AT THE GOODMAN THEATER Tw'o new plays are billed for the Goodian theater to be given l.during March. ý"Tbe Good Hope". by He r- tmann Heijermans will be produced by the Goodmnan theater players on Fr1- day, *March 25, witb a matince.

Those who follow th1e dis- cussion, Dean Inge states, are "struck bNy the courtesy witb which it bas been coniducted." Each bas, apparently, the utmnost respect for, the other.

He argues the is sue pro and con with à full underkstandi zg of hoth subjects. It is easy, lie says, for people to deny a conflict between science and religion. "Render to re-, ligion the. things that are reIigion's, and to science the things wbich 'are science's. But this solution can com- mnd itself only to those who do all their serious thinking in one field, and do not want to be worried about any othicr. A religion whicbi does not touch science, and a science which does îiot toucb religion, are mutilated and, barren." Pr. Malinowski, professor of an- tbropology, at Londonx un iver.sity, argues tbat among savage people re-. ligion is often an advantage evenr t-hougb connected- witb superstitious beliefs. He admits that be is .an ag-. nostic because witbout a personal God and the belief in immortality lie cari- flot conceive of a living religion, and neitber of these trutbs bave been re-, vealed to hlm. Julian Huxley, professor of zoology at King's cotiege,.
