was noticeable political improve

The premier also turned his attep-

fighting forces cease all political DIS

commanders was also ordered stop

Resume the transportation of
troops was Kcrensky's order in
pointing out that the Korniloff revolt
has disorganized operations. and that
an immediate return to organization
and discipline was necessary.
PUBLIC DEMANDS DEATH
The public demands korniloffs
death. Some of the cabinet. holding
the revolt was entirely bloodless and
ascribing only patriotic. but misguided
motives to Kornloff, want to spare
him.
KorniIoff himself is Russias fore
most advocate of capital punishment

solve them triumphantly.
The summer session of the. Bible
school has always been a big diff
Guilty. While the attendance has nat
urally decreased owing to the absence
OF SO many children from the city, the
regular program has been continued
for those who remained and 1t has
been well worth while to do so. 8
At the same time this has entailed
q disproportionate effort upon the Of
ficers and teachers who have served
50 faithfully throughout the winter.
Consequently the new plan for the
summer months seems likely to meet
with favor from all concerned.
The idea is to begin the session of
the school at 10 O'Clock, all the sun
beam and primary children meeting
in the parish house for brief opening
exercises, while the older departments
of the school are holding simultaneous
exercises in the Bible school rooms.

ed for them in the Bible school room
and the entire school listens to the
Bible story of the day.
This simplifies the problem Of teach

and it Is believed that better results

Glenn e. Jackson is superintendent
Of the summer session and Theodore
