WHY PUBLIC SCHOOLS SHOULD
NOT EMPLOY RONfANIST
TEACHERS.

The Jeffersonian: In your pamph-
let Answering Roman Challenge,
on page ., | find this: cardinal
Gibbons save o. a press interview
several years ago, in which he de-
nounced our public schools as one Of
the most dangerous Developments Of
our modern democracy"
In view Of this statement coming
from one OF the highest authorities
in the United States Of the Roman
Catholic church, can Roman Cath
Olci be a consistent Catholic and
hold a position in our public schools,
either as q teacher or controller?
Can they he true Roman Catholics,
or are they stultifying themselves,
and what is the chances for eternal
salvation for these persons? Take
for instance Columbia County, Pa,
has 337 school directors, 1853 are
teachers. 258 are Roman Cath olics,
this is outside the city OF 0hnston.
ohnston has 319 public teachers and
GA are Roman Catholics, SO here are
$50 persons who are communicates
of the church over which Cardinal
Gibbons is the spiritual head, and
he says that the public schools are
the most dangerous development of
modern democracy.
Some Of the leading Protestant
divines claim that the saloon and the
social dives are the most dangerous.
How would it look in the eyes Of the
public if 4S0 of the leading Protestant
church members, conducted and took
prominent part in these dives OF
iniQuity? Who is wrong, will these
480 in Camlina County, Pa, admit
that Cardinal Gibbons lied when he
made this statement, or are they 60
ing to give the lie to this great divine
by going direct against his teachings
The public schools are either right
or they are wrong. If right, why not
give them our united support If
wrong why try to control or teach
them? If we say they are right and
refuse to support them by sending
our children to them, we lie. II we
say they are wrong and persist in
controlling and teaching them, we
lie. Now don't we? Fess US and be
a good American or be a PLATE and
wash your hands of the whole thing.

up with such strange fellows sleeping in the

We notice that our schoomate, Carl Vim

You remember year or two ago. the Tenth

that Carl made on National prohibition

Nice little trick Of BurNell's is this.

Nice little trick of Burvells is this
Remember that the Hon. John Holder is
running against Burwell for Speaker of the
next House, and it would help Burwell quite
little to be the candidate of the Prohibition
lists.
Burwell has been in the Legislature for a
long time, and it is only recently that any
body has heard Of his tearing his shirt in an
effort to speed up prohibition.
Look at the leaders of the prihibition forces
today, and you have to rub your eyes and
wonder if you are dreaming.
Those who are now yelling "bone dry" and
extra session of the legislature are new faces
to those who have watched the fight for prohi-
bition for the past twenty years-they do not
have the stamp of sincerity upon them that
gives you any confidence in what they pretend
