It would have been a pleasure to have
had the Commissioner Of Education ac-
company the members on this inspecting
tour, as in this manner only can the
actual conditions Of the property used for
school purposes be judged as to its merits
and at the same time get line upon the
various district school boards and their
interest in the work.
A copy Of this report has been mailed

Accused Official.

founder Of the George Junior Republic,
was exonerated by the board of direct
ors of the National Association Of
Junior Republics Of the charges
brought against him recently relating
to his alleged treatment of certain
young women members of the Free
vile Republic, in this state. A board
of judges composed of Joseph II.
Choate, Samuel Seabury and Miss Lii.
lian D. Waid, to whom the records
of the case had been submitted, found
recently that George had been guilty
of "willful misconduct" but had not
been swayed "by a desire to injure or
abuse young women. The report Of
the special committee and the opin-
ion Of the board Of judges were upheld
by the national directors.

movement to rid the Church of Eng

to a church or other ecclesiastical
bcneilce.
OF the 1900 benefces in the
United Kingdom more than eleven
hundred are dispensed by the king
more than seven hundred by the uni.
versities, and the rest by either bish.
ops and other ecclesiastics, or else
by the mobiles, esquires or other pri'
vate individuals who own the 'llv'
ings' in parishes. For centuries II
has been the prerogative of these pri'
vate owners" of parishes to sell the
post Of established preacher, which is
literally a life job
There still remain in England and
Wales about six hundred parishes
where the right Of naming the rec.

sell it the same way as other prop.

ers possess little. if any, guarantee
that the requirements of religion OF
