THE SCHOOL OF RELIGION
"Religion—aw, hell, why speak of it?"
These were the opening words of an article in the Dove entitled "The Lowdown on Religion." They indicate the general student impression concerning religion. Even those who see the need for it dislike to discuss the subject or even to think about it. Nowhere has this been more in evidence than at the enrollment table of the School of Religion. May it not be so this year.
The school offers nine courses varying from general surveys of the Bible to special studies of its various phases. All courses are accredited toward the A.B. degree. In schools other than the College, students may select courses only upon the recommendation of the dean of their respective schools. The maximum amount of credit that can be applied toward a degree is three hours.
Why enroll in a School of Religion course? Mainly, in order to unify the stiphed facts learned in Sunday school into a definite idea of the whole Bible. Not until a person understands the organization and focus of the Bible, is he able to read portions of it intelligently. A single three hour course in the School of Religion can give this necessary foundation.
No one can be well educated without some knowledge of religious movements—their wherefore and why.
One warning—the classes should be entered with respect and sincerity. A relevant attitude should prevail.
He who acquires a spiritual background is able to carry out the material things of life the best.
AN EDUCATIONAL REVOLUTION
"The Revolt of a Middle-Aged Father" is the title of an article appearing in the Atlantic Monthly wherein is given a short but extremely intelligent resume of one man's opinion of our present educational system. I. M. Rubinow, d.h. and himself a member of the teaching profession, attacks the system as parasitic, aimless, undemocratic and declares that it is teaching the youth habits, which, instead of siding him in his later life, are actually a hindrance to him.
Foremost among these habits, says the writer, is the habit of leisure.
People are sending their sons and daughters to college with the hope that they will be educated. But their concept of education is far different from the education which they really get. The parents of the middle classes want their children to be trained so that they can go out and make a better living and make it easier than they themselves have been able to do.
"But what do they get when they come to college?" asks Rubinow. They become "educated," not trained. Educated in the arts and indulgences of the leisure rich so that when they leave college, for the most part, they are unit for anything except pure enjoyment of the universe, which, strange to say, soon loses its value as a source of joy.
Doctor Rubinow's solution seems the most mane and practical of all the plans yet formulated. It is simple: he would abolish "the ally, childish, antiquated, nonsubjacent academic title," which means nothing so far as true education goes. This would, without a doubt, revolutionize the educational
system. It would eliminate those who come for a degree rather than an education. It would invariably shorten the time spent at colleges by the average student. It would change the curriculum considerably.
some comment both pro and con has been written and spoken concerning the present educational situation. The opinion of Doctor Rubinow represents only one of a great many. The Kanman regards the subject as one worthy of calling for discussion.
A certain colored family in a Kansas town has recently called their
seventh child, "Plenty," Perhaps if they should ever have an eighth they would call it "Enough."
History will consider the Dole race a doleful waste.
