been given by the A. A. U.
one thing which favors speed is the
size of the building in which the meet
Is to be held. In addition to the CO.
yard straightway dashes, there is plen-
ty of space for the field events To be
running at the same time and there
will be no delay between the dashes

the necessity Of removing the dash

there will be six lanes for the dashes
instead of four This will facilitate
matters as there will be six men i'm
each trial heat. making fewer Of the
preliminaries, and six Instead OF four

down the number Of prelimnaries.
The tanbark floor is expected to be
the cause of exceptionally fast time. as

silver cup to every athlete who hangs

forts to lop off the time in the run or

HARVARD head APPROVES
RtYISED FOOTBALL RULES

Boston, Mass. Feb. 22.-The revised
football rules have met with the APP
proval of President Lowell Of Harvard
university. In his annual report to
the board of overseers OF the univer-
sity, President Lowell says regarding
football:
THE well-nigh universal feeling that
intercollegiate games of football were
too dangerous To life and limb. has re-
suited in an effective revision of the
rules. These have not perhaps been I'm
operation long enough TO produce their
ultimate results and it would seem
that the teams i'm some of the colleges
have not yet become accustomed To
them, but the changes have certainly
not made the game a less interesting
spectacle and among Harvard players
at least, the injuries have been greatly
reduced, both in number and gravity
President Lowell says that the past
year ended with a deficit of more than
$4,000 to the university.
IAN opinion appears 10 be prevalent
the report says that Harvard is an in
stitution which has only to ask for
money in order to obtain it. but UNI
fortunately the work she is doing to-
day exceeds her resources even with
the most rigid economy. We are try
ing to be as economical as possible
but i'm a university where the chief
source Of expense is the salary of in
structors. it is impossible to make re-
auctions rapidly. even If that could be
done without impairing the value of
its work"

which Capt. Howe is said to favor, Is
the securing of Howard Jones at n sal

The plan is bound to meet with OPP

is made that despite the large profits

that 1t will bring a charge of profess

MORE MONEY FOR
THE MINISTER'S
COUNTRY WIDE MOVEMENT TO
RAISE SALARIES OF PAS
TORS HAS BEEN
STARTED.

Is the average salary paid to minis
ters sufficient to enable a man to live
and maintain a family as becomes a
man of the cloth?
Does the average church intention
ally ask poorly paid man to deliver
stirring sermons?
II the average minister in the small
en- churches grows lax in his enthusi-
asm occasionally and even seeks
change of location or employment, is
he bamable?
Copper country ministers will un-
doubtedly be interested i'm a movement
begun by S. M. Barton of Cleveland,
publisher of the Expositor, for better
salaries for ministers.
Country Wide Movement.
Mr.. Barton plans country wide
movement for the betterment of the
conditions under which cergymen
work and he believes that when the
facts are once known and appreciated
by laymen, they will take steps TO
correct conditions and give the minis

the living expenses of the day and in
harmony with the character of the
work they are called upon to do
In the February number of the FIX
positor Mr.. Barton sets forth the trou-
bes of the minister from the financial
standpoint. He is convinced that con-
gregations, where many members ride
in autos. are abundantly able and
ought to be willing TO allow their min
listers a salary that would at least
solve the problem of maintaining a
household. He is of the opinion that
ministers ought to be expected to do
good work and for that they ought to
be paid by the congregations they
serve, rather than be compelled to add
TO their income by outside employ
ment. If the salary is ample to meet
the living problem the minister has
the time to devote to his work and
the result should be better sermons,
more effective pastoral supervision and
more substantial results for the
churches.
Salaries TOO small.
AS soon as the movement Is under
way here Mr.. Barton will tour the East
and already has arranged to form
an association in Philadelphia and an
other in Boston. He believes the
movement will be country wide In
few months. He has arranged to have
the work told in detail i'm n number
of farm papers that will stir up the
subject in the country villages.
THE average salary paid to min
listers outside of the twenty-five large
cities OF the country is 1915" Mr.. Bar
ton says I'VE have information of
ministers in the smaller places being
paid as low as $3.50 per year. In cities
averaging $4,000 the average salary of
the ministers is about $500. There are
cases where the salary has been cut
to enable the church To buy pipe or
gan. We know of one church in New
York where tho salary is $500 and
where twenty costly automobiles are
driven to the church by the members
almost every Sunday. Some of the
letters received from ministers are pa
thetic. We want them to have living
wage and we want a form of contract
used that will afford them payment at
regular intervals. Churchmen, college
presidents and wealthy business men
