Jlie relation, of our public ehoola to the teach--ng of re ligion, considered distinctively, as such, ; havJfltf tn PUI twoweeka, been quite tlior- - Roughly discussed" in the Orrgonkau." It la now k "question Uppermost In .utleiub mind, ytnd " cohequentfy thl" U ai opjwftom monient to -apeak of it lu the column ol the Advotvitc Of 1 .course we" cannot dacusa it at great iengthr but will do ao dispassionately. (Vrtainjy this jaer ill.not be suspected of a waii t ot religious bias for It js a ."Christian" taper of set design, and of thorough conviction as such. ! , i "It has appeared to us .thatJLlU''h Tia leen clsltned on the tide of those Who liiay be claimed as, .., opponents to our public school system aiid work,. L i and conceded by their defenders, that has no foun- datioti In the facts of the case TJieir opponents assail the. schools a godless. V . Too often thejr defenders concede, In', facta. If. not in terms, that 'godlessness, and apologize for It. This charge. is made and this d fense ollered, without the writers ' going back to foundation facts and ascertaining If yr, the charge ha a basis In" truthfNow; tif by "godless'' Is meantJthat they are not sectarian not Methodist, nor Presbyterian, not Episcopalian, nor Roman lt we could concede the, premise, if It was sotated, and nroeeeq to vindicate them on that very ground.- But If that "Statement means that they are "godless" in the sense or teaching atheism, or even In the aense of denying the moralities of Oodfs word; or Inculcating a blas phemous Irreverence to that word or to God him- -self, we utterly deny the truth of ; the charge. They are In no such., sense "godless,'! but along the lines of a broad and enlightened religious catholicity they teach the existence of (Jod, the truth of morals, the sanctions of law. the reality and merit of right, and"the crime and demerit of wrong. - And we further say that beyond these generalacts and principles, which are the actual basis of all truereligioiiihey ought not to go. -This Is obvious ffm their' very name and place in . the economies of civilization. They are public What Is that thing that we call "the public t? It is not Ilomanishi, Melhodisnv nor anv other ecclesiasticisnirr lt Is not at lHlsm. nor deism, tmr any other form of disbelief. It. Js the. wholeness of a peopleTrotii their richest wealth to'thelr deep est overty; from their strictest orthodoxy to ' their broadest liberality;eohstitutii)g;' 'aiJoody whosetiaturar rights are equal, and nodepend-enfc-n any claim of ecclesiasticism. Schools, therefore, cannot be' sectarian. If they are sectarian, they are not public; if public,' not sectarian. Their domain of teaching and work Js outside of such limits for which, as a conserva tive fact and force, wo are devoutly grateful.., A t Henipt, therefore, to disguise It as men may, the quarrel with'our public school system Is simply ' the raving of a narrow sectarianism against the ' culture of a broad manhood a manhood that is greater and nobler than sect. . - But we are prepared to go further ami say, that in the things actually taught in the public schools there is no amenability to this charge of "godless-ness.V- They teach science, but science I full of .God. As we understand It, (Hod is in It and through It, above It and below It, b'foreUatid be hind it. ' Science only discloses God's modes, of working and acting. There can be no " godless " science! iliey-teach literature and history, but God pervades alLUda; History is but Clod's tep- Fings down the agea' and the epochs orthe past. n hortrthere1s abs6loteryru)lhIngtauKht Iii our public schools that Js truly open to the charge of "godiessness." ". Of course We understand that this charire Is based more on what Is not taught than on what is,' : The church, It is said, Is Ignored, her authority set at naught, andherrlghty to ..dlciate'jiuHects and modes of education trampled upon. If we could first determine what that thing la that Is Called "the church,"- and what are the rltrMful . limits of Iw authority over questions of this kind, we should he under clearer skies. If It is meant that any single denomination of professed Chria llian a distinguished fronf any otlier denomina tion, is "the church," we must say nay to.lhat. Or if it Is meant that" "the church" in that sense Is to lecome the State, and Impose laws of thought and learning on other. Beets, ttnd on the "multitude of no stn-ts, we give a more emphatic . nay to that. We do not see how such claim can be put on -any other ground, and so, without at- tempting to give Here the arguments by which we are let! to It, we enter our prompt rejection of all such claims. There Is something In the opposition our, public -wchools are encountering that apears to us en- ; tlrely un-American. The translation of the tra ditions, the prejudices, the Indoctrinations, that have tainted the Intellectual and religious life of Europe from the dark ages, Into the system of American thought and life, is the basis of this controversy.- The American idea Is that religion Is above Church, above, clergy, above dogma. i It la that man hood Is before priesthood, -before or dinances, before sacraments. That all these are IatedTJea of which we speak Is the reverse of this. There is nothing that is more distinctively the SELECTED VERSE, A KTKU THK MTOHM.
