from pneumonia, but she begged for

TALKS on SCHOOL AFFAIRS.
The Annual School Meeting.


ALE. kCNkENpAIL, SENIOR GLASS.
rattcvllle Normal School
The simplicity of democracy is ex-
emplitied in the annual school meet
ing, and duty to the school demands
the presence Of every eleetor at that
meeting. y great responsibility rests
upon the meeting, 4 responsibility aft
fecting not only the school, but also
through it, the future Of the commun-
ity. Many of the most important
things connected with the school are
the subjects of consideration AT that
meeting, and should receive careful
aud earnest attention. These are Ia J
choosing officers, CO. hiring n teacher
Though generally left to the school
board, (c) changing the textbooks,
ID purchasing apparatus, (c) looking
after the condition of the school
house and grounds, and ~ voting
taxes.
\ few words concerning each of
these topics may not be miss, Per-
haps one great factor, retard!ug the
progress OF our schools is, and has
been, the election to Office of men who
are either Jealous of the advantages
accorded the youth OF today, or indif-
fcrent to the welfare of postcrity,
Neither attitude is proper, and what
ever may have been the past lot of
any one, it behoovcS all To show II
deep interest and patriotism 10y elect
ing to school offices the most highly
cultured men or women of the district
those who will raise the school To
the highest plane Of intellectual use
fulness. Not only is this privilege
and duty, but also noble service
to your school and country.
Though hiring teacher Is gener-
ally left with the school board, 1t is
the custom in a few districts to vote
for II male or female teacher for the
year. In many cases the teacher
hired is Il young girl, immature, halt
trained, inefficient, and lacking in
professional ideas and ambition. She
has undertaken one of the most deli
cate, cXactiug, and responsible of all
callings, but has little experience in
life. and little knowledge of the world
or of human nature and its vital
needs. Would you cntrust the pre-
paration of II valuable diamond to an
incompetent workman? With one ac
cord you answer " Mo-" For equally
good, or better reasons. parents, YOU
ought to demand the best teachers OBJ
tainahlc. Such teachers will not only
do the routine duties we'll. but they
will also raise the school to II high
standard in government and disei-
pline, and inspire the pupils with lof-
ty and noble ideas.
Another matter that often comes be
fore the meeting is the question of
furnishing free text books or of
changing those in use. This is a mat
ter requiring the best Judgment and
care, for the best books are frequent
ly none too good, 1t would be we'll To
consult your county superintendent
regarding the best books, and adopt
his Judgment rather than your own,
He should know the character of
books in question, and their value
and fitness for school purposes.

no doubt is a capital hand at paint

how to dispose of his paint mixtures,
After he had painted his buggy he left

MINISTERIAL TRAINING.

A discussion has been going on for some
weeks In THE Churchman" about the kind of
men needed for the ministry, and one of its
correspondents, the Rev ]. o. S. Huntington,
described in some detail the sort of men needed
by the Church to-day. In reply to this another
clergyman, the Rev. f. S. Harding of Erie
Penn asks to what seminary the right kind of
young man could be sent, Supposlng him to be
found In thus raising the question as to the
character of the average theological seminary
Mr.. Harding gives voice TO n feeling widely
entertained among intelligent Christians. They
more than suspect that the training of the
Summaries, excellent though it may be In the
abstract, does not fit young men for the work
of the modern ministry. How they fail 10 do
this is forcibly stated by the Rev DIR. 8. D.
Mcconnell Of Brooklyn in a volume of essays
just published. Recognizing that the seminaries
are really only part of the general problem
DIR. Mcconnell charges that the present system
of ministerial training does not tend to secure
the right kind of men, does not train them
efficiently when secured and is far too costly
In the apostolic ages of the Church there was
no theological training, and In fact no theology
in the modern sense of the word. Plain men
preached the Gospel, and of the "multtudes Of
priests who were added to the Church" there
is no record that any became ministers of the
new religion. The same state OF affairs existed
In the primitive Church. Justin MARTYR and
Cyprian passed at once into the ministry with
out any theological training; Origen did not
study theology until middle life. and then he
became a hereto Athanasius had only n com
mon school education and Ambrose was n
lawyer. becoming n bishop eight days after he
was baptized. So in the Middle Ages and in
the English Church after the Reformation Yet
in nearly every case the men who thus entered
the ministry without any special training were
singularly successful. 1t is the opinion of DIR.
Mcconnell that they were thus successful first.
because they entered the ministry when they

were full grown men, whereas the ihouoi"
minister must discover his vocation when ne 10 d

the present system does not even give young
men the best training. Many of them cannot
afford to go TO first rate or second rate col
lege and 10 meet their case cheap and III
equipped training colleges for the ministry have
arisen which do little or nothing to fit young
men for the real problems Of the modern
ministry.
And then there are the semnaries. DE-
Mcconnell took the roster for the middle year
in the best Episcopal divinity school and COM
pared 1t with those of an average medical
school and an average law school He found
that the students Of the medical school were
required to take twenty hours week and
six more hours in dissection and at clinics
The roster of the law school showed a require
ment of twenty-nine hours a week at lectures
besides ten hours otherwise employed And
there was no possibility of Sinking any of this
work But in the divinity school the second
year men are required to attend only seventeen
hours a week. and the studies not being studies
OF precision il largely depends upon the student
how much work he does Il am constrained 10
believe says the writer, that he works not
'much more than half many hours during
his year as the student in either Of these other
schools and that his work is done with less
than half the accuracy and thOrOughness. The
only consollng reflection at this stage is that
when one looks over the course of study set
before the student in some Of our seminaries
1T is just as well that he does not spend too
much time upon it, . 1t is as though
the students at West Point should be loosely
trained in the use of crossbowS and jngalls
and then commissioned as officers in the
! United States Army"
In the opinion of DR. Mcconnell, the method
| of training men for the ministry siSnally fails
TO meet the needs of the times. ana if the
| churches are to keep step with the age they
must speedily revise their system of ministerial
education. which was devised to meet con-
| ditiOns that no longer exist
