me consequence is that the standard
ana methods of our political and
organized life are lower than those
oi our private life. There is perfect
consistency between the ideals NJ
those who glorify peace. and the aims
or those who would train every Am

tam peace in any time OF emergency
or danger. We are not getting anv.
thing like the social and public val
ues that we ought to be reaping from
our investment in schools and educa-
cation. Scholarship is not popular
in our universities and colleges. Ath-
letic life furnishes no proper outlet
because it is vicarious and uuasi-pro
fessional. A few young gladiators
monopolize the athletic activity of
our institutions, and the vast major
ity are taught to look on and yell for
the maintenance OF college or school
spirit.
Thus our great institutions, though
more and more costly in their an
pointments and maintenance, are
painfully aware that they are not pro-
ducing the results that ought to be |
manifest. Many of their students
a posaible majority--cannot write
a well-phrased or correctly spelled
letter. They do not know Bible. or |

marks to you, not only for your own
good but for the good it may do
others who might be inclined to ruth

of murder, but they have used the
tongue Of mercy in writing it with
recommendation to the mercy of the
court. Had not those fateful words
been placed in it / would now be

shown you the mercy that you did
not show Goodwin. There are al
