need to know the laws of grammar
before he can be taught to speak. and

This leads us to the consideration OF
the Language lesson" It's Justification,

! LANGUAGE BASIS OF THOUGHT.
The fundamental reason for teaching
1t. insisting upon its proper use, must
rest upon the Intimate relation of
rest upon theintimatc relation of think
Ing and expression. Clear and accurate
thinking and clear and accurate ex-
preston are mutually dependent. Some
eminent scholars maintain there can be
no thought without language. Certain
ly the process of thinking would be
very rudimcntary without language.
And from this IL must follow that the
power TO think clearly and logically
Is very imperfect when expression is
imperfect A rude but vigorous speech
may serve all practical purposes for
original, strong thinking In spite of
the fact that society puts a ban upon
the individual using ii, for violating
the conventional form of expression
However desirable, correct and even
elegant English may be, the mere form
of expression is OF no value II there
is no thought in 1t. Language. there
fore, seems to me to be the most i'm
portant subject taught in our schools
because II is the basis of all thinking,
and consequently, OF all subjects OF
human knowledge From this point OF
view. language becomes an instru-
ment absolutely indispensable to the
usefulness and happiness of man. be-
cause his very existence depends upon
clear, vigorous and accurate thinking.
PROBLEM THREEFOLD.
The problem of the English lessons in
the elementary schools is a threefold
one. for instruction must proceed con-
currently along three lines:
l Composition-the practise of eX-
pressing thought 10Th orally and in
writing .F
2. Reading-the Interpretation OF
thought as found on the printed page
8. Correct language-the inculcation
of the art of good speech. and the study
OF as much grammar as tho child may
reasonably be expected TO comprehend
and apply
These three divisions of the subject
constitute In fact merely related phases
of one organic process; for all work In
English aims to help the child to think
clearly, to speak and write readily, to
acquire correct forms of speech as
habit and to develop love of good
literature.
Naturally. the first thing to consider
In determining the method OF teaching
any subject Is the purpose of teaching
that subject. What is the aim? That,
settled determines the standard by
which all methods may be measured.
The next considerations are the ma
ture of the subject-its meaning and its

The unusual amount OF hot
weather during the present summer
has greatly increased the custom of
sleeping out doors in Lancaster and
many is the tent that has been put
up on lawns about the city to fur
nish sleeping quarters. 1t is de-
clared upon high authority that no
amount of ventilation can make the
air of a sleeping chamber as pure as
the open, with nothing to obstruct
the escape of impurities exhaled
with the breath. Sleeping entirely
in the open, like upon q veranda,
also has advantages over tent and
it is claimed that when even a COM
plete calm prevails there is
always a movement of the atmOs
phere, so that an entire change Oh
the surrounding air occurs every
second.

GETTING EASY MoNEY,

Most of us have at one time OF
another, perhaps very many times,
encountered the individual who pro-
posed some brilliant scheme for our
betterment, offering in very conf
dental manner to let us in upon
some scheme that would make US q
lot of money. Most people are fire..
quently in receipt of circular letters
from representatives of some min
ing or other speculative proposition
pointing out how by small invest
ment you may be placed in a POSI-
ton of reaping wonderful profits,
when little thought would tell you
that it would be only reasonable, If
the profitable features were genuine,
the promoters would borrow the
money to operate and hang on to
the profits themselves instead of
offering them to utter strangers
except in rare instances. 1t
would seem that the average man
or woman would promptly toss
such communications in the waste
basket, but the fact that such
schemes are being constantly
worked would indicate that enough
suckers" are roped in regularly to
make the thing profitable to the
promoters.
Then there is the person or al
legged ''stock company" that offers
to pay you liberal salary and all
expenses if you will undertake the
sale of some article or estab lish
agents for such sale. Did it ever
occur to you how ridiculous such a
proposition is9 Good jobs don't hunt
men by mail. They don't have to.
Honest business men do not pay
salaries to unseen applicants. Any
proposition which guarantees" by
mail to pay you so much a week or
month may safely be set down as a
lie. No man can guarantee the
earning power of another without
knowing who and what he is, and
if he cites tempting figures in seek
ing to enroll you among his agents
and asks you for deposit on sam
pie article or IAN outfit" shun him.
You wouldn't pay money to man
on the street whom you had not
seen before for an article you had
never seen, because he promised
you an agency" then why pay it
to an unknown man who calls to
you from afar through a newspaper
or magazine9 If he is honest let
him send his sample on approval.
Beware of the job that hunts you
up by mail.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
is KNOWLEDGE OF
CHRISTIAN BELIEF
EXPLAINS WHY DISTINCTION
is USED
Monitor Tells Why Mrs. Eddy Em-
pIoyed Additional Term in Refer
ence to Religion She
Teaches

A reader of the Monitor sends us two
articles of a religious character clipped
from this page and asks, why call
this Christian Science? 1t is only Chris
tianity." We are glad to answer this
question, since the answer may interest
other readers and it comes within the
scope of this series of articles. First
of all, let us say we heartily agree
that the religion illustrated by the two
articles in question is Christianity. All
the articles of a religious character
which appear on this page aim to elu-
cidate or apply pure, whole and COM
plete Christianity.
The Christian religion is the religion
that was taught and practiced by Jesus
the Christ. He did not give a name to
his religion; he individualized and des-
ignated it by what he taught and espe-
cially by what he accomplished in the
practice of it. He laid down rule by
which his religion could be identified
by future generations; that is, it could
be known by it's fruits. He expressed
this rule in different words at different
times, but always to the same effect.
Thus he said: Every tree is known
by its own fruit; HE that believeth
on me- the works that | do shall he do
also; These signs shall follow them
that believe: In my name shall they
cast out devils; they shall speak with
new tongues; they shall take up SER
pents; and If they drink anv deadly
thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall
lay hands on the sick, and they shall
recover" IF a man keep my saying,
he shall never see death"
The religion which Christ Jesus
founded differs from all Others in re-
spect to its fruits, or the results of It's
Los Angeles herald., 1909-06-13

Science is consecrated primarily to the
destroying of evil and secondarily to
the Graduating of the effects of evil,
namely, disease and death. It's pur-
pose and mission is the same as that
of primitive Christianity; which was.
according to the writer of the epistle to
the Hebrews, to destroy him that had
the power of death, that is. the devil'' /;
which was, according to John, to de
stroy the works of the devil"; which
was, as it's Founder himself said, to
bear witness unto the truth"
Destroys Error
Christian Scientists likewise en-
deavor to destroy error of every kind,
root and branch, and in the degree
that they do so they bear witness I'M
to the truth" Our readers should not
expect us always to speak of Chris
tian Science in its application to the
healing of bodily sickness; for it is a
religion which is of universal applica-
ton to human needs; and it is none
the less Science because it is also
Christianity.
Therefore. the answer to our readers
question is, We call the religion ex-
pressed in these articles Christian Sci
ence because, in the words of Mrs.
Eddy, christian Science is the Science
of God and His universe, including
man. christian Science Monitor.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-06-13

in mathematics. 1t is an exact and
systematic statement of knowledge
concerning God, man and the universe.
1t is ascertained truth in regard to
these subjects and it includes rules by
which the truth of it's propositions can
be demonstrated.
Is Perfect Science
The Standard Dictionary also says:
I'm the progress of human knowledge
a science in it's earliest and simplest
form is usually a mere collection OF
observed facts, like the knowledge of
the movements of the heavenly bodies
possessed by the ancient Egyptians.
The next step is to correlate or gem
eralize these facts, forming a system
like that of Ptolemy or Copernicus;
the next to formulate these general
izations as laws, as was done by KEEP
Ter; the final step to proceed to some
principle or force accounting for these
laws usually by the aid of mathe
NAUTICAL analysis, as was done by
Newton in his theory of universal
gravitation. The tendency of modern
physical science is toward this more
complete generalization, it's goal being
the discovery of a principle that shall
connect all physical phenomena.
Judged by this criterion, the religion
set forth by Mrs. Eddy is perfect Sci
ence 1t classifies all the phenomena
of the universe into two classes, refers
each class to the law or spurious law
governing it and discovers the one
Principle of ali real law and phenom-
ena, and the one error back of all
spurious law and phenomena. 1t shows
the unity of all real being; it exposes
the falsity of the material sense of
creation; and it explains its own avail
ability to mankind as the means of
salvation from the false sense of being
which constitutes sin, sickness and
death.
Let us return now to the exact ques-
ton put by our reader. One of the two
articles that are the particular sub
ject of his inquiry is an article on the
overcoming of envy and jealousy by
the understanding and practice of
Christian Science. The other is an ar
ticle on the use of religion in the
ordinary vocations of this world. We
infer that our friend asks. "Why call
this Christian Science? 1t is only
Christianity" because the religions
taught in other Christian churches
are directed against sin and may be
/ helpful in secular affairs and because
he expected Christian Science to be
devoted only to the cure of physical
! disease.
The fact is. however, that Christian
