EDITORIAL. TUESDAY En:.'IXG DISCt'SSIONs.-Members and friends will read with

satisfaction the list of Tuesday Evening Discu sions on our Notice page, and Mr. J. ]. Murphy's introduclory comments (appended below) upon the programme he has so ably arranged will further whet the appetite of those who purpose attending. \Ye look forward to a successful revival of this very attractive form of meeting.

MR. J. A. HODSON.-Our readers will be pleased to learn that 1fr. ]oseph McCabe, Mr. H . W. :\evinson and Mr. . K . Ratcliffe have kindly promised to speak at the special oin!e on Monday, October 10,

held to celebrate Mr. J. A . Hobson's twenty.first birthday as a lecturer of our Society.

DE\1TI OF MR. W. H . R\DFORD.-Mr. Radford, who died in hospital on September 7 after an operation, i probably unknown to mos t of our members, but he h as rendered val uable service to the ociety for many years past in his capacity of Master Printer to the U topia P ress . The M . of our Month ly Record have every mon th passed through his h ands, and we hwe over and over again had striking evidence, not on ly of the care with which he has fu lfilled his duties, but also of the very friendly interest he has shown in setting up the proofs. IIe has frequent ly gone out of his way to confer' with us and with other officers of the Society upon the arrangement and pu blication of the material suppl ied to him, and we

4

personally owe him much gratitude for the able a sistance he has given us in our editorial work. 'Ye sincerely deplore his untimely death, and offer our sympathy to his bereavea relatives and to his colleagues on the " Clarion" staff.

TUESDAY EVENING DISCUSSIONS. Our Tuesday evening discussions commence on October 4, when

Mr. J. J. M urphy will raise the question; "Is Democracy Possible?" It is not expected that this question will be disposed of on that occasion, but there will be several opportunities of returning to it in the course of the session, when particular applications of democracy are being discussed. The subjects are not all political, however, as will be seen from the programme now in circulation. The divorce law, the treatment of criminals and the novels of Mr. H. G. Wells will be considered later on. The meetings are to commence at 7.30 and finish at 9.30 sharp. J. J. M.

MORAL EDUCATION CONFERENCE AT GENEVA.

The citizens of Geneva think so highly of Dr. E. Claparede, professor at the university in that town, that they have named a public thoroughfare after him. His work at the Institut J. J. Rousseau, and his volume on La Psyclzologie de I' Enfant, have made his name familiar to the more thoughtful teachers all over the world. It was this Dr. Claparede who presided over 30 to 40 men and women meeting in a preliminary conference for the planning of a full International Moral Education Congress in July or August, 1922 . Of the Executive Council of this Congress I have been Hon. Secretary since 1919. The Chairman is Sir Frederick Pollock, whose collaboration with F. W. Maitland produced classical work in the sphere of the philosophy of law. The revival of our Congress enterprise after the shock of the war was mainly due to Mr. Fox Pitt, whose victorious emergence from a law-suit on spiritualist controversies will be remembered. Other members of our Council are Dr. N. Murray Butler, Prof. H. H6ffding, Dr. Kerschensteiner, Mr. A. Yusuf Ali, M. Emile Boutroux, Mr. Gustav Spiller, etc.

In four sessions, September I and 2, we came to three conclusions; To arrange, for 1922, a discussion on tbe International Motive; to arrange another discussion on the Service Motive Universally Applied; and to continue tbe search for ways and means of establishing, at The Hague, or elsewhere, a Bureau and Research Centre of Moral Education. Our liveliest debates raged (if raged is a correct term for arguments conducted by Germans, Swiss, French, English and others in a friendly spirit) round the subject of History Teaching. We all felt the inadequacy, and even frequent evils, of present methods, but we all recognised the difficulty of ascertaining !;be exact character of such instruction in many countries, and the most effective means of reform. Nevertheless the general aim was clear. We believed (to quote a memorandum laid before us) that:

"History-teaching is essentially a description of the process of civilisation. The elements of civilisation should be so emphasised that the elements of mistrust and strife are subordinated without implicit inSIstence on this subordination."

That is to say, the story of industry, art, literature, sc:ence, morality, civics, religion, etc., shoul~ be so unfolded as inevitably to place the

5

anti-social factors of jealousy and exploitation in their true place of inferiority in the process of evolution. In the discussion of such issues we were reminded, by the speech of Mr. L. Kao, that the Far East and its Confucian philosophy (not to speak of India) had a vital contribution to add.

The South Place RECORD did us a ' very good turn. N otici n g in its "Changes of Address" a reference to the removal of Mr. Christie Tait to Geneva I hastened to secure that gentleman's assistance, and Mr. Tait immensely helped as interpreter.,

Postscript.-To save writing a separate note by way of comment on my friend C. J. P. 's article in the September issue, I may here remark that We educational systems of France and the United States already permit of just the sort of broad treatment of the religious ethics of the world as I desire for England. It is true that French and American teachers make inadequate use of this liberty, but the liberty exists. F. J. GOULD.

THE DUTY OF FREE-THINKING. A SUMMARY OF THE DISCOURSE DELIVERED ON SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, BY

MR. JOHN A. HOBSON, M.A.

In these days of political and economic turmoil, it is a relief to turn for the moment to fundamentals, to consider the foundations of thougJlt and action. It may be said that to talk here of the "Duty of Free­thinking" is like bringing coals to Newcastle, but is it not true that J.',ati<;>nalists think of free-thinking more as a right than as a duty? The average member of the community lives without any real thought, and on the whole is very successful in his attempt not to think seriously. There is a certain routine thinking which is encouraged by our education . Education consists largely in teaching children not to contradict the teacher. Yet even animals do some thinking. Bees and ants, we are told, adjust themselves to unusual occurrences. Some authorities style such actions to thought and others ascribe them to instinct.

Instinct is a kind of inspiration to meet unusual adjustments, and this is as far as most men go. Anything to escape the unutterable toil of thinking!

We reject the imputation of being a thinking people and are proud of just muddling through. Recently there has been a tendency to exalt what is called interior thinking, subconscious thought. Auto·suggestion is to do our sums for us and cure our ailments. From a medical point of view there is perhaps some value in this idea, but it must not take the place of conscious thought. We must emphasise the importance of conscious exercise of the reason,

Free.thinking means clear thinking. The mind must be free from ignorance. A clear mind is not an empty mind. Knowledge is necessary, but one can have too much knowledge. There is the danger of the pedant who acquires much knowledge but suffers from mental indigestion. It is our duty to get knowledge on which to found clear thinking. Beware of bondage to passion and self·interest. Passion·laden thinking is the danger. Reason is often used to defend passion.laden thinking. This is one of the legacies of war. During the war the people were taught to think in black and white. Our enemies were all black and our friends all white.

Thought has shifted from religion to politics. Religion has become unreal, old beliefs have faded and become dim. Politics have become

6

increasingly real. As income tax has increased, say from one shilling to six hillings, so politics has become six times' as real. Here is a new challenge to free-thinking. Free-thinking on political questions has become a paramount need.

There are several snares for the free-thinker, one is "Slovenliness." The mind needs exerci e. To exel'cise the mind is a fine art. He had recently met in a library a lady who was expecting to go to prison, and sbe was looking for a book on foreign exchanges, upon which to concentrate her mind.

The second snare is "Stupidity." 'What Bosanquet has described as being ., irresponsive to values," i.e., a refusal to deal fairly and equitably with the claims of our fellow creatures. Our job in life is to think clearly.

The third snare is "Sheer Cowardice." Bertrand Russell has dealt with this in his recent book. We must be ready and willing to follow the argument where it leads. ,Ve must beware of keeping away from inconvenient paths affecting ourselves and our friends. Good excuses are always found for refusing to follow the argument. Perhaps one is to be found in the recent cult of the" herd mind."

Free-thoug.ht is not a disagreeable thing. It is a life of adventure and leads to mental well being. It does not need great learning or great intellect, but scrupulous hone~ty of mind. It needs knowledge and the correlation of knowledge. We want to "see life steadily and see it whole."

There is before us the challenge of Democracy. "The Cause of the lJeople." Our efforts will run to waste without free-thinking. There is a danger of seeking to reach the end without considering tbe means. Enormous cbanges are taking place here as in other countries without proper thinking, and the result may be disaster. The mass mind is easily dri ven like a fiock of sheep. There is the need of the light of reason, not of nature.

There is a delight in free-thinking, the perception of order, the pleasure of producing harmony, the extension of ordered knowledge in the mind. There is a privilege as well as a duty in understanding and aSSisting in the progress towards ultimate harmony. F. M. 0_

CONFERENCE OF MODERN RELIG IOUS THI NKERS_

The second conference of Modern Religious Thinkers, which is being organised by a joint committee on. which the South Place Society is represented, will be held at the Caxton Hall on Friday and Saturday afternoon and evenings, November 4 and 5, at 3 and 7.30 p.m., when it is hoped that every member and friend of South Place will endeavour to attend. The arrangements made for the Conference of last year will, with slight modifications, be again followed. Three short papers will open each of the four ses ions, and these will be followed by open discussion. The following are the subjects selected by tbe Committee for consideration: "The Converging Tendencies of Modern Religious Thought and the cientific Spirit," "The Relation Between Eastern and Western Religious Thought," "Tbe Search for Religious Unity," and" Tbe Expressicn of Religion in Daily Life." Professor J. B. Bury, M.A., bas kindly consented to act as President of the Conference, and among those who have promised to read papers at the 'onference are ir Harry jobnston, Dr. Bernard Hollander, tbe Hon . and

Rev. Canon Edward Lyttleton, D.D ., Mr. A. Yusuf Ali, Dr. ' Villiam . McGovern, Mr. S. H. Swinny, Mr. S. F. Marvin, Miss Cbarlotte 'Vood , Dr. Stanton Coit, Mr. J. A. Hobson, and the Rev. S. D. Headlam. Owing to the prohibitive cost of posting, extensive circularising will not be possible; but the Committee hope that all the members of the convening societies will do their best to make the meetings known and that they will make a very special effort to attend all the meetings. A full copy of the programme will be enclosed in our next issue, but copies may be had from tbe ecretary, Mr. H. Snell, at 19, Buckingham Street, W.C.2, for which a stamped and addressed ertvelope should be sent. H. SNELL.
