A Pension System for the Episcopal
Church.

In a Preliminary Report issued to-
dav the Commission on Pensions OF
the Episcopal Church developes
some interesting information. The
report shows that the Episcopal
church pays SS.OOo.O00 a year in sal
aries to it's clergy. who number 5aoo.
The bold plan purposed by the com
mission Is intended not only 10 pen
sion the whole body of the CLERGY
when they become 65 years old, but
also to pension the widows. To cdu-
cate their orphan children, and 10
take care of clcrgymcn disabled n
any age. II will apply to foreign
missionaries as well as 10 the entire
United States. The pension will be
approximately hali-pay.
The sums Of money involved are
large. No less than $7.00O.0OO will
be necessary TO provide for the pen
sion obligations at the start. and no
less than 100000 will be thereafter
expended each year By the Pension
Fund
This pension plan is the result OF
a comprehensive study carried on
for three years by a commission Of
distinguished ChurChman Ct which
Bishop Lawrence OF Massachusetts is
chairman. and Bishop Greer Of New
work is member. The pension
plan was framed by Mcneil Sayre
an official of the Carnegie Foundation
and an authority on pensions. who is
one OF The SIX laymen who are mem
bers Of the Commission.
The plan Is based upon DE studl
Of every pension system in the work
including those Of governments, col

THE NORMAL SCHOOLS
More Girls Wanted to Become Tram
ed Teachers.

Gu
Az the time draws near for the
onening of the Normal schools III
Vermont. it is growing more ana
more certain that those, VINO desire
TO become teachers, as well as thoSe
who are now teaching in the slate'
are preparing to take advantage III
greater numbers than ever OF me
opportunities offered by the vermont
Normal schools for the training Oh
teachers.
Educational conditions in the state
seem to be changing rapidly. Inc
opportunities for teachers, as tar as
wages are concerned, are suieiy
growing better. School Boards anu
superintendents in very large NUMB
ers are taking advantages OF me law
passed by the last Legislature
which says that every town employ
ing graduate of a Normal school'
if if paws at least seven dollars
week and board the first year a1te-
graduation, shall receive a rebate
from the state of one dollar week
for each teacher so employed. rms
surely means better wages for the
teachers.
The Castleton Normal school grad
uated forty-eight teachers III June
and of this number practically al
are to receive a. least ten dollars
week. The prospects for the coming
wear are especially coed at that
school. The entering class already
numbers thirty. OF this number
nearly half are teachers and a very
large proportion are High schooi
graduates
More than ever teachers seem 10
realize the need of a Normal school
training and to appreciate the iac'
that the best positions are open &c
those. who have studied at a NOT
may school, whose whole object Is tt
show others how to teach.
Never before has sc many gradu
ates Of High schools entered the
Castleton Normal school, as there
will enter this fall. The number en-
tering in September will almos
equal, as far as High school gradu
ates are concerned all those IN inc
entire history of the school Wn(
have been High school graduates
when they entered the school.
A teacher without professional
training, who has never attended
Normal school, is very likely to flint
herself in a small school with it'll
opportunity and low wages. Not on
" will she find hersef there, but !
will not be easy for her TO place he'
self in an appreciably better position
It is a recognition of this fact, who
is causing so many teachers 10 ente
the Normal school and compelling 5
many High school graduates TO a
the same, before they take up teaci
ing. 1t would seem that the grad'
ates of Vermont Normal schools ar
to have their choice of the best pos
tons in Vermont.
Those desiring information regar'
ing the Castleton Normal scho'
can obtain catalogue OF IN
school by addressing Princip'
Charles A. Adams of Castleton.
