AMERICA MUST BE PREPARED FOR WAR
 STATES DR. GR|GGS
Noted Lecturer Closed Week of Brilliant Lectures With a Special Address on
 Preparedness

The Griggs lectures comprising six afternoon numbers in the course on "The Philosophy of Education,' and six evening Dramas of Protest closed last night.
 This one week lecture course was inaugurated 10 years ago by, and has been continued each year since under, the auspices of the Birmir gham board of education. Edward Howard Griggs has been a conspicuous factor in the history of the course. It is noteworthy that he delivered the first years se- ries in the course and was such fla vorite that he was returned for seven successive years. The eighth series was delivered by Mr Zubelin and the one of last year by MT. Earle Barnes. MT Griggs has grown in popularity and prestige in the lecture field dur ing the 10 years and it is the general verdict that his work in the series of the past week far eclipsed any of the previous courses delivered by him in Birmingham
 More than a thousand people heard MT. Griggs Saturday morning in The Protest Against Yielding to Fate Calderons Life Is a Dream"
 THE WORLD AND ETHICS
 In response to many requests the Lyceum committee secured Mr. Griggs consent to give Saturday night his new lecture on "The World and Ethics" The speaker dealt With the inevitable recon struction of ethical standards which shall be compelled by the present war, and discussed the responsibilities which rest now and must increasingly rest upon the United States in international relations America must prepare for the exegen- cies of self ydefense, he declared, If she is to fulfill her God-given mission among the nations of earth'. Referring to the unofficial copy of the note from Germany in answer to President Wilson's S recent ultimatum, the speaker declared that what we want from Germany is an admission of criminal and inhuman wrong doing perpetrated by her since the inauguration of her frenzied policy of submarine warfare, which we have not obtained; reparation in so far as repara tion is possible for the injury wrought which we have not obtained, and a bona fide promise of amendment.
 We have received the promise; it's good faith shall determine the outcome, he sde- clared.
 MT. Griggs goes from Birmingham to Pittsburg, where he will deliver the same lecture given here last night Monday evening, and will speak there Tuesday night, having for his subject, ''The World War and Social Philosophy.
 | Dr. c. A. Brown said last night that he had nothing but satisfaction to express ,ol,;A l~.- annual course of lectures just closed T feel with the board of education a sense of very great appreciation" he said, ito the Birmingham public for the splendid support given in the course just closed, which made it easily the most successful of any since the institution of the plan 10 years ago.

Now is the Time Nor the Book Of Knowledge. The mother cannot be too careful during the earliest years about tho accuracy, truth and beauty of the pictures the child sees. the stories he hears, and the facts with which his little mind is fed From four to eighteen are the years of greatest need. when the child must create the habit of reading and acquiring knowledge at first hand. During the per iod of school life parents have found It necessary to purchase many different books on different subjects. but THE BOOK OF KNOWLEDGE takes the place of all of these books, and has made for the child Q wonderful selection of the real ly important and essential knowledge Of the world. exactly suited to growing minds.
