CHURCH UNION IS
 KEYNOTE OF REPORT

Baltimore. May 9.-rhe event of prime interest in the days session of the quad rennial general conference of the Meth odist church was the presentation by Chairman John F. Boucher of the com mittee on federation of a first report which recommends that the conference appoint a committee of three to consist of a bishop, a minister and a layman, to convey to the Methodist Protestant general conference about to convene in Pittsburg, an invitation to that church to unite with the Methodist Episcopal church to the end That as one great Methodist body they and we may fulfill the better our individual commissions by preventing the waste of rivalry and exalt- ing the god of space"
 The report lies over for action next week. It Is understood that the commit tee having that part of the address of the bishops under consideration will re- port adversely to the recommendation looking to the elimination of certain words in the paragraph of the church discipline dealing with amusements, there having developed great opposition to any change in that portion of the discipline.

FORESTRY PUBLICITY.
Interest Must Be Developed Into Ac-
 ton.

Chief Pinchot said that in the last fis- cal year there had been distributed 2,122,- GOO publications. Upon the mailing list are 100000 names so classified that each publication Is sent only to the persons It concerns.
 Referring to the fact that the present general information of the relation of forestry to the general welfare of the country has been given in the last ten years, Chief Pinchot told the California congressman that interest must be de- veloped into action.'
 "It is not a question of discovering facts and making them known to spe- cialists,'' wrote the forester, "but of working into the everyday thought and everyday practice of great masses of men what the forester already knows. It s necessary to convert scientific informa- tion into common knowledge. This means that not tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, but millions, of citizens must be reached.
 '"To get information into the newspa- pers it is necessary to put 1t into news paper form. The newspaper does not want essays, treatises and reports, but news. Government publications too often fall practically dead from the press, not because they do not contain valuable in- formation, but because this information is not in available form for the average reader.
 By employing men familiar with the peculiar requirements of newspaper work and familiar with the work of this serv- ice. 1t becomes possible to carry on the work of popular education on far more extensive scale and at far lower cost than in any other way"
 This entire service costs the govern- ment $40000 year. and in an effort to test the circulation of articles prepared by the service the results of the last three months of 1907 were calculated upon the known circulation of the papers in which items were printed. So far as could be traced, this circulation exceed ed 90O0,000. To have printed as many copies and distributed them would have cost upward of $60,000. In addition, there would need to be maintained a 9,000, 900 mailing list, which, at first cost for cards, cases, clerical help and other things, would mean. $90,000.
 Concerning the preparation of items for the newspapers, Chief Forester Pinchot said:
 '"The work of putting this matter into the special form necessary is assigned to two men, with some assistance from a. third It engages only part of their time The method employed is to require the whole working force of the service to keep the section of information acquaint- ed with what IS Soihs oh III tie 'driouS lines of work This is done promptly through memoranda, reference of corre- spondence and other papers and word of mouth, which makes 1t possible for the section of information to write up what ever has news value at time when it is news
 Since the members of this section are fully informed of the purpose and meth otls of our work, the matter is so writ ten as to carry the maximum of illumi- mating information. I also see, whether I am in Washington or in the field, q CODY of every article given out

 pr. J. T. Searcy. superintendent of the hospital for the Insane at Tusca- loosa, Ala. read paper on heredity 'n which he went into the technical dis cussion of the forces operating to pro duce insanity and epilepsy. He de- fined heredity as the transmission os habits Of action along the lines of de- scent, and said that the whole field of charities and reform was filled by the problems arising from the heredity or deficiency and effectiveness of psychic morphology and physiology. He in- isisted that heredity plays a greater part in producing different grades Of men than do the agencies of environ ment.
 In discussing the subjects of degene- racy Dr. Searcy said that every pub .ic spirited person should be interested ul the causes of degeneration in the men tai abilities of his race, and insisted that the lower grades increased fastest.
