An Educational Number

By Editor

The Signs Monthly magazine for August will be preeminently 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. Here is a subject clearly delineated, which can be made practical. There are hundreds of teachers and the students who are actually working out, outlined in this article.

"The Problems of Education," by M. E. Cady, president of Walla Walla College, College Place, Wash. Another strong article on education, outlined in this article, in a complete way the things to be attained by every educator and every student.

"Christian Education; Its Definition," is graphically outlined and described by Warren Eugène 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. This article will be helpful and uplifting to all.

"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, and is another one of this regular series. This article is most thrilling, and will hold the attention of the reader to the end.

"Is History Repeating Itself?" This is the third in a series of articles by George A. Snyder on the Protestant regeneration. It gives some very significant historical facts that point very strongly toward a repetition of some of the mistakes and failures of the past.

Those who are following the articles in "Astronomy and the Bible" will be interested in the one for August, entitled "As the Moon." This article will be illustrated with five beautiful photographs of the moon as seen through a telescope. These show the mountains and valleys, the shining streaks, craters, and other interesting features of our satellite.

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 young 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.
