County School Notes.

The Northwest Missouri State
Teachers College is sending out ia
each teacher in Holt county a ques.
ionnaire to lee filed out. The sup
erintendss1t urges every teacher in the
county to fill out her QUESTIONABLE al
the earliest possible moment and ~.
turn to President Richardson. This is
being done IN the interest Of the rural
school children of our beloved state.
Let Va all do every thing We possibly
can TO advance the educational oppor-
tunitics of our children.
The superintendent spent the past
week in the Corning, Craig and Bige-
low schools. There are thirteen pu-
pills in the Corning high school: i've
freshmen and eight sophomoes. The
teacher Of the intermediate room,
Miss Katherine Norris, has been un.
able TO be in the school room since
Christmas. We were sorry indeed to
he told that she had been suffering
from smallpox, and has been under
quarantine ior some time. Her place
has boon filled IN the school by Evan
bankers. No other cases have 80 far
been reported, and II Is hoped that her
case Of this dread disease may be an
isolated one. The doctor says that IL
will be the matter Of only few days
now until Miss Norris will be ready
for the school room again.
In the Craig school, the superinten-
dent spent the day in the three lower
rooms. The Craig school seems TO
have a specially strong faculty this
year, and the children are all doing
good work. The little god Of love, Gu
pid, not being satisfied with carrying
off members Of the Mound City and
Maitland faculties, must needs pay 81
visit 10 the Craig high school faculty
with the result that Miss Kathryn

hot lunch Is great success IN this
school. On Friday the menu consisted
Of hash, generous bOwlful for each

was delicious. II was prepared By

ncls, therefore, the Standing Committee
of Delaware (Which il the ecclesiastical
authority OF the diocese during vacancy
in the cpisopate) addressed an invitation
To the Standing Committee Of Easton,
through the Rt. Rev. J. G. Murray, Bishop
of Maryland and president of the Province
of Washington, asking them to meet with
our Standing Committee, along with
Bishop Murray and Bishop Gailor, who is
president Of the Executive Council OF the
whole church, and Chancellor Curtis OF
Delaware and Chancellor Pearce OF
Easton, for full and frank consideration
of all arguments for and against a merger
of the two dioceses, and an examination
of the apparent obstacles there might be
to such union. In this way we hoped to
reach the basis for sound judgment on
the subject, in order that the matter might
either be dismissed altogether as un-
advisable or impractlcable, or else pro-
posed in such form as to enable the TWO
diocesan conventions to deal with ~
definitely and intelligently.
''The invitation from Delaware was
duly forwarded by Bishop Murray to the
Standing Committee of Easton, and was by
them promptly and emphatically Declined
"Any action taken by the Easton con-
Nentlbu NcSttIuaN ltthoh INV w." ~ '''N
nature of reconsideration. The Standing
Committee of Delaware has had no official
notice of such action as yet. What they
will do with it if it comes 1T IS Impossible
for me to predict but there Is every dis
position on our part to give serious con-
sidcration to q subject which seems OF
genuine importance to the general church.
!'Delawarc is to hold another election
on May IL, and it is altogether unlikely
that anything can bc accomplished IN the
above matter prior to that date. There IL
pronounced difference of opinion among
the church people of both dioceses. For
Delaware it would involve sacrifices which
would never be proposed in the face of an
obvious reluctance in the diocese OF Eas-
ton to consider the question on its merits.
Easton is hampered in the matter by the
existence of Cathedral System" which
many think involves the necessity of
Easton as "See City" Some have pro-
posed keeping the two diocese indepen-
dent but electing one bishop to serve
them both. Such plan is fraught with
nsuperable objections. and would not
be seriously considered as practicable
There is really nothing more TO be
said until the Easton reconsideration
has officially reached US, and our Standing
Committee has acted upon It,
