THE BIBLE IN THE SCHOOLS.
EDITOR

The question Of reading the Bible in
schools is often referred to the Super
intendent for settlement. This is
something with which the Superinten-
dent has lothing to do; he can only
advise in the matter. There is moth
ing in the statute which relates to
this question, unless it may be that
part OF section 439 chapter 81, II. S.
which gives tue district board power
TO make all needful rules for the gov
eminent of the school, and it may well
be doubted that this clause has any
reference to religious instruction. But
there is constitutional provision (sec
of Article l0) which says that no
Sectarian instruction shall be allowed
IN the schools.
1t is claimed by many that reading
the Bible at the opening of the school
day is sectarian instruction.
These people claim, and it certainly
looks as if they were right, that the
school is free institution; that every
one who owns property pays taxes for
the support of the schools, and that
one man has as much right as another
They claim that the family circle and
the Sunday School are the places in|
which religious lessons should bel
taught; and that q teacher may incul-
cate lessons Of morality by precept and
example.
The Catholic taxpayer has as much
eight to demand that the Douay Bible
be read in school, as the Protestant
has to ask for the reading Of the st.
James version; and the freethinker
has as much right to ask that eXtrac s
from Tom Paine, Bob Ingersoll, or The
Boston Investigator be read every NOR
ming, as Il churchman has to ask for
the reading Of the Bible.
Majorities do not rule in religious
matters. MajOrities ought not to rule
in religion. If maj0rites had always
ruled, the Reformation would have
been strangled in its infancy, Christ
would have been killed at his birth,
and the world to-day would have been
Pagan.
Let us look at it in this light: Sup
pose that u majority Of district were
freethinkerS aud that they should de-
mand that the teacher should read a
part Of IAger5olIs lecture on "Skulls "
every morning.
How would the rest of the people
take it? Not very quietly, think.
Suppose that majority of a district
We're Jews, and they should vote to
have the Talmud read every morning
[ believe that the Christian minority |
would tear the school house down,
sooner than allow it. Vet people who
demand that the Bible be read in school, |
are forcing religion on to those who
DO not agree with hem.
The superintendent deprec;Stes the
introduction of amy such controversies
in our schools; and lie has always adj
Vised teachers not to read the Bible in
schools where there was the least ob-
lection.
The Board of Rejents have done
away with all religious ceremonies in
the Normal Schools and University, |
and it would be we'll for the next leg
islature to pass some definite law on
The subject.

is very salt, put it on to boil in nearly
cold water, and when it begins to boil
set it on the back of the stove and let it
cook very slowly for fourier five hours,
occasionally replacing the water which
evaporates by little cold water; this
will help to keep it from boiling TOD

buttons the better the style in those

And again, there was Mrs. W,
who was passed through the Fortress
Monroe inquisitorial with her deep
mourning costume and heavy veil, to-
gether with the burial-case supposedly
containing the remains of her brother,
but which in reality was packed with
percussion-caps for the use of the South
ern Confederacy.
We broke up that night with an invi-
tation to meet the club in Franklin
Street on the next evening in course,
and partake of some real cofee-real
as far as it went-but Mrs. H in
formed US in advance it would be mix
ed with potato. This substitute for
coffee-sweet potato cut into slices,
dried and parched-was the best evolved
of all our expedients, and when mixed
with the genuine berry, impaired to it
very rich, creamy flavor and consist
ency.
Nothing can be said in mitigation of
our Confederate teas. I never praised
them-dried blackberry leaves-rasp-
berry. They were detestable! I said
it then and l say it now. But I do feel
spiteful at General Wickham, who, on
being helped to piece of Confederate
pudding at q dinner-table at which l al
so sat one Sunday, pronounced it the
best thing with the prefix which he had
ever yet seen.
Blythe way, and apropos of this same
house-it was clearinghouse, genteel
and delightful, but not the most expen-
sive; I had lived there some days, before
we established ourselves at "room-
keeping" to the tune of $25 per diem.
My sister Patty and paid $75 week
for comfortably furnished room, fire
and gas; and there, if we had any thing
to eat, we ate it.
The cook belonging to the house did
our extra work, such as baking bread
for us when we wanted homemade
bread, or cooking a joint of meat when
we were so fortunate as to have one.
We paid her $3.50 per week.
Here's little list of expenses, blythe
