IF we go back far enough in the his

If public schools had been here they
could not have been opened without the
reading of the Holy Scripture, and If any
comment had been made 1T would most
assuredly have been along the line of

therefore, becomes interesting How did

to thrust these views upon the public
as necessary to approaching the Bible,
would be to bring about antagonsms that
has always been against the propagating
of a peculiar dictum inside the walls of
public institutions. To the winds, there
fore with the peculiar tenets of any and
all denominations so far as the public
schools are considered, but for the good
of education itself, let the Bible be read
in the hearing of Gentle, Jew and Catho
lie throughout all this broad land of
America, because the Bible Is necessary
to education.
Charles Dudley Warner. in a notable
address many years ago, pointed out the
fact that more pupils in the great uni
versities of America failed on their Eng
fish examination on account of Ignorance
of the Bible than from any other cause.
The very expressions of the Bible have
become so interviewer in the literature of
all nations that It is not possible for one
to have an intelligent conception of an
authors meaning until he first familiar
ICES himself with the book of all books.
For instance, when Dryden said, I'm
conscious water saw its God AMI bushed,'
the meaning Is impossible of apprehend-
ing until one shall first be able to recall
the marriage feast in caana of Gallilee.
