The BIBLE IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS

reading, without note or comment, Of
judiciously selected passages, II, Of
course, obvious. A great modern phil
osopher-perhaps the greatest-has
said that persistent iteration Ia the
most effective means Of forcing alien
conceptions upon reluctant minds.
Whether it is prudent or polite to
permit Bible reading in the public
schools is a question for the public
school authorities to determine, but
whether the practice of Bible reading
has taken the form of sectarian in
struction in particular case is
question for the courts to determine
upon evidence. 1t cannot be presumed
that the law has been violated; the
alleged violation must in every in
stance be established by competent
proof. The value of the common
schools as disseminators of knowledge
and social Jewelers. is well understood
and justly appreciated, and there is
little likelihood that the people will
ever permit their usefulness to be i'm
paired by sectarian controversies.
When we consider that this is the first
case of its kind ever presented to this
court for decision, we feel assured that
neither teachers nor school boards
have been much inclined to bring dis
cord into the schools for the chance of
securing by indirection a slight Sec
tartan advantage. But if the fact
were otherwise, it could not in any
way affect our conclusion. The Sec
ton of the Constitution which pro-
vides that mo sectarian instruction
shall be allowed in any school or in
stitution supported in whole or in part
by the public funds set apart for ed
ucational purposes" cannot, under any
canon of construction with which we
are acquainted, be held to mean that
neither the Bible nor any part of it,
from Genesis to the Revelation, may
be read in the educational institution
fostered by the state. We do not
wish to be understood as either coun-
tenancing or discountenancing the
reading of the Bible in the public
schools. Even where it is an irritant
element, the question whether its legit-
innate use shall be continued or dis
continued is an administrative and
not judicial question; it belongs to
the school authorities, not to the
courts.-The New Age.

(The following u the decision Of the SUE
case Of The STATE '. schsvs. Is Nsb.. s5s.
upon the question Of the legality and propriety
Of reading the Bible in the public schools Of
that state. The opinion was written BY chisf
hearing Of the easel
Certainly the Iliad may be read in
the schools without intoxicating a be-
lief in the Olympic divinities, and the
Koran may be read without teaching
the Moslem faith. Why may not the
Bible also be read without indoctri-
mating children in the creed or dog
ma Of any sect? Its contents are
largely historical and moral; its Ian
guage is unequalled in purity and ele-
gance; it's style has never been sur
passed; among the classics Of our lit
erature it stands pre-eminent. It has
been suggested that the English Bible
is, in a special and limited sense, a
sectarian book. To be sure, there are,
according to the Catholic claim, vital
points of difference with respect to
faith and morals between it and the
Douai version. In a Pennsylvania
case cited by counsel for respondents,
the author of the opinion says that he
noted over fifty points Of difference
between the two versions, some of
them important and others trivial.
These differences constitute the basis
of some of the peculiarities of faith
and practice that distinguish Cathol-
icism from Professionalism and make
the adherents of each distinct Chris
tan sect. But the fact that the King
James translation may be used to in
culcate sectarian doctrines affords no
presumption that it will be so used.
The law does not forbid the use of the
Bible in either version in the public
schools, it is not prescribed either by
the Constitution or the statutes, and
the courts have no right to declare it's
use to be unlawful because it is pos
sible or probable that those who are
privileged to use it will misuse the
privilege by attempting to propagate
their own peculiar theological or &C.
clesiastical views and opinions. The
point where they should intervene
without hesitation is where legitimate
use has degenerated into abuse
where teacher employed to give Sec
ular instruction has violated the Con-
stitution by becoming a sectarian pro-
pagandist. That sectarian instruc-
ton may be given by the frequent
