All this talk about the Bible Is lost tune. X the
Bible were not In the schools, something else would
be there. IL is enough to know there u q want OF
Catholic principles In these schools There will
always be the same warfare against Catholic DOC
rlIne, Bible or no Bible. What has education been
in the hands OF the world and what in the hands
Of the Cath0.Ic church, That Is the issue
in nutshell The principle now is learning
without re ylon. In districts injected with small

m dread OF an interpOated Bible as they are or y
corporal disease. You can't g q a child to learn q
