Niqerian Superstitions.

"The natives of southern Nigeria,
Africa" says q traveller, "are extreme
~ superstitious. Most of the people
wear some kind of charm around their
neck or waist in the belief that they
are thus protected from Illness or
death from their enemies. When, how
ever. the talisman has lost its sup
posed power and its wearer feels the
hand of death upon him he SUBMITS to
lis fate-he Is wanted by the fetch.
To many places and things they at
tach a superstitious veneration. The
rock found at the source Of the river
limo is considered sacred and as such
is, safely guarded. Every village has
its sacred grove, surrounded by human
skulls, chatties and rotten eggshells on
sticks.
They believe that a spirit haunts
the locality of n murder or the sacred
grove at night, and no native would
pass near such a place during the
darkness. ANY unusual phenomenon
is by them attributed to supernatural
agency Not only has a village it's
good spirit, but also its evil spirit, and
when any misfortune Of any kind over
takes village process of driving out
| the latter is INDUCED in with the help
of much noise and every one beating
+, the walls of the huts with sticks"

Splendid Fight Made by a Freethnker in
Iowa upon Proposed Law on Sunday
Amusements and Bible.
(By A. A. Snow.D
LINEVILLE, IOWA, Mar. s, '09.


Schools. Des Moines, Iowa:
Dear Sir-I thank you for the copy you
sent me of the report of the Educational
Commission regarding the codihcation and
proposed enactment of new school laws for
the State. With all the changes l notice it
is proposed to leave the bible in the schools
as formerly. AS 10 whether the committee
thought no progression could be made in
this particular or whether it was legislation
for a non-progressive part of the people,
| cannot say.
i am opposed to the bible being taught
or read in the schools, or supernatural re-
ligon of any kind therein taught; and as
/ can give good reasons why it should not
| would respectfully ask you to use your
influence to cause this part If the law to
be repealed.
If you will have the patience to read
what | here write, l WILL before / am
through with this letter, promise to prove
to you that to read the bible in school as
required by the Iowa law is to teach ignor-
ance; not only that, but it prejudices the
pupil against accepting truth that might in
after years be presented, and this | will
make so clear that even an orthodox Chris
tan, if well informed intelligent and fair,
will have to admit But / wish to take UP
this subject in order:
The law reads, Sec. II: The bible shall
not be excluded from any public school or
institution of the State, nor shall any child
be requested to read ii contrary to the wish
of his parent or guardian" (2S05) This is
a law with remedy attached said remedy
being in these words, nor shall any child
be required to read it (the bible) contrary
to the wishes of his parent or guardian"
There are other remedies and regulations
in the way of notes written in finer print
underneath the law; they are doubtless
court decisions or rulings OF the State
Superintendent, and are counted as binding
as the law itself. / think these as remedies
are practically worthless; they are sort of
dough pills, or pretenses of cures.
parade of fairness,-al in your eye.
Like the Irishman's prescription for the
cure of the aching of hollow tooth: Fill
the cavity of the tooth with water and then
sit on a hot stove until it boils," and you
have your remedy. But there is this one
redeeming feature of the remedy-it &C.
knowledges the presence of the disease.

farther He may, like a parrot read and
have the children read, any part of the
bible he may select; then he and all the
children may drop on their knees and re-
peat the Lords prayer This prayer, in the
eyes of the Jews, was composed by one of
the three heather gods that their god for
bids to be worshipped What does the
teacher do when he delivers this prayer?
In it he declares his allegiance to the god
of the bible and does the same thing in
the eyes of every child in school, as to
swear that he is the real and true god.
When he reads these words "All scripture
is given by inspiration of god" e Tim. 3:
16) he declares to every scholar in school
whether they do the reading or hear 9TH
ers read that every word of the bible is
true Some may say this passage might
be interpreted another way to make it
mean different from what it seems to say.
Well what of it? There is not one child
in 100000 that would interpret it some
other way, and the teacher is not permitted
to interpret it for them.
The bible says the earth, moon, stars and
all the plants and animals on the earth,
including man, were created within six
days time, while geology proves this false.
But some one says there is some way to
interpret this to make it teach different
from what it seems to teach and that we
must understand the word day" to
mean age" Well. what of it? There is
not one child in 100000 that would under
stand it so, and the teacher is not per-
mtted to explain it. In like manner we
can show and in like manner meet every
objection that can be raised against it, that
the bible and the teacher combined teach
to every child that the earth is four-corner-
ed; that the Copernican theory is a lie;
that the eating of some fruit brought nat
ural death into the world; that man, ami
mails and plants have been on the earth
only about 5000 years; that slavery is
right; that witchcraft is true; that the sick
may be cured by prayer and the laying on
of hands; that there is a personal devil;
that the earth and atmosphere is filled with
demons that sometimes inhabit mems
bodies. And / could name hundreds Of
other lies that are thus taught in our pub
lie schools, which the children will retain,
"ness they are too much infidel to do So
If the bible is all true, it must be the
most ambiguous book in the world; not
only that, but large portions OF it must be
interpreted right opposite to what it seems
to say. 1t is not fit to read to children
without an interpreter
Geology is not taught in our schools, and
if a book is there taught that contradicts
it. the chlds mind Is poisoned against ever

BLUE GRASS BLADE
The Bible in the Public Schools

persons may be wronged by children read
ing the bible in school. Then why may
they may not be wronged by the children
hearing it read? Again the ruling allows
the teacher to require the pupils to read
tle bible until the parent makes a protest;
that it is right to do wrong until the
wronged person makes an outcry. He who
steals my pocket book is immune from
prosecution because l didn't make fuss
until after the property was stolen! Why
do not the rulings make the other fellow
do the following? Why don't they say:
NO teacher shall require pupil to read
the bib.e until he obtains the consent OF
his parent?" Again, let US look at the efiic
iency of this remedy.
A Jew sends his child to the public
schools. /. The child has been required
to read the sacred writings and pray to a
polytheistic triune heather god contrary to
one of the most sacred commandments of
tine Jewish religion perhaps two months
before the Hebrew parent knew anything
of it. g Should the Jew then make a pro-
test against the insult his children, in
many instances, would be sighted and i'll
treated for their opposition to the beauu-
full Christianity that had so graciously and
uprightly prescribed the remedy. 8. The
Jew for making his protests would, in many
cases, be boycotted in his trade by Chris
tians for taking the advantage of the very
remedy that Christians themselves had
prescribed for him. So in tens of thous-
ands of cases, the wronged will either bear
their wrong or silently withdraw their
children from a school that they are taxed
to support. Among the wronged are the
Jews the Roman Catholics, Freethinkers,
Agnostics, and many Others such as the
Unitarians, Universalists and Independents,
who do not believe the bible is all true;
who believe there are many interpretations;
obscene and contrary statements that are
something near half the population.
Now let us look at another of the rene
dies proposed, panacea for the ills of this
holy legislation. The ruling referred to,
says: The teacher must read the bible
without comment: and If he interprets it
he is liable to lose his pay, since such an
Interpretation might shade into favor of
one denomination at the expense of the
other. Sure, there is plenty of remedy in
the arrangement, but who knows that the
say if the teacher is not competent to ex-
plain the meaning of a book, he is not
competent to read that book in school.
