Show PROOF NOT I 1 AS STRONG AS noia WRIT tim tribune of this city cannot desist from its misrepresentation of the school system of this territory this morning it deals in some more generalities and its 16 only attempt at specification is as follows news says no proof can be furnished that the public schools are see sectarian the affidavits of dozens of men and women could be obtained to establish the fact within a week a most accomplished teacher told the writer of this how he was denied a school solely because he was not a mormon N when hen he asked what that had to do with his teaching the usual branches taught in school the answer was everything we want our children taught our laith falth in school theres proof for you it is the usual tribune proof some one told us so within a week 11 conclusive evidence is it not W we do not believe the story anyhow we do not believe anyone told the tribune that any trustees tee of a district school in this city said to a schoolteacher school teacher we want our children taught our faith in school if such a story was told let the name of the teacher who told it be given and of the trustee who made the alleged objection so that the truth of the yarn may be tested we are justified from the course of the tribune in believing that the whole story was made up by one of its own scribes but bud even granting the truth of the statement this appears to be all the proof that can be adduced to substantiate the fase falsehood hood that the district schools of utah are sectarian if the charge was would be an easy mauter malter to prove it by showing the set sectarian studies the sectarian textbooks the sectarian exercises buano but no sueh such things exist in those schools and they are much more strictly secular than many of tile tiie common schools of the states for even the thy bible ov ivr r tile the use ot of which in schools so many disputes arise in other parts of tile the country is not used as a textbook text book in the utah district schools it is not long since the tribune Tribu nere re frequently the story that the only textbooks text books in use in these schools were the standard books of the I 1 mormon fath faith this was a lie straight and unclothed it has been so clearly exposed that it is now dropped drol ped from the list of antii deceptions even eha tha pious preachers who havu have raised heaps of money on the strength of it having discarded it from their pleas for financial aid in rescuing poor mormon children from ignorance 11 the tribune continues to shout the district schools in utah are see sectarian but all it can adduce to prove its senseless outer outcry 1 is A teacher told N us within a week tk that at he e get a school because he was not a mormon 1 why there are scores of mormon applicants who fall fail to get an appointment and they might complain with just as much reason that they were rejected beca because lule luie they were mormons cormons Mor mons if the tribune wants to substantiate our position on this point all it needs to do is to adduce a little more of the same kind of 11 proof ia |
