eERMANY's CHURCH CRISIS.

lev I'm Christ's Divinity.
Emperor William of Germany and his
official advisers are deeply concerned over
the imminent church crisis in Prussia, the
yravest since the reformation. The ques-
ton of the divinity of Christ now threat
ems to rend German Professionalism into
two great parties. the one liberal, the
othe1 orthodox. The revolt in liberal
church circles against orthodoxy has been
tanned into a flame by the refusal OF
the consistory and the Supreme Court
to sanction the selection of Rev. Mr..
Rowen as pastor of the church at Rem
scheid, in Westphalia.
His offense was that he preached SER
mons in which he repudiated the divine
parentage of Christ, characterizing it as
a myth inspired by Greco-Pagan inhu'
snces.
More than 1900 mass meetings have
been held to discuss the religious situa-
ton. Taken together, they form an as
tonishing revelation of the enormous ex-
tent of the growth of the so-called liberal
church doctrines.
The ferment is increasing daily, hourly

The school teachers of Pittston, Pa, re-
Gently dismissed their pupils and told
them not to return until the school board
should pay back salaries due the teachers.
Prof. C. w. Pritchett, after thirty years
of service as director of the Morrison OBJ
servatory at Glasgow, No., has retired. He
is succeeded by III. r. Morgan, formerly Of
the United States naval observatory.
Judge Mack of Chicago has invited a
conference with the school board with a
view to stopping the practice of suspend
ing disorderly or unruly pupils, on the
ground that it contributes to the juvenile
delinquency cases in court.
Following are some Ohio statistics /:
Children Of school age, 1,250,O00; children
in school attendance, 100000; children
out of school, 10000; children within
scope of labor law, 100000; children IL
legally employed, 100000.
The most notable feature Of the latest
census bulletin relating to illiteracy
among our population is the statement
that there are fewer il~literates among the
children of foreign-born parents than
among those of the natives. This is
~variously accounted for, but the chief rea-
son for it appears to be based on the fact
that the greatest portion of the foreign
born children live in cities, where the
educational opportunities are better than
in the country. In the country the illit-
eracy among children is 80 per 1000; in
cities of over $4,000 inhabitants it is only
10 per 1000.
For the last two years a committee ap
pointed by the National Educational As
ISOLATION has been hard at work seeking to
establish a system of reciprocity in re-
gard to the recognition of teachers certif-
Gates and diplomas from normal schools
and colleges. When the C mmittee first
undertook its task, it was found that
twenty-five States and territories made
absolutely no concession, that all teachers
from outside their boundaries were oblig-
ed by their laws to take an examination,
no matter what their credentials and ex-
perience. Now, after two years work,
only nine of the States still hold out.
These are Alabama, Conncesicst, Georgia,
Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, North Caro-
lima, New Hampshire and Texas. In all
the rest a distinct ad-ance toward reci-
procity has been made.
I The school authorities of Waynesboro,
Pa, having declined to enforce the State
vaccination law, the matter is to go into
the courts. The Attorney General has
given the opinion that parents whose chill

One of the most interesting figures in
Harvard university is Edward Ray, a

country town in North Carolina. He has

ployes where to report for work-for
there is work to do, and work for pay,

After a thorough investigation in
San Francisco n conservative newspa-
per estimate of the number of dead is
$500. 1t is singular that information
concerning the most vital feature of
this calamity has been all but lacking.
The facts for which the outside world,
and especially h people of the United
States. have been looking up to this
time have been unavailable. This is a
condition due to two causes. First,
the suddenness of the calamity, and,
second, its widespread effect.
A correspondent asserts that beyond
question 2O6 men. women and children
were killed in the Potrero district. In
the Brunswick House 800 perished. The
Valencia Hotel, which dropped into a
gap opened by the earthquake, is sup
posed TO have carried with it log
souls. At 9TH street and Natoma,
where large new buildings utterly col
lapsed. 200 people-this is merely the
estimate of first-class authorities-un-
doubtedly were incinerated. 1t is not
a wild guess to say that the scattered
dead. including the unknown, the re-
mains of scores and hundreds who
have been completely blotted out, will
be 1,500.
A tragically picturesque and peculiar
item in connection with this Is the fact
that many persons have become lost
they are dead beyond possible trace.
These statements are made by a cor
respondent in the face of the testi-
mony of the coroner. William Malsh,
who declared that the total number
of dead resulting from the earthquake
shock will be less than 1000. 1t is
feared that the coroner's Office and
all the city officials who are cogs in the
municipal machine have been stunned
by the enormity of the disaster.

Winter has lifted its embargo from the

Endorsement of this prediction comes in

LIFE RECORDS BURN.
S5O,OOO,O 900 I'm Risks Face Serious
Complications.

The destruction of the San Francisco
building of the Mutual Life Insurance
Company, which was located at Sansome
and California streets, may involve 1900
policy holders carrying an aggregate of
$50,00o,0O0 Of insurance in serious COM
plications. All of the records concern
ing these 1900 policy holders were de-
stroyed with the building. Complete du-
plicate records containing all of the late
information concerning the Pacific coast
policy holders were not kept at the home
Office in New York.
Officers of the large fire insurance COM
panies having their headquarters in New
York City announce that losses by earth
quake were not included in the fire in
surance policies written for California.
and that such losses could not be allowed,
even If the companies were so inclined,
for the reason that the laws of New York
State prohibited it. The rulings on the
losses by fire, however, will, it is said,
be broad, the insurance companies agree
ing that to draw the lines with any Sc
verify whatsoever would be extremely un-
wise, in the face of such an appalling dis
aster, where the suffering will no doubt
be widespread.
