STANDARDIZATION OF
 HISTORICAL STUDIES
Recommended at Meeting of Ameri-
 can Historical Association.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Dec. 2T-Pupils from secondary schools are deficient In their knowledge of history and his tory text books fail of their purpose, according to expressions of opinion today by a score of professors of hs- tory from American universities and colleges at a conference in connection with the American Historical Associa- tion in session here.
 Among the colleges and universities a general tendency exists to ignore said Professor Arley B. Show, Leland Stanford Jr. University. chairman of the conference.
 History courses, he said, must be adjusted to the needs of pupils who now find a complete and startling lack of uniformity in the pursuance of their students.
 Professor Show advocated 2 stand ardiZation of historical studies. or at least a uniformity in their teaching.
 Representatives from leading uni Tersinties in America formulated an organization to be known as the uni Versity center for higher studies in Washington.
 According to the provisions of the constitution adopted, a residence and center of study for students in North and South America will be provided where access to the large resources of documentary history in the ar archives, collections. museums and li- braries of the government may be available.
 Universities and colleges contribute ing to the support of the center will organize a counsel, governing board and advisory committee.

DECISION AGAINST CATHOLIC
 MUTUAL BENEFIT ASSOCIATION
Supreme Court of New York State Disapproves Reorganization Plan.

Buffalo N. T., Dec 27-Justice Dudley in supreme court here today decided against the plan for the re- organization of the Catholic Mutual Benefit Association under which the reserve fund of the organization was to have been divided into two parts It was proposed that the organization be divided into two classes, one com posed of men who had joined prior to 1904, the others of those who had joined after that date. Division of the reserve fund proportionate to the number of men in the two classes was proposed after actuaries had re- ported that the organization was not on sustaining basis. It was plan ned that the rates in the se.ond class should be revised on d scientific basis. The old members would pay the same rates as long as the reserve fund proved adequate to meet the claims. If it failed. extra assessments might be imposed. The old men ob- Jected to this plan and secured a tenn porary injunction which was today continued.
 Justice Dudley did not discuss the right of the organization to form two classes of membership, but held that the reserve fund must not he divided The case, which affects members of the organization all over the country, will be appealed, attorneys for the c. M. B. A. announced. The re-classi- fication was to have gone into effect on January l.
