No. 8 Tiie Acorn VOL. II. MAY 1910, % literar Kl'AMJ- '09 CHRISTIAN EDUCATION • Wm. Smith, A. B. In the makeup of man we find three elements, body, mind, and spirit. For a man to realize his greatest possibilities he must develop all his powers in right proportions. Our school system recognizes the first two elements and so develops physical giants, intellectual prodigies, but spiritual pigmies. The place and influence of religion in the life of the individual is excluded and so the perfect balance is lost. Religion is universal. There are no records of any tribe, however rude, that has been found destitute of religion under some form or other.

Education should help the voting person to realize all of his possibilities. Some may say that it is sufficient to teach history, languages, science, to bring the desired end. Produce a race of Miltons. Shakespeares. and Edisons and all will be well. Rut. it must be remembered that a pure type of citizenship will not conic from learning alone. Some even would say that religious culture is a thin veneer clinging to the outside of our civilization rather than a pillar. But any fair-minded person will agree that religion is more than a fungus growing on the exterior. The religion of any civilization must form an essential part of the education which is to fit men and women into
