STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION. I'll Q
State Board of Education met, on
Wednesday, in the hall of the House OF
Representatives. Mr.. j. II. Taylor. OF
Greenville, was elected secretary, after
| which the Chairman, Mr.. Jillson, ad-
dressed the board. The first question
OF importance discussed was that of the
finances in connection with the school
system. which occupied considerable
portion of the day. Considerable time
was spent in asking and answering i'm.
portant questions in reference to the
duties of School Commissioners, and
the best means of making the school
system most effective and successful
Cne Of the questions discussed was that
OF mixed schools, and although no op-
position to it was made by any of the
members, the drift of sentiment was
plainly in favor of letting that question
settle itself by circumstances aud the
voluntary action Of the people. The
matter Of pellipg the attendance of
children to school at least threo montha
IN the year was brought up in resolu-
ticn and discussed at length It was
the feeling, however, that the system
was not yet in such working order, and
public sentiment not yet sufficiently nd
vanced, to make it wise to recommend
the passage OF such law at this time.
AIR. Gibson, of Georgetown, offered n
resolution that committee be appointed
to wait on the State Treasurer and ask u
statement Of the several amounts of
school money paid by him to each Coun-
ty. This statement WIS promptly fur.
nished.
"A committee of five were, on resolu-
ton, appointed to take into considera-
ton the school law of the State, and,
especially, the matter of tho school
funds, and mcmorializo the Legislature
in regard to Sch changes and improve
ments as they might deem important.
Mr. S. p. Benson offered a resolution,
which was adopted, that it is the sense
of this board that twenty days oonsti-
tutes scholastic month, and six hours
the minimum length Of school day,
exclusive Of intermission.
A resolution was introduced by Mr..
Presley that the school law should be
amended 80 as to give tho County Board
OF Examiners power to remove as we'll
as appoint district trustees.
Near the close of the session, on mo.
ton of Mr.. Gardner, Mr.. Cartlozo,
State Treasurer, was invited to appear
before the board and mako 4 statement
of the expenditure Of the school funds,
whioh he did at length. The bourd then
adjourned sine die.

lie does not think the panic will be dis
astrous. as the recuperative power of

to retain its advantage over foreign

and has issued the requisite orders tu
all the mints, for largely inc, easing the
coinage, aud that more bullion will be
coined during the next three months
than at any previous time in the same
period. No exports OF crude bullion
will be made for several mouths, owing
principally to the unfavorable rates OF
exchange. Large orders have been
telographed to London from New York
for importation of sovereigns, which, q,
the present condition of sterling ex-
change, will give large profit. AR.
rangements, it is understood, will be-
made for paying depositors OF sove-
reigns their value in United States gold

is a Protestant Ecumenical Council, and
Representatives from all Protestant
countries and sections are expected.
The Alliance ~ss organized IL 1915, IL

in Europe. Large numbers Of delegates
are in attendance, embracing ministers
OF the Presby terian, Baptist, Congrega.

nominations. Ita general object is de-:
fined to be Christian unity in action and
feeling. without doing away with any Of
the non.esaential distinctions in churoh
discipline organization now existing.
It is expected that much good vii! be
effsctsd at this meeting in promoting
the work Of eyangelization and cffeotiDg
a more cordial cooperation of the vari-
Gus PROTESTANT denominations.
As general enunciation of the princi-
pies of the Alliance, the following sum.
mary Of belief was adopted at the for.
nation OF the Organization in London
in 1916. and has been accepted by the
various branches which have since been
established. It affirms:
/. The divine inspiration, authority
and snfRciency OF the Holy Scriptures.
2.IThe right and duty of private
Judgment in the Interpretation of the
Holy Scriptures.
3. The unity of the God. head and
The trinity of the persons therein.
4. The utter depravity of human
nature in consequence of the fall.
b. The incarnation of the Son of God,
His work of atonement for the sins Of
mankind and His mediatorial interces-
sion and reign.
6. The justification Of the sinner by
faith alone.
z. The work of the Holy Spirit in the
conversion and sanctifcation of the sin.
ner. ;y
g. The Immortality of the soul, the
resurrection Of the body. the Judgment
of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ,
with the eternal pnnishment of the
wicked. ~. 1920
8. To divide the institution of tho
Christian ministry and the obligation
and perpetnity of the ordinance of
baptism and the Lords Supper.
It being, however, distinctly declared
that this brief summary is not to be re-
garded in any formal or ecclesiastical
sense as creed or confession, nor the
adoption OF it as involving an assump-
ton of the right authoritatively to de.
fine the limits Of ChristiRn brotherhood,
bqt simply as an indication Of the class
of persons whom it is desirable to EN-.
brace within the. alliance.
