INSPECTOR OLSEN,

made long speech On the same subject.
He was not personally opposed to the
Bible That book had been in his house
when he was born, before and eyer since.
But when certain sum has been appro-
priated for certain purpose, it was con-
trary to the constitution Of the state to use
it for the furtherance of any religious
sect. A great deal of property Of Cath
olics is taxed to support the schools, and
they cry for arlivision of the school fund.
He did not believe in this. One of the
last acts that he would permit himself to
do would be to vote for the division of the
school fund. The Bible is not out of place
in the parochial schools. the churches, and
the Sunday schools, but ne did think it was
not right to force it upon the people who
objected, and paid their share of the taxes
to the maintenance of the public schools.
The Bible is a moral book and religious
book. There is no higher type of morality
and religion than is taught in the Bible.
But why put it in the public schools? The
business houses do not open their daily
affairs with Bible reading, 1t is matter
of fact that some officers of the boad have
given directions that teachers in certain
localities of the city must not read certain
portions of the Bible. No book ought to
be in the common schools of Chicago which
shall not be read from beginning to end
with comment.

ton called for Bible reading more than
was ever expected by our Puritanical fore
fathers. He did not think that the evening
schools should be embraced
Inspector Covert moved to amend BY
adding without note or comment"
Inspector Smith thought that if the Bi-
BILE is to be read it certainly ought to be
explained. He wanted it read with M =
ment or not at all. He so moved asoan
amendment.
Inspector Reed believed that the per.
functory manner of reading the Bible il
the school was infinitely overestimated. Il
the Bible had never been read in the pub
lie schools he should now vote against it
but as the Bible had always been read il
the schools, to vote against it seemed to bt
like striking blow at the dear old book
which he must resent.

INSPECTOR COVERT,

said the petitions have embodied the voice
of some of our best citizens, and we all
know that there is broad-spread ex-
element among our citizens on the subject,
and it seems to be the decision of number
of the largest taxpayers that the Bible
should be read, He felt it to be a most
important matter. He believed that the
truths inculcated in the Scriptures should
betaught to the young, and that no govern
ment whose youth were not instructed in the
principles of morality as set forth in the
Bible could long exist. The Bible is a
part of republicanlsm. He believed that
the children should be given all possible
opportunities to get the good contained 10
the Bible. Children may not apparently
take these teachings at once, but they do
remember them and later in life they come
back to them. 1t is the principles of the
Bible that should be read in the schools
He did not want any particular belief
taught. He was very earnest in his wish
to have the Bible reinstated There is no
sect whatever in the United States, he
said, who broadly state that they want no
Bible in the schools. Catholics want a
division Of the school fund, and so do other
sects, but he had seen statements 10
Catholic journals that they would infinitely
prefer to send their children to schools
where the the Bible is read 1t is the
duty of the state to teach the children
some higher morality of life.

INSPECTOR WEIGH

had few words to say. He desired to
call the attention of the board to the per-
sons who signed the protest. They were
not free and enlightened taxpayers of the
city of Chicago, but residents of Joliet,
Englewood, Evanston, River Park. Hyde
Park, and Waukegan. A majority he
believed, were nOn-residents of this city,
and part of them are not residents Of the
county. He called the attention of the
board to the character of the schools estab-
lished by the Puritans He believed that
the Bible was not used in the early schools
but the estminister catechism. 1t was
a republic which was religious oligarchy.
He had been shocked to hear that certain
portions of the Bible should be read in the
schools. One portion Of the Bible is just
as good as any other portion. The Bible
had always been read in his family. 1t
had been impressed upon his mind that the
Bible was the revelation of God Any
New England man would be shocked to
hear such sentiments advanced. He
wanted to know what apology Mr.. Clarke
was to give. What was the influence on
the schools and the scholars when the
New Testament is put under an interdict
1t looked to him to be vastly more shock
ing to vote to omit the New Testement
than the other. The clergy were doing
much to wake up this prejudice against the
schools. He had heard clergyman say
that it was good idea to keep this preiu,
dice up, because it would benefit denom-
national educational institution which is
now being erected or started near Lake
Forest. He alluded to the objectional cpl
thets heaped upon the members by clergy
and their constituency. The board owed
it to its dignity to resent any such action
and resent it now. The press of the city
without exception defended the action Of
the board from beginning to end. 1t might
as we'll be said that they object to the
reading of the Catechism as to the reading
of the Bible. He agreed with Mr.. Smith
that if the Bible is read it must be read il
toto.
Inspector Clarke said that with one O,
two exceptions the signers of the petitions
were residents of the city. He made the
explanation because he thought it due t.

thought that the way the matter wa;
dragged before the public was making il
disgusting. When the rules and regula
lations were passed upon few weeks age
every sensible man in the country congrat
ulated the board upon their action. He
had met with only one single man who
was shocked with the action of the board
and he was not shocked in the United
States but in Canada. Every leading pa
per from the east to the west, every lead
ing clergyman with brains anc

seconded the action of the board. The

is a pupil in St. Johns school in Varick

ened to bite. Next day u packing box
was procured. Both the boy and the
dog were placed in the box, and the COW
er nailed on tightly. The box was then
taken to a wood near Yonkcrs, and with
the boy and dog, placed in a hole in the
ground, Some brush was then thrown
over the box to hide it from view. AZ
ter being left in this condition over an
other night, the lad was brought back to
the city and released. 1t is thought that
the men who kidnapped the lad supposed
his parents we're wealthy and would pay
a large sun for his ransom /; but after
they heard that the parents were poor,re.

An old gentleman by the name OF
Amman, supported by the town, died
during the last severe cold weather We
had. He was a decided recluse and
lived all alone in a hut he had made near
the side of the road leading to Monkton,
occupying the most of his time reading.
When young he is said to have been the
victim Of a tickle dame, and he consequent.
y renounced the whole female persuasion
as unworthy Of his further attention. The
poor man was discovered while dying and
all was done that could be done for him
by kind neighbors.
