CONTINUE PLANS FOR
RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
(continued from frst pagel

of Education the past week the sub
ject was discussed and it was de-
cided to defer action until after the
survey to be made by Service Cit
liens. In this connection the pro-
gress being made by a committee of
Tennessee citizens will be most
timely. In that state a Protestant
Catholic and a Hebrew have been
delegated to write such a textbook.
How they are succeeding will not
be known possibly for a year. The
fact that in 80 states now religious
instruction is being promulgated in
the public schools in some sections
of those cOmmonwealths, is pointed
out by boosters of the idea as rea-
sons why Delaware should get in
line.
In discussing the idea DR.. Hollo-
way, in charge of the public schools
of the state, said:
To Strengthen Faiths.
"It is not merely better boys and
girls that we want to see come
about from such a plan as religious
education. But rather, better Pro-
testants, better Catholics and better
Hebrews.
zone of the means of determining
whether we should have religious
education in the schools" said DR..
Holloway, might be obtained from
learning what has been the accom-
plishments of institutions of learn
ing that give religious education. |
In other words do the graduates of |
divinity schools, parochial schools |
and other places that emphasize re-
ligion, make better men and women
who more closely obey the laws and
conduct themselves on a higher
plane than the graduates of our
High Schools? If they do, then that
would seem like pretty good evil
dence of the worth of the plan.
"It would seem to me that if the
courts could furnish us with data
the unfortunates who
have been tried and convicted of
some crime and sentenced to serve
certain periods in durance, it would
be rendering a splendid service to
he community. In seeking to es-
ablish sufficient reason for launch
ng religious education in the pub
ic schools, if we knew that the
greater number of persons serving
| prison sentence had had no re-
igious instruction, that would be a
sood argument to see if things could
lot be improved by having such in
truction in the schools.
"There are complications to the
Dlan for religious education that
must be met" continued DR.. Hollo-
way, "and this has to do with the ]
aren't, who do not wish their chill
ren to be excused from regular les ]
ons for religious education. Some
hing must be arranged to employ 4
hese pupils in worthwhile tasks
uring the time that the others are
ttending some church or place for !
eligious education. I have suggest
d that perhaps moral or character I

for those who remain in "

Some people still refer to it as the
Red Cross Christmas Seal, but this
is an error. Not since 1919, when
the growth of the Christmas Seal
effort became so tremendous that it
was necessary to separate the two
organizations, has the Red Cross
been identified with the Christmas
Seal. At this time and since 1919
it has been the Christmas Seal and

BIRTH CONTROL
 STRONGLY URGED
Called Preventive Of Nervous
 Disorders

New York, March 30.---Legalized birth control as preventive of ner- vous disorders arising from sex sup pression is one of the greatest neces- stiles of civilization, Dr. W. r. Roble of Baldwinvillo, Mass, told the Inter- national neo-malthusian and birth control conference today, Birth control Is harmless, reii- gious, human, and 1t should be le- gal" he declared. If civilization is to continue to be worth while, in that 1t signifies in- creasingly health, happiness, high ideals. altruism and progress. there must be less mental conflict, which is the harbinger of neurosis.
 "The greatest source of all neuro- sis is admittedly the conflict between the fundamental, instinctive desire for mating, with reproduction as a consequence, and the taboos and con- ventions which have been built up against It."
 He declared that many divorces and wrecked homes can be attribut- cd to lack of reliable information on the part of married couples.
 Miss Doris Stevens, vice president of the National Woman's party, said that "as man has always sanctified what he most fears, so he sanctifies woman.
 Out of this fear-inspired sanctif- cation has come the hideous attach ment of guilt to sex" she declared.

 Day.
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Chicago, March 30.--"The book that formed the characters of the founders and Abraham Lincoln, the saviour of this republic--the Bible should be the first book in every public school, instead of being the only book barred from our public schools" Henry Hooker Van Meter, Of the Zible league, declared in an nd- dress today before the Michigan Alumni association of Chicago.
 The Bible should be read at the opening of every public school on every school day, Dr. Van Meter as- serted.
 Bible reading in public schools is an. American custom, sanctioned by the practical construction of all American courts for more than two centuries." continued the speaker, but teaching of sectarian tenets, by Jews or Gentiles, Protestants or Catholics, instead of the essentials of morality, only as found in the Bible, is contrary to all American custom and dangerous to national unity"
 Massachusetts, New York city Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Tennes- see Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Maine and Delaware have adopted statutes requiring Bible reading, it is said, while similar measures now before the Ohio, Iowa, Washington, and other state legislatures requiring Bible reading without comment" in their public schools.
