The Superlntendent evlnces very shalloW
schooling in the principles of Law and Order TO
which ne appeals in assuming that the School OH
GERS Of the Wards in question do not understand or
obey the wishes of the People who elected them
and 10 whom they are responsible VINO has maze
him an interpreter TO these officers OF the Will OF
their constituents? Oar understanding is that they
were elected in distinct and open opposition 10
tickets composed Of respectable citizens particlPa-
ting in the views Of Dr. Reese, and with the clear
understanding that they would not require the
reading of the Bible in any Schools where a res
pectabe portion of the parents preferred that II
should not be read.


We do not know which is the statute" on
(which the Superintendent relies TO sustain The Com
mon Council in lis starving process, though we pre-
sume it is either the School Law OF lSi2 or It's
tender enacted last winter; but we demur to the
superintendent's construction altogether The BIZ
be is not crel,.Getl' from many schools in which
the reading ot portion every morning is not per-
:emptorily exacted Unless we are greatly mistaken,
s,here is no general practice OF reading the Bible
daily in the Common Schools throughout our State
For what purpose, then, Is 1t Vigorously enforced
here


1t is idle 10 seem not 10 see, what every one does
see, that this enforced Bible-readirg IN Schools Is
in truth party Shbbole,h-a weapon Of Nauvlsm-
and is welded with greater ardor aswe approach
Charter Election. a great portion of our Adopted
Citizens are Catholics, whose ideas oil the proper
reverence for and study OF the Sacred Writings do
rot comport with their use as reading book IL
Schoos-at least, this is the popular presumption.
Now it is precisely because part OF our people do
pc rssard with favor this use Of the Bible that it is
So srenuously in sisted on There is no such anxi-
etv manifested 10 have the Bible read in the ten
thousand schools around US wherein ii is not read
and where there would be no serious objection to


its .eudirS. Is it surprising, then, thai the friends
Of genuine and thorough equality IL matters OF
Religion should look with distavor on this bible
crusade? Is any Jew, any inidel, hkeY to be
brought 10 appreciate and reverence the Bible by
the fact that his children are compelled TO read II
or forfeit their rgh, 10 Common School Educa-
donl A-e Catholics likely tc be benefited oy tins
most oiiicous zeal for their spiritual welfare Is
il strange tha, we dislike the whole business, It's
motives, It's managers, and It's means!
