1920 THE KPQIL 1' OICOPE tozo tion t-dneation nas presented by at representative ot' IIatnpden-Sidney. and that at prot'es:'or ot' tlte t'oIlege sat as a lll0llllN'l' of the body, lint il is possible In be even more pointed in a statement of the serviee IIantpden-Sidney is now rettdering in the field of l'ltristian work. In re- sponse to an urgent appeal, presented before tlte students of tlte College a t'ew years ago. six eonseerated young men went forth gladly to do the Mas- ter's servit-e in the ntoutttain regions ot' one of our States. They spent the tnost ot' tlte summer in hard work, walking great distant-es over tlte ntoun- tains and sntTet-ing many int-onvenienees, perhaps enduring some hardships as good soldiers of tlte l'l-oss, tltat they might teaeh these people tlte truth and help to lead thent in the right way. And they reeeived tto tnentionable eovnpensation for their faitltful toil and their labors, for they had regard to llle reeonipense ot' tlte reward. They wettt about by day attd by night. teaeh' ing and helping. in the spirit of glad and willing serviee. And this. too. they eall the llatnpdenASidney spirit! lt' it is asked what llainpden-Sidney is doing today in the edueational world. the easy and signitieant answer is, that it is sending out annually, not olte or two, but ntany young ntelt as teat-hers: and the report eontes baek that these nten tnake good teaehers. There ntust be soniething serious a.nd impressive attd gripping about tlte eharaeter ot' tlte work done at this Col- lege. for tlte statement has often been niade that the training a student re- eeives at llantpden-Sidney tits ltitn to beeonte a leader and teaeher of others. t'ertainly it' the ealls for Ilatnpden-Sidney men as teaehers is to be taken as a sign, they tnnst be in demand--ntttst be eonsidered worth while-for in the past few years speeitie requests t'or graduates of tlte College as teaehers both in sehools and in higher institutions ot' learning have been tnore than enuld be mei, lint Ilainpden-Sidney is also devotittg its best energies and efforts to giving a good edneation to young men who do not beeotne teaehers or minis- ters, bttt who go baek to tlte farm and to the business at home and make useful eitizens. These young nten, with others like thent, are to heeonte the guartlians and eonservators of things fundantental in ntatters religious and eivil, and tlte strength of our free institutions, of our edneational system. ot' the t'hureh itself, humanly speaking, will be in proportiott to tlte number of mm, of this type who are put bat-lc on tlte farm. and at tlte desk, as well as in tlte pttlpit and in tlte sehool room. These, then. are the things for whieh llantpden-Sidney still stands attd l'm1r Tturnly-four
