Few. pres ident of the Educational Association of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, told the Methodist educators at the annual meeting of the association hero today that the outstanding educational task at this time was to form "an in separable alliance between progress and religion: between learning a-nd good will; between aggressive evangelism and the adequate training of youth."

"The more typical I'rotestant churches, like Methodist and Baptist, have depended too much an evangelism.

EIGHT YEARS OF MUCH SUFFERING Is Justification. Pled, by Woman for Shooting Phy sician to Death. New York. Deo. 14. Pleading eight years of suffering as her justification, Mrs. Charles S. llaizcn today faced ar raignment in Brooklyn court on char ges of killing- Dr. Abrham Glickstein, 4S, in his office last Saturday. Surrendered lo the police by lawyer.- representing her father and husband last night, Airs. Raizen. who- is twenty nine years old and the wife of a toy manufacturer, to whom she was married last May, told her story to District At torney Harry Lewis. With dry eyes and an air of self-con-trcl superior to that of any of her au ditors, she revealed the secrets of a lit which she said had been made nearly unbearable b- the physician, whose life she had ended with a bullet. She had known Glickstein, she said, most of her life. He was her family's general practitioner in the lower East Side of Manhattan, where she, then Lil lian Schaffery ;;nd her parents, as well as Glickstein. lived. He had her impli cit trust, she told the district attorney, and exercised a strange, but powerful influence over her a sort of magnetic influence, as she described it. Mrs. Raizen said she struggled in vain to break the hold the r-hysirmn had on her life. A year ago she thought she had succeeded. The relationships wich she said had always bea.i against her will, ended about a. year agu and tnougnt she was free. RENEWED HIS ADVANCES Then, on the eve of her marriage to Raizen, she said Glickstein renewed his advances and attacked her in the of fice, where on Saturday, -with the mem ory of her injuries torturing her, she ended his life. She escaped that time, she said, and went ahead with her trousseau and in May was married. On her honeymoon, she said, she confessed all to her hus band and he tried to console her, told her to try and forget it. But, to forget, she declared, was im possible. The shadowed past became a. violent, tormenting obsession that un dermined her health. Finally, on the advice of another physician, she went to Florida, and in Jacksonville she bought the pistol. Then she came North, sought out the object of her fears, and shot him through the heart. Leaving the house in which Glickstein was dying, she took a train to Manhat tan, called her father on the teleohone and told him what she had done. The recital ended, Mrs. Raizen left tne district attorney s office with two policemen, who took her to a police sta tion, where she was formally bonded on a homicide charge and where she spent the night. Before the arraignment, Aaron W. Levy, one of the two attorneys who ac companied her to the prosecutor's of- nee last mgnt, indicated tnat tne de fense would be based upon the conten tion that she was mentally unbalanced. The physician who advised the South ern trip came to the defense of nis pa tient with the statement that viec men tality was "not normal". BRYSON, BUREAU HEAD, IS IN CITY Fifth District Manager Gives Scope of Activities of Organization. Under the supervision of M. Eryson Fifth district manager, United States Veterans Bureau, an important confer ence was openel in Charlotte Wednes day. The district represented by Mr. Bryson comprises the States of North and South Carol:? a, Georgia, and Ten nessee, with headquarters in Atlanta. There are eleven sub-district offices un der his suj trvisien, of .which Charlotte is declared to be the largest. The whole district, M,:. Bryjon says, ins .iporoxi mately 100.000 disabled men with whom (he bnrea t deals ami there are at mis Line about 7,000 men in training a. id L',0(0 men in hoi ital.s. The bureau is spending around $2,000,000 ihe month for vocational training, medical and hos pital expenses, etc. The entire morning was consumed by talks from officers of the tir3t dis trict. Dr. C. S. Merriman, chief med ical oCicer for the Iji'th district, with headquarters in Atlanta, spoke for some time on the reorganization of the whole medical department in this district. Under his supervision are 2,000 sub district medical officers, (500 dentists, 14 governmental hospitals and 125 contract hospitals.' lie was foiovved by Hurry A. Wallerstein, chief of co-operation in the district, who discussed conditions that are now existing in the district. - The afternoon session began at 2 o'clock, at which Mr. Kryson spoke. J. C Wardlaw, chief 'of rehabilitation division of the district, will also take the floor and talk on problems con fronting the bureau. The present conference is one of those included in a tour of the soutr eastern district that the officials of the central office in Atlanta are now making. The party is making a study of condi tions in individual branches and offering necessary suggestions as to the settle ment of existing problems. The Charlotte territory includes prac tically all of western North Carolina. TIi.l .. . j.,- . J "K Ulliv itu r?l!U-UlY ISlOll UlUUtl S Ujl me and J?. Bollineau, of the Raleigh office. There are 1.1 sub-division districts in the iifth district. Under Mr. Brawley are about 25 subordinate officers through out the western part of the state, all of whom were present Wednesday morn ing for the conference. Air. Bryson and his parly will be guests of the weekly dinner of the American Legion at the Chamber of Commerce Wednesday evening at 6:43 o'clock, when Mr. Bryson will speak. Joe Sparks, of Atlanta, liaison officer between the American Legion and the Veterans Bureau, and Thomas W. Bird, commander of the Nnorth Carolina de partment of the American Legion at Asheville, will also speak. Following the dinner, the Veteran bureau party will leave immediately for Asheville. where they will hald a con ference Thursday. They were in Ral eigh Tuesday, coming to Charlotte from that place. M. Bryson said that there are COO trainees under' Vis supervision taking vocational trainirg from the Charlotte effiee. "The public t.cts not appreciate or understand the enormous program of the U. S. Veterans' Bureau which has supervision of all matte' s pertaining to vocational training, compensation, medical and hospital care of the dis abled men," Air. Bryson said. "One of the most important phases of the work of the bureau is the insurance division which provides all ex-service men in surance at actual cost. "Because of recent legislation which established the U. S. Veterans' Bureau it has been necessary to re-organizo the entire work so it can be placed on a more cmciem oasis ana it is my pur pose here to accomplish two things. One, to get my district, working on a business like basis and to expedite the disposition of claims that disabled men may have against the bureau. "At this time the district office has authority to dispose of only new cases that were filed with it subsequent to September 15. 1921, but within the next ; u ukjs ine aisirici omco will nave au thority "to dispose of every claim by ex-service men that reside in the rive states comprising the district. "Our program contemplates that each sub-office, as far as possible, will be au thorized to assist and advise every ex service man fully of his rights who is a oenenciary of the bureau and to this end our medical units are being re-organized and placed together with the experts on training and compensation. Men in training will be given strict supervision in order to insure that they are benefitting '"' y their training and that they reach a point of employabi'ity in the quickest possible time without detriment to their training. "I have under my supervision in the district office. 450 employes and in the sub-district, offices including the medical men about 2,000 more, and our work covers all technical and professional work that could possibly he incorporat ed in any one organization. "Bding an ex-service man myself, I am in entire sympathy with the dis abled men under my supervision and pledge to them a humane, conscientious, end efficient administration, and to the taxpayers who support this bureau an economic administration." THOUSAND SCHOOL PUPILS VACCINATED Xinety-five per cent of the 1,000 small pox vaccinations already given school children were "takes", said Dr. W.-A. McPhaul, city health officer. Dr. McPhaul and the school nurses have been visiting the school within the last two weeks, giving the children the smallpox vaccine, but because of nearness of the Christmas holidays work has been suspended until the ginning of school after the holidays. The health officer has visited all the hite schools with the exception of Fourth ward. However, none of the af ternoon classes in the white schools have been visited, said Dr. McPhaul. The negro schools will be visited after Christmas, he said. the the be- ALTITUDE RECORD IS MADE IN AN AIRPLANE Washington. Dec. 14.

VACCINE PASSES ON UNTO GENERATIONS "Unto the third and fourth genera McPhaul, city health officer, gives to the tions" is the Biblical turn Dr. W. A. effect of smallpox vaccine. A .man of today, whose father and grandfather have been immunized from smallpox by vaccination need have no fear of his children having smallpox, even though their arms have not been scratched, thinks the health officer. Dr. McPhaul said that his view of the immunization of the third generation, without vaccination, is shared with oth ers of the medical profession. This theory is shown in the fact that today the small number of smallpox cases arc usually always light. Persons whose fathers or mothers have, been vaccinated and who are themselves with out vaccination usually have mild cases when they contract smallpox, the health officer pointed out. Add another genera tion of vaccinated forbears and there will be no smallpox, he said. Dr. McPhaul pointed out that the ini- f : . :ii a. . i : . . :j.An:t-niif liiuuizauuu win hoi cuiiuuue inueniiitci from generation to generation, and un less a person is absolutely sure of the genealogy of his vaccinated fathers, he jshould take the serum and "play safety ' first". In one of the middle Western cities smallpox has recently appeared in a virulent form, claiming 40 deaths in a month, said Dr. McPhaul. It is possible for smallpox to again come back in epidemic form and the health officer says it is advisable to take the scratch on the arm and avoid the markings all over the body. i ti .1 council cnamner beloi-c missioners.
