The Episcopal Church in 1910 authorized
the election of suffragan bishops. chiefly
to meet the needs of the four large cities
of New York. Boston. Philadelphia, and
Chicago, where churches are so large
and so many that one bishop cannot do
the work. With the conservation of
Bishop Babcock in Trinity Church Tues
day, all four OF the cities named have
now provided themselves with the new
type Of bishop. Two dioceses. Iowa and
Minnesota, have also elected suffragans,
each being too large for one bishop,
while in both it is held to be unwise 10
divide into two dioceses. Two other large
cities. Cincinnati and st. Louis. needing
help for administrative work. have elect
ed coadjutors instead of suffragans.
For the first time in the history of the
Episcopal Church, four types of bishops
will sit in the general convention meet
ing next October. viz: the regular. or do
ceasan: the missionary. supported by the
missionary society and working in new
fields; the coadiutor. possessing the
right of succession upon the death of the
diocesan, and the suffragan an assist
ant who remains such always. unless
elected to a higher place by a duly con-
stituted convention.
The Church OF England has long want
ed the Episcopal Church in America 10
take a missionary district in India. but
IL has declined. and is said TO be likely
to continue so to do. Five missionary
bishops are to be elected by the October
general convention. possibly more IL
more vacancies occur. These are South
ern Florida, Porto Rico. New Mexico. and
Spokane. districts now constituted. and
Panama. where territory will. 1t is said.
be taken over from the Church of Eng
land and a large Jurisdiction created.
This Jurisdiction will. II present plans go
through, consist of a considerable part
Of Central America and possibly some
sections of the United States of Colom-
bia. The city of Panama. with its new
importance as a canal city. may be made
the seat of extensive Episcopal work.

er's interest is decreased his profits are
decreased. With the decline of these in
situations goes the decline OF community
spirit, witnessed in the passing of COM
munity recreations, community gather
ings. and community pride. The spelling
bees, the singing schools, the husking and
quilting bees. the square dances, the log
rollings, and the barn raisings become
things of the past.
Those heathful sports that raced the peaceful scene
Lived in each look and frightened all the green.
These far departing seek a kinder shore.
And rural mirth and manners are no more.
Morals do not flourish in such a stag
nant environment.
This very thing has taken place in the
United States in the last twelve years,
and the condition described is the con-
dition prevailing in the average township
today. Farm land has increased los per
cent in price, and the farmers income
has not increased in proportion. The
average age of marriage has risen
throughout the great majority of our ru-
raj districts Social life is in a stagnant
condition. Over a third of our counties
show a decrease in their rural popula-
ton. The enrolment in the average one
room country school is about half what
1t was ten years ago; the membership
of the country churches has been stead
lily decreasing. The old forms of recrea-
ton have passed away.
The facts are not propounded for the
benefit of the ''pessmists' club" but
rather to point to certain underlying
economic causes of rural decay, and TO
suggest to those of us who are working
for the repair of rural life that We en-
deavor first to remove these economic
causes. II the farming population is to
be a settled population, II II is TO hold its
young men on the farm. it must be made
possible for these young men to procure
land of their own at an early age, and
the income of the farmer pust be made
to keep pace with the rise in the price
of his land. Either his production must
be increased or the price that he receives
for his crops, or both.

FROG Rifles TRAINMEN.
He Initiates the whistles of Big Lo-

Hyrdman pa Correspondent New York World.
This section is considerably stirred up
over reports of a giant frog who has
his abode near a big rock In Wills Creek.
His frogship has caused CONSERVATION
among the trainmen on the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad because of his ability
TO initiate the deep-toned whistles on
the freight engines.
According to the trainmen, the fros
gets upon the rock and sends his deep
throated bass sounding down the valley
exactly as the big Mogul engines sound
their whistles when they call in the flag
men. Several fiagmen, thinking they had
been given the signal to return to their
train, left their posts and wrecks were
narrowly averted.
