Our time is two hours faster than
the Berea time, so that when 1t is
noon here it is only ten o'clock in
Kentucky. And they have an i'm
proved way of telling time, counting
the hours from midnight up to the
twenty-four. For example. one o'clock
p. m. up here is simply called thir-
teen o'clock, and we never have to
ray a. m. or D. m. Our boat this even
ing is to start at halfpast 16 O'Clock,
which means 4:30 p. m.
Some of the newspapers, also,
use more sensible spelling, ded,
SD, hart. telefone, etc.
The Canadian money is not IN

Age for Ordination.

! One OF the leading provisions OF the new
decree according to the Tribuna, will be
that no priest can be ordained until he
has reached the age of twenty EIGHT
years. His holiness will, it is stated, set
forth the reasons which have induced him
TO initiate this reform, which will come
into force at the beginning of next year.
. 1t has been maintained that aspirants
to the priesthood have been allowed to
take the serious VOW of chastity at too
early an age, and. in deferring the period
of ordination. his holiness thinks that
candidates will have more time TO pre-
pare themselves for their serious voca-
ton. Candidates for the priesthood under
the age OF twenty-eight may become as
sistants to the clergy, without. however,
sacerdotal ordination. and they will have
to undergo course of five years study
Of theology and the Holy Scriptures.
There also will be change in the age
for receiving what are known as the
minor orders, the subdiaconate and d.
aconate. The assistants to the clergy,
not being ordained to the priesthood. will
not he able to say mass or hear confess
sions: but they will be able to baptize

preach and SO forth.
e One of the results of this reform I'M
doubtedly will be a temporary diminu-
ton in the number of priests. but their
character will be more mature.

Foreign Correspondence of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence OF Inc star
ROME, March a. 1912.
For some time past rumors have been
in circulation to the effect that the Pope
was contemplating the issue of a decree
relating to the reform of the clergy. In
spite of repeated denials II now seems to
ne practically certain that the document
. Ia question will be published Immediately
before the Easter festival.
The ambition Of his holiness ever since
he succeeded 70 the pontifical throne has
been to carry through a policy of reform.
and one of the guiding principles of his
policy has been that you cannot reform
the people without a preliminary reform
Of the clergy. Several recent DEGREES by
the Pope which have aroused much dis
cussion have had this object in view, but
the forthcoming document. If apparently
trustworthy reports be true. will have
an enormous effect upon the ecclesiastical
world.

The decennial census just completed IL
the first in which the government has
made available the population statistics
of all cities of 100000 or more inhabitants
combined with the population OF the tef-
ritory lying within ten miles of the city
limits Director +. Dana Durand OF the
bureau of the census in making pubic
the tables has designated the new sta
tistical units as metropolitan districts
A widespread interest in the new popu-
lation division is promised, for they
were created only in response to gen.
eral demand for better population figures
for many cities which have dense subur-
ban population In districts which are as
truly a part of the city as the territory
under the municipal government. There
are scores Of cities in the United States
where the municipal boundaries contain
only about a half of the total popula-
ton grouped about the urban center. In
some places the city proper contains as
low as one-third of the population Of the
metropolitan district.
Director Durand thinks that the new
metropolitan district tables will provide
information Of the utmost value to all
persons and business concerns having
frequent need of reliable figures on the
population of the principal cities with
dense suburban districts. which are
bound to the city proper by a network
of transportation lines.

Quoted from the metropolitan districts,
even If the territory may fall within the
ten-mile limit of the city boundaries.
Through this method. the tables show
solely the strength Of the urban popula-
ton Of a district, and do not INCLUDE
farming communities on the outskirts.
State boundaries have been disregarded
in making the metropolitan districts, for
in cases like New York and Philadelphia,
cities which are within the ten-mile
limit fall in a second state. Newark and
Jersey City are two cities of more than
200 600 Inhabitants which do not appear
in the tables giving the figures FOR the

to the fact that both of these municlpali-
ties are included within the metropolitan
