Presiding Elders Title Changed.
No Change In The Discipline.

The tWenty.ffth Q%uadrennial session
of the General Conference of the Meth
odist Episcopal church, which las been
in progress i'll Baltimore since last May
9th, adjourned last Monday night.
The time-honored title presiding
elder" was abolised 10y the adoption of
a minority report from the revision COM
mittee recommending that the name he
changed to "district superintendent" by
a vote OF 800 ayes to 210 noes. This
radical change of terms comes from a
desire todenote the Office more correctly.
1t has been felt for a long time that
since the presiding elder is to-day in
reality superintendent, this term should
be given him, since his Office is no long
Ell merely sacramento butad ministra-
tive.
After a prolonged debate the confer
ence decided to take the time limit off
probationary membership in the
churches and to make it possible for
stewards and class leaders to order the
admission of an application for full
membership on approval of the pastor.
A strong fight was made to have pro.
stationary membership abolished Alto
gether, but this latter proposition was
defetead.
No change was made in the time
limit OF pastors who may be sent to a
charge any number of years.
An important matter not disposed of
was paragraph 24S of the discipline con-
corning amusements. The board of
bishops recommended its modification,
but the committee OF state of the church
opposed the change. 1t was presented
by the committee, but was s~idetracked:
The trend toward the union of all
branches of Methodism was N of the
great facts of the General Conference
Treasurer.
w. ii. Berry said that he was i'm
pressed by the large number of men of
splendid mental calibre found in the Cen
eralC Conference. The work that gave him
the greater satisfaction was the deci-
sion OF the Methodist Episcopal Church
to more seriously engage in the solution
of the great economic questions, espe-
cialy that of the liquor evil.

Convention Managers.

Secretary Taft, like many another
absentee, will learn that his business
if the presidential campaign is his bust
ness-has gone on as well OF better fur
ing his abscense than during his pres
cense. His nomination is assured,
though the President, who may be con-
sidered his principal hacker, is not at
all pleased juStnow with the instrument
that the political managers have select
ed to carry out the will of the delegates
to the Chicago Convention. Julius
Caesar Burrows, the senior senator
from Michigan, has been elected tenn
porary chairman. He is a man of re-
sounding voice ct praeterea, etc.
1t is said the President wanted Bev-
eridge for this place. Senator Burrows
said that he would go to the country
house Of his s0n-in-law to write his
speech. 1t will not be the kind of
a speech that MI. Beveridge would
write OF improYise for that matter.
Senator Scott, of West Virginia, who
managed the selection of Burrows who
is not more enamOred than Burrows of
the President IS policy, has perhaps ex-
pressed the situation in a nutshell,
when he said it was only necessary to
nominate a candidate but also to elect
him, meaning thereby that the reaction
aries like himself, Foraker, Aldrich
Cannon others would be needed in the
campaign and at the polls and that it
would be just as well 10 recognize their
branch Of the Republican party.

Sturgeon Law May Bring Trouble.

The sturgeon fishermen OF New Castle
and vicinity will at once begin to prepare
Tor the sturgeon fishing season and will
begin the fishing about a week hence.
The laws of the State permit the use OF a
ten and one-half inch mesh, while the
New Jersey laws permit the use of nets
with a thirteen inch mesh, and no stur-
geon less than five and a half feet in
length may be taken. The fishing
grounds are in the Delaware River and
the affair will now mean a conflict be-
tween the States and various law suits be-
tore the season ends, because the New
Jersey fish wardens will attempt to ar
rest the Delaware fishermen for fishing
with a mesh smaller than provided Thy
their laws.

High School Course
State Educational Authorities Ar
ranging for the First Class.

The New Jersey State. Board of Educa.
ton, at a meeting held in Atlantic CITY
in April, by unanimous vote, adopted a
resolution establishing a High School
Teachers Course at the State Normal
School at Trenton.
The object of this course is to provide
an opportunity for those in our State who
wish to teach in the high schools to pre-
pare themselves within the State and
under the State system of public ~instruc-
ton just as under this system they have
hitherto prepared themselves in the
Normal School more especially for teach
ling in the elementary grades.
The conditions of admission to this
course are the same as those for admission
to the regular normal school courses.
The length of the course is four years
Two years OF the work OF the course is
the equivalent of the regular normal
course. Two years of it is academic
work with teaching in view. This AGA
demic work will fully cover that which
is usually given in the freshmen and
sophomore years of the college courses,
and which, together with the professional
the equivalent of teachers college
| course.
Graduates of any one of the regular
normal school courses may complete this
course in two years. Those who begin
this course when they first enter the nor.
NAL school will be permitted to modify
in two or three particulars, TO be desig-
nrted later, the work usually to the regular
professional courses.
One of the very great advantages of
this course is that it can be taken at the
same modest cost of the regular normal
course. that is to say, simply the expense
at the dormitories for boarder. :
A class will bek started n September,
1908. Already a number OF the graduates
of the Normal School have registered for
this class.
