Western Professor Con-

THREATENS HUMAN RACE
Asserted That Study of Sciences
Smites Creddlity and Makes
Student Better Man.

IOWA CITY. Iowa. Feb 24-Dr.
Thomas H. Macbride, professor of bot
any in the State University OF Iowa,
has just delivered the first OF a series
of public lectures upon practical
Ethics, or the Moral Significance of
Representative Pursuits in Student
Life"
Prof Macbride takes the ground that
science has, and is, affecting most
profoundly the ethics of the student;
that scientific thought re-enforces the
highest maxims Of Christian ethics.
lends support to all that makes for
nobility and beauty in human char
scter and conduct
Recognition OF Truth
Said Prof Macbride: ITO recognize
the truth and to speak that which is
true Is the highest aim proposed for
human attainment The sub1ect-mat-
ter and the methods Of the scientist
train main for truthfulness.
In science, the liar not only COM
rnits suicide, but he performs his own
sepuIture. Lies make headWay only
as people are credulous- The yellow
journalist fiourishes because the gap
ing multitude believes his silly tales,
Science bids US believe nothing eX-
Cept on evidence subject to vertf1Cation.
From the CTedulity OF misguided
humanity literature cannot save u.s.
the drama. cannot save u.s. philosophy
cannot save US, nor can religion save
us indeed, religious concept has never
been so noble, religious hope so holy,
religious consolation so sacred, DuI
that some deceiver has arisen to per-
vert it TO the undOing OF the sons of
men.
dUlity, il seems to me, lies in an abso-
lutciy universal application Of the
method of verifcation, especially in the
training of the young
Upholds Truth and Morality.
Science. then. makes for truth; and
truth. as it seems to me, is the very
essence Of the highest morality Science
smites Credulity and is full OF a divine
skepticism that rests only in truth.
The victories Of science make for the
ethical Improvement of man in yet an
other most striking way. All sciences.
especially of the biologic sort, make for
purity. for cleanliness. for right living,
and physical health; all OF which make
for godliuess and morality. and right
eOusnesS and the happiness of men
Science makes for the maintenance of
high ethical living, because il adds 70
our enlightenment. our cleanliness. and
Ethics says be true. and science tells
the young man that If he violates the
laws OF truth he shall come TO deStruc-
tiOn in the physical world. nor less in
the high social realm toward which hu-
maulty is moving. ethics saws be clean,
and science tells the youth that If he

the matter was not made any better in
