CLASSED AS F|RETRAPS
Many SchooIhouses in Country
Condemned by Bureau
of Education.

Schoolhouses that are firetraps con-
tinue to be erected throughout the
country, despite the tragedies OF the
past and the United State bureau OF
education today issued an appeal for
better construction of buildings in
which the youth is educated. Ohio,
Massachusetts, and Kansas are the
three states given credit for seeking
safer construction and better safe
guards against fire horrors In schools.
The remainder of the country, in the
opinion of the bureau, fails to take
necessary precautions.
Most communities appear to be still
oblivious of the fire risk in schools,
says the bureaus report. "Out Of G53
school buildings noted for one month
in 1913, only % are reported with fire
proof specifications. Cities that have
Just had destructive school fires APP
pear to be building in the same old
way.
Constant Menace to Life.
The bureau condemns emphatically
what it terms gingerbread school
houses that are constant menace to
the lives of the school children" 1t
expresses establishment that with the
advancement of architecture and the
increased knowledge of fireproofing
such buildings should be tolerated.
1T is pointed out that the rapid
spread of the school social center
movement" the report concludes, which
involves extensive use of the school
buildings by the general public outside
of school hours. makes it more i'm
portant than ever to insist upon ade
quate fireproof construction in schools"

Presbyterian Assemblies Turn
Attention to Routine Bust
ness Matters.
ORGANIC AFFILIATION
QUESTION FOR FUTURIST
Southern Church Declines to Overture
for Change in Infant Elect
Declaration.

ATLANTA. Ga. May 20-With the
likelihood that nothing further will be
accomplished until next year toward the
organic union of all branches OF Presby-
ternianism following the action OF the
Southern Assembly in voting to consider
for the present no union with the United
PRESBYTERIAN Church. the three big as
semblies today devoted their attention
largely to matters of UNCONVENTIONAL In
terest. In all three. however, recon-
mendations urging all Presbyterian
churches to study the negro problem were
made by committee from the council Of
federated churches in America. 1t Is
evident among the visiting ministers and
laymen that the opportunity of close
study of the negro afforded during ses-
sions of the assemblies in Atlanta has
done much to crystalline sentiment for
the more vigorous advancement of negro
education and religion.
Question of Orthodoxy.
While deliberations of the assemblies
today We're marked by less controversy
than those of yesterday more than Or
binary interest was shown in the north
ern bodys continuation of speeches for
and against "a resumption of church re-
latons with Union Theological Seminary
The beliefs entertained by the institu
tons faculty again were made the OBJ
ject of attack on the charge that doc
trines out of accord with the church are
taught in the seminary
The first ripple of dissension that has
appeared at the sessions of the United
Assembly sessions came yesterday after
noon. when Dr. W. b. Smiley. secretary
of the Sabbath school board. charged
that politics was al the root of a move
to permanently shift the Sabbath school
extension work from the board of publ
cation to the board of home missions
DIR. Smiley pleaded with the assembly
to lift the work out of the petty: per-
sonalitieS into which it may have fallen.
After discussion lasting two hours Il
was decided to postpone action until the
converting of the next general assembly,
but the Rev F.. r. Raitt was chosen to
succeed DIR. Smiley as secretary of the
board
No Change in Confession of Faith.
Interest in yesterdays session of the
Southern Assembly centered in renewal
of the activities directed toward changing
the much-discussed elect-infant clause of
the confession of faith BY a substantial
ma jority the recommendation of the COM
mittee on overtures and bills that no
amendment seeking to change the form
of this clause be sent to the presbyteries
was adopted.
Women of the Southern Presbyterian
Church yesterday afternoon demanded
and received recognition for their work
in the mission fields. communication
asking that their donations to missions
be accredited directly to the missions and
not to the mission board. This request
was granted.

fer to the Pacific Coast.

been filed and War Department Of
