RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
Training in the Public Schools
Approved.
THE MAJORITY REPORT
FINDINGS OF THE COMMITTEE OF
FIFTEEN ADOPTED.
Views of Those Who Opposed Remark
Made by Rev. DR.. R. H.
McKim.

BY vote of forty to twenty-five the in
terdenominationei conference of clergymen,
which reconvened yesterday afternoon at
the New Willard Hotel to consider the mat
ter of religious training In the public
schools adopted the majority report of the
citizens committee of fifteen, providing for
the introduction of systematic study of
morals as Incorporated in the Ten Com
mandments, the use of text books on
morals as applied to conduct, and the study
of such parts of the Bible as will be ac
ceptabIe to Protestants, Roman Cath olics
and Hebrews. The board of education of
the District of Columbia will be petitioned
to this effect.
The vote was reached after considerable
debate which showed clearly that the OPP
position TO the report had some strength.
The report OF the citizens committee was
not unanimous either. Rabbi Stern and w.
W. Prescott representing the Hebrews and
the Seventh Day Adventists respectively,
submitting minority reports. The confer
enCe was presided over by Hilary A Her
bert, former Secretary Of the Navy.
p 1t is stated, in explanation of the result,
that many persons were permitted to vote
ON the proposition who had not participant
ed in the first conference. The meeting yes
terday regarded an adjourned con-
ference. and, according to precedent. only
those who had been invited to the original
assemblage should have been accorded the
voting privilege at the second meeting. 1t
was believed. however, inasmuch as the dis
cussion designed TO be upon interde-
nominationai lines, that no restrictions
should be imposed. but had the vote been
taken of those only who had been invited
the minority would have been shown to be
smaller The interdenominational idea was
exemplified in the composition of the COM
Ipittee of fifteen. the reports of which were
submitted yesterday afternoon.
Text of the Report
The report of the citizens committee, as
read by Chairman Merrill T. Gates. is as
follows:
Al the first meeting of the committee,
fourteen of the fifteen members were pres
emit, Bishop Cranston alone being absent
ard out OF town. After attending the first

in the home, and should be excluded from
the public schools we are nevertheless en-
tirey convinced that the first principles or
morality, based on the belief in Almighty
God, should be carefully and Systematically
taught in public schools. We believe
that our people generally favor the lnStruc-
ton of their children in the first principles
of morality and religion. In our American
system the state has undertaken the maiT-
tenance of public schools for the children of
all, and has based the right of the state to
educate the young on the duty of the state
to fit the young to become good citizens.
We hold that the only foundation for good
citizenship is in morality, based upon be-
lief in Almighty God. Therefore, it is the
duty of the state to incorporate such teach
ing in it's school system.
Believed to Be Practicable.
III. We believe that it is entirely prac-
ticable to make such a selection of read
ings from the Old and New Testaments as
will prove acceptable alike to Protestants,
Roman Catholics and Hebrews We urge
the taking of steps to provide such a lee
tionary that by it's use the children of our
schools may have instilled into their minds
the principles of the most exalted moral
ity together with reverence and love for
Almighty God; provided that such a lee
tionary should be of optional use by the
individual teacher, in place of the present
method
". We recommend to the conference
that it petition the board of education of
our city to introduce into our schools the
systematic study of morals, by making use
of those Ten Commandments which have
served as the basis of morals and law for
all modern civilized nations, and of the.
beautiful summary of those commandments
in the law of love of God and of our neigh
Dor. and also by the introduction and use
of carefully prepared text books upon
morals as applied to conduct We ask this
not only in behalf of the children from
homes and churches where moral and re-
ligious training is systematically given but
still more earnestly do we ask it for the
sake of that great multitude of children
in our public schools who have no such
training at home or in any church And
of course, we ask that from such special
moral and religious training in the school,
any parent who may conscientiously wish
to do so shall have the right to have his
child excused.

BRIEF AND SOCIAL news

Have you ever taken a trip about
the outskirts OF the Heights and oh"
served the amount Of timothy and clo-
YER that IL growing wild, and how
little Of it ID being cut? 1t is true
that some Of the Heights people are
gathering In quite an amount Of hay
but even: they only get small por-
ton Of the great amount that grows
there. :.
It is a crying shame that such good
lands are permitted to go to waste
each year. Their development ana
cultivation would be Of such great
benefits to this city, but none can
afford to purchase them because OF
their. excessive value. Most OF these
lansd are held by spectators, and IN
the immediate vicinity of the Heights
they are being held at fabulous
price of $1,00 per acre. At the same
time they would only pay taxes on a
moderate assessed valuation. 1t runs
from $500 to $500 per acre..
II the assessors in this city and coun-
ty would raise the valuation to at
least so per cent. of the market price
the spectators would son try to get
rid Of their lands. Settlers would be
induced to take them, adm there would
not be so much waste in our COM
munity.

Convention Of American
Federation Of Labor. --.
international Longshoremen, Ma
rine and Transportworkers
Meeting Was Good.

The International Longshoremen,
Marine and Transportworkers associa-
ton seems to have the faculty of CIV
ing due recognition to Duluth when
ever it has an opportunity Sd to do.
At the recent convention held in De-
troit it elected our own James Walsh
as one of the delegates to the next con-
vention Of the American Federation of
Labor to be held at Pittsburgh in No.
Vember.
Mr.. Walsh has just returned from the
annual convention at Detroit and is
much pleased with the legislation for
the good Of the organization. His fel-
low" delegates to Pittsburg are D. J.
Keefe, Detroit; c. Barter, Detroit; Mr..
Harrison, New Orleans. and c. Wild,
Buffalo.
The convention at which more than
$50 delegates from all parts Of the
United States. Cuba and Canada were
present decided by an almost unani-
nous vote to hold their conventions BIZ
ennially instead of every year. This
step was taken in view Of the fact
that the great expense and inconveni-
ence of moving SO large a number of
delegates in the middle of their &C.
tive season was deemed unnecessary.
Such business as might from time to
time arise, It was thought, may easily
be handled by the executive committee
composed Of the officers Of the fedora
ton which meets annually.
Officers Of the organization and dele
gates to the A. F. Of l.. conventions
for two years each were elected aa
follows:
ID. J, Keefe, Detroit, president; Hen
ry c. Barter, Detroit. secretary-treasur-
er; ]. J. Joyce, Buffalo, first vice pres
ident; Mr.. Bush, Cleveland, second vice
president; Mr.. Jordan, Tonawanda, N.
T., third vice president; Mr. Thomp-
son, New Orleans, fourth vice pres
ident; Mr.. Martin, Conneaut, Ohio, fifth
vice president; Mr.. Fails, Havana,
Cuba, seventh vice president; Mr. An
derson, Galveston, Tex, eighth vice
president. and another Portland man,
ninth vice president.

LOW RATE FOR CARNIVAL
The Indications Are That the Fall Fss-
tivaI and Jubilee Will Attract :
Big Crowd

Officials Of the Duluth, Missabe &
Northern railway have announced that

Northern Pacific, Great Northern, Oma-
ha and South Shore roads in granting
a rate Of one and one-third fare for

auspices of Flaaten's Third Regiment
band. This rate will apply to all towns
on the Missabe road and will hold good
during the entire week.

cities. and it Ia likely at least on Range
day thatspecial trains will be run from
Duluth after the carnival closes at
night in order to allow the visitors to
return home at once.
The Duluth & Iron Range has the
mater under consideration and will
probably announce its decision today.
It is believed by local people that
the low rates afforded will attract large
numbers Of Range residents to the
Zenith City during the carnival week.
The officials of the Omaha, North
ern Pacific, Great Northern and South
Shore roads, which are represented in
the Duluth Superior Passenger associa-
ton, are preparing special advertising
to :.atract the patrons Of their lines,
and In every way are assisting IN ,pro-:
noting the publicity Of the big show
s''On Saturday, the final day Of the

the city, one from the Sioux over the

sion trains are being arranged and the
railroad people are sparing no effort
to bring the residents Of Dulutt's trib-
utary territory to the local celebra-
ton.
