Professor Meek spoke in part as
follows:
Religious education has until re-
Gently played an important part in
education, but during the latter part
of the nineteenth century the separa-
ton of the church and state went to
such an extent that religious education
was excluded from the schools. The
crown of this movement was when the
New York board of education abolish
ed Christmas entertainment from the
schools.
''Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler said
that religious education Is in a truly
critical condition in the United States.
Banished from the public schools, the
responsibility for religious education
has devolved upon the church and the
Sunday schools and they have met it
with the ideals and standards of the
middle ages rather than the twentieth
century. The testimony of many writ
ers and thinkers confirm the statement
that familiarity with the Bible and all
forms Of religious training is rapidly
becoming thing OF the past.
Religious Education Necessary.
Many authorities who have care
fully studied the situation from a
standpoint of education agree ON two
propositions; First that religious edu.
cation Is necessary for nation; sec,
ond, that the Sunday school does no
/ adequately meet that demand.
THE reasons for its failure hav,
been given as follows: First, the linn
tied time given to the study, 20 or 8
minutes a week. second, the unfavor
able environments, usually a humble
of classes reciting in the same room
third, the lack of continuity in the les
sons. brought about by the effort t
get a birdseye view of the Bible ono
every six years; fourth, the failure o
the part of some teachers and man
pupils to prepare the lessons. Tn
ney psychology and new educatio
have touched the Sunday school in
superficial way. The aim is to get th
children into the Sunday school an
get them converted, rather than teaC
them the principles of religious trail
! ing. The new movement toward edl

permanent reference books to which
they can constantly refer in their
studies. Parents and teachers should
both understand that the children are
getting something that is really worth
while.
AN experimental school might be
established somewhere in this district
where the children could go to Sunday
school two or three hours Sunday af-
ternoon, study the lesson in a room
where everybody else was studying
and where a teacher was keeping abb
solute order. They could then recite
their lessons in smaller rooms, one
teacher hearing two or three classes
during the court of the period. Such
Sunday schools have been established
in different parts of the country

schools in the city of New York. One
of them the Horace Mann school and
the other the Ethical Culture school,

Be Witness.

Chicago. July e.-There vas nearly
a stampede at the criminal court to-
day because of an official announce
ment that Tom Taggart would appear

caused a great sensation. immense
crowds surrounding the court build
ing to watch him enter. States attor-
ney Short made a statement that Tag
CART had not been subpoenaed. but ap-
peared voluntarily. Taggart admitted
at the start of the testimony that he
knew of Agnes Barrettes complain,
against the Gingles girl. He said she
had worked for him at French Lick
Springs.
The gist of Thomas Taggart's testi
mony. which consumed less than nj
teen minutes, was that he does no,
know what White Slave" Is: that hs
knows Agnes Barrett only in a bust
ness way and that she had q lace store
In French Lick Springs. Indiana. and
that no bad characters are allowed In
his hotel in French Lick. and that hi
never knew or heard of Ella Gingles

COUNTY IS A LOSER
Receives Less School Money
From State Than It Pays
In Annually.
WAS $1,000 DECREASE

The semiannual distribution OF
school funds by the state superinten-
dent OF public instruction shows that
because OF the small number Of school
children. Wayne county receives from
the state Sll.24s.71 less than il pays
in. The county pays into the states
educational fund $Sl.S&9.79 and re-
ceives as its share only $2O.40:OS.
The disparity is due to the lack OF
children, the total number being but
I9,Sis.
The excess paid by Wayne county
helps support the schools of other
counties. The distribution Is made on
a per capita basis. The amount of
money received is divided by the num-
Der OF children and the fund issued
accordingly.
