NOT FIT FOR CHILDREN.
Head of Chicago Education Objects to
Bible in Schools.

Chicago, Oct. 1.-THE problem Of
religious instruction in the public
schools was put up to President Otto
C. Schneider of the Chicago board Of
education yesterday.
President Schneider met the issue
squarely; so squarely, indeed, as to
bring a gasp of establishment from the
two club women who had preached
the subject.
Il believe with Jean Jacques Rous-
seau," said Mr.. Schneider, that re-
ligion should not be taught to any one,
in any form until his or her nature
is formed. AS for the Bible in the pub
lie shoots, I object to it 1t Is not nj
for children
President Schneider's visitors were
Mrs. Elizabeth Cook, president of the
Women's Educational union. and Mrs.
Clarence A. Starr, prominent club
woman and educational worker. The
two wanted to ask the presidents aid
in securing the introduction of book
of Bible readings in the curriculum OF
the Chicago schools.
II would not object to a history of
the Bible in the schools as a master
piece of literature" President Schnei-
DER told the women 1T should be the
same as Byrons poems or any other
of the great masterpieces. And for
the same reason 1 should be glad to
have on the reading list history
of the Koran and of the religion OF
Confucius or of Buddaha.
But as for teaching the Bible in the
public schools of Chicago. it would be
against the constitution"
Religious instruction. never has
been introduced in the schools, the
school authorities feeling that no sys-
tenn of religious training could be
adapted to the innumerable sects and
religions represented in the city S
population. In addition, as suggested
BY President Schneider, a legal ques-
ton is involved.

NEARLY CAUSED PANIC.
Report That Hartman Had Ordered
Severe Retrenchment.

New York. Oct. 12.-The stock mar
ket opened very weak today, a num-
Der of leading stocks selling down to
about the level of the panic last
March. The gossip of the financial
district in explanation of this decline
was based on a rumor that E. H. Har-
riman had given orders for sweeping
reductions on every railroad line which
he controls.
Mr.. Hartman gave out denial that
any such orders had been given.
The telegram which he was reported
to have sent to the general managers
of the Southern Pacific Railway COM
parry instructed them to reduce all ex-
peEses other than maintenance and to
stop improvements on account of
stringency of the money market. Tine
statement is untrue" said Mr.. Harr1-
man. Il do not send kilograms to gen
eral managers in this way. and no such
order was given. We are doing every
thing we can to take care of the busf-
ness tributary to our roads and expect
to continue to do so.'

Even the sex is not necessarily distinguished as we see in the second verse of the 9th chapter of Genesis: Male and female created he them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were ere ated" This view gives no small assist ance in the interpretation of the 9th chap ter, verses 12-19 of the Epistle to the Ro- mans, in which passage the Federal Headship of Adam" is discussed, and 1t aids us in understanding a parallel pass age in the 18th chapter, verses 45-49, of the First Epistle to the Corinthians, where a similar train of thought occurs.
 Now, in Job 31st chapter, 33rd verse, the margin reads "after the manner of man." instead of "as Adam" So also In the Westminster Revision.

When this motley gang eventually reached the park the cannon Is wheeled into position and every one gets busy loading 1t.

It Is no wonder the Chinese empire was threat ened with partition among the European powers when they saw what a soft job it would be.
 But China Is said to be waking up; railroads, steamships, telegraph lines and military training are showing their ef- fects everywhere today in that country.

 No people In the world are more inter- esting to study than are the Chinese, and the great fault with most European and American travellers in that country is that they don't stop to inquire or seek to understand the motives which prompt these people to do so many things the exact opposite of the way the same things are done here or in Europe.

about the Hebrew people. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, the patriarchs, Moses, the exodus, the law, the prophets. priests and kings of Israel are all conspicuously ab- sent from the book. Neither the Jews nor the Gentiles are even mentioned.
 In the 22nd chapter, 18th and 18th verses, some commen entators have imagined that they found an allusion to the deluge of Genesis, but the language will not bear such an interpretation. The passage reads thus: "IIast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden2 Which were cut down out of time, whose foun- dation was overflown with flood" That this is a general statement, without ref erence to the deluge of Genesis, Is clear from the context and especially from verse 19: "The righteous see it, and are glad, and tho innocent laugh them to scorn."
 In the S3rd verse of the 31st chapter we have the much discussed words: "If l covered my transgressions as Adam" etc. On the face of it, this appears to be a reference to the father of the race, and to his hiding himself in the garden after his disobedience, but we must remember that our English translators are responsi- ble for the capital "A" with which they here spell the word Adam" thus making 1t a proper name. Scholars have settled the point that the original word was common noun, meaning simply man. or

 From daylight to dark the same old din of shouting and scuffling Is going on, and the sailors on the ships occasionally add to the confusion by pelting eggs among the belligerents Eggs cost cents dozen, and are bought to mix with the native drink called kam-shoo; without them the sam-shoo would take paint off door, but with a dozen or so beaten up and mixed with pint of the distilled vitrol a sort of egg-nog is made which is found very acceptable by sailors.

Some of it's prob lens are of perennial interest to every human being who has any brains, and they have always interested thoughtful men from the earliest periods with which recorded history deals. On such questions a man with brains in his head can no more help thinking than he can help breathing. "The argument from design was used by Plato in the 9th century be- fore Christ, just as 1t was used by Paley in the 18th century after Christ. And so, neither the "eloquence'' nor the depth of the speculative reasoning of the inter- locutors In the book of Job Is worth any thing as an argument against the ex- treme antiquity of the book.
 Now, as to the date of the composition of the book, I can not pretend to reach anything that can fairly be called dem onstration, but there are many facts which seem to me to point to very early date-much earlier than the exile.
 In the opening sentence of the book Of Ezekiel we find this prophet in captivity, and as Ezekiel mentions Job, 1t is prob able, If not certain, that the book of Job was in existence when Ezekiel wrote his prophecy.

 As the days heightened and the sun, asserting his power, pushed higher and higher above the horizon, the glare upon the white expanse of snow dazzled our eyes, and we had to put on smoked glass; es to protect ourselves from snow blind ness.
