COLLEGE GIRLS TO
 AID IN RURAL WORK

Five thousand college girls, inspired
 in part by the leadership of Mrs Fran
 cis B. Sayre. President Wilson's daugh-
 ter. go into rural communities this
 summer and head what are called Eight
 Week clubs. These clubs are planned
 hy the Young Womens Christian as-
 sociations, and represent the tremen-
 dous increase from last year of 4S00
 The plan was tried out last summer
 and proved so good that all possible
 emphasis has been put on the work
 this summer. Into Ohio Illinois and
 Michigan will go the largest numbers,
 but many states in the south and west will have clubs. Colleges represented are practically all principal ones.
 For eight weeks. or half their regu- lar vacations, well-to-d college girls most of them able to bear their own expenses and some even to help the work with money as well as personal service, go out as leaders of clubs of young women in towns too small to have a regular association. Especial attention is given to girls in strictly
 rural communities, where there is not even village life.
 During these weeks rural young women are taught to make the most of ltheir lives. Leaders from colleges are strictly prohibited from spending time telling girls about city life,5 about col lege gayeties, and are compelled to teach the handling of rural eommuni- ties problems Practical points are given about church work about so- cial work, how to make the most of a public library, or if there be none to start one even if small. Away be-

PRESBYTERIANS WOULD
 ATTACK PRISON SYSTEM

The Blue Book of the Presbyterian general assembly, which has just con- vened in Chicago but as yet hardly taken up its business, recommends the Presbyterian church to attack vigor- ously and at once the prison admins- tration of most states. It will, If 1t adopt it's blue book report. approve the honor system and condemn in strong terms the present plan of send ing men into confinement with the idea of reforming them Especially is it urged by it's own programme com mittee to enter upon reform of crimi- nal administration of children's courts It points out that judges of courts are appealing to Christians to help them and present conditions, and declares that the Presbyterian church must re- spond.
 Hardly less emphatic Is the same blue book in recommending the Presbyte- rian church to take up a campaign against the white slave traffic. It states that recent agitation has made matters worse than before and that not agitation but education of the young in sex matters is essential. Parents In Presbyterian households are to have pointed out to them their responsi- bilities to state and church for the proper sex training of their children.
 The blue book finally urged the con solidation of all existing boards doing educational work into one large so- ciety to be called the board of Chris tian education. This matter has been under consideration for sometime. A foremost advocate of 1t has been Pres ident John Willis Baer of Occidental college at Los Angeles. It is known to be opposed by the board of publi- cation, one of the largest societies af- fected, and the prediction Is heard that there will be a stout opposition made on the assembly floor.

Y. NJ. C. A; GETTING READY
 FOR EYENTUAIITIES

The army and navy branch of the
 ! foung Mems Christian association has perfected plans with tent and supply makers to put into service within q fortnight or a little more 135 tents,
 ooSsV rect each. In case President Will
 son calls upon the state troops for
 Mexican service. This number will fur
 nish tent for every three regiments
 A call for troops finds the associa
 ton ready to move as quick as the troops do
 Secretaries in 100 cities. many of
 them having had some experience with
 enlisted men, have volunteered 10 go
 to the front in charge of association
 tents. Twenty men have been already selected and hold themselves ready for a call of troops. Association headquar-
 ters have just dispatched to Vera Cruz oo,ooo sheets of writing paper. 25,050 envelopes and many games.
 Welfare Secretary Elder reached
 Vera Cruz on April e5, and has now in service freight car which is fitted
 up as association room capable of be- Ing shifted as occasion required and tracks permit. In it are writing desks. a reading room, and here on Sundays and some weeks night Bible classes and public meetings are held. There
 are 5000 marines to be cared for. W. H. Chaffee who has seen asso- eiation service in Haiti and Cuba, is with General, Fun jton. He has tent
 6ox90 feet, and is provided with nov ing pictures as well as all of the equip ment of association headquarters. As- soeiation men, writing from Vera Cruz, say they did not at first see why the government landed there Now they
 know 1t was to help the Mexicans, whom they say are so dirty, so igno- rant, so little like civilized peoples that Christian fOrcpS Ought fO have gone there long ago. The branch stands ready to send two additional secretaries, who are to leave now al- most any day.

his own pastor, the course of John D. Rockefeller in the Colorado and other situations is condemned. or if not openly so. then declared not to help discharge Christian responsibility to any extent.
 Prevalent wars, labor troubles. civic unrest-all these are said by those men on the inside of church organizations, those who make the plans for others to follow, to put up propositions that must be met. and met immediately. The yearly meeting of Quakers. just held, has issued an open letter on one phase of the subject addressed to editors of daily newspapers. Other general bodies, meeting this month and next, will assuredly take action, so leaders say. So serious is the outlook that not few clergy have cancelled berths secured for trips abroad. Not in many years has the beginning of summer faced situation so momen- tous to the churches. Such Is the talk among delegates to all conventions.

DIR. E. P. HILL WILL
 SUCCEED DIR. THOMPSON

It is now reported on authority that when reports of the board of home missions are in order in the Presbyte- rian general assembly, just come to- gether in Chicago for a three weeks session, the veteran secretary the Rev. pr. Charles l.. Thopmson. will resign and that his successor will be the Rev. Dr. Thompson, secretary for 15 years, will be made secretary emeritus if he takes this action. He Is one of the best known home missionary leaders anywhere, having been president of the home missions council from its be- ginning. This council has in its mem bership all home missionary societies in the United States.
 Criticism of the Presbyterian home boards course is charged with having reduced its income last year. resulting with other causes in deficit of $13S,- 000---its first fall behind In 15 years. The quarrel Is between leaders in who clamor for local con tTol of their own. work. and certain other leaders who think national ad- able to see the whole field at once. to be most. The home board has issued public statement to the enect that 1t wishes only to carry out the will of the Presbyterian church.

TO RAISE STANDARD OF
 ITALIAN PRIESTS IN II. S.

Cardinal Farley of New York, un- der whom are more Italians than in any city in Italy save Naples only, has labored for years to bring in bet ter conditions in Catholic oversight of Italians emigrating to this country Backed by others, he has now suc- ceeded in getting the Vatican to de- cree that Italian priests shall be care fully examined in Italy before being permitted to leave for the United States or to other countries to which large numbers of Catholic Italians have emigrated. The purpose is to raise the standard of priests who are to care for Italian Catholics.
 Vast numbers of Italians have gone 10 Brazil the number being put at 3.0OO,O 900, and almost as many have gone to France. Italy has. indeed taken the place of Germany as the European nation sending out largest numbers if emigrants. South Africa has million and half and even Aus tralia 100000. Training schools are to be established in Italy under di- rect supervision of the Vatican for such priests as are truly missionary and who purpose to go to foreign fields. Adventures are to be singled out and kept at home.
 A further part of the plan, suggested also by Cardinal Farley. and 10 at tend 10 Whlch IS part of his present purpose in Rome, is the securing of Italian leaders for the training of Italian young men already in America to lead spiritually Italian congregations here. The cardinal, in common with others. regards the prob- lem of shepherding Italians as of su- preme importance, so tremendous is the loss to the church, especially of the young. Pope Plus X has just issued the needed decrees to put these changes into effect.
