DR.. Thomas Stresses
Need of Religious
Education for Child

Speaking from the viewpoint of an
educator who has made an intensive
study of all branches of the educa-
tional system of Maine in his capa-
city as State Commissioner of Edu-
cation DR.. A. o. Thomas addressed a
large congregation at the Vesper SER
vice at the Universalist church Sum-
day afternoon on the subject, 1.-The
Value of Religious Education to the
State" This talk was the fourth in
series being given each Sunday af-
ternoon by prominent clergymen and
officials on topics of widespread in
terest. Mrs. Jessie Moody. church
organist played several selections,
Miss Hazel Drawn sang a soprano
solo, while Frederick Folsom render
ed a clarinet solo.
DR.. Thomas said In part:
1.-THE public schools. being support
ed by people of all religious beliefs,
faiths and creeds and even by I'M
believers and attended by all, can
not with safety indulge in religious
instruction" continued DR.. Thomas.
1--WE must accord the parent the
right to bring up his child in his own
faith and can justly lay no obstacle
in his way to prejudice his children,
even though his faith may not be
our faith.
Religious instruction, however,
should have a prominent place in ev-
cry child's educational program.
Nothing has ever been discovered to
take it's place and while the school
cannot do the teaching 1t should CO.
operate in giving the child an OPP
portunity to get the particular kind
of teaching the parent desires for
his children.
Several methods Of cooperation
are proposed, part time instruction In
religious day schools, on the Bar Har-
Dor plan. vacation religious schools
on the Rumford- Mexico plan and
Bible instruction for high school and
college credit under the plan carried
on by our state board appointed by
the state commissioner of education.
If these plans, some of them, could be
developed broadly and universally
enough there would be no necessity
of any person taking his children out
of the public schools because of
lack of opportunity for religious study
of bis own kind.
Although no purely religious
teaching can be carried on In our

II am not disturbed about our re-

gion. I can see no real grounds for
conflict between science and God. AS
I see it, Science is Gods laws made
manifest Most of us believe in God,
most of us in science, most of us be-
velopment which science calls evol-

one order of man to higher within
the species, or 1t may mean the kind

us we even yet think Darwin had
some provocation.
PERSONALLY l object to a teaching
which does away with God and
leaves only Science that would be to
accept the result, and deny the cause.
We are told that we are in the image
of God. I take 1t this means as a
race. Most of us cannot be a perfect
likeness, but we may all be like him
in spirit. To deny evolution would
be a betrayal of science which is the
basis of our material program. 1t
should also be at the basis of our
spiritual science.
II am less concerned as to whence
I come than whittier I am going. Out
of this confusion will come a clearer
vision and a broader tolerance"
