A BIBLE CONFERENCE.

At the first Baptist church of Min
neapolis the Northwestern Bible Con-
ference is having it's sessions now, in
which many Protestant denominations
are participating, and which is to con-
tinue until September 3. Among our
Protestant neighbors there are still
many earnest students of the Bible
and they are not necessarily clergy
men either. They study the Bible as
the word of God they study it for
its unfolding of the Divine plan of
salvation, according to Christian doc
trine. That is its chief Importance to
them. The modern Jew has no such
interests in his Bible.
And yet, would it not be we'll for
us, too, to have Bible conference
occasionally, for an intelligent dis
cussion, study and Interpretation of
our Bible? Consider: Our Bible is
the one glorious inheritance we have
carried along with us from our past.
1t is one of the classics of the worlds
ancient literature, perhaps of all litera-
ture. The entire civilized world has
paid us the compliment of accepting
it as such. 1t contains the hopes, as
pirations, ideas and doctrines of our
remote ancestors as voiced by their
noblest spirits, their prophets, sages
and scribes. And it contains the

chronicles of our ancestors and the
materials for their history covering a
period of at least 500 years.
Should we Jews not follow the ex-
ample of our religious minded Christ
ian neighbors and set aside some
periods at regular intervals for Bible
study and discussion? We should
study our Bible for the purpose of
familiarizing ourselves with Our an
cient history, of approaching and en-
joying Our old literary treasures. We
should study our Bible still more for
the purpose of instruction in the
fundamental principles of human
right and duty, justice, liberty and
democracy. In the clear-cut, simple,
emphatic and eloquent formulation of
the fundamental principles of re-
ligion and social and individual ethics
the old Jewish masters have not yet
been surpassed. And in these times
Of social trouble and turmoil, of dis
content and discord, of strain and
strife, the unchallenged doctrines of
our religious teachers of old must
serve us as chart and compass to guide

Observation-Disclosures
: EDl 1TORlAL
ETHICS IN THE PUBLIC
SCHOOL.

We are utterly opposed to ethical
instruction in the public school. Our
public schools must be absolutely Sc
cular. While the introduction of
ethical instruction might seem COM
mendable, it would nevertheless be
extremely dangerous to the non-sec-
tartan principle of our public school
system and, thereby, to the democracy
and growth of our country. The
greatness of our proud republic is
due solely to its ability, through our
public schools, to assimilate and
Americanize all classes and masses of
citizens. This, however, it can only
accomplish as long as our schools re-
main thoroughly democratic and
purely secular. The introduction of
ethical teaching in the public school
would soon lead to religious, denom-
national and sectarian teachings,
from which our schools must be kept
free.
Even if it would be strictly under
stood that only pure ethics were to be
taught, and even though the text
books to be used were non-sectarian,
religious instruction, in some form or
other, would necessarily creep in.
Whatever the text the Interpretation
The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1916-08-25

thereof would inevitably have to be
left to the individual teacher. But
ethics, as everybody knows, is very
intimately connected with religion, in
asrnuch as all religion worthy of the
name contains many or most of the
principles of ethics. Consciously or
unconsciously, the majority of teach
ers would, therefore, be doing some
religious preaching alongside of their
ethical teaching 1t would be most
natural for them to give to ethical
doctrines that Interpretation with
which they are most familiar and
which appeals to them most strongly,
namely, the one that is in conformity
with their own religious beliefs. Thus,
the ethical teachings in our public
schools would in the majority of cases
be tinged by the color of the particu
lar form of faith to which the teach
ers happened to belong.
AS a matter of fact, our public
school is not meant to mould the
child's conscience. That function be-
longs exclusively to the home, the
church and the Sunday school. Our
public schools are state institutions,
and, as such, they have no right or
reason to take up task that does not
rightly belong to the state. Hence,
any attempt on the part of the state
to go beyond the provision for pure
ly secular teaching, even to the ex-
tent of introducing ethical instruction,
would be an infringement upon the
rights and an interference with the
duties of individuals.

THE DEATH OF PROFESSOR
PHILIPPSON.

The toll of death among Israel's
sons who have attained prominence in
science or literature has been extreme
ly heavy this year. Both here and
abroad fresh graves cover the mortal
remains of men whose passing from
this earth meant severe loss to man
kind in general and our own people
in particular. Enrich, Neisser, Mel
dola and Metchnikoff in the realm of
science, Reines, Macoby, Brann,
Schechter, Jacobs and Shalom Alei-
chem in the field of letters and litera-
ture are names that at once suggest
themselves of those whose death sad
dened Israel and the nations within
the last twelve months.
The latest to pass to the great Be
yond is Professor Martin Philippson
of Berlin, who died last week at the
age of seventy. Professor Philipp-
son, whose father was the famous
rabbi and author, Ludwig Philippson,
was one of the savants who enrich
the field of Jewish lore and literature
and at the same time promote knowl-
edge and learning among the nations.
His chosen field of labor was that of
history, in which subject he attained
fame and prominence and to which
he contributed more than a score of
learned works. His faith stood great
ly in the way of his advancement and,
when he was appointed to the chair
of history at the University of Ber-
lin, in 1877, Emperor William l. re-
fused to confirm his appointment, de-
spite the fact that Philippson had but
a few years previously, during the
Franco-Prussian war, volunteered to

FOUR FOLD BENEFIT
From Two Grand Medicines-Hood's
SarsapariIia, Peptiron Pills.

You know that physicians often give
two prescriptions, perhaps more. for
medicines to be taken together, or al
ternately or at different times.
One reason may be that the medi-
cines are 'incompatible"-do not agree
when closely mixed in takirg-or that
desired results cannot be secured by
one medicine alone.
The most successful combination
medicine treatment that we know of is
in Hoods SarsaparilIa and Peptiron
Pills. The former eXpels impurities
from the blood, creates an appetite
and promotes digestion and natural
action of the kidneys and liver, while
Peptiron Pills give the powerful tonic
they literally put iron into your
blood'-that Just balances the re-
quirement Of perfect health.
Patients taking both report the
benefit is ur-fold-prompt, positive
and permanent. Sold by all druggists
