. M. E. Melvin was elected financial agent, with Jiuairucnons to taKe toe neid at once to raise the above amount. He has succeeded well so far and hopes not only to have the above debt raised soon, but Ian endowment fund raised that will equal the bonded debt of the school, $25,000. This bonded debt is cared fpr by the present endowment of $24,732, and hence there is no income to the school from its endowment. The offer of $10,000 will constitute a part of this, leaving $15,000 to raise aside from the $13,000. This is a big undertaking. But the PresbyterIan church has in this institution a plant worth $85,000, to which they have never contributed anything. This amount is asked to let it live and become a factor ip the church for providing young men for the ministry. There are now more juuug men at uiarKsvme rrom tms institution than from any other represented there. Besides this there are mofe candidates for the ministry at Cfarksvllle than from any other school. The school is educating seven young men by giving them work. Others are seeking to get in. The whole management has been changed, until the school " represents now everything that the church could want. All members of the faculty are Christian men of character, and all are Presbyterians and all are men of experience. In the judgment of the leading men of the Synod of Mississippi there is no place at present where men of means and big hearts cau make a better investment for permanent good than at this institution, which now has as its definite aim, the turning of young men into the ministry of the church. We want five men who will invest $1,000 each, five who will invest $500 each, and ten who will invest $250 each. This will give the school an endowment of $50,000, with what it has, and free it from debt. Some of these we have found. Who will consider the proposition? In smaller amounts we will raise the balance with ease. The school now has the best prospect that it has ever had. This is a time for sacrifice on the part of Presoyterlan people. * M. E. Melvln.
