What unhallowed hand ia it that has turned science into the channels of destruction and death? It is the hand of the profiteer, the hand of greed I Profit and greed are the reasons for science bringing such messages of despair.

The field of the churches is the great and world- - wide field of because faith which today lies barren and drouth-stricktoo much attention has been paid to the things of Ceaser and too little attention to the things of God.

During that tim. better methods of teaching came to the fore, and secondary education was brought within the reach of more people. True, the three Ys were taught from early ages, as were language, music, philosophy end religion. But it is only in the more recent years that one has gone to ichool to learn a trade or a profession. Previously one served an apprenticeship in a shop, or with a doctor or a lawyer, if he wanted to become a tradesman or a professional man. Something one hears little about today among the trades and nothing about among the professions, except among the lees progressive peoples of backward nations. From the early ages there have been schools. Hie first teacher were the religious leaders, and the first subjects taught were mainly religious. Their books were but scrolls or bulky day or metal tablets. In time other subject were taught; but, up to the fifteenth century, schooling had progressed but little beyond its elementary phases. The enwimg of books as a result of the invention of printing during the fifteenth century, together with an increased interest in science awakened during that period, marked the beginning of our modem educational system.
