Show I.IIKIItH AS I TAUT OF I.DIH UIOV. Wt; have leforn us on artlclo from the IS'i w Vork School Juurnut, on the sul Ject of religious liachlng In rho-ds. The topic It dltusaed front a purely educational etandtiolnt, and la therefore there-fore unbiased. One portion of It affords an examrlo of the failure of an at temt, lu Kngliud, to give rtllglouv lessons through tbo Instrumentality ol clergymen, to chlldrcu after school hours. The -rlnclral roisom given at the cause for the system proving Ineffective Inef-fective Is that "the children are tire I, Instruction Is unsatisfactory, n mw man comes In to lake tbe place of the regular teacher, etc." An effort uf n tlrnlUr character was made here, but collatned, through causit that were ex plained In a report male at the la'o Conference of Ibis Htake. Iheyournaf st.tea that It Is a Vexed question, whethir a ihlll cau be trained up ethically, and become uptight, up-tight, honest and successful without rdlglout Instruction. It exclaims: "la the admitted Increase of crime among young men due to the Increase of church ludlllreno? 1( to, then church Instruction must be halite I upon In all our schools." At If In partial auiwrr to this lulerrogitory the article alt is4)s: "The i.l.l theologians behaved that there It no -wjntble way uf miking children good but by making them religious. re-ligious. Now hero Is a very liiimrtant question. Wo muslbaveinallourerhiHiU moral grit and tone, If we have nothing ete. The lale Mr. Turin;, head maMcr of tbe fsuieus Upplngbt u School, nils pronounced religious man, and gave his pupils iinmls akahly chinch illtt. Tliero Is no question but that his work was eminently sutveinful, lteclally waa he able to turn out a larao number ul upright, tlod.fearing young moo, who became dtlngiilsbirl In tnrlous walks of life. Another tuih a luati as Mr. Tlirlng was Thomas Arnold) no mtn lu Hngland ha I moro prooounctd viow on rtllglout questions than he." We could furnish number! of ex-am ex-am let of the benetlttof religious Instruction In-struction as a inrluf education through tbo Instrumentality of denominational or church schools In this Territory, hut we differ from the Journal lu Hi view at to the possibility of the Introduction Intro-duction of training of this character Into the ubtlo schools anywhere In thla Itepubllc. It It not practicable, nor would It Le Juit under our form of government. Trie Impracticability of It la almost self cvlleut. All c!aica of citizens nra entitled totheiitoof the public schools, and If It should be de elded that religion ahoull betautht therein, the question of'whlchtellglon" would at onco smash the i roposltlon to lay nothing of those who aro In no way rellgloua and whoso rights In tho (remises are entitled to as much uspect at those of any other claw. Iu the face of these ubltaclel the Jomi'll holds that the Introduction of religious Instruction into the rublio schools l poaslble, providing that It be clear that It It necessary. It IllustraUa lu position lu thla way: "Nothing Is Impossible that Is notes sary. This Is a fundamental principle. If It were necessary to tunnel tho Hocky .Mountains, It would be dono. A eunal from the Atljnlhi to tho IVclAo Isu ucoos tttyt somebody will build It even though the l'auama scheme Is a lillure. If thurch teaching la necessary for tho snl vellan of the worll then church tca.li lug must bo enforood lu all our schoohi." The comparison la not appropriate. The difference lu overcoming ph) steal st-eal obstsclce no ai to tuuni 1 tho Hocky Mountains, and excavating a put ageway through the In-tltutlona of a frwi Kovtrumeut la very great. The one li n mere feat of engineering skill, by which the mountains aru not materially changed, the other would require the whole governmental ilrucluru to bo altered by a revolutionary prineie that would re temble a selstulo disturbance. While we lelleve religions Instruction Instruc-tion to be an essential part of the training train-ing of n child to enable him tu develop yruinetrlcally,thatartof hli education must Le Imtiarlcd outside of the public schools. Any strong attempt to have It otherwise In this country would causa an agitation here, compared with which tho dliturbince In Urrmany over the Kaiser's et educational measure would lie at a fly speck ton mountain.
