The simplest and most adequate definition of evolution I have found, said Mr. Ng, consists of just two words "orderly change." The theory of evolution is simply a theory that our world as it is to-day and all life upon it, have been developed since the begin ning of time by slow, orderly pro- cessen of change, and that these The changes are continuing. theory is regarded by present day scientists as the only adequate scientific explanation of the my stories of the origin and develop- ment of life.

Commonly Accepted Theory,, Briefly, the most commonly accepted theory, as first propound- ed by Charles Darwin in the mid- dle of the nineteenth century, may be summaried as follows: No two Individual plants or animals ever are exactly alike. A small variation in one individual may make him better equipped to cope with his surroundings than others of his kind. In the strenuous competition of Hfe, only the in- dividuals best equipped for strug gle for existence survive; the poorly equipped' die out.

And so through countless generations; by the survival and propagation of the most fit amid different and ever-changing surroundings, in dividual variations work to form new species, new families, and new races.
