1ST CONFERENCE.
The North Texas Conference of th*
Methodist Church, meeting in Mc-
Kinney last week, ratified the pur-
chase of the remaining interests of
the heirs of the late Mrs. Lucy KldU-
Key in Kidd-Key College of this city.
The announcement that the college
will participate to a large extent In
th educational fund to he raised by the
church, and that this participation as-
sures the continued expansion of the
college to meet the demands made
Upon it from year to vear. will b?
learned with gratification by Sher-
man citizens. Those interested in the
welfare of the achOol, which has
helped In no imall measure to enhance
I the enviable reputation Sherman
(bears as an educational and cultural
[center, will welcome the opportunity
|of redeeming the pledge made by the
Sherman Chamber of Commerce to the
tffect that $1 will be raised by Slier-
nan cltlzeus for every $0 raised by
[•*h<> church, to be spent on the perma-
nent improvement of the college prop-
erty.
This ' arrangement and disposal of
the property is doubtless as the late
Irs. Kidd-Key would have' had it. A
hlevout Christian woman and one with
confidence as well as faith In her
church, nothing would be •nearer her
heart than that the school which she
founded and guided through the
Htruggliug years of its beginning with
an unerring wisdom and religion*
faith, should come under the guardt-
nnship and management of this eliurch
with the assurance that such control
by the church gives that the finnnclai
needs of the Institution will he cared
for In such a way Hint its continued
development will he made possible.
Alumni and former -students oi
Kidd-Key College can not be otherwise
than gratified to know that the eon-
tinned welfare of the school is as-
sured, and Its future development cer-
tain. And nil of those who have ev-
er at any time had any connection
with Kidd-Key College must feel a
