TRUE EDUCATION MUST HAVE RELIC I0US
SETTING.

Ball, Miss, July ID, 19O9.-Editor
Greene County Herald:-Looking O.
yer the County Correspondence De-
partment of the Herald l notice
where School Girl asks Farmer S
Daughter to come again on the grand
and vital subject of Education
and it has set me to studying on
this subject somewhat too. Now l
believe in education as much as any
one if it is the right sort of educa-
ton, and when l say the right sort,
I mean an education where the pu-
pill is taught religion along with 9th
err things. We do not have enough
of religion taught in our public
schools. l noticed some time ago
in New York paper where a band
of Christian men and women were
trying to get committee appointed
to petition Congress to make it a
law that the Bible should be taught
in the schools, along with other
studies and [ think that would be
one of the best laws ever passed. 1t
is not any use for parents to try to
teach their children to be religious
and set good example before them
and then send them to school teach
er that has not got religion; if we
do we will make failure in raising
our children right and in the day of
Judgment God will hold us as parents
responsible for our children.
| think the first thing that the
trustees of our schools should IN
quire of teacher is, if they claim
ang religion and demand that they
teach our children the principles OF
religion along with their other stud
les.
| | do not say that there are no re-
liglous school teachers, bit | do say
that we do not get any of them at
our school; if there be any often
wonder if there is no religion taught
at any of the colleges, if there is why
is it that none of the boys and girls
that 90 from around here don't get
any of it? Orif they do they do not
show it, for the Bible teaches me
that if a person has religion they
wshow it to the world. While | do
| do not meet very many of the boys
and girls that have been to college,
what few | have met do not seem to
lave the kind of religion that suits
me.
Inever went to college myself and
never had much desire to go. Iwould
like to send my children if | could tC
one where they would be taught to
always have God first in everything
and to be taught to always respect
Old age and never to think themsel-
yes bstter than their parents who
have toiled, we might say both day
and night, to raise them and to care
fer them when they were not able to
care for themselves. One of the
saddest things for me to behold is tC
see child that has been sent off tC
school, comes back home and think
he is better than his parents or his
friends, just because he has been of
to college. Such one reminds mt
Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1909-07-30

of the boy that was sent 20 college
by his parents and thought himself
better than they when he came back.
The morning after he came home, at
the breakfast table there were two
fried chickens on a plate, and wish
ing to show how smart he was he
said, Father can prove to you that
there are three chickens on that
plate" His father said, you can
not The boy says Il can" and
placing mis- fork on the first, he said,
this is one, then or the second he
says, this is too, now he says,
"doesn' t one and two make three, "
yes says his father, and | will
take the first one and give your
mother the second one and YOU may
have the third one for being smarter
than your father" And we can all
see this lett the boy without any
chicken and should teach us all not
to get so smart that we would lose
the good things of life.

1t Is a significant conclusion and
one worthy of thought reached by the
American Medical association in its
convention at Atlantic City that the
college influence upon the public
schools OF the country is urging edu.
!cational boards to increase studies so
as to fit children for the higher insti.
buttons In preference to work suited to
the pupils mental abilities and ply
sical requirements. If to this influence
ps due the oVercrowding of children's
minds of which so much adverse crit.
cism Is now made it is one distinctly
detrimental to the individual child and
to the nation at large. As compare.
lively few of the pupils of the public
schools reach college, a forcing pro-
cess which benefits the few only at
the expense of the many, is a system
OF popular education which calls for
medical revision as uniting the ma
1orlty for the needs of the ordinary
and average business life.
