The ignorance of the young genera
ton concerning that great work of
literature, history and religion, the
Bible, is shocking. The value of a
thorough knowledge of it, whatever
ones spiritual convictions, is unques-
tionable How large proportion of
our young people have read it enough
to acquire any reasonable understand
ing of it? The history of the Greeks
and Romans is familiar enough, but
that OF the Jews is almost unknown to
very many who call themselves well
educated. And yet the Bible is the
oldest of all books, the most generally
accredited work of literature in its
historical aspect. True. the Sunday
schools and the parochial schools are
doing much to disseminate knowledge
concerning it, but they labor at
manifest disadvantage Would it not
be practicable for our HIGH schools to
establish a course of Bible instruction,
