WIDE SCOPE OF STUDY.
Having reviewed the methods of study
and the laws of health, let us now con-
slider the subjects of study.
We are commanded to prepare
everything needful for the kingdom of
God on the earth; and In doing this
we are to study all things in heaven
and earth and under the earth, whichS
includes all truth--things past, present
and future. We are specially asked to
study sociology, OF the wars and the per-
plexities of the various nations. which,
besides history, includes present ques-
tons of government: individual. family,
municipal, state. national and interna-
tional: such as education. morality, re-
ligion. capital and labor trusts, un-
ions, strikes, mobs, armies. navieS, irrt-
CATION, forestry, agriculture, mining,
manufacturing, transportation. litera-
ture. art, science, invention, boundaries,
treaties, arbitration, emigration, COM
ttx.,1. .;.-l,tt Il
aliens, ETC.: and the judgments which
are on the land such as wars, falnlnes,
pestilences deeds Of intemperance and
iInmorality-the fruits of disnbedience-
also earthquakes. fires floods and hur-
licanes. And we are to gain a know
lodge of countries and of Kingdoms,
which embraces location, shape, size.
surface. minerals, soils, climate, plants.
and animals, and especially the occu-
pations, manners, habits, customs, laws,
religions, language, literature, science,
art, music, sculpture. architecture. etc.
of all classes and races of people, their
history, motives and ambitions, the
true purpose of their existence, and
theii. relations and duties to each 9TH
err, to the universe, and to God These
many things are all embraced in
the one great subject of theology ply
steal science and mathematics being
branches thereof and--fEcluding the fol-
lowing subdivisions: Geography, geo
logy, mineralogy, metcorology. and hio-
5logy-the sum of all knowledge being
theology or a discourse on the infinite
and eternal universe of God, IFS prac-
tise Is religion.
To make a successful and economic
study of all these important questions
is an interesting work for all time and
degrees of intelligence, and requires a
careful differentiation OF the subject in
to logically related system or cosmos.
And then, each subject in the course
must have its logically classified parts,
each to the considered in It's proper
time and manner, And thus we see
how our change in motive-the econo-
mic building of Zion. a city of JOY, tho
kingdom of God-affects, and requires
modification of study and methods,
in all lines of work.
FAULTY SCHOOL METHODS.
We still have in many of our schools
the same subjects, kinds of work, and
methods of discipline as used in the
