Doctor Ellwood thinks free love-
as some style it, dangerous ooctr'ne
with dangerous advocates.
-The people in modern society VINO
advocate such theories as free love
are~ he afirms, more dangerous
than the worst anarchist or the most
revolutionary socialist. In ptner
words, the modern attack upon the
family is more of menace to all
that is worth while in human life than
all attacks upon government and prop
erty: and it is one of the most serious
signs of the times that many intel
Ilectual people have indorsed such
views"
In the matter of immigration, Doc
tor Ellwood says that there are no
good social Or political arguments Tor
the prohibition of European peoples
from our country. But he says:
"The importance Of the racial fac
tor becomes so pronounced that it
may well be doubted If policy OF ex-
clusion toward Asiatic immigration
would not be the wisest in the long
run for the people of this country"
It is the Chinese. especially. that he
seeks to exclude, because he believes
they make no contribution to the vel
flare of the country; that they are
immoral; and that they do not readily
assimilate. He thinks that, economi-
,ally, they tend to reduce the STAN
dard of living; socially, that we would
sooner or later face another race prob
lem II they were allowed to come to
this country in large numbers.
Doctor Ellwood would solve the
NEGRO problem by industrial education
land the forming of proper senti-
Iment among the people of the two
traces. He does not view the problem
with alarm, but he thinks it Is ques-
Ition of vital interest to the nation.
when the leaders Of both races be-
lcome united on plan OF training
1.-THE negro for efficient citizenship"
lsays Doctor Ellwood, undoubtedly the
funds will be forthcoming. While the
NEGRO question is, from one point OF
view, primarily question OF indus
trial training and adjustment OF the
NEGRO, from another point of view it
lis a moral question which can never
be solved until the superior race
Icomes to taFe the right attitude
toward the inferior race. namely. the
latitude Of service"
To minimize pauperism and its ef-
fleets on society, Doctor Ellwood would
|haye the church, organized societies,
individuals and the government work
) ling to this end. The best results are
accomplished, he thinks, when charity
is conducted in an organized way. He
lsays, though, that "the wisest meas
lures for removing pauperism will be
directed toward the prevention Of its
causes rather than toward the re-
claiming of those who have already
been caught in it's meshes.
: Education, Doctor Ellwood thinks
: is the chief means through which so
ciety will get rid of its problems and
be lifted to its proper plane. As the
! educators Of the masses. he looks te
: 1.-THE church and the press, believing
:. that they are the greatest educationa
forces. Obeying his convictions. ht

work and writing articles for publ
+ cation. He is an elder in the Pres
!, lbyterian church and takes an active
e part In all of its affairs. He teaches
: "a Sunday school class in the sam'
D church, lecturing every Sunday morn
e ling before a large number CT young
linen, mainly students of the Univer
y Isity.
