It ia equally true that no community or state can rise higher than the average of intelligence in such community or state. This is so whether applied to the moral or industrial life of the state. | if it bd admitted that these statement* are true, then it seems to me the chief business of the community, the state,' or the nation is'to qee to it that all its citizens are given a chance to be educated, and not only given this chance, but bev required to attend the schools, so that the opportunities for education may be used to the advantage of each individual, and thus to the state as well. Individuals . make the state. The task, then, of the state la. to require Its individual citizens to be educated in their youth ^ I By raising the standard of citizenship to a higher place of intelligence many very desirable ends are accomplished.

Today the various committees were busy completing the arangemen^ for the gathering or putting the Anal touches to the Reports that tkey will present to the conference. Bishop H. W. Warren, of Denver, the senior bishop in point of service, will preside at the opening services tomorrow. I The delegates are looking forward to the most interesting and Import* ant conference the church has held in ypars. During the three or four weeks that the sessions will continue a vast amount of routine business will be transacted, old blBhops will be retired and their successors elected. and various proposals calling for radical reforms in the methods of church administration will be considered and acted upon. ]^he overshadowing question to come before the conference will be the modification of the Episcopal form of government. Within the past two years the question has been debated at the annual conferences and by the laymen's assocrntlons. Briefly stated the "insurgents" ask for fonr radical changes: the aboil-, tlon of the office or district superintendent, formerly presiding older, as now constituted; the election of bishops in sufficient number to allow each bishop to have, a term. of. resident office, about four years.
