Reports From Boards
Reports were received from the Penn
sylvania Scamen's Friend Society and
the deaconess's board.
The Rev. DIR. Il. G. Griffiths, re-
porting for the latter, praised the work
which had been done among the poor
during the last year by the twelve dea-
Concsses stationed here. The Rev. Vir-
gil Il. Rorer, the Rev. G. II. Adamson
and Mrs. g. w. Buckley were named
again to serve on the board.
Mrs. Seymour Eaton, telling Of the
work done by the deaconesses, said their
work among the poor had shown prac-
tical results in $4,000 saved by poor
people who had been taught thrift by the
deaconcsses.

In addition, he offered to contribute

wonderful proposition.
But the generous offer did not ap-

still further heightened by placing the
revised school system in hands other
than those Of the old local school
boards.

The Rev. DIR. Tomlinson, during the
discussion OF the general proposition to
raise salaries, told of college profcs
sor he knew who had earned $4,000 a
year teaching and gave it up to enter
the ministry at $1,000. The Rev. Ben
iamin La Pish related his own expert
ence in this regard. Ho said he had
worked in foundry before he became
minister, and lately received an offer
to go back to his old job at $40 q week.
Bishop Berry announced that the
Rev. Harry II. Zeiders had Withdrawn
from the conference. Doctor Buckley
supplemented this announcement that
Mr.. Xeiders wished to enter the folds
of another faith.
The retirement of the Rev. Abncr +.
Dottcrer, 145 West School lane, also
was announced.
The Rev. r.. r.. Mutchler, secretary
of the Philadelphia Sabbath Associa T.
tion, was given permission to address
the conference and urged the ministers
to keep Pennsylvania the banner state
in Sunday observance" He claimed
that motion picture interests had rails

"movies," and had promised various
concessions to church people If per-
mission were granted.
DIR. Miller Makes Appeal
. DIR. Sarah r. Miller. secretary Of the
Allied Teachers Association. was per
mitted to address the conference and
urged the ministers to support the
teachers in their efforts to get higher
pay.
She gave out a auestionnaire, asking
the ministers to fill il in and send it to
the Board of Education. On It they
expressed themselves as for, or against,
higher salaries for teachers, a ten mill
tax, and larger allotment from the
state Legislature.
She said that at present there has
been 50 great falling off in pupils at

the normal schools that In short time
there will be no new teachers to keep
the ranks full. "Why spend 10000, :
600 on new school buildings" asked
DR.. Miller, "when there are no teach =
ers for them?"
BY maintaining the celebrity and har-
mony that have marked the confer =

ed among the early arrivals today that

Earlier rumors that the Rev. DR..
Charles w. Straw has been marked for
removal have been dissipated. Petty
politics, unjust in its reference TO Doc :
tor Straw. is said to have inspired the
report. The work of the North district,
which is Doctor Straw's charge. showed
it to be one Of the most active in the
conference, both in membership gain
and in increased bcnevolences.
A movement is on foot, although
likely to await action at n later confer
ence, to pay the travelling and enter :
tainment expenses of delegates out Of
conference funds. This plan has been
adopted by other conferences with sat
isfactory results, it is said. and the
condition of Philadelphia Conference
financially is believed TO warrant its
employment here.
