The forum hour a. II o'clock was taken
up with lecture by Mrs. E. 6. Green of
Santa Cruz, whose topic was Child
Study" From wide experience Mrs.
Green is enabled to speak adv.sedIy upon
inns theme. Her talk to-day was practi-
cal as we'll as effective. She defined child
study as a new branch of psychology
one which is attracting much attention
and study OF late all over the country
among physiologisls and psychologists
The efforts of these scientists, however,
she declared TO be helpless without the
aid OF women, especially mothers. Why
should not women, she SAID, be better
qualified by proper training to fill their
own especial vocation, motherhood, and
why is it not as we'll 10 raise better men
and women than the kind being raised to-
day?
W. McClish also talked briefly upon
Child Study" and its benefits TO modern
civilization,
The afternoon session began at O. clock
with a popular lecture by Professor
Thomas B. Bailey Jr., professor of biology
and pedagogy in the Uniyer SHY of Califor-
MIA, upon the sublecl OF Spiritual Devel-
opment." Professor Bailey is a North
Carohnian, and DR.. AcCIsh declared in
lis INTRODUCTION that the warm b of the
Sunny South filled his heart.
In his discourse Professor Bailey dweIt
with the development OF man on psychlcaI
and religious lines, taking as an opening
idea that 1t was illogical 10 believe that no
one but a doctor of divinity could talk
upon religion, for from the beginning OF
things man has had some form of religious
belief, and the advancement of rel gion
from Its crudity TO Its present high devel-
o ment marks the progress of the human
race.
He then drew clearly the com parison
between philosophical development. as
traced through the biological, the esthetic
and the ethical stages and the religious
development as expressed through the
Bibles technical division of stages-body,
soul and spirit; the philosophical bio
logical stage, corresponding to the re-
lig Gus body, being exemplitied in man s
fear OF bodily pain and actual hell fire
the estheti corresponding TO the soul
stage, which stage he called the transition
stage, and toe ethical TO the spiritual--the
highest condition of development.
Each OF these stages he divided into
individualistic and socalistic sections,
and he concluded that the perfect man
must have passed all the stages and con.
bIned the Two sides of each to reach the
final highest development - perfection.
The lines were traced IN most scholarly
but withal n lucid and practical manner,
being illustrated and authenticated by
reference to words of the celebrated think
eTs upon these problems.
