Reply Is Requested.

This action marks victory for the
state liability board Of awards, which
says insurance companies have been
writing policies protecting clients
from acts of omission and commits
sion. Insurance companies justified
themselves on the ground that, under
the liability act, there still are condi-
tions under which an injured employe
can sue for damages and it was
against this contingency that they
sought to protect their clients.
Mr.. Moores letter directs that com.
panies shall inform his department
whether they have issued such offend.
ing policies and, if they have, what
steps have been taken to comply with
his ruling.

Social Survey of State.

A social survey of the state is in
progress under the direction of DR..
Warren H. Wilson. 1t is the result of
an elementary presentation of the
matter to the state agricultural con-
vention last winter, by L. H. Goddard
of the state experiment station. He
brought out the fact that according to
statistics gathered by the state board
OF agriculture, there were abandoned
churches-one at least in each of over
400 townships in the state and that
in many other places where churches
had not been abandoned, the attend
ance had greatly fallen off.
This means, of course, that many
thousands of dollars that have been
donated to religious work have been
for one reason or another allowed to
go to waste. 1t is important to know
what these reasons are. There is an
advisory council under which DR..
Wilson is working, of which DR.. w.
d. Thompson of the State university
is the chairman. In it's membership
are represented most of the many col
leges of the state and the principal re-
ligious denominations.
The survey proposes to get first
hand facts on these subjects among
others: The farmers income - is it
adequate to social improvement?
Recreation in country towns, its moral
direction and tendencies. The Penn
sylvania Germans in Ohio. Rural
Presbyterians as a productive type.
Social forces characteristic of the
Western Reserve. DR.. Wilson sug-
gests that in this work there is ex-
cellent practical laboratory work for
cellent practical laboratory work for
the college students in sociology who
wish to put in their vacations with it..
