CHURCH SCHOOLS
 ELATE MINISTER'S
Pastors Express Pleasure at
 Success Of Movement
UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED
Attendance Everywhere Gratifying and Interest Is High - Uniform Dismissal Hour to Re Arranged Salvation Army Overlooked,

The movement which released children one hour week from the
 public school for the purpose of
 weekday religious instruction is the biggest thing that has struck New
 Britain for a long time" said Dr, George ". C. Hill at the June meet ing of the Protestant Ministers as- sociaton yesterday afternoon at the I. ". (. A. Tt has resulted in pro- ducing a splendid spirit of coopera- ton among the church and we have made the words church school mean something. Il has done a great deal 10 increase the spirit Of GodIincss throughout the community"
 The theme for discussion al the meeting was the first years eN, perience with weekday church schools, All Of the ministers attend. ing reported success in the school conducted in their churches, The best teachers, according to them, are married women who have had day school experience and training. The discipline has been good throughout the school. With be- tween 200 and 800 children m classes at the South church. t is reported that one moving about in the build- ing would hardly know that q single child was there. The spirit of inc pupils has been very good through out the church schools in the Pro- tostant churches Of the city.
 There have been few withdrawals from the weekday church schools by the parents Most Of those who have withdrawn, besides those moving from the city, have done so because of conflict in the yoca- tional department of the Junior high schools, This vocational work coin cidos in time with the weekday church school and some parents and children prefer 10 remain in public school for the vocational work rather than attend the church school for religious education. The association regrets very much that the public school authorities have not changed their schedule to avoid such q con- 1iict. They recommend that all of the public school children be placed on the same basis of dismissal.
 The attendance has been very high and gratifying in all the schools. The ministers uniformly set the figure between On and 95 per Ncnt

Children Not in Church Home Schools

One Of the difficulties discovered this year from the standpoint of the churches is that some children who belong to one church enroll in inc church school conducted by another church because the child's playmate is enrolled in the latter school. This causes trouble because church rela- tons are on a family basis. The ministers decided that any case Of this sort in the future would be dealt with by notifying the pastor Of the ehurch 10 which the children's par entS belonged and refusing to allow the children 10 enroll in the school conducted by another church.

 Washington, June Is LP--Secre- tary Melons opinion on the equal ization fee plan of farm relief, now pending before tho senate in the McNary bill brought a sharp retort today from Representative Diclin- son, republican, Iowa.
 At last the administration is out in the open," he said in q statement given to The Associated Press. When the statement of Secretary Mellon is stripped of all spacious preteXts, it means that the interests for whom he speaks are not willing that a protective system shall mean anything for the American farmer"
 Sccretary's Opinion
 The secrctary's opinion held that the proposal is economically un- sound and unworkahle. would pro vide no permanent benefit for Amori- can farmers. would "subsidize" foreign competitors and would increase the cost of farm pro ducts 10 American consumers.

which was recommended by the Navy
Department at the last session OF
Congress. The general opinion IS
held, however. that nothing OF any
practical Importance can be Sleaneu
from the Navy personnel legislation
for the utilization in a beneficial way
OF Army promotion. The naval per-
sonnel proposal contempiateS a SyS
tenn Of complete elimination for junior
officers not selected for retention. with
provision for a separation gratuity; a
means of transfer to a reserve list Tor
others after certain number Of
years. and the familiar retirement
based on service in grade instead OF
age in grade, now applicable TO cap
tains, commanders and lieutenant
commanders, corresponding TO COLO
nels, lieutenant colonels and majors
in the military establishment. In the
naval personnel proposal selection Tor
promotion, to all practical ENDS. IS eX-
tended to HcutenantS OF the JUNIOR
grade. which corresponds to first lieu
tenants in the Army. 1t can be safely
said that the suggestions for remedy
ing the naval personnel inequalities
will not find favor with the members
of the military personnel, due TO the
variety of sources from which Army
officers are derived and the widely
differing periods of service among in
dividuals and groups.
TO solve this perplexing Army pro-
motion tangle will require a thorough
study to ascertain by what methods
! it will be possible to acquire the sup
! port of the service itself. Those IA
nil;ar with this problem will concede
that the opposition of the military
| personnel to anything emanating from
| the War Department in this respect
would prove fruitless to any recon-
menda tions to Congress- The discon-
| tent which is so apparent among the
! yariouSs groups of officers on the pro-
motion list has created a divergent
array of remedies. and it is q fore
gone conclusion that any proposal for
d modification Of the present Army
promotion system which fails to re-
| move the existing confusion and con-
| flict will be detrimental to any de-
