CONFERENCE APPOINTMENTS,
Changes Made in the washingt0n District
Methodist Church, South.

Methodist Church, South.
As intimated in . special dispatch from Front
Royal, Va, to The STAB yesterday lively dis
cussion occurred over . series of resolution
presented to the Methodist Conference South
by Rev. DR.. John 7. Wightman Of Washington
protesting against the Faribault school plan OF
incorporating the parochial schools Of the
Catholic Church with the public school system
1T is well known" said the resolution, "tha,
an effort is being made by the Roman Catholic
Church to incorporate into the public school
system of Maryland their parocnial schools
the plan being that advocated by Archbishop
Ireland Of St. Paul and popularity known AZ
the Faribault plan. This. in brief, is that the
parochial school buildings now under con.
troll Of the Roman Catholic Church
shall be leased to the state and that the
teachers now employed in the parochal
schools shall be retained in their positions
provided they pass the examinations required
OF public school teachers. This effort to form
a union OF church and state is contrary to the
Constitution of the United States, is fraught
with danger to the public school system of the
state and nation, and if accomplished will e.
tablish precedent In favor of union Of church
ard state dangerous to the liberties of the
people. This plan was vigorously opposed by
the Protestant Episcopal Church in the diocese
OF Maryland through its bishop. Rev. William
Pare;. and bya representative clergyman of
the Lutheran Church, both Of which denomi-
nations maintain rarOchial schools.
The Baltimore conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church at its recent session in
Hagerstown put itself on record in opposition
to the plan by the adoption OF strong resolu-
TONS It behooves this conference also, as the
friend of public schools. to place itself in oppo-
sitlon to the plan mentioned. We have no
quarrel with the Roman Catholic Church and
6n mot da11v ia iyh IN ,fctv,
but we protest against any plan which will
place the burden of the support of denomina-
tional schools upon the state
The resolution was committed.
Bishop Key finally appointed Rev. J. H. Boyd,
Rev. ". II. ID. Harper. Rev. Collins Denny. O.
L. Rhodes ard I. T. Fisburne the committee.
These submitted a paper more general in its
Tone which, after some debate, was adopted.
