Professor Huxley on Religion in Schools

The following passages are from Professor aux-
ley's "Critiques and Addresses" (MacmiIlan)
If were compelled (he saysJ to choose for one
Of my own children between q school in which
real religious instruction is given and one with
out it, 1 should prefer the former, even though
the child might have to take a good deal of theol-
ogy with it. Nne-tenths of a dose of bark Is
mere half-rotten wood; but one swallows it for
the sake of the PARTICLES Of quinine the beneficial
effect Of which may be weakened but is not
destroyed, by the wooden dilution, unless in a
few cases of exceptionally tender subjects. To
abolish all religious teaching because you do not
like certain portions Of it is, in his opinion, like
burning your ship to get rid Of the cockroaehes. -
And, moreover, he sees no other way Of teaching
religion except through the medium of the Bible
and this leads him to write the following passage
"a noble one, certainly, so far as it goes-in
defence OF the use Of the Bible in our schools: al
have always been strongly ia favor of secular ed
ucation in the sense of education without theology
but must confess l have been no less seriously
perplexed TO know by what practical measures
the religious feeling, which is the essential basis
of conduct, was TO be kept up, in the present
utterly chaotic state Of opinion on these matters,
without the use of the Bible. The Pagan moral
lists lack life and color, and even the noble Stole,
Marcus AntOninus, is too high and refined for an
ordinary child. Take the Bible as the whole :;
make the severest deductions which fair criticism
can dictate for shortcomings and positive errors;
eliminate, as @ sensible lay teacher would do, if
left to himself, all that is not desirable for chill
dren to occupy themselves with and there still
remains in this old literature a vast residuum of
moral beauty and grandeur. And then consider
the great historical fact that for three centuries
this book has been woven into the life of all
that is best and noblest in English history; that
it has become the national epic of Britain, and is
as familiar to noble and simple, and from John
o'Groat's House to the lands End, as Dante
and Tasso once were to the Italians that it is
written in the noblest and purest English, and
abounds in exquisite beauties of mere literary
form; and finally, that it forbids the veriest hind
who never left his village to be ignorant Of the
existence of other countries and other civiliza-
tions. and of a great past, stretching back to the
furthest limits of the oldest nations in the world.
BY the study Of what other book could children
be 30 much humanized and made to feel that each
figure in the vast historical procession fills, like
themselves, but a momentary space in the inter-
val etween two eternities; and earns the bless
ings or the curses of all time, according to its
efforts to do good and hate evil, even as they are
also are earning their payment for their work 2'

A Roll of Honor.
HEROIC FIGHTING OF SIX MEN.

The simple story of the heroic defence of six
men of his command near the Washita River,
Texas, as told by General Miles in a sub-report to
the War Department of his recent battle with the
Kiowas and Comanches, is q fine testimonial to
the fortitude of the trained soldier. The recital
is so graphic as to constitute a vivid picture of
Spartan courage I'D endorsement. Six men,.
l.. Woodhall, PeE4 Rath, John Harrington, G. w.
Smith, Amos Chapman, and William Dixon
whose names ought to live forever in the roll of
braves, bearing dispatches from Mcclellan Greek,
Texas, to Camp Supply, in the Indian Territory,
were surrounded by one hundred and twenty-five
Indians. AT the first attack all the members of
the devoted party were struck, and Smith NOR
tally, and three others severely wounded. With
his knife and hands one of them succeeded in
throwing up a small earthwork, while the others
kept the Indians at bay. Behind this intrench-
ment the little band placed themselves, the
wounded reaching the slight protection with pain
full efforts, and Smith, although mortality wounded,
sitting upright in the trench to conceal the fact
of the crippled condition {. the garrison. 1t is
almost incredible, but a fact nevertheless, that
from early morning until dark those five men,
under constant fire, without food, and with only
such rain water G as collected in a pool, mingled
with their own blood, !" held 125 Indians at bay,
defending their lives and the person of their dy-
ing comrade."
So desperate was the defense that the Indians
abandoned the siege at the end of twelve hours,
and withdrew with their dead and wounded dur
ing the night. The fighting was at such short
range that the soldiers often used their pistols
with terrible effect, and it is believed that they
killed double their own number, besides wound
ing many more of the attacking party. The his
tory of the Indian wars of the frontier abounds in
deeds of heroism, but victory was never won over
greater odds than in the fight of the Washita,
where five men conquered l25 sayages. General
Miles justly says:
The simple recital of their deeds and the men,
ton of the odds against which they fought; how
the wounded defended the dying, and the dying
aided the wounded by exposure to fresh wounds
after the power of action was gone-these alone
present a scene of cool courage, heroism and self
sacrifice which duty, as well as inclination,
prompts us to recognize, but which we cannot
fifty honor.
