Nix. EpIroR Reading the articles in
the Courier recently in regard 10 schools.
and particularly the result Of the inter-
view published last week, leads me to
ask the above question. and ask for it
the careful consideration Of our people.
The first question, and above all local
questions in my mind, is, should any
particular lcnets Of religion be taught
in our Common Schools2 Rev. Maude
and Martin seem to think that religious
education is more to bo sought after
than any other, and SO should be taught
in our common schools. i differ with
them. If our common school fund is to
be divided among the denominations,
/ fear convenient common schools for
the masses would be at an end, and ig-
norancc, OF the grossest kind, such as
prevails among the masses Of Mexico.
Peru, Brazil, Rome, and in fact all over
Italy, Spain, France, and other exclu-
sivcly Catholic countries, where religion
il protested to be the most important
thing taught in their schools, would be
the result in Indiana, and in place of
this being free country, where every
mans conscience il his own, by law, and
uVe sssOJSos W eAo HI VI bUy i IIcst, We
would be divided into pricst-ridden
communities, educated 10 respect and
obey the priests Of each particular de-
nomination, until our descendants would
not dare to make any trivial trade, with
out first consulting thicr priest -as II is
even now with some I know of in Du-
bOis county. One-half Of the money
which pays our common school teachers
in this county, is the free gift Of the
people Of other counties Of the State,
without regard to religion at all. Would
they be willing to donate this money If
it is TO be used 10 inculcate religious
tenets which they do not believe /? and If
devoted TO teaching the doctrines of any
denomination in the county, it would be
contrary to the belief of some who as
sisted in raising that money, and whose
wishes in regard TO it's use are entitled
to respect.
Further, 10 religion the chief object Of
lifcf Does It furnish us our daily
bread2 How many moro glasses Of
liquor do the bar-kccpcrs sell on account
Of their religion? How MANY sales Of
plows or agricultural implements does
Mr.. Kueblcr's religion enabIo him To-
maker How many pages Of record
does Mcssrs. Litschgi, Ed,ponston or
Jutt make up by reason OF their relig-
