AMBASSADOR BRYCE SPOKE ON
EDUCATIONAL PROBLEMS IN
CITY OF CHICAGO.
CONTRASTS WITH ENGLAND
There is Growing Tendency Among
the Young TO Show Indifference for
Religious observanees the 'Ambassa.
dor Believes.

Chicago, Feb 15.-James Bryce, am.
bassador from Great Britain, contrast
ed the differences in religious educa.
tional problems in his country with
those of America in an address at the
closing general session of the Religious
Educational association last night.
I'm England he said, there had
been a controversy between two of the
great denominations, each of which
desires to give the instruction it ap-
proves. and two other sections of opin-
ion. one of which desires to have no
religious teaching at all in the schools
religious instruction. but wishes It to
be undenominational, consisting of
those fundamental doctrines of Christi.
an.ty which are held in common by
different religious bodies.
Here in the United States the qucs-
tion is different, because it has long
been settled that religious instruction
is not TO be given In schools supported
by the state. Efforts Of the association
am addressing tonight are directed
to promote such instruction in other
ways.
"Al I desire to do is to call atten-
tion to certain facts in the social and
| intellectual condition of modern coun-
tries, and especially of England and
| America. which make 1t especially
needful TO take every possible means
Of impressing the fundamental truths
Of religion on the minds Of the young
Ethical teaching in schools would be
far more impressive If based on relig
ion
while fully recognizing the increas
ed activity of the churches and OF
such organizations as the Young Mems
| Christian association and the Christian
| Endeavor societies, the tendency In
large sections of a rapidly growing
population toward indifference in re
! ligion and toward a diminished rever
ence for the sanctions which religion
provides Is conspicuous enough to
make it necessary for them to pu,
forth all their eXertion to vindicate for
religion its place in the training OF
the young throughout the whole course

BIGGEST FARM o EARTH
Said to Be David Rankin's in Mis-
souri-He Guesses It's True.

Nearly forty years ago an Illinois
farmer discovered that land one one
side OF state line was selling for
$40 an acre while he might buy
any amount on the other side OF the
imaginary dividing mark for less
than third that amount Real estate
men told the farmer that no rail
road would ever go near the Mis-
souri, lands, but he sold his farm
in Illinois and bought all he could
of the Ian at So an acre.
Not long ago David Rankin, who
Is the man that bought the cheap
acreage. took on inventory of his
possessions in the neighbOrhood OF
Tarkio, Mo. The inventory showed
25.GiO acres, 1900 fattening hCgs,
5000 cattle, 500 horses, more than
100 cottages, T. which .he employees
of the big farm housed, great quanti-
ties Of farm machinery and the like.
The total figures up to something
like Si,00OO00 in value, says Hamp-
, tons Magazine. That didn't include
the 100000 bushels of corn pro
duced annually or the $50 miles of
tiling and bitches, some OF which
had been draining the marsh lands
of Iorty years ago.
They say I'm the biggest farmer

steers from the plains and fatens
them until worth twice what he
pays for the feeders" as they are
called. He never sells corn, because
by feeding It to cattle, according

he gets more ample returns. 1t is
