FAITH In THE EXTREME
Why Mrs. Evans Doesn't Want
Her Boy to Study
Science of Physiology in the
Public Schools.
hrs. Evans Believes That Christian
Scientists Are Responsible for the
Fair Weather Festival Week

Mrs. Ella H. Evans, who made the
novel request of the board of education
that her boy be excused from the study
Of physiology at jackson school because
the laws of health therein taught were
in direct contradiction to those taught
by the Christian Science faith. is a lit
tie woman with a pleasant face and
good command of language. She lives
at 1904 Taylor street in a house which
is plain but extremely neat and taste
full. On the front porch there is a mod
est sign which informs the reader that
Mrs. E. Il. Evans, Christian Scientist
Healer lives there
Her son Eddie who attends Jackson
school, is a bright boy of Is years. He
is in the TB grade. and it is here that
the study Of physiology is begun. For
his age Eddie is well advanced in the
study of Christian Science
Il am willing to tell you anything"
said Mrs. Evans to q reporter, or to
answer any honest question which will
be Of any service for the good Of the
reform, said She, but / do not court
publicity, and in fact I did not know
that the board of education meetings
We're reported in the papers. But then
if it win do any good, I don't mind tell
ing you why object to my boy study
ing physiology in the schools. Mrs
Evans procured a small neatly bound
book which she opened and handed to
the reporter and indicated a passage in
it. This book says that Physiology
is one of the apples from the Tree of
knowledge That book is the ac-
knOWledged text of the Christian Sci
entists. It was written by Mrs Mary
Baker Eddy, OF Boston, one OF the lead
ing Christian Scientists of the world.
It explains the whole thing and helps
in study Of the Rsd4e'
why is physiology a forbidden
fruit?" asked the reporter
Because we believe that the body is
the frame in which God, or as we use
the term synonymous with it, Truth,
Is in every living thing.
There are perhaps IS children of
/ Christian Scientists in attendance at
the city schools. Now We are entitled
to a little consideration in this matter.
III my son should recite q lesson in
I physiology, when he went to his seat
he would have to say that everything
which he had recited was a lie. Now

teaching Of the Christian Science laws

Mrs. Evans seemed to be deeply in
+ terested in her belief and she explained

most anything could be done. 'All Of
the Christian Scientists of the city
