Modern Education

By Editor

In another column will be found an article giving the impressions of the National Educational Association upon a conscientious Christian teacher. It will be seen by the reports of that meeting, as well as from many of our great universities and schools, that a marked feature of ethical teaching is "evolution." "Politics" under the guise of "patriotism," "expansion," and "imperialism" is poisoning and corrupting the whole educational system, and turning the minds of students to the superficial. The educators are looking for earthly results, and are obtaining them, and will obtain them. The Christian must seek a higher education. His goal must be the knowledge of God. The highest science is to know God. The noblest work, wrought only by such knowledge, is the building of an eternal character. How vastly more important is this, Christian parent, than the sophistries of uncertain "science." And, more, the science of God includes all true science.
