outain our local community of
Bruno in the, form of resolu-
ton adopted by the school board
to have the bible read in our
public school by the various
teachers, without comment. The
opposition insisted that this was
a matter of public concern and
ought to await action until the
annual meeting in July. This
was denied. Then the opposi-
ton maintained that it is illegal
and ought to be tabled until the
attorney general gave his opin-
ion. This carried. Let us
first consider the manner in
which this matter was brought
before the board of education.
A petition was drawn up to the
effect above mentioned. The
advocates thereof canvassed the
community and secured signers
to the same. They were very
careful to keep this matter a
secret to all those whom they
possibly thought to be opposed
to the same. The result was
that the advocates thereof were
at the board meeting as body
and only one of the opposition,
who accidently got wind" of it.,
was at the meeting to voice the
opposition. Although this party
put up a good fight, it was of no
avail against the numerical great
err advocates. And so the petit
tion was railroaded through.
The principal of taxation without
representation was thus naively
carried out.
Even if we were forced to admit
that the majority of the voters
in this district were In favor of
reading the bible in our public
school, this, in itself, does not
Justify such act. A matter involv-
ing our religious convictions is
not a matter to submit to popular
vote for the reason that it is a
right of the minority to maintain
its rights in matters of principle
and conscience against all odds
as long as the same do not in
volve gross offenses against the
common morals of the land or
against it's security in time of
war.
The request to have the attor-
ney general give a decision on
this matter from a legal point Of
view puts him in rather diff
cult and awkward position. The
Constitution seeks to dispose of
these questions with sweeping
concentrations, and it is assumed
that every one knows just what
these things are. But who does?
No one has ever drawn up a salts
factory difnition of them. The
courts almost all dodge them.
When and where does religious
freedom cease to be right and
become a matter for the police?
1t is something the government
keeps on tap, but it tries it's best
to prevent crowding at the bung-
hole.
Personally, | believe, that we
should not attempt any public
act involving religious contro-
versies when we know that our
neighbor may take offense there
by.
The immediate motive for
placing the bible in our secular
school is a matter of common
knowledge. It is nothing more
nor less than a blow directed by
those who have declared war on
the Catholic and on the Jew.
The school teacher holds a public
