broadest oundation-Biblicai. scientific and expert
mental An increasing number of their faculties
are deeply interested in practical religion There
are still q few who define religion as q ghost fear or
rs simply the product of the human mind, but as an
astute observer has recently remarked, They are
rapidly being educated by contact with their well in
formed students Many of the faculties in these in
stitutions are leaders of voluntary Bible and discus
sion classes. In Iowa State University, for example,
there are. over 700 students enrolled in such classes.
Some of the most effective teachers of religion are the
professors Of theoretical and applied science. Two
State university presidents told me that the principles
that guided them in the choice of instructors were,
first. mastery of and ability to teach their subjects,
and second, the power SO to interpret them that they
would strengthen rather than weaken the faith Of the
students
"In connection with ten or twelve of our leading
State universities there are also growing up union
schools of religion which eouelate the work of the
Christian Association secretaries, the student and
local pastors, the university churches and the relig-
ious education for which in many State institutions
full credit is given toward graduation. At certain
are also being taken to correlate the religious and
social courses in the curriculum and to supplement
them SO as &c provide at least the equivalent Of the
first years work in the theological seminary or social
training school
From the bold and successful experiments in re-
lgious education that are being tried in the great
State universities of the West and South, Yale and
the other universities in the East undoubtedly may
learn much They, like the State institutions, are
and a new and vastly broader conception Of educa-
ton and religion. Their lasting contribution to the
needs of the new age VIII be largely determined by
the way in wtich they meet these new problems, for
the final test of every educational institution is the
moral and religious character of its Students"

EURoPEs DEBT TO AMERICA.

It Is interesting to know the views of leading
English and French journals on the American claim
for maintaining her mmy of occupation on the Rhine
since the close of the war. The Americans were
there at the urgentrrequest OF the Allies, who argued
that the presence Of American soldiers in Germany
would produce less friction than the soldiers of any
other nationality. Reviewing the subject Of the
American claims for reimbursement the Manchester
Guardian, one Of the ablest and fairest Of English
Journals says;
"The Americans do not lack a grim sense Of hu-
NOR. They are owed by Europe more than there is
the slightest chance of Europe's ever paying. and they
choose the moment when an uncomfortable suspicion
OF this truth is beginning to sink in to enter an ad-
ditional claim for a share In reparations. But the
sums demanded by the other Allies from Germany
also exceed the maximum that can ever be paid, so
that the latest American claim seems to be at two
removes from the possible. Since the United States
Gid not ratify the Treaty Of Versailles her legal posi-
ton is obscure, but it seems to be generally agreed
that she has rights which, If exercised in full, would
make a considerable hole in the sums available for
the other Allies She claims, ut least, the right to re-
endorsement for the costs Of the Army of Occupa-
ton, which is more than the other Allies have vet
been able to get for themselves. The idea at the
back. of the United States demand is not altogether
clear. But one can hardly suppose that it Is the
money SO much as the recognition of her title to
the money she wants. When that has been accorded
she will have something further with which to BARGAIN
and with which to bring pressure on the Allies to
pursue a policy towards Germany, and perhaps to-
wards disarmament, more in accordance with Ameri-
can ideas. On the whole, that is likely to be a good
thing. Preparations and Europe's debt to America
hsng together, and no satisfactory settlement of
either IS possible which docs not include America
This latest move viii at least tend to make the Allies
realize that American help is Indispensable. They
were willing to blink at the fact SO long as the Cont;l
nents inability to pay the American debt could be
conveniently ignored. Now that the Americans ara
pressing for payment and showing that without their
goodwill even the collection of registrations from Cor.
many VIII be made more difficult it becomes clear
that a general reconsideration of both questions must
he undertaken and the TERMS discovered on which
america would be willing to assist in their solution"

Old Legal Fiction Must Go

the criminal management of the house
and that the offense was such as might
generally be presumed to be managed
by the intrigues OF the SEX.
I'm mother case. r. VS.. Cruise. a
woman was convicted with her aus
band of assaulting their child on the
tho ground only that tho presumption
OF coercion was rebuteed by the active
part taken by the wife on the f~crocious
III treatment of her child. 1t was In
this a $ that a dictum of Mr.. Justice
Burroughs was quoted, "that II n wife
was in company with her husband the
law always presumed her to DO under
his control. though the jury. being
married men. probably knew that the
contrary was often the fact
"A quite opposite view was taken in
another case. r. vs.. Price. in which a
woman charged with her husband with
uttering counterfeit coin was. by di.
rcction of the presiding judge. ac
quilted on the same presumption. and
In tho s. OF r.. VS.. Torpey tassault)
a similar course WAS followed. All this
tends to show hat the decision OF
cases in which the defense OF coercion
has been raised rests largely upon the
facts OF the case actually under con
sideration.
III this conclusion Is accurate how
Ear can tho presumption of coercion
properly be applied under present and
probable future conditions7 Having
regard to the provisions of tho repre-
sentation Of the people act, 1918, and
of the sex disqualification (removaD
act, 1919, can 1t reasonably be argued
that n married woman must in com
hitting a criminal act Jointly with
her husband be deemed to act under
his coercion7
"Supposing. that a wife is a parlia-
mentary e~lector. and in that capacity
capable Of influencing legislation Is II
to be assumed that she Is not RESPONSE
IL to the laws which she has indirect
ly made? Again. consider the case of
n wife who happens to be n peeress, n
member of parliament, a doctor OF
medicine. or. as may shortly be the
case. n barrister at law. Would any
sensible person maintain hat IL n wife
so qualified be charged with her hus-
band with "A, criminal offense she
should receive the benefit of the fic-
ton of coercion and be acquitted,
when. as a matter of fact. the hus
band devoid OF such qualifications
may even have aiken counsel with
his vito before they together embarked
on their n~efarious scheme?
TT Is a truism that privileges and
responsibilities of citizenship must &c
hand in hand. INT It is difficult to un
derstand why in, these days a woman
should. simply owing to her married
state, be legally Irresponsible for her
criminal acts. The present state OF
the law upon this subject is uncertain
and anomalous and appears to be tc
a great extent opportunist-
"We suggest that the question OF
the responsibility OF married women
for their criminal acts. whenever and
however committed. should DO settled
once and for an, by Parliament"
