Professor to Open Catholic Lectures Here First of Series Is Set for Civic Theater at 8 Tomorrow Night. Dr. Mortimer J. Adler, professor at large at the University *of Chicago and a prominent figure among young American educators, is to open the International Federation of Catholic Alumnae lecture series at 8 tomorrow night in Civic Theater. ' Probably the only professor in the country not officially connected with some department, Dr. Adler teaches philosophy of law, psychology, a special junior course with Prof. Malcolm Sharp of the law school, a seminar with Judge Hinton, and an honors course, “Classics in the Western World,” with President Robert M. Hutchins. Although he has been associated with the “new plan” of progressive education at Chicago several years, Dr. Adler believes firmly in a general classical education. Real progress, he believes, lies not in disregarding the classics, but in modernizing the method of teaching their fundamental truths. What seems “ultra modern” often is a revival of the finer points of medieval educational systems, he maintains.

Plato Influenced Him It was a second-hand copy of Plato’s dialogues that sent Dr. Adler on the road to scholarship. While reading the biography of John Stuart Mill, young Adler discovered that Mill had read sll of Plato at the agepf 5, whereupon he decided that at 17 it was high time he began to learn something of the dialogues. He read them going to and from tha New York newspaper office where he was a copy boy, and decided that philosophy was better than editorial writing, his burning ambition at the time. Graduated from Columbia, Dr. Adler joined the teaching staff and later became professor of philosophy and psychology. Since he has been away from New York he has returned to Columbia each summer to carry on his research and writing. He says that he is “conditioned” to the campus, and can do his best work there. Dr. Adler has concluded from Chicago University’s progressive educational policy that students are the most conservative persons in the world. His classes, particularly the honors course with Dr. Hutchins, are conducted in a round-table manner, with the instructor stimulating discussion. Beginners, he says, are puzzled when objective truths are not passed out to them wholesale. When they get in the swing of the new system most of them find it of great benefit, but, says Dr. Adler, “it takes an educational revolution to arouse them out of their routine.”

Boy Scout Troop to Give Demonstration Boy Scout Troop No. 23 is to give a demonstration at the First Friends Church this week as the second in a series of Friday Church Night programs to continue through April 10. Following a. business meeting on March 20, the Rev. O.

Benson, superintendent of the Methodist Hospital, again is to address the Christian Men Builders Class of the Third Christian Church tomorrow morning, on the subject, “Serpents and Walking Sticks.” Merle Sidener, the regular teacher, is to return from a vacation in April.

Evangelism, Mission Work Needed, Belief Chairman Gives Conclusions of City Church Commission. BY THE REV. WILLIAM F. ROTHENBURGER Paslnr of the Third Christian Church and Chairman of the Commission on the Citv Church of the Indiana State Pastors' Association. A generation ago, the city church was charged with having too limited a program, consisting largely of worship services. It was thought to be unconcerned with community problems. Its buildings, representing huge investments, stood idle a large part of the time. Whatever justification there was in these charges, they can not be truthfully made today. Many churches are seldom closed. Besides effective worship, their programs consist of dramatics, athletics, education and many other types of cultural expression. Both ministers and laymen are taking a prominent part in the welfare work of the community. Indeed, the pendulum has swung so far in this direction that some churchmen have suffered spirtual impoverishment. The pendulum must now swing back and be halted at a point of greater balance. New emphasis must be placed upon the spiritual, missionary and the evangelistic elements. The city church is composed of % moving procession of people. The membership is fluctuating and the turnover is consequently considerabJe; Tll is is due to the migratory spirit of the modern city and to the consequent shifting of social and economic tides. It is also due in part to a shallow conception of church relationships. Therefore, church membership must be made more dignified and meaningful. It is evident that the influence of a congregation is more dependent upon the ynamic quality of its program and membership than uj>m its numerical measurements. A close analysis of the city church reveals the fact that some of its program has been completely out-* moded by the changes of the last generation. The following convictions prevail among leaders: That each congregation must adapt itself to its own field; that the efficacy of its work depends less upon the number of its services than upon their power and motives; that a sane spmtual. evangelistic and missionary spirit should always prevail* that the church should not allow itself to be deflected from its supreme purpose, namely, to spiritualize civilization. The commission was unanimous n the belief that the average modern city is overcrowded with churches. The two hundred different denominations and sects divide and dissipate the strength of Christianity. The inevitable result is competition rather than co-opera-tion. While there is still much dogmatism abroad, by far the large majority of Christians are less concerned about maintaining the denominational status quo than they are about creating a Christian social order. Many leaders are feeling that co-operation should supplant competition; that the closer unity of bodies whose theology and polity arp similar should be encouraged, and that ultimate organic unity should be kept in mind.
