The Christian Workers Institute Was a Success Il
 Every Way
Large Delegation from all the Towns Was Present and Those Who Had the Meeting in Charge Well Pleased With the Good
 Resulting

Memorial Day was flttingly observed by the people of the Imperial valley The Ministerial Union had previously made arrangements to hold Chris. tlan Workers Institute, to which the people of all the towns were invited By choice of the majority of the towns it was held at Fl Centro and that great interest was taken in this unique Me- morlal Day observance and Christian Institute was amply evidenced by the large number of people in attendance.
 Fl Centro was prepared for her guests of the day and everything was done to make everyone feel at home and comfortable.
 By eight o'clock thirty teams began to arrive from the country. from lmper- ial, Calexico and Silsbee.
 Three sessions were held during the day and evening in the opera house which had been put in shape and hand somely decorated. The wisdom of holding this Institute att th:s place. thereby securing the use of the opera house, was shown when the large crowd gathered fot the morning session, for any other hall would have been made quate, but as 1t was everyone had a good seat, was comfortable and could both see and hear the speakers.
 The program that had been prepared was carried through with only few changes, necessitated by the absence of two or three.
 The morning session was opened by a song service, led by Rev. R. L. Glasby, of Calexico, followed by devU- tlons by Rev. A. E. Wright, of Holtville.
 "Why study the Bible" was an swered by Mrs. R. L. Glasby in most admirable manner. Mrs. Glasby told many interesting things about the Bible which even the closer students of that great book jotted down for ref erence. Echoes were heard from William Fell, of Imperial; R. E. Has lett, of Long Beach, and Huntington McKuslck. of {. Centro.
 In the afternoon the visitors had in. creased in number several coming from Holtvlle and Calexco on the noon trains. This session proved very interesting, indeed. Everybody was getting warmed up to what was in store. It was opened by singing, a recitation by Mrs. Campbell, of Silsbee. The question box was opened by Rev. J. F. Tout of Imperial, who answered all the questions propounded in a credltable manner.
 The expectations of those who were anxious to hear Rev. Charles Went worth, pastor of the Methodist church of Imperial. were fully realized when he spoke for twenty minutes on "Per- sonal Evangelism, Echoes rebound ed from Clarence Morrison. of Fl Gen. fro, and Raymond Henderson, of Sils- bee. After the close of the afternoon session a business meeting was held and at four o'clock the young people had a rally.
 In the evening the opera house was

beautifully lighted and those from Im- perial, Fl Centro and he country around who were unable to attend the day sessions, Hooked in to hear the Rev David Beaton, M. A., D. D., of the University of Chicago. The sub ject of pr. Beaton's lecture was "Fath- erhood and Citizenship" and for more than an hour he held his audience to the very closest attention. He Is a pleasant, easy speaker, witty and has that especially happy faculty of talking to you possessed by so few pubic spe akers.
 He prefaced his lecture by few we'll chosen remarks about our people, our valley and expressed his delight at being present on so happy an occasion and being able to assist in the dedlca- ton of the opera house under such promising auspices. He said 1t augers well for community to open such a splendid edifice as this with a gather ing so representative of the very best. He told the audience how closely allied was the Colorado delta to the delta of the Nile and how the people of this great valley were repeating history.
 Al the close of the lecture the fol- lowing resolutions were read. and ad- opted:
 Your committee on resolutions beg leave to report as follows:
 Whereas. God has greatly blessed his people in this valley in material prosperity and in spiritual and social possibilities, and,

OYSTER BAY TEACHER
CANDIDATE FOR PLACE.
Another Effort Will Be Made Tonight tt
Select Principal for Orange Day
Street School.

A special meeting of the Orange Board
of Education has been called for tonight,
when an effort will be made to appoint a
principal for the Day Street School. Super
%intendent of Schools Riggs has a new can
didate In the field, in the person of Fred
ericl5 c.. Lester, who is principal OF the
lis School at Oyster Bay, the home OF
President Roosevelt. Mr.. Lester Is said
to be highly recommended, and If a
quorum can be obtained, although 1t IS be-
lieved there will be none. o strenuous
effort will be made to obtain the appoint
ment of Mr.. Lester.
1t is known. however, thai about five
members of the board have decided 10 re-
main away from all meetings. and Chair
man Riley of the rev building committee
will be away. Mr.. Riley's family is Mt
Ocean Grove, and he said today that menu
bers of the board knew he could not get
to the meeting tonight. He will n an
early afternoon train for the shore. Other
members are still in favor of Mr.. Agnew
as principal of the school,, and If by chance
a quorum should appear there Will be an
other deadlock
There is still doubt among several mem
bers of the board that the school will be
ready for the reception of all the intended
pupils when 1t opens, Tuesday e These
members say that about five hundred
pupils will be deprived of one months at
tendance, because Commissioner Charles
| Taylor, chairman of the building commit
tee, has failed to get specifications out In
time for the repairs to the building.
There has been much dissatisfaction
among the members who favored making
the school a grammar school,, Instead of a
ward school,, and these commissioners
it is said. are responsible for the holding
back of repairs. Some members of the
board say, however, that the school will be
ready for occupancy by Tuesday.
