Theoretically there is and should
be a complete separation of eharch
and state in the United States. In
factthert are few, if anj, provisione
in oar organic law which are of
more importance than whieh pro
ides for the carrying out of the
biblical injunction to render unto
Caser the thiugs that are Caesar's
and unto God the tkings that are
God's.
But in reality the fact remains
that despite this provision it way
be said that America is a religious
country. ''The Lord's day, com
monly called Sunday," is univers
ally olwerved, both by law and
by custom, as a day of rest and re
ligious oltservanes. All oaths are
taken upon the Bible. Church
property is exempt from taxation.
While our greatest public men with
almost a unanimoue voice have al
ways preached of the nocssity of re
ligious training, teaching and ob
servance. Perhaps in no other
civilized country on the face of the
globe is there so little atheism or
aguosticisni an exists in our own
country.
All this Iwingtrue, it is with a
gasp of astonishment that one reads
the pronuncianiento delivered by
President Schneider, of the 'hicago
4kard of Education, who said:
I believe with Jean Jacques
Rousseau, that religion should not
be taught to any one, in any form,
until his or her mind is mature.
As for Bible in the public schools I
object to it. H is not fit for chil
dren. I would not object to a history
f the Bible in the schools as a
masterpiece of literature. It
hrm!l b thn iust the same ae
Byron's poems or any other of the
great master-pieces. And for thi'
vamn rensnn I should be rlad to
have on the reading liet a history
of the Koran, or of religion of
Confuncious or of Buddia.
Teaching the Bible in the pub
lie schools is a subject about which
there has been much debate, lor
the reason that so many denomina
tions interpret the Bible in so
many different ways, and it is next

Dr. L. B. McBravcr, a promi
iisnt physician of Asheville, and
P. H. Thrash, a distiller, fought
tiercel r on the streets of Asheville
Monday before they could be se
parated. There was bad feeling
to impossible to teach the Bible
without giving to the instruction
imparted the coloring which is in
accord with one of these many in
terpretations and against the
others. But Mr. Schneider's state
ment does not go to this phase of
the matter. A fair interpretation
of what he says seems to be that he
would put the Bible upon the same
level as the writings of Mahomet,
Confucius, Baddha and Byron.
But even this is not all . He seems
to be opposed to the teaching of
any religion to children, not only
in the schools, but anywhere or by
any person, allowing the youthful
mind to grow and develop in ab
solute ignorance of the great truthe
of religion, and then, when at mat
urity, grope its own way to the
truth in the unlikely event that
it should care to try after having
gone through such a childhood.
To say that the spread and gen
eral adoption of the views of Mr
Schneider would work hovoc with
the morals of our nation is but to
put it mildly, and it is indeed un
fortunate that the second largest
city in the entire county should
have at the head of its educational
system a man with such distorted
views. We w ould rather have in
our midst a man infected with the
smallpox than a man iufected with
the views which this leader of edu
cation is turning loose in Chicago.

Before a business man can borrow money he must establish a credit.
The people w ho make the loan must have confidence in the lorrower
to skirt with and then adequate security. If the borrower, through
continued deposits, has liecome know u to the officers of the bank, he
has established a basis of credit which makes it an easy mafcter to se
cure any reasonable accommodation. Ail business men require the
