EPISCOPAL CHURCH RENISES THE
TEN COMMANDMENTS.

The forthcoming general convention or
the Protestant Episcopal Church viii have
before it proposal emanating from a
commission of bishops, clergy and lay
men to alter the form of the 10 command
ments as they are now printed In the
catechisn, and the communion office, The
commission reports in favor of shorten
ing rho commandments by the omission
Of tho ti,ne honoreG reasons for then OBJ
servance The proposed change will affect
tba first five commandments so that they
win read a. follows;
/ Thou shalt have none other Gods
hut me
- Thou shalt not make to thyselt any
craven image. nor the likeness Of any
thing that is in heaven above or III the
earth beneath. or in the water under the
earth; thou shalt not DO" down to them
nor worship them
g. Thou shalt not 'ahe the name OF the
Lord thy God in VAIN
T. Remember that thou Keep holy the
Sabbath day.
!. Honor thy father ana thy mother.
The commission has recommended these
changes for the reason mat the arSu-
ments for the Observance OF these divine
laws are not parts OF the commandments
themselves; they we're peculiar to the
national life of the Israeites' and changed
conditions have robbed the arguments of
much of their weight
The proposal is not so radical as it
or,,oor, an the surface, The 10 command
mcn,s were printed in this shortened form
in the first PRAYER book of the Anglican
church published in 1919, and also in the
,,r,,o. hook used in the Episcopal Church
of scotland to-day

situations Open ns UsunI.

The University of Vermont, Middle
bury College and Norwich University
Will open on the dates announced.
President John NJ. Thomas of Middle
bury said over the phone sunday nigh
that each student entering or returning
to college would be required 10 show a
certificate from reputable physician,
saying that the student had not had
infantilc paralysis nor been immedi-
atcly associated with any one who had
had it. That is about the only new
fact in the poliomyelitis situation in
Vermont.
President Guy Potter Bonton of the
state university told those assembled
at a conference of New England col
lcgc presidents, held early Saturday
afternoon at the Kimball hotel in
Springfield, Mass, that he would defer
to the Vermont State board of health
in the matter. DR.. Benton talked with
Chairman CaVcrly of Rutland, who
agreed with him that. inasmuch as the
public schools would open on the 18th,
it would be all right for the university
to open the eth, as arranged. DIR.
+. T. Kidder. a member of the board
of trustees and of the health board,
also agreed. as did Or. G. T.. Dalton.
secretary Of the health board
DR.. Thomas said the board of trus-
tees of Middle bury came to it's decision
after consulting with the local board
of health and the State board. Dean
II. r. Wright of Norwich University
said Norwich had made no change so
far in its plans to open the 18th.
The conference in Springfield lasted
two or three hours. Among those who
attended it were President Benton, the
only Ncrmonter there; Presidents Gar
field Of Williams, Meiklejohn Of Am
/ herst, Buttcrfcld of Massachusetts
State Agricultural. Hopkins of Dart
mouth. Prof. Frank Nicholson, score
/ tary Of the New England college en-
! trance certificate board, and DR.. Conn
of the Connecticut State board of
/ health President Garfield announced
/ that Williams would not open until
! October 10, He said the local board
of health of Williamstown had author
ity to keep students from entering the
town, which was enough. The state
board of health of Massachusetts was
appealed to, but later the college trus-
tees decided to obey the bchcst of the
local health board. Amhcrsts presi-
dent. Or. Meiklcjohn, said that since
Williams would not open and the state
health board took the position it did.
! Amherst would not reopen until OC-
tober 10. President Ruttcrfcld of the
Massachusetts state Agricultural COL
lege said its opening would be post
poned one week. Mount Holyokc and
Smith colleges also viii delay their
openings. Yale's opening. according to
Dr. Conn, Will not be postponed. Pres
ident Hopkins of Dartmouth said the
Inauguration of the new president of
that institution was set for October g.
and it would be a serious matter to
change the date of opening. 1t would
remain unchanged.
