Bmm or a difference of opinion that he
describes as "good natured." Kov. Sumner
T. Martin of the First Christian S?rch
Twentieth street and Capitol avenue, has
tendered his resignation as pRstor and It
has been accepted, to take effect when a
succeceor la secured, which may not be for
some weeks, as the congregntlon U said to
have no ono In sight as yet.
Kov. Martin succeeded Itev. Hurt, and
would have completed his second year with
the church this coming March. During
that time there havo been about 200 ac
ceflons to the church, nil at regular Sun
day services, thcro having been no special
revivals attempted. Tho church In In bet
tor financial condition also, and there seems
to be no aggrqsslvo dissatisfaction with his
work, but when he came hero ho
expected to lead his congregation
In a branching out on moro gen
rral lines, and expected nlso that a now
church would be built within a year, and
It Is tho failure of these expectations that
has led to tho open differences of opinion
and resulted In his deciding that It would
be better for all concerned that ho take
his present course He states that he has
rocolved several calls, but has not decided
which to accept.
Committee Will Kxpress lleuret.
His resignation was presented the church
men Wednesday of last week nnd accepted
by the congregation Sunday, nt which time
a commlttoo consisting of Judge V. V.
filabaugh, E. O. Jones and C. A. Lymnn was
appointed to draft resolutions of regret and
commendation. It Is said that the regret
at hU leaving was general, though there
were a few who felt that It might bo best
under tho circumstances.
To Tho Deo Ilov. Martin said Inst night:
"This Is In no bcuso a church quarrel. It
If. simply a good naturcd difference of
opinion as tho best method of conducting
tho work. I had hoped to havo tho church
reach out on broader lines nnd build a now
edifice, bollovlng that the Lord, seeing it
work to be done, would provide u way to
do It, but tho congregation has not felt
ablo to undertako It, and I decided to make
way for another leader for It."
Xrw Chnreli In In rrcixpect.
W. A. Saunders, chalrmnn of tho church
board, when seen last night nt his home,
2050 North Nineteenth street, substantially
verified all thnt llov. Martin had said, re
marking: "Tho nccesstonB to tho church
during tho presont pastornto havo num
bered 200, nnd Mr. Martin's work has been
satisfactory, tho reason for his resigna
tion being that which he has given. The
now church building which he hnd hoped
for Is not, howover, so far distant us may
seem. Indeed, I expect tho project to bo
wall launched by the tlmo of tho big con
vention of the denomination hero next Oc
tober. Tho congrogatlon Is thirty years
old, and tho building It occupies Is tho
samo that It built In the lato '70s at Twen
tieth and Farnam, nnd thon moved In 1SS3
to Its presont site. Tho Indebtedness then
Incurred will bo all wiped out within a
month or two, for there Is already enough
pledged to remove It, and tho planning of
a new structure will begin Immediately
nftorwnrd, probably by spring. Nono of tho
members aro wealthy, and the church de
pends on what is styled tho 'mlddlo class'
for Its support, but a new building is in
the air and bound to materialize.
No Snceeor Yet In HIkM.
"As a successor to Hcv. Martin wo have
absolutely no ono In sight, for tho talk of
his resignation took this decisive form
rather suddenly." f
Concerning next fall's national conven
tion Mr. Saunders said thut tho executive

tho matter of headquarters and transact
routine buslnoss. Tho committee deputized
to decide tho former question Is C. S. l'nyne,

DES MOINES, Dec. 26. (Special.) The
thirty-seventh annual meeting of the Iowa
Stnto Teachers' association began here to
day, the first meeting being that of the
educational council, which held a business
session and audited tho accounts of the
association this evening. Tomorrow tho
educntlonnl council will hold Its annual
session. Tho association program proper
begins on Friday nnd continues four days.
It Is unusual for the programs to run over
Sunday and for that reason a special pro
gram for Sunday has been prepared, which
Includes a sermon by Illshop Spalding of
Poorla. Tho lecture of 'ho convention was
to have been by Max O'ltoll, but It Is un
derstood he will not bo able to fill the en
gagement, and a lecture on "Liquid Air"
will bo substituted. Others lectures will
bo by Inspector Hughes of Toronto, Can
ada. Prof. W. I,. Tomllns of New York
City nud ex-PrcBldent J. P. D. John of In
dlnnn. The program In lilted with the usual
discussions on various topics of Interest
to educators and will occupy all the time
allotted, both for the general sessions and
for the side meetings.
Superintendent A. W. Stuart of Ottumwa
Is president of the association this year,
and If precedent Is followed tho presidency
will go to the collego section this year. It
will go cither to President Shelton of Simp
son college or to President MacLcan of
Iowa State university. It Is expected that
about 1,000 teachers will bo present. Mem
bers of tho educational council arrived In
the city this morning and largo numbers
of touchers aro already hero for tho ses
sion. Kxiinilnn tloiix nixeiiKNeil,
Two topics will come before tho educa
tional (.ouncll this year nnd both were be
fore the council Inst year, so that something
of tho naturo of the questions uppermost
In tho minds of tho members of tho council
Is nlready known. Tho final discussion of
tho council this yenr will be on the topic,
"Examinations, School, College, Entrance
and Teachers." The chairman of tho com
mittee Is O. II. Marsh, county superintend
ent of Mills county. Last year the chair
man was II. H. Freer of Cornell college.
Others of the leading educators of the stoto
on this commlttoo nre: J. P. Huggett, Coo
college; Superintendent A. M. Dornnn, Os
ceola; Superintendent II. E. Deatcr, Page
county; Prof. M. F. Arcy, Iown Btnte Nor
mal school; Superintendent S. H. Sheaklcy,
Des Mulncs; Superintendent A. V. Storm,
Storm Unko; Superintendent J. J. McCon
nell, Cedar Rapids; Harlan Updegrnff, Co
lumbia university, New York City; Prof.
Jeannctto Carpenter, Iown Stato Normal
school, nnd Superintendent W. N. Clifford,
Council Illuffs. These nro representative
ablo men among Iowa educators. Tho dis
cussion this year must be confined to
teachers' examinations. Tho other parts of
tho topic were disposed of last year. In
general, the report of tho committee rando
by the committee last yoar, and this re
port will bo repeated with somo slight
changes this year, was to the effect that ex
aminations must not be considered tho only
test of proficiency, that they- are valuable
or harmful according to tho spirit, Intelli
gence and skill which directs thorn, and It
was further declared they aro not too fro
qucnt nor unreasonable In character. The
commltteo had originally Inserted a clause
to the effect that failures In examination
aro as much a reflection on tho teacher as
on the pupil. This was stricken out, after
a spirited discussion, the council reaching
tho conclusion It would be misunderstood.
In regard to school examinations tho coun
cil adopted that part of tho report which
doclarcd that thoy should not bo mado tho
solo basis for promotions.
Inmivnt loim Are Opposed.
It wns In regard to teachers' examina
tions that tho council last year squarely
divided. The report of the commltteo de
clared that teachers' examinations should
be conducted by n county board of three
members of which tho county superintend
ent should ba the chairman and the other
two should bo appointed by tho state su
perintendent. Examinations should be held
every three months by this hoard. Tho re
port originally read that the entire board
of three should be appointed by tho county
superintendent. This wns changed before it
reached tho council. Tho purposo of the
clauso was to commit tho Stato Teachers'
association, and through It tho educational
Influences of Iowa to a radical rhango In
tho method of conducting teachers' exami
nations. Tho discussion of this subject In
tho council and In one form or another In
tho association, was almost sensational In
nature. Opposition to tho Innovation was
led by Superintendent Dcator of Page
county, who spoke for tho county superin
tendents nnd defended them. The change
was urged with a view to centralizing
powor In the Btato superintendent nnd to
remove tho matter of teachers' examina
tions from petty local politics, The advo
cates of tho present method Insisted that
the change would bo ruinous and would not
accomplish any of the things sought, but
would rather aggravate tho trouble. The
council divided nearly evenly In regard to
this report and the result was that tho re
port was thrown back to the committee to
bo brought up again this year. It Is un
derstood that no such radical measures will
bo proposed this year, hjit that tho con
servative elements of the commltteo will
dominate and bring In n report that will ba
adopted without any sorlous opposition
from the county superintendents and wilt
suit tho professional teachers who nre not
pleased with the present method.
Sentience of Studios.
Tho other topic for consideration of tho
educational council Is "The Sequenco of
Studies." The report will be presented by
J. E. Williamson, city superintendent of
Falrflold. On this committee aro such well

Prof. W. II. Norrls Urlnncll This tonic
now comes up for consideration a second
lime. It was discussed last year to somo
extent. The report of the committee, as It
stands now, Is couched In general tertni.
The report declares, In substance, that tho
true sequence of studies In schools and col
leges In all the grades cannot be determined
for all classes and conditions. In other
words, circumstances must be taken Into
consideration nt nil times nnd especially
the mental traits of the pupil and his pur
poses. It was declared that no fixed rule
could be laid down. The sequence of studies
In the common grades cannot be determined
by the requirements of the colleges, for
these vary greatly, nor can the sequence be
based on wh.it the high schools desire. The
point most discussed nnd about which there
was greatest Interest wns whether or not
tho studies In high schools should be so
shaped as to lead all high school pupils Into
preparation for college entrance. Many of
tho educators ranged themselves In opposl
tlon to anything that looktd llko making of
the public high schools of the stato mere
preparatory schools for the colleges, while
others were Insistent that pupils should not
be led to believe that completion of the high
schools Is the And of practical education.
This phase of the subject will receive
greatest consideration this year, as tho re
port will bo substantially the same us last
yoar.
State Siiperliiteiiilent'n Poiltlon.
Prof. Illchard C. Uarrett, superintendent
of public Instruction for Iowa, Is ex-oftlcln
chairman of the educational council and has
presided over the sessions for three years.
Prof. Uarrett Is understood to bo In favor
of some of tho changen which have been
uggested In regard especially to the man
ner of having examinations conducted. He
has not officially nnproved any one of the
nnovntlous as against others, hut In gen
eral desires that somothtng shall be dono
o render moro perfect tho system by which
he qualifications of teachers may bo
known. In his unnual report to tho uov-
rnor he discusses the various methods
freely and presents them to tho legislature
thnt they may bo carefully considered. He
not likely to range himself radically In
favor of nny system thnt would arouse the
enmity of tho county superintendents with
whom ho hns worked In perfect harmony.
Ex-State Superintendent Sabln Is always an
honored member of the educational council
gatherings nud his counsel Is generally
heeded, Last year ho spoke firmly and em
phatically for a conservative course and his
words we"nt for toward smoothing down
what might have developed Into an ugly
Iscusslon. Another cx-stato superintend-
nt who Is likely to be with the council this
year again Is Carl W. Von Coelln, who will
become county superintendent of Crawford
ounty soon, nftor several years of retire
ment. Prof. Knoepflcr of Cedar Falls ami
rof. Abcrnothy of Osage, both ex-state su-
porlutendcnta, generally attend the meet-
ngs of the council, of which they nre hon
orary members.
