School Board in instrueting that the
Bible be read daily hereafter in the
public schools. 2s'
"The Public School Board Of the
city of Richmond at its meeting last
Monday evening" said DR.. Caisch,
""adopted resolution to the effect that
as religious influence and instruction
were very desirable things ito pc
brought to bear upon children during
the impressionable years of their
school fe,they, the board, requested
the teachers in the schools Of the city
to open THAR daily sessions with read
ings from the Bible. l desire to call
the action to your attention in order
that you might realize the full pur-
port of it. Seemingly innocent on the
surface, and apparently unobjection
able in its motive, the action of the
School Board nevertheless has very
far reaching effect that is dangerous
to the welfare of the city and the
state. While it is true that at the
botetom it purely American ques-
ton and should be considered on the
strict basis of Americanism, yet be-
cause we Jews, together with some
others, are most vitality affected, it be-
hooves US to take notice of this resolu-
ton.
81 have no doubt that the members
of the board had the best of intentions
in it's adoption. But they either did
not see, or if they did see, they did
not concern themselves over the fact
that this action involves a question
which strikes at the very fundamental
spirit of American institutions. 1t
means the introduction of religious ex
ercises,an no doubt sectarian religi-
Gus exercises, in public institutions
where they have neither place nor
reason. The authors and supporters
of this resolution may honestly be-
lieve that they are. not tresspassing
on the rights of any individual. But it
is very difficult for the average indi-
vidual of a majority to be able to rec
ognize and acknowledge the rights
of the minority.
at is not here the time nor place
to make such protest or defense as
needs to be made. But 1 desire these
truths to be voiced and il possible
recognized"

MEASLES IS
PREVALENT.

Alexandria, like many other cities
in Virginia, at the present time Is
undergoing a slight epidemic OF
measles which so far has not number
ed any fatal results. At the same
time precautions are being taken 10
prevent lis spread.
Measles is too often regarded as
one of The necessary ills of childhood,
and SO treated lightly. 1t is seldom
fatal to children over two years of
age Among younger victims the
mortality is heavy. But aside from
the immediate danger of death, the
disease is peculiarly hard on children
in its after effects. 1t is possible
that some of those who are now recov-
ering will pay heavy penalties in eye
and throat troubles and in undermined
vitality. A subordinate, but not unim-
rortant, consideration is the money
cost of such an epidemic. Each sick
child is drain on the family purse,
and families least able to bear added
burdens arc those most liable to be
afflicted.
For these reasons, and for the broad
human desire to mitigate infant suf-
fering, both teachers and parents must
CO. operate to stamp out the contag:on.
At no time is the social nature OF
disease better illustrated than in such
visitation. Schools and Sunday
schools are the chief means of spread
Ing the disease. Each case is breed
ing center for others. Children must
be protected against contracting
measles and, on the other hand, when
one has contracted it, the individual
mus. be prevented from spreading the
contagion. Too frequently mothers
and fathers are careless of the obvious
duty they owe the children of others.
Two main points may DE emphasized
in stamping out ';he disease. It is al
ways contracted by direct contact with
the person, never through third per-
son or by touching the clothing BY
impressing this on children, parents
might help to stay the epidemic. Sec
ond, child may spread the disease
before he himself actually shows plain
symptoms of having n. This calls
for the prompt isolation OF suspicious
cases.

RED JACKET AND HIS GRAND
SON-COLONEL PARKER
Communicated

Colonel Richard Parker was the
grandson of the famous Indian Chief
Red Jacket, pure blooded Indian, in
telligent and educated, gentleman
and Mason; we believe, master of
a lodge in Galena, Ills.
At the banquet in Chicago, at the
tri-ennial meeting, Bro. Parker was
"calIed out" and made speech wor-
thy of preservation. He spoke Of him
self as almost lone remnant of what
was once noble race ;of his strIg-
giles in coming forward to manhood,
and seeing his race thus wasting
away, he asked himself:
"Where shall l go When the last Of
my race shall have gone Forever?
Where shall 1 find home and SYM
patty when our last council fire is eX-
tinguished? l said, l will knock at
the door of Masonry, and see if the
white race will recognize me. as they
had my ancestors, when we were
strong and the white men were weak.

Lodge, and found brotherhood around
it's altar; l knelt before the Create
Light in the Chapter, and found COM
partnership beneath the Royal Arch,
entered the encampment, and found
a valiant Sir Knight willing to shield
me there without regard to race or
nation. I went further, l knelt ate
the cross of my Saviour and found
Christian brotherhood the crowning
charity of the Masonic tie.
| feel assured that when my glass
is run out, and l shall follow the foot
steps of my departed race, Masonic
sympathy will gather around my cof
fin and drop into my lonely grave the
evergreen acacia,-sweet emblem of
meeting in the better home above.
If my race shall disappear from this
continent. l have the consoling hope
that our memory will not perish. II the
deeds of my ancestors shall not live
in story, their memories will remain
in the names of your lakes and rivers,
your towns and cities
After giving utterance to these elo-
ouent and touching words, he sat
down "amid the solemn silence and
deep emotion of the guests"
His words had walked an echo in
every heart. and "eyes unused to
weep give tribute to tears. Silence

READING THE BIBLE

As had been anticipated the action
