0USTED AS TEACHER
Mrs. Stetson Barred from
Teaching Christian Science.
Her License Revoked Because She
Gave Students in New York Wrong
Idea Of the Eddy Doc
trines.

Boston.-Mrs. Augusta E. Stetson,
Of New York, has not been expelled
or dismissed from the Christian
Science church, according to a state
ment from Alfred Harlow, Chairman
OF the Mother church committee on
publication, but has had her license
as practitioner revoked. Mrs. Stet.
son still retains her membership in
the church.
The move is the result of a long
inquiry in the methods employed by
her in teaching. The board of direc.
tors In its report finds that Mrs. Stet-
son teaches her students that the New
York branch of the church, with which
she Is connected, is the only legitimate
Christian Science church in that city,
that she has been teaching an errone-
GUS sense of the doctrines, that Mrs.
Stetson has so far strayed from the
right as to be unfit for the work OF
Christian Science teacher.
The trustees of the church have
adopted amendments to the bylaws of
the cnurcn that VIII prevent, 1t Is be-
lieved, recurrence of exactly the
same troubles experienced by the
trustees in the case of Mrs. Stetson.
Section 2 of article 8, on the care
of pupils. is amended to read as fol-
lows:
Christian Scientists who are teach
ers shall carefully select for pupils
only such as have good past records
and promising proclivities toward
Christian Science. A teacher shall
not assume personal control of or
attempt to dominate his pupils, but he
shall hold himself morally obligated

derstanding Of divine principle not
