TO REVISE EDUCATIONAL CODE.
A Number of Amendments to the
School Laws to Be Presented.

A Number of Amendments to the
School Laws to Be Presented.
The denartment of education expects
to present number of matters to the
legislature for its consideration. inc
thing most needed is commission 10
revise the educational code.
Regarding the location of the third
normal school in this commonwealth.
It may be stated that aspirants are
springing up fast, but there is hardly
much doubt but that Minot will be the
place decided upon-it is the logical
point for such an institution, but the
good people of the town to which the
plum fall must not prick up their ears
and think that 1t will come at once.
The members of this legislature are
boasting that everything done will be
strictly along the line that the law has
laid down. That being the case. 1t WILL
probably be four years before the new
normal school has a material existence
in brick, stone and mortar. For the
information of aspiring towns and
cities. attention is called to the closing
sentence of the fifth paragraph OF Sec
ton PIG OF article 10 Of the constitu-
ton, page 121 Of the blue book, which
reads: provided, that no other insti-
tuition of a character similar to any OF
these located by this article shall be
established or maintained without
revision of this constitution" In 9th
or words, there apparently must be q
constitutional amendment adopted so
that it will he the year 1910 before
there can be decisive action. The SEN
tehce quoted seems to be absolutely
prohibitive.
Stunt. Stockwell announces that there

Mr.. Stockwell has rented house In

can readily be seen that the Capital

most convenient place for his perma-

foot among the young men of Edinburgh
for the purpose of bringing about a union
of the whole of the Protestant churches of
Scotland. 1t pertains emphatically to the
laity and places reliance for its driving
force upon the energy and Zest of the
young men Uho sympathiZe with the OBJ
Ject. The leaders in the movement believe
that the great mass of the people of Scot
land are with them in desiring to belong to
one church. 1t is believed that 1t will take
time to consummate such union, but 1t is
felt that beginning should be made at
once. .s.,..-.-l
The proposal is that an association shall
be formed to be called the Church Union
Association. which shall persist in
phasizing all matters on which the various
denominations are agreed. Its aims are to
be of practical kind, and at the outset at
least it is declared it will confine itself
to active spade work, in the way of en-
deavoring to unite the overlapping agen-
ces of the denominations which have now
increased in number to a great extent.
Even were a union of the denominations to
be conSummated tomorrow, Ii is declared
the united church would at once have to
set itself to amalgamate its organizations
and agencies. Accordingly, 1t is real and
practical preparation for the union to work
toward such malgamation now. This step
the great mass of those who are engaged
in active church and mission work have for
long been willing and are now eager to
take.
