ical Liberty" "The Influence of there
formation on Commercial and Indus
trial Development" " Social Influence
Of the Reformation, . THE Reformation
and the Public School, DR.. Nicholas
Murray Butler, when asked for his
opinion of the celebration, said:
T recall to the mind of the TWEEN
teeth century the significance of the
great movement known as the Re-
formation is valuable public service.
The modern mind is threatened, as
was the mind of the sixteenth century,
with dominance of a philosophy of
life and religion which operates to
minimize the function and the free
dom of the individual merely cog in
the wheel of powerful and dominat-
ing group. The zeal and the individ-
ual's everlasting desire for expression
and for responsibility, which were
foreshadowed in European history by
Saint Dominic and Saint Francis, as
well as by Roger Bacon, and which
later found such an epoch-making
voice in Martin Luther, need to find
expression today.
The. tyranny which threatens the
twentieth century is not the tyranny
of any church, but the tyranny of a
majority in the state, a majority SO
constituted that it is not content with
guiding the ordinary business of gov
eminent but which seeks to conform
to a single and narrow type the oc-
cupation, the gains, the amusements
and the modes of living of every in
dividual. If the world needed a re-
ligious and philosophical reformation
ir the sixteenth century in order to
emancipate the. individual, surely it
needs 4 social and political reforma-
ton in the twentieth century for the
same purpose"
The eliminating point of interest
will be reached on Sunday, October
2S. Sunday schools will be attended
by about 100000 children, ministers
will deliver special Reformation ser
mons, mass meetings will be held in
the evening, and concerts and pageants
in the afternoon.

superintendent R. A. Brewer. of the

Bugg's official car and spent the day
attending to a number of A. E. and
A. matters in the city.
The visit of Mr.. BGggs was the first
one he has made to Brunswick since
his elevation to the vice-presidency
OF the company, and on all sides he
was cordially congratulated by his
Brunswick friends.
Vice-president Buggs, as we'll as
President Lamb. have always been
consistent friends of Brunswick, and
these tWo officials have responded
many times in the past to the cab
Of the Brunswick Board of Trade
when Brunswick interests were in the
balance
Speaking of railroad conditions
generally, Mr.. Buggs is very hopeful
accomplished some. lwondeful tasks
in the matter OF moving troops and
supplies and it it were not for the
wonderful cost of material and sup
plies the railroads would be earning
dividends.
Under present conditions. however
this is not the case, he says. and h"
feels sure that sooner or later the

afford the necessary relief,
With reference to Brunswick's
splendid growth vice-president Buggs

PSYCHOLOGICAL
SCHOOL. PROBABLE
iEARLY POSSIBILITY OF ESTAB.
LISTING MECHANICAL DEPT
FOR NIGHT SCHOOLS.

1t was determined at a meeting of
the Board of Education yesterday to
establish a night school, at least of
temporary design, 10 afford instruc-
ton to the several hundred new men
employed in the shipbuilding and
other industries of the city
The plan was tentatively adopted
upon the suggestion of Manager w. E.
Skinner, of the Brunswick Marine
Construction Company, and will be
put into effect as soon as practicable.
However, to properly establish tech
night classes of the various mechan-
les institutes throughout the coun-
try, it will be necessary to wait up
on Legislative interest and procedure
1t is agreed that no date prior to
next summer would be opportune t.
properly promote the better plan, at
which time essential data and suffi.
cient influence could safely be brought
to bear.
The matter of continuing the dou,
Bile session in the day schools was de,
cided upon, as such could not be just,
ly changed at this particular time nor
even prior to giving the system fair
trial Superintendent Ballard stated
that a change to the single session
would require an appropriation Of not
less than $4,000 at this time for ad
ditional teachers.
The matter of additional teachers
however, does not constitute the en-
tire reason for the double session
which, in the opinion of many who
have studied the question: also de-
serves experiment, at least.
Both matters concerning the session
and the proposed night school will
definitely settled by the board at its
next meeting.

DRY DEFENDERS ARE
NATIONS SAFEGUARD
Premier of American Medicine De-
clares Country Must Keep Liq-
uor From Soldiers.

We want to assure every father
or mother who sends a son to de-
fend the nation that the boy will be
safer in the army the navy or any
other department of military service
than he would be in his hom1 town,
so far as alcohol habits are concerned.
1t was the health of the boy as a SOL
der as we'll as the preservation of our
liberties, that we had in view when
we made the recommendation to con
gress to take alcohol entirely out of
reach of the army and navy.
This statement was made by DIR.
Franklin H Martin, of Philadelphia,
author of the recommendation put
into the hands of Secretaries Daniels
and Baker. to submit TO congress- the
national self-defense necessity of re-
moving alcoholic drinks from the men
in the public service. DR.. Martin IL
on the advisory council OF national
defense. DR.. Martin says;
This Is not prohibitory expedient,
but a self defense measure for the
efficiency of the service. Not all our
doctors are for political prohibition.
1t is the well-b being OF the youth we
look forward to. Still, the best argu-
ment that may be made for prohibit
ton Is that tho armies and the navies
OF the world develop the most efficien,
men without alcohol.
DR. Martin is the man TO whom has
been assigned the position of premier
of American medicine. He spoke
several times before the national
meeting of the American Gynecolog
lcal society. in session at PHILADELPHIA.
