Much of I hi* kraatigBtion has been mad* by the medical doctor* hi their effort* to find a way to cure di*eaa*. la every part of the country there •re men who are called acientiata who are working patiently, making m veatigation* and experiment* In their effort* to find a way to conquer sock The*e men who are doing thi* scientific work are practically all •freed on the fact that the way* of life are the way* of growth and de velopment. Thi* growth and develop ment ha* been named Evolution. These scientist* have worked oat all kind* of theorie* aa to how the prev ent state of the world wu brought ■boot. They all agree that it requir ed long period* of time to make the world and what i* on it. Many of their theories are rejected by other ecientiat* of equal standing for learn ing and insight into the way* of life. Bat they all agree that the world was made by a long process of the work ing of natural law*. Thi* they have namwi evolution. There are many who claim to ^tee great evil in the trend of the inves tigations that are being made. Those who oppose the scientist* would hu*h them up by making it a violation of •tote law to utter such teaching Ten nessee passed soch a law a few months ago. A young teacher, Prof. Scopes, is charged with violating thi* taw. Now the Scientist* are defend ing him for the reason that they are not willing to allow such a law to re main on the books, for they claim that it is a violation of the constitu tion of both the atate of Tennessee and the United State*. So the real fight i* to have thi* law declared un constitutional. and if the Scientist* can do this then no other state will enact such a law. If the Scientist* lose in the trial It i* probable that all the southern ■tote* and many of the western state* will enact similar laws. It i* esti mated that a* many a* twenty state* in the Union will pa** aimilar law* if pM Tennessee law i* permitted to etond. t The Scientist* contend that th. ir investigation* are for th< gjod if humanity aid that th<*re I* not ung detrimental to mankind in an; *ay aa the result of wi n* they teach, but that ther> has dev eloped untold goo 1 to mankind from the lnveatjgaU ' ■ they have made, and all these inveotl grvtions are worked oat along the Hues of the troth of evolution.
