STATEMENT< The answers to the fundamental problems of this hour of history must be sought, not in the brilliant technological achieve- ments of modern man, but rather in the quiet arena of man's relation to man. In the final analysis, these problems of human relations are essentially spiritual problems. Religious education which can enlighten and sensitise the conscience is therefore more needed than ever before. *By Barl James MoGrath, U. S. Commissioner of Education, Federal Security Agency, Washington, D. C., June 23, 1950, to the International Council of Religious Education, Chicago, Illinois
