Has the world advanced IN civilization
or has it receded?
The dying 1911 has Leen an event

cdrred that will receive permanent
record. But that it has been a good
year. a moral year, an annual round
marked by the progress Of civilization,
by the advancement on the whole, of
man in the arts and sciences, may be
doubted, Several months are marred
