JHEN von Humboldt was asked how to develop a great Prussian Empire, he
replied: "Whatever, you would put into the life of the nation, you must
first put into the schools of the nation."
This advice was followed. Militarism, the glorification of force, the idea of the Ger
man super-state, and the ethics of the jungle went into the schools. And when von,
Moltke led the triumphant hosts of Prussian militarism through the streets of con-
1 quered Paris, he remarked: "Behold the triumph of the Prussian schoolmaster." '

Christian Education ,Can Save the World
Over against Prussianism, Christian education accepts the
principle that right makes might and implants deep in the
soul the fundamental principles of religion love for God,
faith 'in Jesus Christ, justice, humility, love. J 0 1

world's salvation. It alone can produce a generation of
men devpted to righteous principles of personal, social,
national and international action. It alone can give us
$33,000,000 Christian Education fund will be raised between
Christian leaders to lead the world aright. It alone can
furnish men and women to do tho Christian work of the

world. The Christian Education Movement of the M. E.
Church, South, proposes to give America the best system
of Christian colleges in the world. Will -you back this
