The address delivered by DIR. r. G..

His subject was What Shall Children

dress he said that most OF the literature
for children should be labelled as pols-
on. After telling Of the Importance Of
good reading for children. DIR. Hlrsch
referring to Sunday school stories said,
There is not single note In this
tinsh that rings true 10 life or char
acter OF the child. In these books all
sorts Of impossbilities are calmly as
snmed, and God is dragged into them
in the role OF a brutal and bungling
policeman. There are no words In the
Anglo Saxon tongue that would ade-
quately characterize their stupidity.
The Sunday school books are worse
than any dime novel. Their theology Il
damnable and their morality is below
the freezing point. Even II they were
not liable to these objections they
should be condemned for their literary
style. for they contain so much bad
grammar and baby talk that they are
cruel infection on the child"
