A Positivist's impeachment Of the,
Churches.

Mr.. Frederic Harrison, the we'll
known English Positivist, is convinced
that sin public questions, in politics,
in legislation, in tone Of public life the
organized Christian churches do not do
good. but do evil" and he has written
a long and vehement article sustain-
ing this extreme conclusion. Espe-
ciafly does he castigate the churches
for their failure to check ''the immense
development of the spirit of aggression
thirty of forty years, declaring that
In too many cases, they "have been
foremost, more eager than soldiers or
princes, to hound on the war spirit, to
gloat over the defeat of the opponents,
and to justify every case of injustice"
He continues Gin the Positiyist Review,
London):
Hardly a voice was raised within
the churches to stem the torrent OF
vainglorious passion during any of the
wars, least of all during the infamies of
the various South African wars, and.
above all, of the Boer War Catholics
Methodists, Anglicans. and even the
Quakers or Friends, famed the fight
ing temper. They behaved just as
Russian priests of today, in their war of
aggression in the east, blessing the
cannons. and promising heavenly re-
wards to the victors. AS the head
manager of the degraded Russian
church said the other day to the
bishop. You are but the instrument in
Christ of the all potent will Of the
Little Father by divine right That is
the tone of the bishops and archbish-
ops of all establishments, of our cs-
tablishment They are the instrmeat
of the government OF the day, i:s
tool. it's creature. If the government
go for war, the priests Of Christ today
bless war and concecrate the engines
of destruction. None do 1t so shame
lessly, with such party zeal. as the pre-
lates and clergy of the Anglican
church"

A story recently published to the
effect that state Superintendent j. +.
Riggs has ruled that teachers falsify-
ing as to their ages might have their
teachers licenses revoked has grown
till 1t Is made to appear that no per-
son over thirty years OF age, will be
allowed to teach in the public schools
Of the state. In this form the story
appeared In the eastern papers. Prof.
Riggs states today that the basis for
the story Is In the fact that many am
bilious children who are under eight
cen wish to teach, and their parents
are anxious to have them teach. The
rule is that every person getting GER
tiiicate must be eighteen or over but
there was never any thought Of limit
ing the age, the other way. At the
head of the first list OF questions to
warn the youthful applicants of the
rule note is printed stating that a
false return as to the age will be con-
sidered sufficient cause for revokin3
license to teach.
1T is a good thing for the teachers
who have heard 1t thunder a great
many summers to record their ages
correctly" said Prof. Riggs today,
FOR the average age Of teachers, both
male and female, is part Of the an
nual statistics. and II many Of them
report falsely the annual average will
be at fault. But the discrepancy In
this respect Is never very great, and /
had no thought whatever OF embar-
rs,ssing the teachers whose memory as
tee their age Is little faulty, and 1t
never occurred to me that any one
even the imaginative newspaper re-
porter--conld constTue the notice as
being declaration that woman past
thirty Is cranky and not fit to teach.
Why, bless you, some Of the very best
