J. Spencer Comstock, president, introduced Dr. Southerton, who spoke at length crit1cising the present scheme of Sunday ideas for building up the Sunday schools and advocated many new schools of the borough to offset the 1 gains already made by these Socialistic schools. Mrs. Isaac Franklin Russell of the Board of Education was another speaker who declared that the present system does not appeal to children, and teachers must adapt themselves to a new scheme.

The Rev. Dr. Walter H. Howlett, educational director of the Marcy Avenue Baptist Church, told of the results achieved last summer when more than 100 summer Sunday schools were established throughout the greater city. It is the idea of the association to start a campaign for installing moving pictures in the churches and Sunday chools of the city to augment Bible teachings.

The new officers elected for the coming year include George W. Parks, president; Mrs. Comstock, first vice president; Miss Esther Rile, second vice president Miss Carolyn Snyder, secretary, and Miss Lydia Schuman, treasurer.

The Brooklyn Democratic organization, which has remained passive under Republican attacks aimed at Democratic Leader McCooey on the ground that the Surrogate's Court, where McCooey holds the position of chief clerk, has been made a political headquarters, took notice of the charge for the first time last night. Its answer was made public through Surrogate George A. Wingate at a out the produced facts series of rallies throughDemocratic, and figures to disprove the intimation that politics was interfering with the efficiency of the office. "It has been said that our court is the Mecca of politicians," he declared, "with the obvious inference that we don't do anything there but receive political callers and atend to political business. I am prepared to meet the charge and meet the inference by quoting the facts and letting the facts speak for themselves.

"In Brooklyn, with a population approximately equal to that of Manhattan, we have one Surrogate. Across the river they have two. In Brooklyn, with a record of 2,460 wills probated last year to 2,243 across the river, and 5,000 cases of administration to 4,800 in the neighboring county, we have 45 office clerks to their 127. And last and most important, with a greater volume of accomplished, we have conducted the office at a cost of $119,000 to $296,000 for. the Surrogate's office in New York County.
