Evolution Study
In giving me reading list upon
the subject, the library as been most
fair as both sides OF the subject are
included.
/ will give you in fun the follow
ing statement and suggestions as
prepared by Catherine Bailey Of the
public library:
There are few subjects more
moot today than evolution. II Is the
cause Of many controversies. Edu-
Gators are denied the privilege Of
teaching it in some States, because
ligion. The following course of read
ing presents the scientists as well
as the fundamentahst's point OF view
and also the stand taken by those
who feel they can reconcile the two.
1T is well to begin a study OF this
question with a general introduction
to the subject of biology. For this
we recommend Everyday Biology,
by ]. Arthur Thompson. It refers
briefly to most OF the phases OF
biology Of interest to the world to-
day.
Before studying the facts point.
ing to evolution IT is helpful to read
something on the story Of prehis-
toric man. A recent and very com
prehensive study Of this is Human
Origins by MacCurdy. It is in two
volumes and is very authoritative.
"One of the most readable non
technical explanations Of evolution
is to be found in Vernon Kellogg's
Evolution a small volume giving
its fundamental factors. its growth
and triumph. This was written for
those seeking an exact and authentic
knowledge OF the subject.

tons by Fl. c. King.
Now that you have ascertained
the nature OF the evolution theory
and looked into the belief OF the
fundamentalists. you are ready for a
presentation OF the theories Of those
who feel they can reconcile the two
situations. Where Evolution and
Religion Meet is the title Of book
by J. NJ. and M. f. Coulter. These
authors combine both outlooks in a
single view without injury to either.
The information is trustworthy, and
written from the standpoint OF
scientist.
For a treatment OF the subject
from the standpoint of two men
whose names are well.known in the
world of religious thought, Harry
Emerson Fosdick and Sherwood
Eddy, we suggest their book. Sci
ence and Religion, Evolution and

known as a sound contribution to
the literature on the subject I BE.

just now.

be found at the Public Library with
the exception of the one, but due to
the great demand upon them at pres
