District Supervision.


District superintendents held an in
teresting meeting in the Sunday
school room Of the First Methodist

GERS asfollows: President, ]. c. Tim
herman, of Adamston; vice president,
D. A. Ward, Of Harrington; secre-
tary- treasurer, H. K. Barbe, of Welsh.
A motion to form a permanent organ
ization was carried and the above Off
GERS named. Each superintendent be-
comes a member by the payment of a
fee of one dollar. A resolution was
passed whereby letters will be sent
to the state superintendent of schools
requesting his opinion as to when and
where the organization may hold its
next meeting. The state superintend-
ent will be asked to send out cir
cular letter 10 the superintendent
throughout the state asking their CO.
operation in this matter.
On entering this sectional meeting
one was impressed with the lack of
women present but a glance at the
program showed that this was the
meeting Of the district superinteRd-
ents which is an appointive office and
usually held down by the men. There
we're, however, two women present and
they are really superintendent of
their districts and doing most effec-
tive work. These two women are Mrs.
z. l. Jones, superintendent OF Richie
district, Ohio county, and resident
Of Wheeling. Mrs. Jones had held this
position for nine years. She is also
state vice president for West Virginia
if the Women's Council of Admins
trative Women in Education. She is
a graduate of Bethany college with the
A. B. degree as well as that of Bache-
lor of Science and Education.

"Mr. Burton will also be responsible
for engaging the crews of both boats,
and, in fact, ne will be In entire charge
OF the whole Of the trials and the &C.

Oregon Minister Succeeds In
Breaking Coast Record.
Rev. Mr.. spearow, Member Of Multi
nomah Athletic Club, 10 Aii.Round
Athlete-Hiah and Broad
Jumps His S~peeialties.

A minister OF the Gospel broke the
Pacific coast record In the pole vault,
and Is considered n promising candi-
date for the worlds record.
He Is Rev. Ralph A. Spearow. pas
tor Of a Unitarian church in Portland.
and member Of the Multnomah Athlet-
ic club.
Sunday finds Rev. Mr.. Spearow de-
livering sermons TO large-siZed con-
gregations, in which young men and
boys are conspicuously present. He is
adored by the youth OF Portland, who
regard him as an athlete who breaches
ION the side" not as a preacher with
an athletic bent.
Monday finds the young minister out
on the athletic field keeping up his
training. He is an all-round star, with
special ability at the high jump and
broad jump as we'll as the pole vault,
and Is also an excellent Splinter.
Rev. Mr.. Spearow's coast record was
made recently in a track meet held nj
Tacoma. He scared over the bar at
the dizzying height Of Is feet and 3-S
inches, the first time any coast vaulter
had eve exceeded IL feet. The former
record was held by Sam Bellah, Of
Stanford university.
The worlds record stands at Is feet
az inches.
Rev. Mr.. Spearow at the Tacoma
meet won the high jump at C feet 2
inches, which Is some jump, and did %
feet and one-half inch In the broad.
Rev. Mr.. Spearow frankly attributes
his success, not to coaching, but
prayer. He has been In the
hands Of an expert coach, but worked
out his w methods entirely. Prayer.
he says. carries him over the bar.
