American civilization was established upon two institu- tions, the c h u ■■ c h and the church school. They were re- garded as the er - essence of culture and rii;ht living. Be- fore the Civil War most of the public schools in the United States and all of the colleges were supported by private subscription. These mstitutions also recognized religious training and C hristian living as the supreme end of education. Since 18S0 there has come into American education an amazing secularization. Toda) ' religion is to all significant purposes a non- existent clement in our educational system. In many institutions it is actually excluded by law. The result of this movement is now bearing fruit in skepticism, apathy toward things religious, infidelity, and social decadence. Walla Walla College continues the early American school tradi- tion. Within its walls religion is still the basic element of living, the motivating dynamic of all activities. True education is religion was the motto of its founders and is still the dominant purpose. Thus the College stands as a bulwark in a rapidl)- decaying social order. W. M. Landeen.
