The heretical remnant and modernist religion
Article Abstract:
Modernism is the dominant religion of the present society. This religion is propagated by both the public servants and the intellectual community. Some of the major tenets of this religion, which disregard moral responsibility, include personal sovereignty, subjectivity and autonomous intellect. Modernism reduces the idea of community to sheer mechanism because this religion devalues human meaning and views the human being as a biological robot. Due to its negative consequences, it is necessary to openly confront the multiple reductionisms of modernism.

Schoolmasters
Article Abstract:
Influential school masters at Deerfield Academy are described. Frank Boyden completely revitalized the school during the 60 years he was there. He was firm, yet gentle, with the children and he had a talent for discovering the good in a child and making it stronger. His wife, Helen Childs Boyden, brought her own innate goodness to the school and seemed to take an interest in all the students, even after their graduation. Finally, Mr Pidgeon took a warm interest in students through his Latin classes and his coaching.
