The sermons these intelligent, (j|ithV

decided effect In moulding public

To the Editor:- Nothing Is truer I
perhaps than the statement made by
the poet: '"Tie education forma the
common mind." 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.
Among them:
First. All the conditions^ which
make for general happiness, con:

GENERAL CONFER!
MEETS AT MINNEA1
Special to the Daily News.
MineapollB. Mia.. April 30.?ill
preparations are completed for
General Conference of the Metkodlat
Episcopal Chorch which begjnp
here tomorrow Its twenty sixth qimdroanlal
session aa a delegated bAy.
Throngs of delegates and vUitortlTtO
the conference are arriving In ike
oity. All naUona. races and touiei
are represented among the visitors.
Vrtam Europe. Aala, Africa
South America have co?e men bring
ing greetings to the conference either
as delegates or fraternal visitors.
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. In a

The clergymen and laymen who
want a modification of the episcopacy
point oat that the conditions that
I required the organization of tbe prea
ent system, which in the past has
been moat efficient, no longer exist.
New conditions require the church
leaders, or bishops, to be familiar
with the problems of the various con
terence districts, so as to coSnsel the
clergymen and Initiate methods ol
work. Nearly all of the church lead

<h? proposed changeB. At the same
time, it is pointed out, the Genera]
Conference is a very conservatlovc
body, and it is likely that very few
of the proposed reforms will be adopted.
1 Another subject on which there is
a diversity of .sentiment is whethei
there shall be a supreme court ol
Methodism. It iB pointed out that
It is incongruous for the General
Conference is a very conservative
Conference to be both a legislative
and judicial body. The commission
will report a plan for the
proposed court to Interpret the

While the report of this commission
will be placed before the General
Conference, it is believed doubtful
if action at this time will be taken
to create such a court.
The'church rule against dancing,
attending theaters, playing cards
and indulging in various other forms
of amusoment will again be brought
up and will doubtful precipitate the
usual splrltod discussion.
There are to be probably four
bishops elected to fill vacancies, although
in this General Conference
has the power to increase the number
of new bishops as circumstances
may require.
- The bishops who may retire are
Bishop Henry T. Wan-en, of Denver,
who la eighty years old. and Bishop
David Moore of Cincinnati and Earl

vraumon, ox WBlDlflglon, TiotQ of
whom are more than seventy years
of age. The questton'of their retirement,
however, depends wholly upon
the action of the Oeneral Conference.
