Department of Labor Forced to Use

Lack of funds has forced the new De-
partment of Labor in its moving opera
tons to use high-salaried clerks where
day laborers could be used. Although the
moving is costing the department s1,70O,
the, contract only calls for taking the fur

rooms. and are. by being forced to do
this laboring work, holding UP to some
extent government business for which
they receive higher salaries.
The Department of Commerce has loaned
its offspring all of the laborers, messen-
gers charwomen, etc, it can spare at
the time but even with these the De-
partment of Labor is declared to be hand
icapped to such an extent that 1t is forced
to use its high-priced clerks.
Chief Clerk Watson OF the labor de-
.partment this morning declared that ii
could not be helped. the material just
had to be moved. and there was nobody
else except the clerks to help in the stu

ADVENT|STS CONSIDER
EDUCATIONAL PROBLEMS
Urged That Seminary at Ia
k0ma Park Retain Its
Present Status.

The whole of one session today of the
/ joint council of the General and North
American Division Conferences of Sew
enth-Day Adventists, which is being
held at Takoma Park, was given over to
the thrashng out of problems concerning
the Washington Foreign Mission Semi
nary the Mount Vernon (Ohio) College
| the South Lancaster (Mass) Academy
and the Southern Training School N
Graysville, Tenn The discussion was
prompted by a series of resolutions sub
| mtted by the educational department. OF
which Prof. ]. L. Shaw is the secretary
/ In substance one Of the recommends
/! tons was that the Washington foreiSt'
Mission Seminary resume the status OF
college, for which 1t already has char
ter. 1t was suggested that the lnstltu-
ton operate in harmony with the gen
eral course of study adopted by the eau
cational department of the two confer
ences and also that one of the main de
partments be conducted for foreign mis-.
sions, in order to facilitate and
strengthen the plan of the mission board
of the denomination for the training OF
appointees to foreign lands In special
studies.
Another suggestion was that Mount
Vernon College be reduced to twelve
grades and turn over it's patronage and
Washington College, and that there be
some equitable division of the Columbia
Union territory. which takes in the
states of Pennsylvania, Ohio. Maryland,
Virginia, West Virginia, New Jersey,
Delaware and the District of Columbia,
for the patronage in the academic grades
May Retain Present Status.
These problems drew forth some in
tertesting discussion, in which repre-
sentatves from all parts of the North
American field took part. Many sug-
gestions were made concerning the
future operation OF the seminary in
Takoma Park, and the trend of the
arguments put forth seemed to he that it
should manhattan it's present status an
institution where young men and wom-
en- can get their final preparations be-
fore engaging in foreign missionary
endeavor. Should this be the decision,
Mount Vernon College would continue
as it is. The question will come up
again for consideration at this after
moons session.
Plans were outlined to advance de-
nOminational endeavor in Samoa, South
Australia, and islands in the South
seas. Elder u. n. Wall of Escondido.
Cal, who has spent several years as an
evangelist among the German-speaking
population in several of the large cities
i'm this country. will be invited to pio-
neer this work. Elder Wall has eX-
pressed a desire to go to this field.
