under a single head, does it not give promise that the advocate of 
socialized industries may yet hope to see his expectations to some 
degree realized ? 
In conclusion I would add a word on another issue, which is 
following in a far different field as a result of our scientific progress. 
I refer to the large share which matters scientific and industrial now 
occupy in our national systems of education. ‘‘Schools Scientific ” 
and ‘‘ Schools Technical,” is the present burden of our educational 
song. That these should occupy a large space in our national sys- 
tem, no one can deny. If the purpose of the school be to prepare 
the child for filling his place in the social organism, then surely these 
great industries and processes which have so much to do with our 
social life should not be shut out from the school curriculum. Ought 
we not, however, to ask ourselves whether in our zeal we may not be 
overlooking other phases of this problem? Let us not forget that 
the world moves at least not less through moral than through physi- 
cal forces. When we find that in our great schools and colleges our’ 
students of Greek language and literature, the great source and foun- 
tain head of moral truth and beauty, when I say we find that these 
students may be numbered upon our fingers, should we not ask 
ourselves whether we are not thinking more of meat than of life, more 
of the raiment than of the body. ? 
Let us not forget that above all things we are laboring for 
moral and spiritual freedom ; that high ideals and lofty sentiments 
are the greatest inspiration of a nation ; that only when the heart is 
filled with the music of humanity shall we find a soul that is truly 
noble, and an influence that shall never die.
