Theology Taught by Mail.
The number OF correspondence schools
has greatly increased during the past
two or THREE years, and their curriculum
has broadened until now nearly every
trade, art, science and profession can be
studied through this method. In the
current numb of a popular magaz ne
there are advertised Sc such insli utions
covering wide range OF subjects, and
every month something new appears.
The latest invader in this field, and one
that has promise OF great usefunt SIS, is a
correspondence school of theology which
has been launched at Nashville, Tenn,
by the M-thodist Episco al church south.
This movement was inaugurated in re-

better equipped ministry and at the last
general conference of the church held at
Dallas, Texas, $1,000 was set aside for
the purpose OF establishing correspond,
ence courses in connection with the bibli-
cal department Of Vanderbilt University.
Preachers Institutes will also be estab
lished in various places. and the whole
system will BE- under the direction of the
university faculty. The work OF the
school will b. adapted to the various
needs OF all the mil listers of the church.

irg to form a combin alton of trade in

1t is likely that there will be no further
steps tax to collect fl ON the Turkish
Government indemnity for the capture
and imprisonm mt NJ SIS Ellen NJ. Stone.
She came to Washington shortly alter
reaching this country and had long
lutel VIC" Will OScIetdTy nay. Wh1e
she places al the blame on the Turkish
Government for tie TAI ure to eff ct her
release sooner as we'll as for her capture
by robbers. she is evidently not anxious
that pressure be brought to bear upon
Turkey for rep ration. Her reasons are
due to purpose of returning and resum-
ing missionary work and lear that she
might meet with OBSTACLES if her case
wee passed.
