leading Washington preacher said last
evening to a Star reporter:
This commission is not regarded as a
step toward organic union Our southern
1rlends are not sufficiently in love with
US yet 10 propose marriage or to entertain
a proposal. But they want peace and the
pest conditions for growth. This is right
half way.
From the view point of some of the
southern Methodist leaders there are GER
tam conditions in Methodism which need
treatment. In Japan, for instance, five
branches of Methodism are at work there,
each maintaining it's own missions and
schools, and all. by their own denomna
1onal zeal, tmpressing the japanese mind
with the idea of discord rather than har-
mony In the Christian world.
AS all Methodlsms teach one set of doc
tr1nc5, they ought to unite, to some extent,
IN mission work. Perhaps the two great
Methodisms might at least protitably unite
to erect joint publishing house and edu-
cat1onal headquarters somewhere in Japan.
perhaps, too, they might unite their
forces in China far enough to establish
common printing house for their tracts and
other educational requisites. Surely good
would come of it,
Home Interests Considered.
AS to the possibilities of some suitable
work for the commission in this country,
leading Southern Methodist preacher said:
"Co-operation in, publishing and educa-
tonal work in the western hemisphere
might save much, not only among the
Spanish-speaking people in Mexico and
Central and South America, but even in
states like Missouri and Illinois. Adopting
in common, the same song books nym-
nails for the Sunday schools, leagues and
church for all English-speaking Methodists
would in time save millions of dollars and
belt the world with strains of symphony
and sympathy unceaSing as the roll of
the British drum.
"A less cumbersome method of transfer
of ministers between northern and southern
conferences might also be adjusted to the
great advantage of both. Representative
MethodistS in the south see no very great
reason why both Methodisms should not

MR. JOSEPH GILE.

It will be with much regret that his wide circle of acquaintances in New Haven will learn that Joseph Gile closes with this week his school work in the city and retires to his country home in Franklin Falls, N. H. For a long term of years he was principal of Eaton school and on retiring from that office he opened a private gram mar school for boys in the Insurance building, which he has very successful ly conducted for twenty-one years. Among his pupils have been boys from many of our best and most prominent families. Not a few of our most suc- cessful and influential young business men received their training in the New Grammar SchooF' as MT. Giles has been called.
 His work as teacher has always been thorough and conscientious Few men have as great versatility as he and are fitted to teach any subject within the range of high school and college preparatory work. MT. Gile is pleas ed that his school is to be kept up after his retirement by Theodore B. Wilson, M. A., a graduate of Michigan university, and experienced as a high school teacher, and it will continue without a break, opening for the spring term next Monday, April 25.
 Hereafter it will be opened to both sexes and in view of this change Miss Harriette P. Marsh, who recently re- tired from the Shelton avenue school to spend Q year in travel and study abroad, will assist. Both MT. Wilson and Miss Marsh have many friends in the city who have every confidence that the 'Gile Grammar School,' as it is hereafter to be called, will enter up- on a new era of success.
