The Jewish monitor. (Fort Worth-Dallas, Tex.) 191?-1921, 1920-03-05

There is hardly any need to
speak here of the grave dangers
that lie in the path of Bible
reading, even without comment.
The Bible can be used for prop
uganda purposes, without COM
ment. There are portions of the
Bible that can poison the minds
OF children, even when read
without comment, when this is
desired. There are portions of
the Bible unfit for children to
read - and though it is taken
for granted that no teacher
would read such portions, yet
the first named facts are true,
and the dangers are great.
The claim is made that our
children are growing up without
a moral education. If that is so,
it is the fault of the church or
the fault of our textbooks. Nor
ais can be taught without the
Bible in the schools-they can
be taught through stories in the
books, which are absolutely I'M
sectarian and neutral, so far as
church classification is con-
cerned.

THE TREND OF THE TIMES.

A number of protests have
been received of late, regarding
what seems to be the efforts of
many church organizations to
religionize the public schools.
Alabama has recently passed a
law making reading of the Bible
without commentary, compul-
sorry in the public schools. An
effort was made to have the
Bible read in the public schools
OF Arizona, and after the bill
was passed by the legislature,
the governor vetoed it. In the
constitutional convention of Ne
braska, a clause was passed by a
majority of one vote, providing
for the compulsory reading of
the Bible in the schools, and
now Illinois church organiza-
lions are working on a similar
bill in the constitutional conven-
ton of that state. Some years
ago the Illinois State Supreme
Court ruled that reading the
Bible in the public schools was
unconstitutional, and now those
who believe in it, want to be
sure to make it the law of the
state.
The Jewish monitor. (Fort Worth-Dallas, Tex.) 191?-1921, 1920-03-05

Justice, righteousness, mercy,
consideration and the other vir-
tues are not Christian, in spite
of the allegations of fanatics
and to teach these virtues, one
does not need to be a member
of any church or sect. 1t is abb
solutely false to maintain that
either the Old Testament or the
The Jewish monitor. (Fort Worth-Dallas, Tex.) 191?-1921, 1920-03-05

New must be read to inculcate
these. Children's minds are cas-
lily impressed by the characters
in the stories they read, or by
the stories of heroes, and in
these-coupled with the skill of
the teacher-does moral instruc-
ton lie. 1t is preposterous to
say that only by studying the
life of Joseph, can a child learn
to be merciful and thoughtful
of his father and brethren. A
thousand stories can be written
in which this theme can be used
with as great effect upon the
child's mind as does the story of
the Bible have. It is just as
preposterous to say that only
through the knowledge of the
life and death of Jesus can chill
dren be taught to know the love
of God for man; as if the love
of God for his children is not
evidenced in a thousand differ
ent ways. These are only two
examples-and they can be null
tiplied.

the news. BuC Cnere are certain
phenomena that we have to take
notice Of. here is a large sec
ton of the Jewish population,
especially the women, who have
become invalids because Of their
plenitude. They have nothing
to do but think of themselves
and most of them could very
easily find other and better
things to think about-but they
don't. The result is that they
do get nervous" and mentally
sick, and then become followers
of those particular fads which
cater to people of that class. We
rather like the idea of attempt
ing to reclaim from non-Jewish
sects, those who have Joined
them because of the spiritual
and healt h satisfaction which
they derive. We would rather
see such folks become Jewish
philosophers than Christian Sci
entists! Seriously, we believe
there is a place for the spirit
ualizing of Judaism to the ex-
tent that it will minister to the
mental wants of those who find
that they need such ministra-
lions.
But one need not 60 outside
the pale of Jewish thought cur
rents for this. Anyone &C
quainted with the Chasidic ira
ditions will find ample analogy
between the OUTER YID of the
Chasidim and the alleged
thought of Christian Science.
Any real Chasid finds as deep
a spirituality in the traditions
and literature of our faith-as
any follower of the departed
priestess of Boston. The prayers
of the Chasidic rabbis, the deep
faith of the Chasidim in their
rabbis and in the God of Israel,
cannot be surpassed by that Of
modern Christian Science-or
New Thought either. The mys-
ticism of Chasidic communion is
as deeply spiritual-and certain
ly to those who believed in it,
as satisfying as is anything out
side Of the currents of the syna-
gogue-and we dare say, though
we can not prove it, that many
a Chasidic neurasthenic found
deep comfort and speedy cure
in the prayers of his rabbi. We
have known of apparent blind
ness to have been cured; we
have heard of cases of epilepsy
and other illnesses, that have
been cured-and there are no
doubt thousands who have been
greatly benefited even by the
"zettels" which they have
strewn upon the graves of de-

such is attempting to encroach
upon the bulwark of our liberty
the public school-and that is
where we must be careful. We
have no right to raise a voice of
protest against what the
church does in the home, in the
church or in the Sunday School;
as a matter of fact, we have
much to learn from the organi-
zation and efficiency of the
church; but we have to fear its
encroachments upon public life
and upon public institutions
and we confess a trepidation
when we contemplate its efforts
in that direction, the many
sidedness Of it's propaganda and
the multiplicity of its professors
and their enthusiasm and act
ivities.
Of course there is a saving
grace. The church is itself a
divided house. When one sect
will become too powerful, others
will arise to break it's power.
Between the upper and the Meth
er millstones the Jews, as usual,
will probably get the worst of it.
But in the process of rivalry and
struggle the most priceless pos
session that we have-American
liberty-too, will be ground, and
the world will be the loser.
We can only see in this insist
ence on introducing religion and
the Bible into the public schools,
a most harmful assault on the
happiness of America. We can
not see any good in the fanatical
propaganda for "Christianizing"
this country through the public
school system; we can see moth
ing ahead of us, if the efforts be
successful, except destruction
and chaos. We can see only in
the success of the church prop
uganda for sectarianizing our
schools, a return to the strug-
giles and the turmoil of the dark
ages.
Still we believe that America
its church forces-will awake
to the danger toward which they
are tending-danger to them
selves, to nom Christians and TO
our beloved country.
The Jewish monitor. (Fort Worth-Dallas, Tex.) 191?-1921, 1920-03-05

The vast funds which are be-
ing collected by the different
sects are missionary funds-let
us not forget that. The millions
that are being turned into the
treasures of the churches are
for the extension and the prop
uganda of the church-and they
have a right and a duty to do
it. The church is a missionary
organism-and we ought to adj
NIT that as an institution it is
doing it's work well. But our
concern is that the church as
The Jewish monitor. (Fort Worth-Dallas, Tex.) 191?-1921, 1920-03-05

On the other hand, what is
the effect on the mind of a
child who hears the story of the
death of Jesus and his cruel
fixion? The tragedies are too
many to be ignored. And let
no one forget that our public
schools are filled with jealous
church members who would be
pleased by nothing more than
by the opportunity to proselytize
through the medium of the
Bible, though they would still
remain within the law. The de-
nunciation of the Pharisees by
Jesus will not stimulate the
friendship and love of Christian
children for their little Jewish
playmates, nor will the story of
the remuneration under Ezra su-
perinduce kindly feelings to-
wards each other. 1t is simply
impossible, unless careful COM
pendulum of biblical passages be
made-and this will not satisfy
the fanatics though we may
have to compromise on such a
makeshift.

NEW PLANT TO
MAKE MITTENS
Glove Company Now Has 600
= Employees Here.

The Senate avenue plant of the Indi-
annapolis Glove Company, Senate avenue
and Thirteenth street, has been opened
for the manufacture of wOrkmen's nit
tens, which formerly were manufactured
sc the plant of the indianapolis Glove
Company, Liberty and Michigan streets.
In addition to the Senate avenue plant
and the one on Michigan street, which
VIII continue the manufacture of gloves,
the company has plants at Richmond,
Ind; Eaton, o., and GAINESVILLE, o.
There VIII be employed at the Senate
avenue plant about 80 persons, which
VIII make a total Of about COO persons
working for the company in this city.
When It Is stated that -workmen' $
mittens are made at the Senate avenue
plant, 1t might not mean much to the
average layman, but- when it is realized
that there are about 800 different styles
in these mittens, and that-for example
there are forty different styles for corn
shuckers alone, one better realizes the
magnitude Of the business.
Among the different varieties of shuck-
ers' mittens, which are made with the
nap outside, are those with double
thumbs, and doubl9 sickness through
oaf, and double thickness and two
thumbs of double thickness, and with
, double ends, and with a small strap
around the tops, and-Bell, it would take
q catalogue to do justice to the variety.
Also "a great variety there are mittens
especially made for use in canning fac
tories and for candy pullers, oyster
gatherers, stove polishers and for bath
ing purposes, etc.
This list affords some idea at least Of
the variety.
The new plant is of brick, one story
IN height, with 1900 square feet or
floor space.
It is strictly modern in design and
equipment and is OF fre-proOf construc-
tisA.
