schools and teach their own religion.
Let the STATE give propor'lona'e

OF each school Give the child all the
learning possible, but let II be n blend

The nrst principle to be instilied into
the minds and hearts OF youth Is re-
ngion. Then you have obedience TO
God, TO the parent and TO the State.
This question has been solved In
Germany and In England. II IL m in
aust to The American people to say they
cannot work out q problem which other
countries have 50 successfully solved.
The present public school system 10
entrenched In the public treasury and
tho army Of paid function aries in our
school system Is growing larger and
larger. without benc6ung. in any way.
the education OF the children. Many
of the pupils grow up to be psgans.
and we every day see the conseauences.
The great universities OF the country
were started on religious principles. but
most OF them are to-day far from the
teachings OF thdr founders. Many OF
the Instructors In these institutions are
either atheists or originators OF new
crccds. The students are innuenced by
, tho example and teachings OF these men.
And the result OF this condition IL that
the ranks Of the Socialists and the
Anarchists are being increased CONSTANT
ly from native born Americans.
Socialism and infidelity are the great
est evils mensclng the life OF our ma
ton. These false systems make war on
God. who Is the fountain OF law. OF
right and Of religion. and on the Ten
Commandments. which came from God
and have no meaning without Him.
THE greatest blessing that could hap
pen to this country, socially. politically
and morally. would be a return to the
old-time condition when every school In
tho country was a religious school.
There Is another serious problem OF
the dsy. and that Ia divorce. Divorces
I are Increasing and should be checked.
The way to abolish divorce Is for the
churches to condemn It and to refuse to
recognize II. AZ long as some OF the
churcheS countepance II we cannot ex-
pect to have Il entirely eradlcstcd. I
do not think a national law on the
matter would be entirely effective. The
Catholic Church alone refuses to recoy-
nize divorce"
