CHANGES
IN SCHOOL PLANS
Irvington Board Sends Archi-
tect to Confer With State
Officials.

Believing that misunderstanding
of the plans caused the State author
tiles to order changes in the con-
struction of the new Nesbit School
in Irvington, the Board of Education
B. Allen to Trenton to confer with
the State inspector.
1t is commended that the changes
ordered, which are radical in nature,
would apply were the building not
fireproof AS the reverse is true the
Irvington board thinks the State au-
thorities are wrong in their conten-
ton. The question has also been
raised as to how far the jurisdiction
of the State extends in this matter.
The mandate from Trenton, made
known at the meeting of the board
Saturday night, met with criticism
from the school commissioners. Fol-
lowing a prolonged discussion it was
decided to put the matter up to the
new building committee, which will
be appointed at the first meeting of
the fiscal year next Thursday night.
1t appears that plans recently
adopted by the Irvington board were
forwarded to Trenton by Architect
Joseph B. Allen for approval by the
State Board of Education. The draw
ings were subsequently returned to
Mr.. Allen to make the modification
pointed out by Inspector McDermott,
of the State department. The designs
originally provided for nine-room
school with an assembly hall and 1T
seems that the State official decided
that it was an eleven-room building
and directed that certain changes be
made to meet the requirements of the
law as amended last May. These
involved the addition of another stair
way leading from the second story
of the building. Acting under these
instructions Mr.. Allen said Saturday
night that he had altered the draw
ings as suggested, but had received
another notice to the effect that the
plans did not yet comply with the
code and were being returned again
without approval. 1t was stated that
to make the change to provide for the
extra stairway 1t would be necessary
to cut off ten desks in one of the
classrooms and this served to arouse
the members of the board, who felt
IL was unfair to order this done
after the plans had been accepted by
them and the contracts awarded.

Youths Hurled from Wagon
Seat Escape Uniniured

Thrown from the seat of their
wagon when the vehicle was struck
by an automobile at Central avenue
and Halstead street, East Orange,
early yesterday, two youths, Louis
and William Palkowetz, of 80 Craw-
ford street, that city, narrowly
escaped serious injury.
Their wagon was almost wrecked.
The auto was operated by stephen
Harvey, of 4 High street, this city,
and the police did not hold him re-
sponsible, as the youths did not have
a light on the outside of the vehicle.
The light was inside the wagon, the
youths explaining the wind blew it
out when they had it outside the
wagon. Harvey was travelling east
on Central avenue when the youths
started across his path.

DESCRIBE
METHODIST BELIEF
History of Faith Told by South
Orange Pastor and
Curate.

Preaching the third of q series Of
sermons on "Methodism" in the
Catholic Church of Our Lady of Sor-
rows, South Orange. yesterday Rev.
T. M. Donovan. rector. and Rev. c..
A. Corcoran. assistant rector, related
the history of the Methodist faith in
this country and in England Four
Irishmen started the religion in this
country. they said.
In England" the priests said, lit
was a development of the holy club,
formed for the promotion of a more
evangelical spirit among the under
graduates" Methodism proper, they
said, was first organized at Bristol
in 1879, adding that the progress Of
the movement then traced down to
1855, when the legal hunters" were
endowed with all the power which
Wesley had hitherto experienced.
The village clergymen said that
Methodisem had its start in America
at a meeting in New York in 1855,
spreading later to Maryland. Virginia,
Pennsylvania and this State. The
first conference they pointed out was
held at Philadelphia in 1878.
"Methodism. they asserted, was
impeded during the Revolutionary
days ON account of the suspicion
with which its local clergy were held
owing to their allegiance with an
English organization, and also be-
cause of the violent campaign carried
on by John Wesley, in both pamphlet
and sermon, against the independence
of the colonists.
1T is shown the preachers said.
that very frequently in Methodist
history semi-religious affairs were in
jected into the political arena, caus-
ing religious animosity both within
and without the fold. Lecky. a
prominent historian, was very fire.
uently quoted in confirmation of these
words" they concluded.
