"The Science of Man" the last
science to be studied, and it's posi-
bilitieS constituted the address of
DR.. John Herman Randall, pastor of
the Community church in New York
! City, before the Woman's Club in
the high school auditorium last
night, the occasion being the annual
guest night of the club.
Declaring that forty per cent of
the Americans are Morons, DR..
Randall spoke of Lord Northcliff's
answer to the question, what do
you think of Americans?" The an
swer was, "Oh, some of them have
sense, but most of them are extreme
ly stupid" We must not be spoken
of in that way, we must raise the
standard of u intelligence, said the
speaker. In the ~neWcoming science,
science of man himself should be
J last science. 1t is really only today
that we are studying man in a scien-
tific way, continued the speaker. The
great mystery in man is the leading
powers and it's possibilities.
The next great realm maj will
study shortly is tho realm of the air.
We will soon be lighting and heating
! our homes with q substance taken
from the air. In South Africa, where
! prickly pears grow wild, it has re-
| Gently been discovered that they can
extract some substance from the
pear which is used to better advan-
| tage than gasoline for motor ve-
hicles. After supplying all South
Africa with this new substance, there
is still left 300,000,0 00 gallons for
| export. Just think what this means,
said the speaker. Thomas A. Edison
says that science has gone as far as
to be able to destroy a city h size
of London in less than three hours.
The questios come up every day
What kind of a being Is man?
How can he have self mastery and
great control?" We do not know
and until we do, we cannot control
great powers. The study of man
is most ditlcult of all the studies,
and is being studied earnestly and
seriously in psychology. The word
psychology, applied and practical
psychology is the work to conjure
today. declared the speaker. We
haIe a real science of psychology,
but no general consensus Of opinion
about psychology itself.
In the first place we know the
real center of mans life is in his
conscience. Consciousness Is =

seriousness flowing in. 1t is only occa
sionally that we are able to con-
centrate our thoughts on idea
Conscience life in man is only the
smalles tpart of him. Under man is
the subconscience, which is far
more important than the conscience
life, continued DR.. Randall. Our
subconscious self in the storehouse
of our personal memory, and also
raca memory.
In an age like ours, with the
world disturbed, trying to find its
way out of difficulties, is the age
to have men with great control and
self mastery.
In concluding, Mr.. Randall said
that the watchword of today must
be Together" We have been sep
arated by government, selfishness.
littleness of spirit, prejudice, and
the world must be set in direction
of some kind of unity. We should
achieve that unity not separately,
but together for the richer and full
er life of all mankind.
DR.. Randall completely won his
hearers by his pleasing personality
and the excellent manner in which
he delivered the address.
In the musical part of the pro-
gram Miss Ethel Killion, soprano
with George Vause at the plano gave
as her initial number 'Ogni sabato
avrste illume acceso" by Gordigiani,
and Wool de Primeravera" by
Strauss. In her second group she
gave The little Coon's Prayer by
Hope, "The Life of a Rose" by
Carlo and Sanders. This song is by
the composers of "Tangerine' and

first time anywhere, and 'Sempre
liberia from La Traviata" by Verdi.
The concluding number was Der
ceuse from Jocelyn' by GODDARD, with
violin obligato by Mrs. Lester White.
