McDade, now an assistant superintendent, but formerly principal of the Wentworth School, Chicago, Christian Science Churches "Christian Science" was the subject of the lesson-sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, Decemher 30. The golden text was, "The Lord hath made ·bare his holy arm :n the eyes of all the nations; and t.tll the · ends of the earth shall see the ~alvation of our God" (Isaiah 52 :10). Among the citations which comprised the lesson-sermon was the follm":ing from the Bible: "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were Q?. Ssed away; and there was no more sea. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shaH be with 24). them, and be their God. . . . And the r.!~~~~~~~~~~~~~:l nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it" (Rev. 21 :1, 3, t . ' The lesson-sermon also included the following passages from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy : "This city of our God has no need of sun or satellite, for Love is the light of it, and divine Mind is its own interpreter" (p. 577) . .

Y., School as worked out by Mr. McDade, on Thursday, January 3. en1phasizes both the socialized and the ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ individualized techniques. The method of the 30ciali?-ed activity is well ~dapted to a certain type of subject matter content, such as English, geography, history, and civics. "The traditional lesson-hearing type of recitation may be likened to a parade ground where the aggressive pupil pushes himself to the front. He wants "to do hi s 3tuff." Frequently, in this kind of classroom situation artificiality and pomposity pass for precocity. Individualized instruction as conceived by Mr. McDade and his coworkers, afford3 an opportunity for the slow, timid pupil to find himself.
