SUNDAY SCHOOL WORK.
Rev. Matt S. Hughes Addresses the Port
land Superintendent.

A meeting of the Portland Sunday
School Superintendents' Union was held
in Chestnut street M. E. church last eve
ming, L. NJ. Webb of Plymouth Free
Baptist church presiding. After prayer
by Rev. j. G. Merrill of the Second
Parish, Rev. Matt S. Hughes delivered
on address, by invitation on the subject,
What can we do in the way of concerted
effort in our schools to promote their
spiritual welfare The speaker began
by emphasizing the truth that all Sunday
school work had for its prime object the
spiritual welfare Of the scholars. While
there were many secondary matters
claiming the time and energy Of the Sun
day school worker, they only constituted
the machinery which was to be used in
attaining the one aim of all Sunday
school effort. No teacher has fitness
for teaching souls until this golden truth
has taken firm hold of mind and heart.
The speaker dwelt upon common faults
IN teaching methods. Especially did he
deprecate what he termed the mechanical,
the intellectual and the impersonal
methods of teaching, and showed clearly
that they. all lacked the essential ele-
ments of success. He also urged that
the interest and oversight of the teacher
should not be confined to one brief hour
on Sunday but should extend over all
the week.
The latter part of the address was
devoted to emphasizing the relation
ship in which the Sunday school stands
to the church. He pronounced
all teaching that failed to bind
the scholars to the church as a
failure. The church is first always, and
the Sunday school is to be its ally and
not its rival. The fact isthat the Sunday
school has become kind of Juvenile
church, to the great ldetriment of the at
tendance OF the young upon the ministry
OF the Word. The result is that when
the scholar goes out of the school he al
so goes from the church, because no re-
lationship has been established between
the pupil and the church.
he speaker urged the establishment
of classes in the various schools to be
made up of candidates for church mem
bership and the holding of evangelistic
services as part of Sunday school exer-
cises. He also deplored the giving of
Sunday school books just before services
in the church, a system which operates
as the distributing Of inducements
against church attendance.
There was a good attendance, and
much interest manifested.

Atchison,s New Financial Plan.


Vice President j. w. Reinhart gives
the following official preliminary an
nouncement:
1.-The Atchison plan of conversion con-
tanned in circular No. IS, which will be
published in full May 25, is the compile
ton of the reorganization plan put in
effect Oct, 1889, and returns the obliga-
lions of the company, including its in
come bonds and capital stock, to fixed
and stable basis.
1.-THE necessity of the reorganization of
the Atchison Company in 1889 arose from
the fact that the net earnings Of the COM
pany for the year ended June 80, 1889.
were but So, 772, 900, owing largely to the
loss of credit brought about by floating
debt of S12, 000, 900 and no cash in hand nor
means of procuring the same, to place
the property in such condition that the
road could be operated to produce the
best results.
The income bond created under the
reorganization was a temporary expedi-
ent, and was such an obligation, which
was made so elastic as to permit the
management of the Company to use all
of the cash above the obligatory fixed
charges of the Company should occasion
so require.

the money SO provided, as well as the

Parochial school for Bows.

Bishop Healy announced to his con-
gregation Sunday that parochial school
for boys would be erected on the north
easterly side of the Cathedral on Cum
berland street. The building will be two
stories, Of brick, four rooms on the first
floor, each room to accommodate about
so scholars, and a large room in the sec
ond story for a kindergarten The Sis
tiers of Mercy will have charge of the
school.
Bishop Healy explained the reason for
withdrawing the small boys from the
public schools to be of a purely religious
nature. By taking the boys into school
at very early age their religious princi-
pies can be well grounded before they
are old enough to enter the city gram
mar schools. He found no fault with
the way the boys are instructed in the
primary schools of the city. The boys
for the new parochial school will be
drawn principally from the North school.
which will be seriously crippled by the
loss. There are at present in the prima-
ry department of the North school lit
tie less than 500 boys. Not quite 800 of
these boys come from Catholic families,
and probably nearly all of them will be
Withdrawn and sent to the Catholic
school. This will make vacant almost
third of the rooms in the North school
building. There are now IS primary
rooms in the North school and one-third
of the teachers are Catholics. The new
parochial school will, besides this, prob
ably draw some pupils from the Smaller,
Monument street, Chestnut street and
Centre street schools.

THE SCHOOL BOARD.
Proposition to Unite a Number of the
Present Schools.

The regular monthly meeting of the
school board was held last evening, Mayor
Ingrahanl in the chair, and all being
present except Mr.. McGowan.
On motion of DR.. Thompson. Miss
Mabel F. Kicker was elected temporary
teacher in the Bracket street school. in
place of Miss Hodsdon, whose resigna-
ton was presented at the last meeting.

cation from Francis Bellamy of Boston,
calling attention to the fact that the
schools of the country generally will make
special observance of Columbus Day,
October 18th, next, and asking if the
Portland schools will join the rest Mr..
Lord was authorized to make inquiries
and report at the next meeting.
Attention was called to the propo-
sition which has often been talked
of among members of the board in
private. of consolidating some of the
schools of Wards 5, and I, and remod-
cling the practice school. The idea is
to abandon the Spring street school house
entirely and distribute the pupils of that
school among the other schools which
would best accommodate the pupils. The
school is at present small and the other
schools furnish plenty of room for them.
The practice school would perhaps be
removed to the Mcclellan school. The
practice school course would be made one
year and the teachers in training would.
receive no pay. A committee, consisting
OF Messrs. Bradley, Brownson and Blake;
was appointed to Investigate the matter
and report at the next meeting.

meeting was adopted by the board:

schools only during the first four weeks of the

were well received. Lena Lovenberg is

Large as has been the increase of popu.

past decade, it shrinSs into insignid-
cance beside the growth of the population
OF India. The present population of In.
dia is 2S9, 900, 900, and the increase dur
ing the past decade has been about 30,
600, 900, nearly half the entire popula.
tion OF the United States. Gratifying as
this increase is to the British Govern
ment, it is also viewed with alarm by
many of her statesmen, for some believe
that India is already so thic<ly populated
that it can sustain no more inhabitants.
