The modernists are helpless at pres ent against such onslaughts, because they are unorganized, lie sounds a call for organization, lest the whole country wake up one of these days to the realization that fresh thought and scientific freedom are forbidden. Anti-cvolulionist activity does seem to be increasin;;'. It may be that this evolution issue, which was supposed by sci entific folk lo have been I'oujdit out a generation ago, is still lo be decided in the t'nitrd States. Jf so, it is just as well to bring the issue lo a head and have a discussion of it as f i ee, full and fair as possible, in every part of the country. A good deal of the argument on both sides is beside tlie point. There is a vast amount of niisundei standing about evolution, and rtmsderahle misunderstanding, too, as to what intelligent modernists are driving at. The decision should rest with the sane middle-of-the-road class, who are inclined 1 lo be safely liberal in this country. Surely no typical Amer ican, of this or any oilier gnu-iMion, can want lo suppress freedom of thought and discussion, or hobble scientific in quiry and prog i ess. As for "teach in evolution." there is usually some doubt as tn what is meant by that phrase. If it means teaching in Ihe schools the dogmatic doctiine that man is descended from some particular type of niiimai, and insisting on belief in that doctrine, there is rihhI giound for objecting. If it. means merely leaching ehildien what is believed by evolutionists, as pari (if the general slock of in I'm mat ion of an educated per son, and letting' them I'm m their own conclusions, that is itlile another matter. And if that sort of information is fmbidden by law, we aie entering on a period id" meddle some, dangoious and un-American legislation. llZl.
