THE PANGS OF CHANGE.

When he advised the abolition of Princeton
clubs and the introduction of the quadrangle
system last June, President Wilson evidently
trusted the poets assurance that ancient ana
holy things fade like a dream. Maybe some
ancient and holy things do flee at this appall-
ing rate nto oblivion. but the customs and sen
timents of an old college are not among them
The voluminous outpouring of wrath from the
long sealed vials of the ''old grads of Nassau
now arguing in the college papers against the
proposed upheaval in Princetonian ways of
life must have convinced President Wilson
ere this that the supposed nationality OF the
quadrangle system will not suffice as an argu-
ment for his revolution. The pangs of change
must be recognized and treated with respect
and anRsthetcs.
The champions of the quadrangle should not
eXult too greatly over the fact that nearly all
the red hot letters 10 the editor in the college
alumni journals fail to advance any cHnching
argument against President Wilson's project
It is true that quaGranglcs are not proved bad
because they will make college a grind.
because they fail TO abolish college cliques.
or because they will ruin Princeton athletics.
Colleges might we'll he more OF grind for
the average student than they now are; fail

LABORERS' HIRE IN CHURCHES.

The question of preachers salaries which is
being much agitated in the Central West must
be regarded as bearing close and vital rela-
tion to that Of declining and dying churches
which we have recently discussed in these col
umns and which, following our discussion Of
it, has been widely taken up by both the secular
and the religious press. There is no doubt that
many rural churches declining and even
dying because of the poor quality of ministerial
service which is given to them Nor is that at all
strange. 1t must be remembered that the Pen
tecostal gift to the original Apostles was intel
lectual as well spiritual The successor of
the Apostles to-day must also have intellectual
power as well as spiritual conservation. One
of the rural churches TO which we recently re-
ferred as having died had before its demise
been served chiefly by supplies from neigh
boring theological semnary-callow youths
reading TO the congregation their schoolboy es-
says in place of sermons.
There can be no doubt, either, that the poor
quality of ministerial service Is pretty directly
and generally due 10 the wretched pittances
which are paid to large proportion of rural
clergymen. There are to-day within the sub
urbs of New York, not TO mention more remote
parts of the country, men devoting their whole
lives to pastoral work for stipends contrasted
