ministry must be made more attrac-
tive to young men
Speaking before a report meeting
of the Los Angeles Presbytery here
last night, Will H. HAYS, chairman
of the lavmen s committee of the
Presbyterian church of the United
States declared the future. Of the
church was in the hands of its ad
,ministrators.
The thinning ranks of prospec-
tive ministers should make us
pause he declared. 1--WE are
asking too much of human nature
when we ask men to dedicate them
selves to present needs and future
hardships.
"For a life of service the aver
age material compensation of
preachers is less than that paid our
day laborer. It is both a moral and
economic crime ne said.
Hays asked that California as

The story had its parallel in Ell Centro this week,
only this time it who figured in the touch

. Poorly dressed, and plainly showing the marks of
hard labor, he announced that he wanted to make

Without doubt the dollar represented goodly por-

and had only regret that he could give more Then
he went on his way.
He who had little gave much, while others who have

Students Are Not.
Keen About Change

Recent announcement by the state
department Of public instruction that
teachers institutes will be abandoned
this year was bad news for pupils who
have no overpowering desire for class
room exercises.
The reason, according to Miss
Bertha Palmer, state superintendent.
is that, it may reduce the number Of
holidays on which children will be
free from school.
+ In the past institute week has
meant five days Of leisure for the
children in each district. The new
plan Of having visiting teacher do
demonstration work one day in each
district will reduce the holidays to
one and the children attending tie
demonstration school will not eyea
get that.
OF course, Miss Palmer said, county
superintendent who 80 desire nay
use the other Four days tor couuky

will take advantage Of the opp6rtda-
ity. No matter how popular fAS ifst
