The Philadelphia A M E Conference district will decide tomorrow on pastorate changes as the centennial session nears its end. Many long-tenured placements may shift though city removals are not expected. The Carlisle school board criticism centers on unventilated, unsanitary conditions at a school set aside for colored pupils with unequal educational opportunities.

Financial reports show nearly eight thousand nine hundred seventy six dollars raised for the dollar fund, plus smaller gifts to missions education and memorial funds. The missionary society reports over two thousand five hundred raised. Special services and ordination by Bishop Evans Tyree occur tomorrow at Bethel A M E Church.
