PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND THE BIBLE
A resident of our adjoining
county of Sully, MIR. S. Wander
kolk, has written an 'open letter"
addressed to the school teachers Of
that county, for the purpose of
urging them to use the Bible as a
text book in their schools, and the
Onida journal and Agar Argus
publish it without comment. We
quote the first paragraph of the
letter, as follows:
''There is not an intelligent in
dividual living but will admit that
the teachings of Christ are good
and can be safely taught in the
schools; and there is scarcely pa
rent, we might say. but would
wish that his or her children could
hear more of Christ's teachings"
But few people will object to
the above sentiment. Mr.. Wander
kolk's letter, however, was writ
ten for the purpose of urging the
utility (some people would say ne
cessity) Of teaching the Bible
(by which they mean religion,
Christianity, or denominational-
ism, according to their bias or
foreign hirth,) in the public
schools"
With this sentiment, or position.
The Press does not wholly agree;
and in explanation, we will simply
state that we look upon the Bible,
as we'll as upon other religious
and political questions, from the
standpoint of a critic.
What The Press is in favor of
is that only the Ten Command
ments and the Lords Prayer
should be used in the common
schools of the state, up to the
twelfth or high school grade, as a
Textbook. Any teacher of ordin-
ary capacity can get sufficient re-
ligion out of that much of a Text
Book to give the average child a
good name and character.
The trouble with teaching the
Bible in the public schools, is that
every man, or somebody, wants to
teach their Religion along with it.
We are in favor of teaching
Religion in the public schools as
soon as the people of the state
j. e., the patrons of the schools
come to an agreement as to what
Religion is. In the meantime we
should like to see q Text Book in
troduced into the public school
system bearing the title, ''Moral
and Political Science" (or Philos-
ophy).

Will Extend Sidewalks
Commercial Club and City Coun-
Gil Will Ask Cooperation of
Great Northern

At meeting of the Alberta COM
mercial club held Saturday night ii
was decided to start movement for
the building of sidewalks to the school
house and depot. Alberta has been
growing so fast within the past two
years that walks could not be laid
as fast as required but the matter is
to be looked after right away.
According to the plans discussed Il
was decided to interview the Great
Northern railway officials at St. Paul
in regard to cooperation on the depot
walk. Prof. Grafelman was appoint
ed as a delegate for the job and he
will appear at headquarters this week.
The city council will also be in on
the deal and this body appointed L.
J. Schlatrman to accompany Prof.
Grafelman.
When the depot was erected the
company chose site couple OF
blocks west of the main street and nc
walk has ever been erected. The
street leading towards the depot is
high and dry but makes dangerous
as we'll as inconvenent thoroughfare
for pedestrians. 1t is hoped the com
pany will consider the proposition
about to be laid before them in E
favorable light.
