BIBLE K DIFFICULT mnopwT Dr. Weaver Tells Baptist Con vention Many People Don’t Understand Good Book MACON, Dee. 13.—‘‘It is my opinion that one-tenth of the peo ple of Georgia do not have ade quate education to interpret the Bible properly,” Dr. Rufus W. Weaver, president of Mercer uni versity, told the Georgia Baptist convention Wednesday night, in speaking on the educational system of Georgia as confronting the Bap t.Sif Fotty-six per cent of the children of elementary school age live in the South, but only a sixth of the proportionate amount for educa tion as spent over the remaining portion of the country 'is spent here, he said. Dr. Weaver gave it as his opinion that probably the deplorable state of affairs was due to the‘fact that almqst the whole amount of the $4,250,000 given in Georgia for public education was directed to ward the thickly populated centers in the state while the open coun try was neglected. Dr. Aquila Chamblee, president of Bessie Tift college, opened the meeting. He stressed the import ance of having educated Baptist wo men. Twenty-five Bessie Tift girls have volunteered for service abroad, he stated, and forty-eight more wish to do active service at home. Dr. Weaver followed Dr. Cham lee, putting before the convention the educational situation and mak ing an appeal for the Baptists of Georgia to use their influence to relieve affairs as they now are. He urged his hearers either to make Mercer a real universjty or to lose their investment in the compe tition with other colleges, as he told of the need for increased endow ment and iunds from some source. t Following Dr. Weaver, Will D. Upshaw spoke, commending the work of the two colleges and ask ing that increased support be given by all loyal Baptists. Mr. and Mrs. L. D.
