NO RELIGION IN SCHOOLS

Extreme churchmen, notwithstand-
ing tho theory and the success Of the
public schools in America still think
here ought to be religious services in
schools, and every little while W. find
that some denomination is advocating
that change. There is nothing in it;
here can be nothing in 1t. Our pub
lie schools are founded on the idea,
first. that all children ought to have
an elementary education; and, second,
that the schools ought to be such that
children whose parents belong to all
the denominations In the world can
meet on common ground. on an exact
level, and acquire that elementary edu-
cation without restrictions. The sys-
TEN has worked m~agnifcently, 1t Is
the only system. and when churchmen
argue in favor of religious services in
schools, when we come down to the
point we find that II the churchman Is
a Presbyterian he wants a Presbyte-
rian school; IL he Is a Catholic, he
wants Catholic schools; II he Is a
Baptist, he wants Baptist schools; II
he Is a Mormon, OF course there is but
one school in the world, that is a Nor.
mon school. That shows how II the
disposition was to have religious teach.
ing in schools, the very fact OF intro
ducing 1t would break up the schools.
There Ia another fact beyond that,
which is that where religion Is intro.
duced into public schools 1t does not
make boys and girls any better; rath-
err. 1t Is a detriment, And the further
that where religion Is introduced into
public schools, that is the work for the
home, and when boys and girls come
out Of homes that are not religious
homes they are eve converted In
schools. IT does not make boys and
girls any better. And there Is one
question on which the government Of
every state ought to be pronounced
Ii is that a man, no matter how good
he Is or how pious he is. who would
change our public schools and give
them religious direction, is. unconsci'
ously, an enemy o'the schools and an
enemy to the state.-Goodwin;,
