BIBLE BARRED
SCHOOLS OF
CHICAGO

Chicago. Nov. 21.-The prospects
of introducing the Bible as text
book In the Chicago public schools
has received double setback.
A protest against any such action
was presented at the board rooms on
behalf of 100000 Chicago Jews.
This was filed by Rabbis Joseph
Stok and Tobias Schanfarber. who
said they represented 225 rabbis and
their congregations. Mr.. Stolz was
formerly member of the board Of
education.
Later, in commenting upon this
protest. President Schneider admit
ted frankly that the committee on
school management is not likely to
consider the admission of the Bible
favorably at its next meeting.
1--WE are all opposed to the Bible
as text book he said. There is
no doubt of that. The Chicago schools
lack a system of ethical teaching;
but what we need is standard of
morality"
President Schneider left It to be
inferred that the opposition OF the
committee extends to a book Of Bib
llcal readings submitted by the Chi
cago Woman's Educational Union.

souled support. He was greatly in
terested in the culture of fruit. and
was also a lover OF fine horses. He
did much to secure the establishment
of the sugar factory In this city, and,
In fact, was enlisted with other cit
liens In every public movement.
Judge Caswell was one of the
committee appointed from the states
of the union to convey to President
Roosevelt the official notice that he
had been nominated by his party for
the presidency.
Very frequently In the last few
months he was mentioned as a pos
sible candidate for the United States
senatorship to succeed Senator Tel
Ter.
While Judge Caswell affected to
look upon the matter as sort OF
joke, his friends were very earnest
In the matter. and 1t would not have
been at all surprising had he stood
very excellent chance to obtain the
nomination.
BY his old-time friends In this city
his death is regarded almost MS a
personal loss. II is more than prob
able that a large delegation of old
time friends and citizens will go to
Denver to attend his funeral.
He was a man who won and re-
tanned many true, warm, personal
iendships. Once mans friend.
he was loyal and faithful. Then. too,
he was a fair. honorable antagonist
In political arenas or before the
courts.
