New Haven's New Departure.

Last week the New Haven Board o
Education, by two thirds vote, ORDERED
the teachers of public schools under it
charge to discontinue the practice of open
ing the daily school session with what ar,
called "religions exercises reading frsn
the Bible, the singing of Hymns, aud pray
er. Tho action of the board was no
taken hrstily or without consideration
One of the members who urged it i:
an honored professor Of the Yale Col
| legc-a fact which docs not lessen it;
significance.
This action on the part of the schoo
authorities Of a New England university
town commands attention, as il is certain
to excite, or rather to revive, controver.
sy. There will doubles be fresh appeals
to rally around the Bible, and renewed
agitation on the subject of "godless
schools But perhaps the practical
senee of the American public, after
weighing the matter, may sustain the de
cision of the New Haven School Board.
About the value of these F." religious
exercises in schools, considered from
the purely religious point of view, there
is wide difference of opinion, both
among teachers and parents. We need
not enter into that discussion here. The
question of first Importance is whether
such excrcioes have any rightful place
in the daily routine of the American
public school. If not, that is the end of
the matter.
The argument lies in a nutshell. Citi-
zens of all beliefs, and of no belief. arc
taxed for the support Of the public
school; all these citizens have an equal
right to its privileges for their children !;
whatever nullilies, ahridges, or limits this
right in the case of q single citizen is a
wrong to be redressed as well as a mis-
take to be corrected.
As matter of fact, the American com
munity is made up Of Protestants. Ro
man Catholics. Israelites, Spiritualists,
skeptics, and infdels, all of whom are
equally taxed for the common schools
and have the equal rights in them. A
majority of Protestants in a town have no
right to shut up Bob INGERsoLL to a
choice between having his boy compelled
to listen daily to selections from the
Bible and keeping him out Of the public
schools, than majority of Ingersollian
unbelievers would have to shut up
Brother TALMAGE--for instance--to a
choice between having his boy compelled
to listen daily to selections from Tom,
PAINE and keeping him out of the pub
lie school.
There are ample opportunities and
facilities for religious instruction outside
of the public school room. The New
Haven School Board is in the right
New York Sun.
