ers, and God with the world. Well
may it complain in the end, that it has
lost the key to the universe. What
wonder, since it opposes the artificial
and unnatural school of man to the
natural and grace-given school Of God?
But what is to become, then, you will
say, of our nebula and its integra-
tions, of our atoms and our molecules,
of our homogeneities and our hetero-
geneities, with which we build up all
and explain all? What are we to say
of all those theories, by which men
have made for themselves a great
name and great place in the palace
of education? We say: apply the

may argue with abtruse reasoning the
existence of the soul, but no argument
is greater than that of our present
identity with our past selves, which
every one perceives. The moralist
teaches his precepts with difficult met
aphysical reasoning, but the simplest
and the divinest school of morality is
the nursery in every home. There the
father returning from his toll may see
on the serene brow and in the spark

demnation of wrong. When, there

universal judgment of mankind. Such
education must be false, wherever the
fault may be, and we must be brave
enough at any cost to call it what it
is-a heap of pretensions. At times
we see the young and flourishing
sapling standing side by side with the
old oak, dead and riven by the thunder

men. it must not be, it can not be.
1t cannot be the province of educa-
tion to replace normal human beings
with another set of men as unfeeling
as the pitiless stone. 1t cannot be the
province of education, by retiring God
and substituting an impersonal law to
make of this world of stern realities
a mere theatrical show and to make
of its students despairing spectators
of the would-be empty tragedy of life.
1t cannot be the province of educa-
tion by teaching determinism of the
will, to dry up the fountains of noble
impulse, and lofty endeavor-the love
of God, of country, of fellow men, and
to make utility the sole measure of
action or of inaction, of right or of
wrong. Finally, in case of Christians,
it cannot be the office of education to
take away the living, vivifying and
divinely inspiring Christ, and to sub
stitute mere man, perfect as Greek
statue, lifeless and cold as the marble,
of which statues are made. Such an
education is given in certain quarters
abroad and imported into certain quar-
ters at home. 1t is not standard Of

Then ew captain has been left tackle
OF the eleven for two years and was
one of the best players on the scrub
team IN his freshman year. No other
varsity player opposed him and Man
ager Miller cast the unanimous vote.
Of course the new leader was called
on for speech and he assured the
banqueteers that he would do every
thing to beat Central by bigger score
next year.
Dr. Charles B. Eager, Jr., principal
OF the school, congratulated the eleven
on Its performance and said that Tech
could be proud of the fact that there
were no "tiunks' on the team. Prof.
Gru'ob, faculty athletic advisor, said
that the big game had netted the school

balance of $1,000.
Captain Beck, hero of Thursday s
game, spoke. He disclaimed credit for
the victory, giving it to the team as
a whole and to former teams, whose
inspiration was the spur necessary to
have to work for winning team. Coach
Dunkle praised the squad for their at
tentlon to practice and thanked the
school for its support. George Cockill,
manager of the Harrisburg baseball
club and last year s coach of the Tech
eleven, got in late and had to make a
speech. Many ethers spoke and the ban
quet closed with the singing of Tech
songs.
