SERMON ON EDUCATION.
Preached by Rev. J. H. Henderlite at
the Presbyterian Church, Sunday
mgnr, September 10th, 1905.
republish below an abridgment
01 a sermon preached Sunday night,
oupieinoer lutli, by Kev. J. H. Hen
aerjite. 1 he sermon was preached
in response to the action of the Gen
eral Assembly of the Southern Pres
byterian Church, directing that on
trie second Sabbath in September
special prayer be mode for the public
schools 01 tne country.
ajt. Henderlite chose as the text
upon which to base his remarks the
prayer of the Psalmist:
1 hat our sons may be as plants grown
ny in their youth; that our daugutortt may
) nn cornerstones, polished alter the ftimili
tinle of a palace." Tsa. 144:12.
The children of today are the men and
women of tomorrow. Today's training
determines the future character of socie
ty. The all important business there
fore, id the present training of childhood
and youth. It is more important than
the building of railroads and mills
and factories. What shall it profit
man to spend his years and strength in
gathering a large estate that tdmll be
left to those who by reason of dwarfed
and undisciplined minds and souls are in
capable of wisely enjoying and using it?
Why toil to build up National wealth
and prosperity if the next generation are
to be weaklings or criminals? To pro
duce character is the first consideration
All things shall be added unto it.
Character as we regard it, is intellec
tual eultuve plus moral discipline; a
trained mind dominated by right moral
ity. For the obligations of citizenship
goodness and piety are not sufficient if
ineir nanus are oounu uy ignorance or
stupidity. Cleverness and mental train
mg are not enough without moral
strength and discipline. Simply to edu
cate and develop the mind may be to
arm another rourue aeainst societv
When heart and brain, mind and soul
are harmoniously trained and enlighten
ed, then shall our sons be as plants grown
up in their youth and our daughters as
cornerstones polished after the similitude
of a palace.
TLere are three great training schools
for the childhood and youth of this
country: The honir, the Sabbath-school
and they school, liy the last is meant
all institutions of secular education,
from the primary school to the university.
Without stopping at this time todwell
on the first two, we call attention to the
importance of the last named as an
agency for the formation and develop
ment of character. And here again we
pass over all other educational institu
tions to look particularly at the Public
School System. This branch of educa
tion occupies a particularly high place
in American life. Probably in no other
country is the public school so numerous,
so highly developed or found to play so
important a part. We point to ourpub
lic schools with special pride, and in no
other respect have we made such grati
fying progress, especially in the South.
In a f?w years the public school has been
lifted from being a comparatively insig
nificant factor in our Southern educa
tional work to a plane of exalted honor
and importance.
There are at least three characteristic
features of the public school system.
It is democratic; like our Government,
of the people, by the people, for the peo
ple. It is open to all and all have
equal privileges.
The public school offers its advantages
to all classes and to all alike.
St'coml. The public schools are sup
ported by general taxation and are
therefore without tuition fees. Every
child, however poor, has the opportuni
ty to attend. Sometimes even the schooi
books are furnished free. Hence it is
aptly termed the free school.
A third feature is the non-sectarian
character of the public school. It is un
der the control of the State, and a funda
mental principle of American govern
ment is the absolute separation of
Church and State aud entire freedom of
religion. Hence, the church has no au
thority over it, and the peculiar doc
trines and tenets of no religious sect are
or can be taught in its class rooms. The
matter of religious creed or opinion has
nothing to do with admission to the
public schools. However, this does not
imply that the public school system is in
any way non-religious or that it is non
Christian In character or teaching.
The very contrary is true, and the con
tention of those who' would remove the
Bible and all religious exercises from the
public schools is not well founded and is
reallv in opposition to the basic spirit
and the basic principles of the American
Nation. There is a very clear and simple
distinction between religion and secta
rianism, or between the church and re
ligion. To say that America has no es
tablished church is not to imply at all
that America is irreligious or infidel.
To prohibit the control of any church
over the public schools and the distinct
ive doctrines aud tenets of any denomi
mition or sectt does not make the public
school system irreligious. Indeed, we
contend for the Bible in our schools, and
for a distinct religious atmosphere and
iufluence. There are certain great beliefs
that all churches and creeds hold irrcom
mon. These may be and should be hon
ored and tatigbt in tne schools; the belief
in God, the accountability of the soul,
the future judgment. No less authority
on constitutional law than Daniel Web
ster once contended in a public address
for the Bible and religious teaching in
the public schools on the ground that
the verv nature of our government re
quired it aud the welfare and prosperity
nf the countrv called for it. Mr. Webster
declared that nothing waa more certain
than that our government is Christian
in every part; and that thefundamentals
of Christianity could be taught without
the introduction of any Church influence
or sectarianism. Moreover that the wel
fare of the country demanded religious
instruction in the public schools. The
perpetuity of American institutions is de
pendent upon public morality. Morality
on relierion. Destroy religion
and you destroy the very foundations of
American prosperity. oj c tinmen
German philosopher. Cousin, argues for
the Bible in the public schools on the
ground that it is necessary to that pub
lic morality on which National prosperi
ty is built. Washington declared that
there Could be no permanence of Ameri
can institutions without public morality
and no publicjnorality witnoui religious
principle. Long ago Plutarch styled re
ligious teaching the bond of enduring
society and the pillar of right legislation.
"Our Country." p. 104 et
There is indeed vital necessity of our
schools being religions in spirit and
teaching. Leaving out of view the spir
itual interests of the children, the welfare
of the Republic demands it.
Our purpose in considering the public
schools in a pulpit address is to point
out the interest that the church as a
whole and individual Christians should
fee! in this great work. There are
reasons for the deepest interest on the
part of those who desire the welfare of
the Nation and and the promotion of
the Kingdom of God. It has been re
quested that the churches pray for the
public schools; and the wisdom and ne
cessity of such a request is beyond de
bate. Scarcely can any factor in Amer
ican life command a deeper spiritual in
terest or more urgently call for the prav
ersi.f the church than the public school
system. Reasons for this can be given
only briefly and in part in our present
limits:
1 . Consider the vast extent of the pub
lic schools. They cover the entire coun
try. They are found everywhere, from
the cities and towns to the villages and
hamlets, and in the most remote and
sparsely settled rural communities. In
-4- V. j.1 .1 n 1 ,
iiueui are gamereu an classes and na
tionalities. The sons of the millionaire
ana the day laborer march side bv side.
the children of judges and congressmen
ana bricklayers and hod carriers may all
join in the same recitation.
We have not the very latest fierures at
hand but out of a population of nearly
TO AAA iffk ' - 1 1 TT 1 , . . ..
o,wv,wuiu ine unuea states there
were 1;,038,000 children in the public
schools, not quite three-fourths of the
entire number of children between the
ages of fave and eighteen. What a tre
mendous army! 1",000,000 young souls
irom every rank and grade of society;
pine times as many as there are people
in inicago, -larger tftan four Greater
New Yorks, eight times the population of
tne great state 01 North Carolina!
2. Note the eupreme importance of
the place hlled by the public schools.
The usual age of admission is any
where between o and 18 or 20. Surely
the most important stage of human life,
the time when habits are forming, when
the foundations are laid, when charac
ter is molded and the mental and moral
disposition is receiving its permanent
cast. Between those ages the mind aud
heart are most receptive and responsive,
most susceptible to outside influences.
Students of child-nature are agreed that
even long before they are ten years old
cniidren receive their deepest and most
lasting impressions, and the mold of
their future life has practically been set
Certainly the period between the ages of
nve and ntteen is the most important.
ana during tnis period the vast majority
are in the public schools. It may be fur
ther noted in this connection that the
most of these children will never attend
any other school, as only a small minori
ty 01 tne 3-outh of the land enioy a college
or university training. And moreover.
a considerable percentage receive in the
public school not only their mental train
ing but about all the moral instruction
and discipline they will ever get. This is
true especially of large areas in the cities
and of mill towns and industrial centers.
Here then is the situation: For the fu
ture well being of the nation the training
of the childhood and youth is the most
important consideration. And iu the
formation of character in the broad sense
in which we defined the term awhile ago,
under present conditions, the strongest
factor is the public school.
Indeed the public school system is a
sort of immense citizen-factory, in which
are gathered some 15,000,000 boys and
girls to be made into citizens It is a
mill where American manhood and
womanhood are being fashioned and
whose stamp, good or evil, the citizen
ship of the future will bear. Thence shall
issue the future home-makers and society
molders. those who shall make laws
and hold office and direct business. From
its doors shall come the merchants and
mechanics and farmers, the lawyers and
doctors and preachers, the editors and
journalists and molders of public opinion,
the senators and judges and legislators
and politicians of tomorrow. Of course
many of these will later feel the influences
of the college and university, but the
public school will have already sown its
seed in the springtime.
But the work of the public school is
not confined to American bred youth.
There is the foreign element. America
has been called the "dumping-ground" of
Europe and, in spite of the restrictions of
stringent immigration laws, vast hordes
of the lowest grades of European peoples
flock to our shores. Very many of the
immigrants are the poorest, most igno
rant, most undisciplined to be found m
Europe. A considerable percentage are
vicious and criminal. Few of them honor
American traditions or share iu American
ideals. They know little or nothing of
the sanctity of the home and the Sab
bath; they are strangers to the diguity
and privileges, as well as to the respon
sibilities of American citizenship. They
bring with them seeds of many pernicious
teachings that breed anarchy, lawless
ness, discontent, and the worst forms of
socialism. A great task of the public
schools is to gather in the children of
these immigrants and "Americanize"
them; by the instruction and discipline of
the school room to eradicate the evil and
implant the true; to elevate these great
masses to the highest plane of American
citizenship and instill high ideals of man
hood and womanhood.
Surely here is an urgent call to the
active interest and the prayers of Chris
tian oeonle. not nly that the evil may
be averted from our own childhood and
youth but that our "best things" may
be communicated to those who are in
such need, and who left alone are a con
stant menace to American institutions.
Those engaged in this work should have
the help and encouragement of our heart
iest moral support.
3. This leads at once to the considera-'
tion of another reason why Christian peo
ple should pray for the public schools. It
is to be found in certai popular tenden
cies of the age. There is a constant dan
ger of the ideals and standards of Ameri
can citizenship and society being lowered.
Human nature nas an evn oenr, a sinister
twist. Public morality is apt to sag. it
needs constantly to be buttressed. Stand
ards tend to drop and ideals to tarnish. ;
Eternal vigilance is the'pnee of healthy
public morals and nationol prosperity. !
Port rf thp work of the nublic school is :
to keep the great army of childhood and ;
youth up to the proper standard of man-'
hood and citizenship. i
There is an evil tendency so widespread
that it may almost be styled national.
Dr. Strong iu "Our Country" says that
the most striking defect of young Ameri
ca is lack of reverence; that our youth
have little reverence for their elders, for
authority, for law, for rulers; and quotes
in support of his manifestly true asser
tion the eminent English critic, Mat
thew Arnold,who after an extended visit
to America makes this charge against
us, also the words of a New England
scoool commissioner as follows: "The
spirit of self-assertion, of insubordina
tion, of dislike to all restraint, of open
antagonism to law all this is far more
prevalent today than ever before." The
51 haa iprtainlv not diminished or
grown less acute since Dr. Strong's book j
was publisnea some niieeu vt-u.10 ogu.
We need to pray for schools where
wholesome discipline will be exercised
and authority maintained, and habits of
obedience and self-control be formed that
shall endure through life. We need to
pray to have school officials and teach
ers of such character as to inspire respect
for law and reverence for authority; and

the wisdom and reasonableness of whose
discipline shall not only evoke respect in
the school room but leave its permanent
impress for the future well being of so
ciety. "We are building a nation. We
cannot build permanent institutions on
mere intelhgence,smartness. push, self-as
sertion. 1 here must be a profound re
spect for law,
'The keystone of the world's wiile arch.
The one sustaining anil sustained by all.
Which, if it fall, brings all in ruin down.' "
Unless this reverence and respect for
authority have its beginnings in the
home and the first years of school; unless
children learn there the wholesome re
straints, and form permanent habits, of
self-discipline, we need not look for it in
the future men and women of America.
Vnd when we bear in mind the general
decadence of family discipline and author
ity and the fact that so many parents
and heads of families in our heterogene
ous population have not the training
and instruction themselves out of which
to impart to their children, where else
can we look but to the public schools to
teach the childhood and youth of the
country at large that "reverence forGod,
reverence for man, reverence for woman,
reverence for law, which are the pillars
of the Republic?"
Ji we may presume to give a word of
personal counsel to the patrons of our
local schools, it is this: Alwaj-s respect
the authority of the school, ltespect it
yourself and show to your children by
your conduct that you do; and then re
quire them to do the same. Show them
that the officials and teachers were chos
en because they were worthy of honor
and respect; that you recognize their
authority and have confidence in their
wisdom and sincerity. leachers are
human and liable to err. Occasionally a
pupil suffers a hardship, and cases nave
been known in which there were even
gross and inexcusable violations of right
and justice. But in mnety-hve cases out
of a hundred, when there is trouble be
tween teacher and pupil, the teacher is
clearly in the right, as the pupil well
knows and also th3 parent if he investi
gates. And as to the other five well
even if there be some questions as to
which way justice lies, it will be best to
act as the teacher were right; best for the
parent, for the school, and above all for
the pupil. I'nless, of course, there has
been a flagrant and wilful injustice on
the part of the teacher. Then vindicate
the pupil and let the teacher be discip
lined. Children have naturally a sense
of fair-play and a respect for right that
is keener and stronger in child hood than
any other age.
Don t warp or destroy these hoe in
stincts by ill timed sympathy or indul-
gence, or by injudicious interierence m
school dirhcultiea. Hands off. Uive the
teachers a chance and you may count
pretty surely on their doing their best
for your children.
In all that has been said, the duty and
the opportunity of .Christian people are
plainly to be seen. Surely the public
sclvools need the prayers of the church,
prayers for the various officials; superin
tendents, principals, teachers; prayers
for the great army of childhood and
youth that gather therein.
While as a town we congratulate our
selves upon the steady progress of our
schools nud the constantly improving
facilities; while above all we rejoice in
the high character, the wisdom and the
efficiency of our public school officials
and teachers, let us bear in mind that for
the most successful management of the
great trust we have laid upon them they
require the full co-operation and the un
reserved moral support of the people.

The "official" investigation into
the insane asylum "sensation" has
not leen ecmeludod, the board of di
rectors after leing iu session two
days bavins: adjourned to meet again
th? last of this week, when they will
formulate their report to th ( lov
er nor.
In the meantime the four asylum
attendants who were arrested and
committed to jail on the charge of
killing the patient Thomas Nail, hist
month, under such sensational and
distressing circumstances, have been
admitted to bail in the sum off 1,000
each. They were released from prison
last Saturday evening, the solicitor
of the Superior Court tigreeiiigto the
acceptance of bond after steps had
been taken to bring this case before
a Supreme Court justice today.
Their release on bond is due to the
expert medical testimony given last
week before the asylum directors, by
several Raleigh physicians, to the ef
fect that according to the lights be
fore them the patient Nail's death
was not due to the clot of blood on
the brain (presumably produced by
a blow from u club or clubs in the
hands of one or more of the attend
ants), but to "heart distension,"
caused by excitement, over-beat and
over-exertion in his race to escape
from the asylum.
The coroner of this county, Dr. T.
M. Jordan, and Dr. Taylor of Chat
1
ham, who made the autopsy, hail de
clared that death resulted from the
blood clot on the brain and the coro
ner's jury so found, after hearing the
evidence of the witnesses who swore
to the rough treatment the patient
received at the hands of the four at
tendants. Heno their arrest for
murder.
They will lie tried at the October
term of Wake court, but probably on
a minor charge. There appears to
be no doubt of their having treated
the Nail patient inhumanly, in cap
turing and subdueing him and re
turning him to the asylum. It is
claimed that Nail was uncousiouK
when several witnesses saw him. just
after the clubbing in the woods, and
that he never again regained con
sciousness. Some of these witnesses
have not appeared before the asvlum
directors, but it is. stated that thev
will voluntarily appear aud testify
to what they know in court next
month.
