Men to Teach Bows.

The Review: Many members OF
former generations got substantial
start in the old district schools under
the ministrations of some, crochety
dominic, who, perhaps, did not go
very far, but was thorough as far as
he went, and disciplinarian always;
who made keeping school his life
work and was proud of it, and en-
loved the respect of community
that was proud of him. With the
concentration Of population and its
attendant social adjustments, the day
of such characters has passed; but it
sometimes appears that their after
types are discharging their functions
with no such steadiness OF purpose
and success Perhaps these after
types know so much more that they
are above their jobs. Perhaps for
this reason, and because so many of
them are young women, with destiny
as wife and mother summoning them,
they look upon their teaching as a
temporary stage in their life careers
rather than as an important service
to society and an end in itself. With
Difference to thousands of good
women throughot the land, there
ought to be more men in the elemen-
tary schools, especially in schools
for boys. Boys are not, by nature.

Mental Laziness.


American Legion Weekly: Every
college professor knows that the
thoughts he projects in the classroom
are largely wasted. Looking into the
faces of the young men before him he
indifference, boredom, ., Impotence.
Day after day he is conscious that a
part of his audience is coated with a
crust of Indifference which he knows
he can never completely dissolve,
penetrate IT though he may occasion
ally by employing tricks somewhat
like photographer gaining the atten-
ton of a child. The instructor must
feel recompensed if he implants fair
proportion of his hearers. A certain
number of them he cannot reach. They
are not interested in his subject. They
have no particular desire to under
stand it. The mental effort demand
ed is too great
People generally are like the class
of the college professor. The bulk
of public demand is for instruments
of mental diversion, not for facilities
of mental improvement. Ten per
sons read the comics on page seven of
the afternoon newspaper TO one whe.
digests the story about the Polish SIT
uation on page one and the text Of
the presidential nominees speech on
page three. The lobby OF the movie
theater is damned with people wait
ing for seats. The public library
around the corner hasn't turned away
a patron since it was dedicated. Men
tai laziness is more prevalent than
physical laZfness.

rine of personal Immortality.
Canon Barnes is not only distinguished
clergyman and preacher but is also eminent as
a man of science. Seldom, indeed, has any min
lister of the gospel been entitled, as he is, to
write the letters E. r. S. after his name, signify
ing fellowship in the Royal Society Of London,
the greatest and most exclusive scientific society
in the world.
Where man who is learned both In science
and theology announces his matured conclusion
that evolution and Christianity are reconcllable,
SO far at least as the Christian doctrine OF con-
scious Immortality is concerned, the announce
ment must be received with profound satlsfac-
ton by innumerable ehurchgoers who have tired
TO harmonic Darwinism with the story of the
creation of man in the book OF Genesis, and have
been deeply worried because their inability to
do so seemed fatal to the essentials of Chris
tianity.
If man has been evolved from less developed
primates it is obvious, says Canon Barnes, that
the Genesis narrative of the fall is impossible.
Death he asserts, "did not come into the
world through human sin There was no first
man made in the image of God. Science postu-
lates some tribal group in whom human ration
atty began to dawn Human labor is part OF
the divine scheme by which progress is achiev-
ed; sin adds to it, but no cursing of the ground
followed from man s disobedience to God. f"
Children should therefore be taught, he urges,
what the leaders of Christian thought have
come to believe in regard to these matters;
namely, that the scriptural story Of the creation
and fall is mythical and of value only in an allie
gorical sense.
The light is breaking; we do not begin to-
realize how fast and in how many WAYS until
the fact is suddenly brought to our attention
by such notable outgivings as come from men
of the type and character of Canon Barnes

FAITH IN THE RAILROADS

tie cash in hand and their low
earnings ruined their credit. Con-
sequently they were unable to
keep their equipment in good
shape or to buy new rolling stock
and improve tracks to take care
of growing business. Under that
system the public paid the bill In
the shape of taxes poured into the
treasury, but nothing was given
in return.
Some critics say that the new
order of things in the railroad
world means that private owner
ship is on trial. It means moth
ing of the sort. All during the
war period and in the twenty
months of peace the government
had plenty of money with which
it might have helped the railroads
provide better service. But the
mixture of business with politics
in the operation of the railroads
killed all initiative. There was
no reward for anybody who i'm
proved the railroad service, unless
perchance he could collect his re-
ward in votes. And even in this
respect the railroad machine as a
vote getting machine was an awk-
ward, unwieldy thing, stirring up
reactions among the public which
suffered from the substitution Of
political strategy at the expense
Of adequate railway service.
The issue which remains is not
the trial of private ownership but
the speedy restoration of efficient
service. If the measures that
have been taken do not produce
the desired result 1t will be an
Indication that further regulation
and coordination of the roads un.
der private ownership is needed.
After the lessons of the last three
years nothing can happen that
would prove the wisdom Of again
putting the transportation systems
of the country at the mercy OF
political manipulators.

SCIENCE AND TEE SCRIPTURES.

People OF middle age see that within the
space Of their own brief lifetime the hight OF
truth has broken on the world to degree I'M
equaled hitherto in all the history OF mankind
During few decades which eliminated III the
shock of the mghtiest conflict IN human annals

awakening to the deeper meaning OF LIE nave

most imperceptible progress, spread over ages
humanity had previously made. During the
last half century philosophy and science, pa
tentIy Investigating the imponderable, nave
been spiritualized to notable degree. New
life has stirred in China and India and they are
waking to national consciousness Japan has
been vastly influenced by the best III western
Thought Darkest Africa has become limited
and lessening area. Cannibalism and slavery
have practically disappeared from earth. Edu-
elton has become almost universal IN many
lands
Here in America and in other English-speak
ing lands crecds have been liberaiZed to an
amazing degree considering how slow they
normally are TO change. Beliefs inconsistent
with the more enlightened conceptions OF deity
are fading out of sight. And that old-time
stumbling block, the alleged conflict between
science and religion is no longer a stone wall in
the path OF enlightenment. At the recent meet
ing in London of the British Association for
tile Advancement of Science it was asserted that
the modern teachings of science are accepted
by the Church of England and that it is no
longer necessary for one to believe in the scrip
tural story of creation and the fall of man in
order to be good Christian.
The principal proponent of this doctrine is
Canon Ernest William Barnes, of Westminster,
who preached a remarkable sermon before the
association on the fall Of man. The Adam and
Eve narrative in the bible, he says, is rejected
by the most competent scholars as unhistorical.
rNo bishop,' he asserts, ''no non-conformist
divine, no scholar or man of science of eminence
has come forward to deny explicitly that man is
descended from the lower animals
The canon himself expressly accepts the evo-
1uticnary hypothesis of the origin of all species
of living creatures, including man, but believes
that this assumption is consistent with faith in

New York Sun: For the inves-
tor who studies the bond market
as a barometer the action of high
grade railroad securities in regis
tering a substantial enhancement
in market value since the full res
toration of private control on Sep
TENDER / foreshadows vital inn
provement in railroad credit and
signifies a renewal of public faith
in private, competitive operation
under constructive regulation.
Because this manifestation of re
vived faith in the railroads follow
ed the $500, 100000 increase in
rates it should not be interpreted
as a Celebration of an anticipated
financial melon cutting. Rate in
creases of themselves mean moth
ing where there is no efficient
management. Higher freight
and passenger rates under govern
ment control did not improve rail-
road credit, because additional
revenue was merely the excuse for
additional expenditure. This was
but natural, for there are few ex-
amples where governments have
been as efficient in spending as in
collecting.
In 1917 the whole operating cost
of all the American railroads was
1880, 100000, which amounted
to just seyenty-five cents on every
dollar Of gross income or operating
revenue. Because of higher
costs of materials, higher wages
which had to be paid to enable
employees to meet the increased
living costs, and other factors
over which the railroads had no
control the operating costs gradu-
ally rose until in the first four
months Of 1920 the roads paid for
operating expenses 97.68 cents out
of every 100 cents of operating
revenue This left only 2.32 cnts
out of each dollar to pay such
charges as bond interest, taxes,
dividends, facility hire; rentals,
uncollectible revenues and sundry
other items.
1t requires no extraordinary
business knowledge to see that if
in 1917 the items not included in
operating expenses required about
25 cents out of every dollar, or
what was left after rs cents was
spent in operating expenses, then
the balance of revenue, amounting
to only 2.32 cents in the dollar, In
1920 was altogether inadequate.
The man doing business in the
smallest way, who uses only the
most primitive methods, knows
that he cannot maintain a going
concern unless he can show mar
gin of from Is to 20 cents on
every dollar of his gross turnover.
And yet under the inadequate rail-
way rates, with higher wages and
costs, the railroads earned only
2.32 cents.
This business farce, involving
billions and affecting the financial
and social activities of the whole
nation, was enacted under gov
eminent control. The railroads
were saved from bankruptcy only
because the taxpayers, through
the national treasury, furnished
the necessary money to cover the
margin which was not provided
by operating revenues. But the
money from the government was
paid only after the deficits had
piled up. The railroads had lit

Patriotic Americans will commend Senator
Harding for his stand against granting amnesty
to political prisoners. We have had too
many instances of this mistaken tenderness
during and since the war, and it is most fool
ish error on our part to countenance it.
Our so-called political prisoners are in prison
for opposing efforts in the war, for preach
ing the overthrow Of our government or for acts
committed with design to cripple our war work
or to bring about the overthrow Of the govern
anent No government can afford to tolerate at
liberty enemies of this kind. It would be sui
Icidal It would license rebellion. If man

change it by any other than constitutional
methods. he is an enemy of the country and
should be treated as such. Let the radicals stay
in prison. We are safer while they are there.
