New York SUM-
Rome, Feb 24.-The vatican has
issued an order from the pope to the
effect that all religious institutions in
Rome must comply with the motu
proprio Of 1908. In regard to the reform
OF church music. The pope rules that
the Gregorian chant must in future be
adopted at all sacred services and must
be accompanied exclusively by an
organ. Any. other instrument is for
hidden.
Part singing is abolished and women
are not allowed to sing except as part
Of the congregation. Hence they are
excluded from choirs. with the excep-
ton Of those female religious conmun-
tiles where nuns and schoolgirls are
allowed to sing. provided the music ts
the pure Gregorian chant.
All choirmasters and organists are
required to pass an examination which
must be held by a special commission
on sacred music. and without its GER
ti1cate they can not possibly be en-
ployed at sacred functiors.. The rules
at present only affect some dioceses.
but it is the pope's intention gradually
to extend them to all dioceses in Italy
and abroad.
The announcement that the pope has
desired that no cardinals or bishops
shall attend evening receptions where
ladies appear in low cut dresses has
struck a good many people as seeming
superfluous. In the "hlack" or clerical
section of Roman society and in all
Roman Catholic countries il has always
been the unwritten law for ladies at
tending a reception at which prelate
was present either 10 wear high dress
or TO cover their shoulders with lace
or gauze.
1t is less the fashion in England
nowadays for the greater churchmen to
go into society. especially in the even
ing. than it used to be about thirty
years ago. In those days the cards Of
invitation of the more important Rom
an Catholic hostesses often bore the
words ITO meet his Eminence the Car
dinal." and on these occa sions no lady
would have dreamed of appearing with
uncovered shoulders

Progressive Unitariani.m.

A Methodist clergyman in the YES.

discourse warning the country against
the stealthy diffusion of Unitarian doc
trines among the members Of the
Evangelical communions.
Precisely what this clergyman means
by Unitarian doctrines woulG not be
apparent were it not that he 6enounces
the denomination as distinctly nom
christian. This makes il evident that
he has in mind the most radical type
of Cnitarianisla. or what wouli have
been regarded as such twenty-five
years ago. In the early days OF the

PAVING FOR LESS THAN 81.

Inc lmeS-RepuDlcan is in receipt
of the specifications for concrete, paw
ing which was let for 90 cents per
yard. at Cedar Falls this week. The
specifications, while not OF the best,
ere not such as to account for the
price. 1t must be conceded that sew
eral contractors want the JOB OF lag
ing good concrete paving this spring
at less than 81 per yard and If ever
there was time to do paving it is
right now.
The Cedar Falls paving Is Of con-
crete base five inches thick mixed one
part cement TO five parts mine run
or pit run gravel except that the gravel
must test not more than half sand nor
less than one fourth sand. Pit run
mixture is neither scientific nor cheap.
The chances are that gravel pits at

that the question IL more than fuss
about clothes" The Continent gives
this statement Of the situation: ,rfa
The schools involved In this dispute
are schools which the Catholic church
for q time conducted as avowedly Sec
tartan mission woodwork designed to
make Catholic converts. For similar
enterprises no protestant denomination
would ever dream of trying to get pub
lie support. But Catholic priests still
stick to it that public tax money ought
to pay the expenses Of their parochial
schools, and in the Indian schools OF
the federal government they seem to
be working for practical exhibit Of
their theory So they have persuaded
the Indian bureau to take over one
after another OF their mission schools
and finance them out Of the national
treasury. The school houses are rented
from the Catholic church and the
Catholic teachers are put on the public
ray roll without even the formality of
civil service examination. which
other teachers in the same work are
not allowed to escape.
'Of course. when this transfer takes
place. a pretense is made Of secu-
larizing the schools. But the same
school rooms are used. the same dis
tinc,ive symbols Of papal ideas remain
displayed on the walls. and the same
monks and nuns continue TO teach,
wearing just as before the dress which
invests them with religious authority
in the eyes of the school children. In
some cases instruction in Roman doc
trine and ceremonial is even given in
school hours. From conditions OF this
sort the whole broad problem of up
holding the religious impartiality of
the American commonwealth rises into
view. Protestants would deem it a dis
graceful subterfrge to unload their
missionary institutions in any such
fashion on the shoulders of the gov
eminent. Shall they forbear to protest
when Roman priests are practicing
strategies SO insidious for a purpose
