Mr. Albertson spoke on "The Superintend ent To Be," Mr. Sims on "Better Re sults by Better Co-operation," and Miss Ma gee on "The Challenge to Re ligious Education." Those who heard the address of Miss Magee counted themselves wery fortunate. Miss Xlugee stated that all normal persons are born with a four fold nature a physical, a mental, a social and a religious nnture. Pln- tarch said he had discovered peoples without government, without an edti- cntionnl system and almost without, food or clothes, but . he had never found a nation that did not worship something. "A well rounded education includes the development of all four natures. and a person who has only one of these natures trained is a one-sided erson. and an undeveloped nature has a ten dency to die. This is true of t1'" '" lfgions as well as the other nature. The child of the North American In dian Mother will worship the Indian mother's god, Buddah, Mohammed or Jesus Christ, largely according as it is taught. "The first challenge comes to re ligious education because all men are born with a religious nature that should be developed ao that the per son will accept and worship the Christ. The second challenge comes been use It is, a dangerous thing to train a child mentally and not spir itually. Germany trained men men tally to a much greater extent than spiritually. The result was a world war and atheism. America is neg lecting religious training There nre said to be more than eleven million children under l.'l years of age, and thirty-seven million young people un der twenty-five years of age in North America receiving no systematic re ligious education.
