Church Anim0sity
Passing Away +.
Declares Bishop

Columbus. o.. Dec. 13-"Much of
sectarian luminosity among the
churches has passed away; the
Protestant churches are Cooperate
ing rather than competing" de-
olared Bishop Thomas Nicholson
of the Methodist Episcopal church
OF Chicago, speaking today at
the annual meeting of the execu-
tive committee of the Federal Coun-
Gil Of churches on what the Denom-
nations Should Expect the Federal
Council to Do for Them" At the
same time he said ne did not ad-
vocate the abolition of denomina-
tions, but believed in greater cooper
alton. Bishop Nicholson said in
part:
THE denominations expect the
Federal Council to promote the
spirit OF cooperating among them.
There is great need for a solidarity
Of Professionalism which shall be as
great as the solidarity of Roman
Catholicism, but which shall center
around the loyal and carefully
thought out allegiance of the respec-
tive bodies to great central ideas and
movements. This can only be brought
about by mutual intercourse, by dis
eussion and by conference. The Fed
eral, Council should be the ceordinat-
ing and informing instrument. Moth
ing is moras significant than the
increased cod era ton il the Protest
ant denominations manifested in re-
cent years. They are working to-
gether in many admirable ways. They
are speaking as one voice on great

France Prestige
Higher Placed
Than 1924 Victory

Paris. Nov. % CA. p. MaiD-The
French Olympic Committee. directors
of sporting declarations, clubs and
close followers of athletics in France
in general are bending every effort
toward making a creditable showing
at the 1924 Olympic Games but are
under no misapprehension as to the
prospects of French athletes winning
the games. While not unduly
pessimistic they readily admit that
France will not finish first, but find
solace in the thought that the
Olympic Games are the greatest
manifestation of international sports
in existence and that the vanquished
do not necessarily emerge from them
with a loss of prestige.
"While we would much rather win
the Olympic games than finish among
the also rams" said Frartz Reichel,
general secretary of the French Com
mittee, 1--WE feel that great benefit
will be derived for athletics in France
by the mere presence and participa-
ton in all branches of sport. of the
1000 or 5000 athletes-the. best in
their lines of endeavor in So coun-
tries. There is one thing,a however,
that we may win and that is the
ackno of all interested
that the 1924 Olympic Games were
the best organized since their revival.
This we will try to do"
In the winter sports which are to
be held at Chamonix from January
20 to February s. the opinion was
general that France would only place
behind the Canadians, Scandinavians
and Americans, in hockey, Skiing,

outclassed in speed skating and only
hold out the hope of getting points

Court Sustains Act
Which Was Passed by

Little Rock, Jan. 23.-County Su-
perintendents of education are county
officials and have general supervision
of schools in cities and town as to the
establishing of uniform grades, etc,
according to a decision rendered yes
terday by the Arkansas Supreme
Court, which also ruled that incorpo-
rated cities and towns must contribute
to the support of county Boards of
Educa ton The decision is the first of
its kind, according to Attorney Gen
eral Utley, and VIII affect cases pend
ing in Crawford, Fulton and other
counties The case reviewed by the
Supreme Court was that of Little
River County Board of Education VS..
Ashdown Special School District
The act creating county boards of
education and providing for the elec-
tiOn by such boards of county super
intendents, who shall have general
supervision over all schools in the
counties, except those schoils in in
corporated cities and towns that have
superintendents devoting their time to
school supervision, was passed by the
1919 legislature. In constituting the
act, the Chancery Court held that
since the schools in Ashdown and
other incorporated towns were ex-
cluded from the jurisdiction of the
county superintendent, such schools
should not be charged with any of
the expenses of this work.
The findings of the Chancery Court
that the town of Ashdown came with
in the exception in the statute was
held to be correct, but the Supreme
Court said that it did not follow that
the act is void because a part of the
salary of the county superintendent
is paid out of the funds which would
go to the common schools in such
