been produced by breeding; that the
spineless cactus, for instance. proves

' the possibility of transition from one
.. form to another.

, . ,‘Third: That the humtm body re-
tains rudimentary organs which are
survivals of organs, once function-

ing, but now useless; for instance
the pineal gland is regarded as an

atrophied from of what was once a

useful third eye in extinct reptile

predecessors of man.

._ Fourth: The pro-natal develop-
ment of the human body parallels
évarious adult stages of lower organ-

isms, roughly comparable to worms.

growths the result of special creav
tion, or did they evolve from basic
law of change. which constantly
challenges inertia and forces con-
tinuous adaptation lOW'illd some for
goal—man or some creature yet to
come?

There is evidence that the Egypt-
ians puzzled over this question—not
as we have clarified and defined it.
but with a deep realization that
here were the diverging roads in
man's progress toward an under-
standing of the universe. When
i'sametichus opened the ports in
Egypt, in 583 B. C.. the Greek phil-
osopher Thales brought back from
Egypt dimly recorded conjectures
that life and the physical universe
marked a gradual emergence fronl
some basic unity. This view reap-
pears again and again in Hellenic
and Itoman speculative philosoth.
but does not find clear definition un-
til after Bacon and the Italian phil-
osophers who had proceeded him
had laid. the foundation for the mo-
dern inductive methods of scientific
research.

other Studies Affected

The acceptance by science of the
inductive method is of the utmost
importance in the story of evolution
as it is based on generalization from
known and observable facts. and to
the limit of these facts. instead of
deductions from accepted or tradi-
tional generalizations. As modern
science is based on this method. it
is the contention of the evolutionists
that evolution must stand or fall
with the entire body of scientific
achievement, and that any legiti-
mate challenge of evolution must
attack only its basic data. and the
soundness of its conclusions. rather
than its agreement or disagreement
with accepted views. They maintain
any attack which would overthrow
all modern science. as such an at-
tack would draw the Ilnie between
the old deductive religion and phil-
osophy and the newer inductive
method.

So. from the viewpoint of the ev-
olutionists—of course the able and
brilliant controversialists who op-
pose them would not admit this-—
the tourney of Dayton field will
bring into the lists the old and the
new. Charles Darwin. they say, has
drawn a. line between the centuries.
and across it will contend the forces
of modernism and ancient tradition.
lf Thales. Arlstotid and 'ficrstes
should enter the arena, they prob-
ably would take their place in young
Mr. Scopes side of the glandstand.
Plato. with his mystic preoccupation
with “ideal counterpaits. " might
move over into Mr. Blyan' a section;
John Milton the great Jesuit I‘ather
Suarez. Sir John Lightfoot. brilliant
biblical scholar. and the great Glad-
stone would aiso take their places
on Mr. Bryan‘s side: Zenophanes.
thoughtfully fumbling bits of fossil
lsones of Syracuse. Steno, the great
Florentine anatomist and of course
Cutler and Agassiz would be with
Mr. Scopes. For, in truth, the cen-
turies are looking down on the.
little town of Dayton. Tennessee.

LONDON, July 2 (AP).——Revision
of the thirty nlile articles of the
Church of England is one of the re-
commendations contained in a re-
port by a committee of bishops. otho
er promin‘ent clergyman and laymen.
appointed by the Archbishop of
Canterbury to consider the failing
supply of candidates for holy orders.
has long been known that the
attractions of the ministry as a ca.
reer for y0ung men were becoming
increasingly less. and many parishes
throughout the country have been
faced with difficulties through a. lack
of clergynlen. There has also been a
marked diminution in the number of.
university graduates among the as-
pirauts.

The committee, reciting the causu
in the slump of applications for or-
dination, mentions the secularization
of modern life and education. short-
comings in the life and work of the
church itself. the low standard of
pay for the clergy which does not
oi'ter certainty of maintaining and
educating families and the intellec-
tual difficulties which many modern
young men encounter when called
upon to subScrlbe to the 39 articles
and some of the crccds.

The committee believes ‘lt_would
bring relief if it were decided that
the 39 articles were no longer sat.
ist‘actory as a statement for the pur.
pose of cssent and that restatement
of those principles is required."
The report also suggests giving
candidates gicuiti fleedom in sub-
selibillg-to certain clauses in the
moods. ‘

the members of the committee. up.

pends a note to the report with re-
ferance to the falling off in appli-
cations from the leading universities.
He states the belief that "the st-
mosphere of Oxford and Cambridge
today is largely secular and to a con.

CHICAGO, July 2 (APL—Ths

has been asked to buck John '1‘.-
Scopes in the forthcoming test of
the Tennessee Evolution low.

In a. resolution submitted to the
representatives of 10.000 teacherI
meeting here the federation “offers

are engaged in defending John T.

DAYTON. Tenn. July 2 (AP).—
Dayton. theater for the coming trial
of John T. Scopes. appeared undis;
tun-bed today by the absence of the
chief actor in Tennessee's evolution
drama. The young school teacher
visited at his home in Paducah.- Kon-
tucky. while preparations continued
for his trial on charges of teachink
evolution in violation of the State
law.

Dr. George W. Rappicyea original
prosecutor of Scopes. told The Asso-
ciated Press yesterday that a pub-
lished report that he had instigated
the evolution chargestfor publicity
purposes was without foundation.

“While I originated the case and
served at first in prosecutor in the
matter. I did it with no ulterior mo-
tive. My only object was to bring
About a test of the evolution law."

The report characterized by Rep-
pleyea. as erroneous was not car-
ried by The Associated Press.

Action by the National Education
Association at Indianapolis was ex-
pected on a resolution denouncing
the Tennessee Evolution law.

The proposed resolution in part
says:
