which ha been th inapirntion of the

sir the great univeraity which haa pro

country at large, ha been eonaidcred
the moat lmmrtant explanation of the
truly remarkable aaainimllatlng power
with which we have imbued the mil
lion who have crowded to our ehore
with what we call "th American
Idea."
That waa up to five or aix yeara ago
Hut when th tragic cataclyam of the
unspeakable war broke over the world,
men began to inquire a to where we
hail failed in our education and train
ing, that w could be o vulnerable
aa to allow aurh a revereal of advanc
ed civilization, though we are well,
within th gateway of the twentieth
century of the Chriatian era. For on
II aidi-a our leader in education were
aaytng with confidence that we were
to well educated to make another war
toaible. They aaid w had come to
un.ier.und the folly of It, the waate of
It, th wlckednea of it. Yet It came,
ml th pathoa of It waa that it waa
th wont war our old world ha tver
known. Something muat have been
wrong with our education.
Careful estimating of th actual
rlble result of mia-education. Ilr,
Charles F. Dole wrote: "What w call
higher or liberal education ha broken
down. The univerailie of all our
great nation have failed.
They hav led and directed public
opinion, and they have woefully mis
directed and mia-educuted their pu
pil. The world la finding out that we
cannot have a bare aeculur education
by virtue of which leader, a yet
barah and overhearing, or unprincipled
and aelf indulgent, limy lie trained to
govern greut citiea, and run great or
ganiintiona, and ateer the ahip of
atate a aafu way amid the atrife of
tiatlona. There ia no education good
enough to lit a man, however gifted,
to lead and control lila fellow, to
aafeguard the welfare of the atate
which la not ateadied by a aupreme
fnith in eternal goodneaa."
I'reaident Nicholas Murry Duller,
of Columbia Univeraity aaid: "The
greateaU univeraitit-a are not those
having the greateat equipment. They
are thoae in which the procea of man
making ia going forward with great
eat devotion and energy, thoag in
which a trained real for truth conat-
antly diacovera itaelf in private and
in public action. Scholarship alone
la plainly uaeleaa aa a guide to con
duct. .Science alone la In th aame
category. The true end and aim of
a nation'a cxiatenr I the ahaping of
the conduct of men. Nothing eiae can
Jurtify the sacrifice that make a uni
veraity poaaible." It wil Thomaa Jef
feraon who aaid that the atat muat
educate, In order to train worthy citi
ten.
Here one more atatement from Dr.
John K Mutt, who haa touched the
atudent life of the world aa perhaps no
other man ha done: "It matter not
how well educated a man may be, if
ho goe out into the world with a cor
rupt heart, an ungoverned will, and
low ideal. II I menace to aociety
and a aourc of weaknea to th life
of hia nation. The apringa of con
duct muat be touched. Thia la only
tantamount to aaying the life and
aplrit and principle of Jeau Chriat
muat be brought to bear on all men In

' renewing of the inner life, before out'
er condition, can be permanently im
proved. Mere added knowledge has
i often made men more keen ami cun
ning; but not more noble in character,
or more worthy in citizenship.
And now we are facing the gigantic
tasks of reconstruction. Again men
are telling us that the big word Is
i "education." John Galsworthy recent
ly aaid: "Education ia the most sac
red concern, indeed the only hope of
the nation." Hut what kind of educa
tion? Shall it be the Mine sort that
' was developed for a generation lead
ing up to the war? Is it not the very
moment when the leaders of Christian
education should be heard with a vital
msaaago of compelling power to the
thinking men of the country? Shall
our earnest leaders concentrate their
thought upon all sorts of problems in-
! volved in readjusting conditions in the
realms of politics, of industry, of so-
I cial welfare, of international coni
nierco and international amity, and
fail to faco with adequate apprecia
tion nrid profound concern the necea-
tot J sity which has been made absolutely
clear, to put religious training in the
foreground of our effort to prepare
the rising generation for its gigantic
responsibility as it enters the citizen
ship of the world? It will not be pos
aililu for this young giant among the
nations to keep out of the arena of
the world's life. The God of nations
Is puahing u. into that arena as sure

youth of today must bo trained to be

It possible for America to bo the big
brother of every nation, seeking to

ship for the welfare of all mankind.
Who can best bring this compelling
message to the thinking men of the
country, so that they shall recognlxe
this need as tho supreme essential to
the future welfare of the nation, until
they shall no longer evade the neecs
sary program to put it into effect? '
