■pPJLARGED PLANS OF THE INSTITUTE. ■*"* The number of students in the Institute is growing" so rapidly that it is necessary to increase the teaching force, and the Dean has plans in view to that end, but not sufficiently definite to announce them yet. Dr. William Evans will retire from the Associate Deanship, October 1, 1918. He will be at the Insti tute continuously, however, to July 1, 1918, with exception of one month —-, probably April—but beginning October 1, he will give his time largely to Bible Conference work throughout the country. He has very unusual gifts for this work. We know of no one in the country better adapted for this work than he. We expect, “however, that he will give two months at the Institute the next school year, probably January and February, 1919. We have not yet definitely,and finally decided who will be added to the teaching force to take Dr. Evans’ work, and other work that needs to be done. As an illustration of the growth of the Institute, a special Pullman car filled with students for the Bible Institute of Los Angeles will leave Chicago (While this February issue of T h e K i n g ’ s B u s i n e s s is on the press) December 28, to arrive here before the beginning of the Winter term January 2, 1918. Another special car (and possibly two) for Bible Institute students - will leave Vancouver about the same date, coming through to Los Angèles. .It is surprising how many students are coming from east of the Mississippi and from the north. When the Bible Institute began it was expected it would min ister for the most part to the nçeds of those west of the Rockies, and also to students coming from Japan, Korea and China, but at the present time the students are coming from all parts of the United States, as well as European countries and from Australia and New Zealand. Doubtless many come, drawn by the attractions of the climate, but far more attracted by the thoroughness of the course of study and the reputation of the teachers. FEBRU A RY MINISTERIAL INSTITUTE AND BIBLE CONFERENCE. It has been decided to put on this year at the Bible Institute a Mid winter Ministerial Institute and Bible Conference.
