PLAN UNDER WAY TO
CHANGE REPRESENTATION

The General Convention of the
Protestant Episcopal Church, which
meets in New York on October 9Th,
will be the occasion of determined
effort on the part of the larger do
ceses in the country to change the
plan of representation in the House
of Deputies. The change will be ad-
vocated on the ground that the pres
ent plan of representation is unjust
inequttable, un-democratic and un-
American.
One of the leaders in this move
ment is Rev. DR.. Randolph H. McKim
of Washin gton, now the President of
the House of Deputies. r.
At the Annual Convention of the
Diocese of Washington which was
held in May Of this year, DR.. McKim'
Introduced resolutions which were
adopted and which have served to
start the agitation that may come be-
fore the Convention.
In the preamble to his resolutions,
DR.. McKim set forth that under the
system of representation now existing
in the Church, dioceses that have less
than 5000 Communicates have as
many representative and as many
votes in the House of Deputies as
those dioceses which contain 48, 900 or
even 10000 communicates.
Legislation adopted under these
conditions said DR.. McKim yester-
day, 'smay utterly fail to reflect the
mind of the Church, and may, there
fore, fail to command the loyal sup
port of the several dioeeses. More
over, should any vital issue of Chris
tan doctrine or ritual, or eec1esias-
teal policy, upon which the mind of
the church was sharply divided, be de-
cided by a technical majority of votes
which really represented a small mi
nority of communicates, the peace
and unity of the church is seriously
imperi11ed.
There is widespread demand that
our present I'M Democratic and I'M
American system, which. is a travesty
upon representative government,
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1913-09-30
shall be changed.

shall be CHANGED.
+'By agreeing upon a certain num-
Der of clergymen in a diocese as the
unit, in a-vote by dioceses and or
ders, and by adopting the fractional
system of voting in the smaller do
ceses, it is possible to Apr oxirnate
equality of representation without re-
ducing or increasing the present num-
Der of Deputies from the dioceses. The
representation in the House of Bish-
ops, as it stands at present, approx.
mates sufficiently the principles of the
equality of the dioceses after the anal
ogy of the United States Senate. The
case has been cited time and time
again of the diocese of Lexington
which has % clergy and 1887 com
munfcants and has the same voting
power as the diocese of New York, for
example, with 412 clergy and 86,25O
communicates.
under our present system of rep
resentation, the two dioceses of Vir-
ginia and Southern Virginia, with 1913
clergy and POS communicates have
in the General Convention 16 votes,
while the six dioceses of Kansas City,
Indianapolis, Springfield, Dallas, Della
ware and Duluth, with 1876 clergy and
24,298 communicates, have 48 votes.
do not think 1t is necessary for me to
refer to any other examples to show
the injustice and un-Americanism of
the present system of representation
The Diocesan Convention at Wash
tngton by resolution auth orized a, com
mtttee of three clergy and two lay
men to prepare a memorial to the
General Convention asking that body
to take immediate steps to remedy de-
fects. A few weeks later the diocese
of Maryland passed similar resofu-
lions and these were quickly followed
by resolutions of the Diocese of
Southern Virginia.
The Convention meets for three
weeks in the grounds of the Cathedral
of st. John the Divine, New York
city, and during those weeks the men
who want the plan of representation

1t is to bring light into the lives of
such unfortunate persons that the in

There are many other institutions
throughout the world where blind deaf

perhaps gives more attention to devel-

any other.
The sense Of touch must necessarily

little unfortunates at Newawes are
taught to "see" with their fingers.
Some Of the children are exceedingly
apt, and all Of them are greatly bene

their playrooms and recreation hours
the same as other children do, and
they enjoy their needles and dolls and
