Intense interest is felt by Catholics of

DEMONSTRATIONS OF THE
NENIPI DYED DO No GOnD

DEMONSTRATIONS OF THE
UNEMPLOYED DO NO GOOD
The attitude Of social service leaders in
Episcopal, Presbyterian, Methodist and 9TH
er bodies, toward men out Of work and max
ing demonstrations in churches while ser
vices are in progress seems to be that while
the churches are DESTROYS OF assisting men
to employment. they are hindered in that
task and not helped by these demonstrations.
The charge is made by church leaders that
leaders Of unemployed, or such Of them as
visit the churches, seek notoriety and not
work, and that they are taking advantage
of labor conditions to further their own am
billions.
in number of cities unemployed men by
the hundreds are visiting churches, inter
rupdng public worship and demanding
money for food and lodging. In most cases
they have been refused, but a few churches
have opened their doors, provided food, and

METHODIST CHURCH SOUTH
THINK NAME MIS-


The Methodist Episcopal church south has
Joined the ranks Of the Protestant Episcopal
church Of the whole country in wanting to
change its name. Many Methodists declare
their church not to be southa and therefore,
its name 70 be a misnomer. 1t has churches
in the north, in the northwest, and on the
Pacific coast. The question is one Of several
to come up at the general conference q
Quadrennial body, which meets this May in
Oklahoma City. The impression prevails
that the change of name project viii be
beaten this year. but that by 1913 1t viii
carry, and become the Methodist Episcopal
church. -ofezs reerica- which seems 10 be the
name most favored
Another question, in the minds Of good
many MethOdists Of the south at least. is
whether the general conference does or does
not control Vanderbilt university. The trOu-
BILE grows out Of the Carnegie pension mat
ter in part, and has long agitated educa-
tional circles of the south. In a slightly diff
ferent form. il is the old matter of whether
it shall be general educational institution,
or be tied up to an official religious body
For some years the matter Of union of the
two great Methodist bodies north and south
has been discussed. and conferences Of com
mittees have met several times. It is stated
that at this time. after ali Of the committee
meetings. the project is dead beyond any
resurrection. 1t viii not come up in any
form at the approaching general conference.

one Of the principal efforts, Miss
French explained. viii be TO have the
economies courses in the schools stand

been regarded as a sort of tad in the
schools. But now that colleges are de-
voting more and more attention 10

as it also is called, it is time that
school courses were so standardized

Shuold Include Adults.
Work for dress reform. in Miss
French's opinion, should include adults
as well as school girls. Also the re-
form for more conservative dress
should extend to an effort for more con-
servatiyc dances. she said.
Schoolgirls of this day, and espe-
cially high school girls, dress in eX-
treme styles. Some of these eXag-
gerations are immoral. in bad taste,
and are far from artistic. But this
abuse is not limited to schoolgirls,
and the reform should begin with
women themselves. our clubwomen
can exert a tremendous influence in
this field.
I realize 1 am taking issue. seem
ingly with some OF our federated
clubwomen who have Endorsed mod
ern dancing and modern dressing.
But / imagine by that Endorsement
they referred to some general trend
in styles and referred to the more
conservative creations of modern
styles
] believe. too, We need not be pes
simistic about either our dances or
our dresses. These matters, by a
natural reaction. will adjust them
selves, just as the craze for bridge
playing among women for high
stakes will adjust itself.
Perfectly absurd" was Miss French's
Characterization of the movement for
uniforms for schoolgirls. She, does not
believe such n movement is practicable.
or that the idea will be received with
wide favor.
Urged Vestibuled Cars.
There is no reason for discouras-
ment in the seemingly slow develop
ment of the teachers pension idea
Miss French was leader Of the move
ment for vestibUled cars in Washing
ton. She explained:
II took us four years to get those
cars. II may take many more years
to get teachers pensions. and in the
meantime workers should not be DIS
couraged. Such a far-reaChing re-
form requires hard and prolonged
effort.
Moderation in athletics should be
preached to boys at the same time con-
sentative dress and dancing is preached
TO girls. in Miss French's opinion She
asserted the federation heartily Endorsed
the movements for both school play
grounds and for school gardens. She
said:
But in our efforts to develop
school athletics and school play
grounds. VIC should take lesson
from the colleges and universities
School Fairgrounds should cncour-
ego a wider participation in sports.
