fortunately agnosticism or reli-
gious indifferentism has invad-
ed the academic mind, and the
intellectual compliment has all
but excluded spiritual values.
American colleges and uni
versities grew out of spiritual
aim and objective. The saliva
ton of the soul was valued more
beyond all consideration. The
motto of Harvard university,
our oldest and best known insti-
tuition Of learning reads; For
Christ and His Church." this
motto represents a curious sur

tude and tendencies Of Fair

application to industrial and

scanty regard to the higher

The steel and machinery that
go into a battleship, you see,
are only part OF the story--and
only part Of the expense.
II costs upwards of $4,000, 900
simply to make the necessary de-
signs and plans for a new bat
tleship. The job keeps from 500
to 500 men busy and may run TO
three or four years. In fact II
isn't done until the battleship
itself is done-and sometimes
not even then.
A battleship is one of the most
complex pieces Of mechanism
known to modern technology, and
every part of its construction
must be blueprinted and dia-
grammed with the greatest ex-
actness.
