An Educational Number

By Editor

The Signs of the Times Monthly for August will be pre-eminently an educational number. The subject will be introduced by a short plea for the cause of education, and also for the student agent who is selling the magazine. Hence it will be a number particularly helpful to students working for a scholarship. It will give them, as well as others, an opportunity to talk of the great principles of education, in which every one is, or should be, deeply interested, and which can be made to tell for the great cause of education.

Half-tone illustrations of some of our leading colleges will appear in connection with the articles.

In addition to this special feature, there will be articles on the various phases of the message, and the usual number of pages devoted to current topics. Among these is an especially interesting account of the great things in the development of air-ships.

Following are the titles and a brief outline of some of the leading articles:—

“The Ideal Education,” by Prof. Frederick Griggs, president of Union College, College View, Neb.

“The Essentials of Education,” by Prof. M. E. Cady, president of Walla Walla College, College Place, Wash.

“Christian Education: Its Definition,” is graphically outlined and described by Warren Eugene Howell, associate editor of Christian Education, Washington, D. C.

“Education for Service,” by Elder W. A. Spicer. Here the contrast is drawn between true education and the wrong standards so often held up before the young people of the day.

“Hell: Where Is It? What Is It?” by Elder R. A. Underwood. This article severely arraigns the old blasphemous doctrine of an eternally burning hell, and should have a wide reading.

“The Reformation in Bohemia,” by Mrs. E. G. White, gives an account of the martyrdom of Jerome.

“Is History Repeating Itself?” This is the third in a series of articles by George A. Snyder on the Protestant regeneration.

On the whole, the August number of the Signs magazine will be one of the most attractive, most interesting, and most important numbers ever issued. It presents a grand opportunity for young men and women to earn a scholarship in one of our educational institutions, and at the same time place the truth for this time in the hands of the people.
