Advocate Elimination of
damn" From Prayer Book
Harsh and Has Bad influence

New York. Sept. 25.-Elimination
of the word damn" from the Episco-
pal prayer book and the substitution
of the word condemn" is recon-
mended by the commission on revision
of the prayer book in a report to be
submitted to the triennial convention
of the Protestant Episcopal Church
at st. Louis next month.
1t is proposed to change the dis
approved word in parts of the Scrip
ture when ii Is quoted in the liturgical
services The commission argues that
condemn" is a more correct trans
lation of the Greek word. The COM
missioners suggest that damn" is
harsh, interferes with the beauty of
the service and that its use in church
has a bad influence on the young.

peace in northern Mexico and that re-
lations between the two countries
would be greatly improved by the
withdrawal of the American forces

study of Mexico's internal affairs, ad-
herring to their position that any agree
ment entered into must be so broad as
to make reasonably certain the safety
of American life and property through
out Mexico.

School Board Approves System Devised by Special Committee

The March meeting of the school board yesterday afternoon was brief,
 ss there was little but routine busi-
 ness to come before it. The finance committee reported, recommending the payment of bills totaling S6,- S32.64. l.. H. Pease said the com nittee had been forced to exceed it's authority In two matters involving the spending of more than $100. Coal was needed at the Vocational High school and he had a car transferred there and recently the heating ap- paratus gave out at the open air school. An emergency job was neces- sary and the contract for a new heater at a cost of $170 was let to Libby x Blinn. The board ratified the action of the committee MT. Pease also reported that plaster in Rooms 16 and 31 at the old High school had been ruined by a leak which occurred during the midwinter vacation. They obtained bids from T. w. Grove, one of $150 for new plaster the other for $6O for repairs The committee favored replastering and was authorized to let the contract at that figure.
 The report of the teachers commit tee, which appeared in yesterdays Herald, was read and approved Chairman Gaffney explained that Miss Ella Connor, one of the new teachers, has had seventeen years experience teaching in Broadbrook. Her salary Is to be $65o. The other teacher, Miss Helen Davenport, receives s550.

 Detroit Convention.
 Superintendent Holmes reported briefly on his trip to Detroit last month, where he attended the na~ tonal convention of school superin, tendents held in connection with the annual convention of the National Educational association. He found the experience profitable although it was not the easiest week of the year. The great topics of the convention were the problems of school survey Ways were discussed as to how it is possible to estimate the value of school work and put 1t on a more scientific basis. Regarding the sub- ject of the Junior High school which corresponds to the prevoca- tional grammar school various opinions were expressed.
 Conservative opinion holds to the theory that it is undemocratic and that it is not possible or right to seek 10 determine for pupils of grammar school age what vocation they shall follow in lfe The other opinion held is quite opposite, those who favor the new idea in education, maintaining that it is democratic and that difference in power and ability should be recognized and an oppor- tunity given the pupil to develop his powers. Detroit is apparently be- hind in trade training. There are few schools of this character and those in operation follow set problems rather than work that is created out of a distinct need. Owing to the rapid
