has sprinkled our locks with silver
gray and we fail to see many of the
comrades who were with US year
ago." He referred with gratitude to
the Woman's Relief Corps and the
money it has contributed to the work
of the Grand Army. He spoke of
the pleasure he had in attending the
reunion of the county associations
and of the Vermont Veterans as
sociation in Boston, and the Mas
sachusetts state encampment. He
told of the last national encampment
at Chattanooga and of the observance
of Memorial Day. The quartermaster

HAS INCREASED TUITION
st. dOhnsbury Academy Will Charge
$50 Per Pupil-COsts $76.OS
Per puDil


Beginning with the next school
year the tuition per pupil at St.
Johnsbury Academy will be $50 per
year. This change is made neces-
sary because the expense per pupil
for the past four years has been
$76.0S per pupil aud the town has
been paying only $40 for it, This
balance of $30.0S has been met with
the income from the endowment fund
of the academy but now the increased
demands on this income for larger
teaching force, new vocational de-
partments and other improvements
take so much of the endowment in
come that the patrons of the school
must bear more Of the total expense.
Printed notices of the increase

Committee of the Board of Trustees
have been distributed to the residents
of the town.
No official notice of the change
has been given the school directors as
yet but when it is given they will
report to the selectmen and they
doubtless will call a special town
meeting to see what action the
voters will take. There are only two
things that can be done, pay what
the Academy asks or the town es-
tablish a high school of its own for
the town pupils.

Bird Life and Lighthouses

For years the grevous destruction of bird life at lighthouses was supposed to be unavoidable and caused by the birds directly striking the lantern and being f~afmed or stunned by the impact, but Prof. sJ.iP, Thi5sse holds that most are only attracted to the light and that they circle about 1t for hours, until exhausted they fall and perish. says the Sphere. Possibly the light may confuse and trou- ble their sense of direction. or even de- Jude them into the belief that morning has arrived and with it the end of their journey. He accordingly devised resting places to be fitted on the lantern itself without interfering with its illuminating power for the birds to perch on, and his experiments have been on trial for three years at the.

Rishnns IIpder Fire

The Episcopal church bishops are just new targets fer severe attacks. Both take the low church side and the attacks come from the high church one. Bishop LaSiersSe of Massachusetts advises in his .nfficial address to his diocesan con yepticn in May that Episcopal churches in This Jurisdiction admit to the holy com munion persons of other Christian faiths He argued that common prayer book law. seeming to forbid such course, really has a different meaning, and gave historic ds ta to priye his contention. He said such has been the rule in Massachusetts from earliest times.
 Bishop Rhinelander of Pennsylvania, CO., operating with some Philadelphia rectors gave permission for Presbyterian and other ministers to speak from an Epis- copal pulpit. The reasons put forward were desire to try out church unity. the a leader in that movement, and the con viction that the ministers directly af- fected have Christian messages to deliver which local Philadelphia conditions stand in need of.

 Committee Is Named

New York. July n-(Special. )-The cen tral conference of Jewish rabbis, just holding it's annual meeting in Detroit. took vigorous action to overcome, if possible, prejudice of Christians and many others against the Jews as a people, and against their religion It authorized the issue, by a special committee, of literature to counteract misrepresentation, but it went farther and demanded the prosecution of organizations, of newspapers and in- dividuals declared to be guilty of these things The most important decision 1t made, from Jewish point of view, was to cooperate hereafter with all Jewish congregations, the cooperation to ex- tend not to the conference alone, but to all national Jewish organizations
 This conference is the most representa- tive of all American Jewish bodies. In tive rabbis It is the judgment of re- form leader who was present that this meeting showed Jews to be waking up to modern methods of work and to work itself as not heretofore. and that there Is much more favorab ble feeling toward each other than formerly. This reform leader is authority for the statement that the Orthodox and conservatives, now in separate branches, are both becoming Americanized and both holding more friendly sentiments toward reform. It is likely the next netting will be held in Boston a year hence.
 The meeting just held favored the pro- hibition movement, authorized further work on the Jewish prayer book, without changing Jewish doctrine, condemned cer- tain rabbis who give divorces without court records, favored uniform marriage and divorce laws, named a special com mittee to study social justice, the mini mum wage and compulsory arbitration, voted to publish uniform literature includ- ing the Old Testament, and agreed upon uniform textbooks for the young. to Ne used In all religious schools Abouts'100 rabbs attended, representing all schools i1 largest numbers of any meeting thus far held. ,s'

 In common with many others, Presby- terian boards fell heavily into debt last year. The foreign mission board fell be- hind the unprecedented sum of $292, ,0O0, and the home board $13S.000. Explana- tions for the slump have been many and various. New united efforts are to be started to secure $450.000, without inter- fering with regular gifts. It is stated that many contributions have come in since the official announcement of the deficits. and it Is predicted that by the end of this year at the very latest the nearly half-million dollars will be on hand. The additional sum asked is to wipe out some debts of the smaller boards.

Heresy Controversies Rage

Midsummer activity in Presbyterian heresy controversies is great. To push the conservative sides. rumors or new newspaper ventures are heard and men formerly taking no part have come out into the open. The general assembly committee, appointed to find out if Union Theological seminary Is entitledo tv all of its endowments or not, on the ground that it teaches one theol- ogy when it received money to teach another, declares that it will finish. it's task this year and give up part of its summer vacation to do it. Its chair rlan, the Rev. Dr. John F. Carson is writing vigorously on the conserva- tive side.
 The thing that precipitated the sum mer activity was the bequest of the late Mrs. Morris K. Jesup of New York to Union Seminary of s30,000 on condi- ton that 1t teach the Bible in its plain English version, minus higher criticism. Conservatives are saying that this con- dition well represents the mind of the great body of American Presbyterians and they are watching to see what Enion will do. Some say it cannot ac- cept the money. others that it will accept it and go on as it has been do- ing. The late Morris K. Jeusp was a liberal benefactor of Union, and it Is over part of his gifts to 1t, but not all. that the general assembly investi- gating committee Is concerning itself
 This summer controversy Is aroused to the point of charging in print and otherwise that Union seminary is re- ceiving money under false pretenses, and that it stands ready to accept the Jesup $300.000 in the, same way. Pres beterian weeklies in Philadelphia and Cincinnati are carrying this controver- eial matter by the page.
