Good Students

Monteagle, Tenn. Aug. 90 CA. PD
In the heart of the Tennessee
mountains there is school-the DIl

students argue over the Pauline

on their overalls; where a man
chants Latin verbs to the swish of
his broom, and the engineer at the
sawmill talks classic Greek with his
fellow workers.
Out in the truck garden cabbages
are cultivated amid discussions of
second century heresies, and funda-
mentaliSm versus modernism is
threshed out over the milking of the

wagon. and wound up by playing a

The school is an unique institution
where men. long since past school
age, but wishing to fit themselves
for clerical orders are trained for the
ministry. They are poor men who
come to this school. which is named
after an Episcopal divine. There are
two eXsailors among them, one or
two with army experience, some
clerks, mechanics and farmers.
The school is cooperative. There
are no tuition fees, and every one of
the students work at some occupa-

Gas Will Guage
Wars of Future

New York, Aug. % CA. P)-Whole
armies put to sleep and taken
prisoner in gas warfare is by no
means an impossibility 25 years
hence, Col. Raymond F. Bacon, chief
of the Technical Division of the
Chemical Warfare Service, A. f. F.,
says in a description of the posi-
bilities of the future art of war made
public By the American Chemical
Society.
The 100000 spent on the re-
search organization did more toward
winning the war, Col. Bacon asserts,
than any other s200,000,000 spent in
other ways. One of the greatest les
sons of the war has so far gone al
most UNDECIDED, according to Col.
Bacon, who continues:
ITO say the use of gas in warfare
must be abolished is almost the same
as saying that no progress must be
made in the art of warfare toward
making it more efficient or more
humane. If one reads of the great
battles of history, one will find that
the victorious general conquered his
enemy usually because of the fact
that he so chose his position as to
have his flank protected by river.
mountain range or some naturally
strong barrier
Much of the strategy of these bat
ties consisted in manoeuvering so as
to obtain the advantage of position.
With the use of gas it is possible
to saturate a piece of ground so that
no troops can cross it. and thus
make an artificial barrier for the
flank or protect the lines of com
munication. Moreover these arti-
riers for just as short time as the
strategy of the particular battle de-
mands. These are but hints, but
show the tremendous unexpected
possibilities of gas in warfare.
"Onc can easily imagine the situa-
ton at the time the fighting was
hand to hand with the spear or the
sword, and gunpowder was first
introduced, which in those days per-
haps permitted the antagonists to
fight at a range of 100 or 200 yards.
There must have been a great cutlery
as to prohibiting the horrible new
mode of warfare, and it must have
been felt that it was very unfair to
stand off 200 yards rather than to
meet in combat man to man.
But no one looking back on that
period would attempt to say that it
was possible 10 nave stayed the mana
of progress and to have prevented by
any legislation or agreement the use
of gunpowder in warfare. More
over the consensus of opinion today
would be that the hand to hand
fighting with spear and sword was
more cruel and inhumane than the
fighting with the gun and the bullet.
Similarly. at the present time we
cannot effectually stay the progress
of science, and to attempt to do so is
not only unwise but is also prevent
ing the possibilities of a really more
humane type of war"
