the revolutionary per iod in which was worked out the question of how a mother country should treat a colony second the peiiod from 17S8 to 1865 in which the relation between the individual states and the federal government was threshed over third the period down to our own times in which many internal problems have been solved but that of control ot cor porations still remains unanswered The fourth period Dr Vance said was that into which the nation Is just entering in which international as well as Internal questions are involved Internal tasks center about a new national in reference to the he declared wo once tried to do was to secure to the individual liberty for work and worship and tho pursuit of hap piness so long as he showed due re gard for the rights of others But a new

present ten dencies continue to weed out a workman at the age of 60 be he preacher or machinist the old man will have to be shot or pensioned to keep him from dying of starva tion and a broken heart nrdblem deals with child labor We arc awakening to ltd perils and one of our great tasks Is to Improve and enforce such wise legislation as Michigan for example has already' enacted third question is
