ENGLAND UNITED
IN CLOSER BOND
Germany Becomes Friend
Through New Ruler.

London, July 1.-THE late King Edward
went to his grave known to his people
and the world at large as the Peace
maker" but had he lived much longer he
would probably have lost his claims to
this title, for while the newspapers at the
time Of his death expressed fears that
his demise would impair the position and
influence in the concert Of nations, states
men now say that he left England within
appreciable distance OF war with Ger
many, a fact for which the conservative
press OF England was undoubtedly far
more to blame than he.
Now the newspapers say that the like
lihood OF war between Germany and
England, war which could not fail to
embroIl other nations, has diminished by
at least 80 per cent.
1t cannot be denied that the relaxation
OF the tension between Germany and
Great Britain is altogether phenomenal.
and to most people wholly unexpected. It
has not been brought about by the diplo-
mats, nor yet by the cabinet ministers OF
the two nations, still less BY any Of the
numerous organizations that have been
formed for the promotion Of peace, but
by the personal efforts of the two rulers.
King George and the Kaiser, who are
cousins. Moreover, 1t has been accom-
plished without impairing in any way the
entente cordiale between England and
France.

Successful New Summer School.

Successful New Summer school.
In connection with the new summer
school Of the Catholic University, Wash
ington. the Catholic Missionary Union
started this year a summer school for
catechists. The latter Is held at the
Apostolic Mission House, and is attend
ed by 800 Sisters from all parts OF the
country. This is a record-breaking at
tendance for q new Catholic school. The
aim is to train women for work in neg
Iected rural districts, some OF them in
the South. instruction covers especially
the diplomacy OF convert making, argu-
ments to employ with n-Catholics to
bring them into the Catholic Church,
and treatment of converts after they have
left their Protestant associations. There
is also a retreat for workers, spiritually
to strengthen them for winning others.
The regular work of the Apostolic Mis-
sion House is training priests and lay
men for missionary work under bishops,
and for assignment to dioceses as against

olic Church, of workers under orders and

Scientific management" and the
''bug investigator" have at last
struck the church. Willing to ad-
. NIT that in the days of old the
Church could make "goody-
goodies" the more serious question
/isnow being put to the ecclesiastics,
Can the church make good" a
Pc New York divine proposes to give
answer to the query in a Washing
ton pulpit tomorrow morning.
} Here is live issue. If you doubt
it, ask any well-quaIifed business
man who is church trustee, who
has to do with the strictly business
aspects of church management, and
Ehe will quickly tell you that it is a
olive question. Itis not merely that
the "dogmas of the quiet past are
lSinadequate;; ;" it is a question of dol
lars and cents and of man-efficiency.
EFFICIENCY TESTS.
AS in the realm of business or the
Federal service, the place to start eff
cheney tests is on the inside. Criticism
of the church and church management
the application Of the gospel of eff
cheney" ought originate with the
churchmen themselves, and this is just
what is happening. Witness the com
missions church congresses" stan
dardizing fnangelists," all coming for
ward within a decade with their tests
end new programmes.
Presbyterians have not been the last
to get into this scientific management
spirit. In many ways they have led the
way. Theirs was the first church and
labor department, for instance. The
Continent, of Chicago and New York, is
their most progressive journal. 1t de-
voted a full page leading editorial to
the question last week. It's good stuff, -
too. And for many churchmen who
are anxious to get at settled principles
for advancing business and general ef-
ficiency of the churches, it is worth
reading.
"Scientifc Management"
Whenever a new business idea comes
into vogue, there is sure to be a cry to
have it applied in the church, writes
Nolan Rice Best editor of the CONT
nent The proudest religious wisdom Of
a lot of people consists in their pet re-
mark that the church ought to be run
on business principles "
So now, when scientific management"
is the reigning fancy of up-to-date busi-
ness, the suggestion is glib that the
church, if also up to date, will jump to
seize the advantages Of this new idea.
But running a church on business prin-
ciples is not so easy as it sounds. Rules
for industry and trade do not fit into the
sphere of the church half so neatly as
airy takers are wont to assume.
A bit of comparison between scientific
management and practical church con-
ditions will be worth while for two
reasons:
In the first place, it will help show how
narrowly the transfer of business meth
ods into church work is limited by the
simple but seldom considered fact that

KING IS ENTITLED
TO So IN SALARY

London, July liking George, while in
Wales for the investiture of his son as
Prince Of Wales, will not be far from st.
David's Cathedral. of which he is pre-
bendary. St. David's is the only cathe-
dral in the realm that has a royal pre-
bendary among its ecclesiastical officers
and the Office dates back TO the day OF
William the Conqueror.
It is not known why the cathedral au-
thorlties made this office hereditary for
the reigning sovereign, but probably the
Welsh eccIesiastics wished in some way
formally TO recognize the King Of Eng
land. Two OF three kings have been for
maIly installed at a special service. But
this seemed to be one of the few things
that George V is to be allowed to escape.
The Kings prebendal stall is surmount-
ed by the royal arms and no other person
is entitled to use the seat. The King as
prebendary is entitled to salary of S

ST. JOHNS COLLEGE

Famous Names on Roster of
Cambridge School.

London, July 1.-two days ago st.
Johns College, Cambridge, celebrated the
4OOth anniversary of its foundation.
Founded as late as 1911, when eleven Cam
bridge colleges were already in existence,
st. Johns was able from the outset the
better to distinguish between the practical
and the purely idealistic in the promotion
Of knowledge. 1t became at cnce famous
for It's Grecians, and the famous names
in the list Of its alumni may be taken as
at least some justification for the classical
learning 1t impaired.
Here in 1917 was Sir Thomas Wyatt,
the diplomatist. Cecil, the great Lord
BurIeigh, was a member Of St John s.
Other famous "Johnians," to mention
only a few, were Thomas Wentworth
Earl of STAFFORD, William Wilberforce'
Viscount Palmerston. George Selwyn. and
John William CoIenso. The poets Nash
Greene, Constable. Ben Jonson, Herrick'
Prior, and Wordsworth were st. John
men. Here, too, was Samuel Butler,
Roger Ascham, and the great Bentley.
The LAtinist ]. E. B. Mayor, the astron-
omer, Sir John Herschel, and ]. c.

tune, were all Johnians.

Attack Oriental Problem.

Methodists OF the Pacific Coast, through
their University of Southern California
at Los Angeles, the Rev. DR.. G. F. Bo-
ward, president, have attacked the Qri-
entail problem as it now affects the Coast
and is certain to affect this country. In
the university there has been founded an
Oriental department to teach American
students the ideas and ideals of the
Orient Methodists argue that the ques-
ton consists of much more than the find
ing out of Oriental customs and the ap-
pIication to them OF American ideas.
They affirm that there are in Japan and
China many things that American civ
ilization may well absorb-even follow.
At the head of the new department has
been placed Prof. J. NJ. Dixon, a we'll
known OrIentalist, and associeted with
him are heads of Chinese and japanese
missions in San Francisco. Additional
study of Oriental conditions, made in the
Orient itself is made possible by the UNI
versity, and this study is to be placed at
the disposal OF the Coast, while appeals
will be made for students from other
parts of this country. The thought is
that Orientalism. in its immediats bear
Ing. is a matter of vital importance to all
America, not TO the Coast only. Metho-
dists report much interest in the venture.
