 ''No tax money will be used to support of the schools of religion, and they are to be free from sectarianism and denominstionalism.
 "The National Council is cooperat- ing with local forces in Michigan in establishing at Ann Arbor. the seat of the University of Michigan, with it's 10000 or more students, the first fully equipped school of re- ligion. It is expected that other similar schools will be developed at other great educational centers.
 "The entire movement is inspired by the widespread conviction that something essential is lacking in our modern civilization. and that the best way to meet the demands of youth for practical philosophy of life is to enable them to estimate rightly the relative value of the spiritual and of the material life; and that this task ran be accomplished most effectively h the great educational centers."

Our forefathers, who identified religion with sectar- ianism, wishing to insure freedom of conscience, placed constitutional bar. perhaps not unw isely, in nearly all the states, on ths teaching of religion in tax-suppoi ted schools, colleges and universities. As re suit the study of religion and ethics has been too much neglected: edu- cation has become exceedingly utili- tartan and materialistic.

1877, a lank and slatternly young
girl was bent over a porcelain
bathtub, scrubbing therefrom the
residuary tide.marks OF many
communal ablutions. Her head
was bent low over her work and

HE forced herself to laugh.
~ Already she was wonder
NJ ing If he would let
her put money into Rankin's
uplift scheme. But she. would
wait before touching on this
subject. He would think her
unduly interested in Richard him
self if she were to make such a
demand now.
There is another thing I must
talk to you about, dear GIRL"
Muir said after a moments
silence. ''It is the reading Of
your fathers win. When do you
want to hear it?'
''At any time-the sooner the
better" Winifred replied.
Mr.. Dayton, your fathers
lawyer, knowing that / was COM
ing here this evening, offered to
come with me and read the will
to you. He preferred that every
thing should be done in the reg
ular and formal fashion-after
which the will can be admitted
to probate. I told him 1 would
prefer asking you If you would
care to have him come now. II
you do. not object, / win tele-
phone to him.
Yes, please do" said the girl.
Matters were not a bit as she
had supposed they would be, she
told herself, while Muir called up
Samuel Dayton, who lived near
by and asked him to come around
within the hour. She had taken
it for granted that 1t would be a
simple thing for her fathers
property to be handed over to
her. Instead, the lawyer had to
be here. Then something else
had to be done-something that
Donald had called admitting the
will to probate.

Muir announced, turning away
from the desk at which he had
been telephoning. ~ am wonder

to have me tell you something
about the contents OF the will
before Dayton reads it to you.
1t may be a bit easier for you
If I do this"
"Just as you think best" Win
fired agreed. What do you mean
by its being easier for me? Is
the wording of the thing hard to
understand"

slowly. "But-I do not know
what your idea is of your fathers
financial condition. I fancy.

You were all he had. And he
wished to spare you anxiety.
For, Winifred, your father was
not rich man. No, do not be
startled. He left you plenty to
live on-but 1t is only fair to tell
you that you will not be rich"
The next hour was a strange
one to Harrison SCOTS daughter.
AS she listened to the read
ing of her fathers will she
felt as If she were acting a
part. The legal phrases held little
meaning for her. Yet she sat with
her eyes fastened on the lawyer
from the time he read the opening
