RELIGION AND SCHOOLS

we would respectfully call the at
tention of certain extreme partlsans
who lnisrepresent the Utah school sys-
TEN to the new educational bill recently
introduced in the British House of
Commons by Reginald McISenna, Pres
ident of the Board of Education.
The new measure is not so conten-
tious as the Birrell bill of 1906, which
the House of Lords threw into the
wastepaper basket without ceremony.
The two main principles embodied in
the present bill are complete public
control of the elementary schools by
locally elected bodies and no denom-
national tests In the appointment OF
teachers.
MI McKenna says that failure to
pass the bill win give powerful inn
petug to the movement for the total
abolition OF religious instruction in the
schools. Under the bin, he explains.
there viii be two kinds of schools re-
ceiving State assistance, The first and
predominant would be the public elc-
mentary school, provided for by the
public. controlled by the public and
managed by the public. The second ana
exceptional type will be the voluntary
schools supported by the various de.
nominations. The latter, II not carried
on for profit, will be given exchequer
grants In aid but no support from the
rates. The local authorities must pro-
vide simple Bible instruction in all the
elementary schools, but the school
buildings viii be available after school
hours for UNCONVENTIONAL instruction by
volunteer teachers OF the pupils volun
tarily staying over for such teaching,
The dispatches say that A. j. Bal
four attacked the bin bitterly and
that ia spite of the notifications intro
dueed by Nh. McKenna it Is apparent
that the CONSERVATIVES and the Church
men uncompromislnRly oppose It..
The point, 20 which we call atten-
tion Is that while in almost an coun-
tries there Is some mingling OF the
functions Of church and state iu the
work Of education, and while i'm
nearly all newly settled countries tho
church always takes leading part
Ia educating the children Of the poo
ceived q dollar of the public school
funds and IN no public school, Az far
as we are aware, wns instruction ever
required or permitted In even the Bi.
Bile. and much less i'm any OF the other
books held sacred by the Latter-day
Saints
In this respect, Utah presents and
always has presented, To all the world
tho best type OF American belief and
practice as TO the conduct Of the pub,

1t must have been rude awakening
for the New York capitalists who EN-
ployed the two confidential men to find
that the luxuries they lavished upon
themselves and their friends were really
being provided out of their own pockets

have been a sudden change from ex-
quisitey furnished apartments to the

RECENT PUBLICATIONS.

In Current Literature vital questions
such as ''Will Rooseveltism Outlast
ROOSEVELT" are discussed, and the con-
sensus of opinion of the American
press, not of any section, is brought
to bear on. the subject. The Candi-
dacy of Hughes and THE Secret of
Lawson's Career" are also ably pre-
scented. The story of the assassination
of the king and the crown prince In
Portugal. and character sketches of the
king, his mother and of the Runaway
Queen of Saxony" make fascinating
reading. THE Contradictory Ee-
ments in Kipling's Genius" Richard

Literature" "Stedman's Chance of Lit

WHERE HE WORK IS HARDEST.

Where the greatest and busiest enterprises center, where the work is hardest. where the conditions most exacting, where the need for reliability is greatest, where there is no room for weddings, there you will always find the graduates of the Monroe Commercial College. Business men use. the graduates of this great school in preference to all others for many reasons, but mainly because they know that their knowledge of bookkeeping shorthand, typewriting and busi- ness affairs is so thorough that they can absolutely rely upon them. The country has been through great financial crisis, but the reaction is now coming. Con- ditions in our Employment Bureau  are brightening every day. We will have at least 50 per cent. more calls for our graduates this fall than we have graduates to supply. This is really the most favorable time we have known in years to b5gin a commercial course. By entering with us now you can easi- ly finish by fall. If you have been putting off enrolling because you were afraid you could not secure a position when you graduated, let this bother you no longer. Posi- tions will be pler tiful this fall and the only question is will you be prepared Or if you have been de- laying enrolling with us on account of a lack of funds, we are willing to accept your note for either all or part of your tuition. Write us to- day for a copy of our catalog, and ask us why Chartier Shorthand and Bliss Bookkeeping are better than other systems. If you need assistance in order to enable you to enroll with us at once, tell us that, and we shall be glad to help you. But write us to-day. Those people who do things NOW are the ones who succeed.

Criticism is a medicine that sometime kills. but often cures. It cured Lord Byron of some of his early foibles and lordly conceit, and it is said to have killed John Keats, an over-sensitive young poet. But taken as a whole. criticism is a good thing if wisely directed and properly administered. It corrects errors. cultivates taste and con- ducts the world in the right paths to the attainment of the most sub stsptial good the greatest number.
