SCHOOL BOARD.
Important Meeting to Regu< late Salaries Scheduled
 For This Evenins.

The board of education will hold its regular mid-monthly meeting this even. ing, and there is 9 good deal of impors tant business to be disposed of. The insurance system of the schools may be readjusted There is plan ar ranged by which no company with surplus less than $25OO0O shall be given any of the insurance At pres ent the insurance is distributed he tween seyenty-nine companies and the proposed plan will cut off most or these Another matter to be adjusted is the salary of some teachers ill the ninth grade. A new rule provides that the salaries of teachers in the first aud ninth grades shall be $650. Tn many of the schools there is not ninth gradc but according to an old rule many teachers who are engaged on eighfh grade work will be entitled to salary of that amount next year. It would be very inconsistent to pay teachers in different grades the same salary but that is what will have to be done. ac-, cording to the interpretation soms members of the board have put on new rules.

STAY-AT-HO
New York Ministers Discuss Non-Attendance at
 Church.

New York, May 16-Man's non-at- tendance. at church services and the supposed reasons therefor, has been discussed by the clergymen in many New York pulpits. They ascribed the absence of men from church to lack of religious sentiment and disbelief in the orthodox plan of salvation.
 Rev Dr Minot J. Savage at the Church of the Messiah said:
 ''There are probably some people in the world who do not go to church because they are bad, but there are more persons in whom there is no de veloped religious sentiment, nothing to which a religious service appeals, just as there are persons with little artistic or musical appreciation.
 "A change has come over the peo- pie, and it seems that the whole or thodox plan of salvation is now dis credited.
 "When making excuses about going to church people always have one point in view-sWhat shall I get? What shall I enjoy. Shall De pleas ed with the music? Shall be thrilled with the eloquence" Remember that IL u1OE0 DIGSSOu5 u SIHS lAdn LO 1S- ceive and that the attitude of beg gar all through life is not the noblest that a man can take.
 Rev Dr I. M. Haldeman, in the First Baptist church said:
 "The rising generation is not a church going one. This may be ac- counted for by the fact that this gen. eration is more intellectual than the previous one, but intellectually is not and ought not to be bar against the church.
 Men do ont believe in the bible. They say the book contains uncertain ties. As long as they will have these unalterable sentiments the church at tendance by the male sex will always continue to lag.''
 Dr N. D. Hills, at Plymouth church, Brooklyn, scathingly rebuked the ten dency of the times to place material development and the possession of knowledge above morals and the obedience of laws.
 "It is always a sign of the decay of the power of a nation he said, when we Jose all interest in our sages, seers and poets who stand forth with swords of warning.
 Tn '1S49 Carlyle hurled thunderboits at England'S economic system. Eng land scoffed at him. He said England was making industrial sons of her men. In the very countries where Carlyle delivered his warning the men deteriorated to the point where the war department finds them unfit for military service.
 Dr Hills then alluded to conditions in America and pointed out what he called the purely material character of the exposition at St Louis. No pro vision had been made there, he declar- ed, for the encouragement of genius or anything more than the mere straw of national life.
 Rev Dr George c. Lorimer's sermon at the Madison Square Baptist church disputed the idea that the number of men attending church at the present time is smaller than in the past. II assert'' he said, s'that the number of men attending church to-day is pro- portionately larger than that at, any other time in the history of Christian ity The intelligence of the men at tending church also will compare most favorably with that of the men who do not
