Letters from I. T. M.

To the Editor Of tie Standard:
You wish me to tell the people whether
am in favor of ruling the Bible out OF
the public schools. Unlike your candi-
date, l am willing to answer any question
of Importance likely to come before the
Legislature for their action.
In order to have the people understand
my position on this question, allow ME to
say that man is a compound being, con
sisting of Physical, Intellectual and Nor
al parts. That different means should be
used to cultivate and improve these
parts. Our moral natures should be cul-
tivated and improved by instructing the
youth of the country in the teachings of
the Bible This | think can best be done
in our Sabbath schools and churches
Our intellectual powers should be cult
waited by teaching the different Sciences
This ! think can best be done in our
common schools | think the common
school system was arranged for this pur-
pose, and that the trainers of our Consti-
tuition acted wisely in making provision
against the teachings of any sectarian
doctrine in the school-room.
| would not use the Bible as a text book,
because ] believe there are other text
books much better adapted to teach the
various Sciences | would not exclude
the Bible from our schools, because did
not wish the great principles and truths
of the Bible taught to the youth; but
believe these principles might be taught
in our Sabbath schools to more advan-
tage, and to a much better purpose, than
they could be taught in our common
schools.

reading of the Bible in our public schools.

ONO UNIVERSITY, Sept. II, 1878.
To the Editor of tie Standard:
The Importance of classical education
is one of the accepted facts of the day.
That young men who have to depend
upon their own resources are better pre-
pared to meet the stern realities of life,
if possessed of such an education, is no
less true. The pathway of life is not one
of ease and luxury to the majority of
young men, There are many ups and
downs; many steep ascent has to be
climbed before the ambitious attain great
success. The opposition of men who al
ready wield great influence often has to
be overcome. And to me it is a curious
fact, that so many of our business men
oppose, or if they do not oppose directly,
discourage many of the attempts of a
young man. A word of encouragement
times it would have a beneficial effect.
To accumulate wealth is not all of life,
and if it were, an education would ena-
ble its owner to make more than he 9TH
that an individual he's no one to blame
but himself. for his not obtaining col.
lege education, it is many times the case
that he is deferred for want of interest
and encouragement from those who are
older. But l cannot see why more of our
young men, who have the means, the
time and the talent, do not avail them
selves of the privilege OF attending some
institution Of learning
And right here l wish to say word in
regard to the Ohio University. The stu
alton of this time-honored college is
beautiful and we'll selected. The friends
of the institution have raised several
thousand dollars and the buildings are
now undergoing repairs. The intention,
| believe, is to continue this work as rap
idly as possible, until the buildings are
fitted up in the most approved style.
The Faculty is composed of men of sound
judgment, sterling qualities and fine edu-
catiohal abilities. The course of study is
one of practical utility and the method
of instruction is very thorough. The
course commends itself to every individ-
ual who desires his college education to
assist him in his liie-work. Besides the
regular course of studies, there are two
Literary Societies connected with the
college, both having the same object in
view-the development Of the literary
powers. These are of no small value to
the student who improves the opportu-
mites they afford. / believe that for
practical usefulness, thoroughness of in
struction and eheapness of living, there
are few colleges superior to the Ohio Uni
yersity. But it is not necessary for me
to enter OH an encomium upon her mer-
its. She has nobly fulfilled her mission
in the past. With Prof. Scott as Presi-
dent, assisted by an able corps of Profes-
sors, she is destined to achieve greater
success in the future.
| hope that more of the young men in
jackson county will be persuaded to at
tend this institution, and by her benefits
become powers in the land for good.
Yours truly,

We are rejoiced to see that our dearly
beloved brother Chapman, of tie Pome-
roy Telegraph, is delighted with our Per
sonal Recollections." We are delighted
with his. The description he gives of
his early youth, where he and Al. Me Far
land hung suspended by the seat of their
breeches, one upon picket fence, and
the other upon the horns of COW, are
exceedingly interesting to the general
public, and have fine moral tendency
among the youth of our country.

We stated at the Court House at the
temperance meeting last Thursday night
that when we presented a petition last
spring for woman suffrage, no county
officer or candidate for office would sign
it. In justice to ]. L. Jones. Prosecuting
Attorney, we will say that he signed it,
and is ready and able to defend his ac-
ton in so doing. Mr.. Bundy, Member
of Congress, and C. C. James, Deputy
Clerk, also signed it.

evils of intemperance. Not little we
believe our present national demoraliza-
ton comes of the fact that. for the quar-
ter of century last past. the attention
of the people has been directed almost
entirely to law as a means of social re-
form. Law never has and never will re-
form any one 1t may possibly lead a
man to the proper source of reform, and
that is all. When an individual orr ma
ton gets started on downward course,
it is religion and religion only that can
arrest that downward tendency"

"Mr. Norton will probably conclude
from all this that if we chance to be
elected to the Legislature, and the con-
tingency he supposes should arise, we
will vote for liquor law modelled some

so, we shall not dispute the correctness
of his conclusion. 1t is certainly severe
enough to satisfy all reasonable men; and

proving the present condition of affairs,

'lf the liquor manufacturer or seller is
disposed to complain of the stringency of
such laws, we have only to answer that
they seem necessary to the proper
protection of society. We fully re-
cognize all his property rights in the
case, but the peace and safety of COM
munity require that they shall be held
subject somewhat to municipal control.

great hardship because he is not permit

To tie Editor OF the Standard: -
Your comment in regard to the meet
ings gotten up in which Scott. Harrison,
myself and Others were invited to discuss
the questions is surprisingly strange,
and can only be accounted for on the
grounds that you fear the consequences
of the people hearing both sides of the
questions. Your act in putting the no.
tice gave you in small print and placing
/ it in your paper under the head of for
eign advertisements, proves that you are
notz willing that the honest voters of
your party should hear the questions dis
cussed from any other standpoint than
your own. If your cause is good and
YOUR candidate is man of talent, educa-
tion and ability, as you assert, why not
permit him to engage in discussing the
questions with me, in order that the peo-
pie may judge for themselves in regard
to ability and qualifications to represent
them in the General Assembly. The
truth is, your cause must be bad, or your
! candidate weak and unable to cope with
his opponent, perhaps both. I. 7. NJ.

Inc above is technically true. The Maine
Central has forwarded all freight that has
peen delivered in cars on its road, or that has
come from Boston over the P. S. g. P. Rail
road. 1t is true that after delay of two OF
three days it has taken from the track of the
Portland & Ogdensburg cars coming over the
Boston & Maine extension to this city and
designed for places east on the Maine Central.
Last night, however, there were thirty cars
of the Boston & Maine standing in the same
place, part of which have been awaiting
shipment east since Wednesday morning. IL
is to be hoped that this statement has not been
made for the purpose of creating a wrong
impression at Augusta, as there can be no
doubt but what this delay will continue until
the Legislature, by an explicit law, makes it
imperative upon all companies in such cases
to take all freight that comes to them. -.
