JiELIOIOUS AND SECULAR EDUCA
TION " TUB BIBLE IN THE
SCHOOLS."
TniaiE are many indications of a revival of
tho excitement which lias on several occasions
been produced by a discussion of tho question
whether the Bible should be read in tho pub
lic schoolH. Newspaper Articles on tho sub
ject are printed by leading journals; it ii be
coming a favorite topio in some pulpiln, and
it is reported that, independent of tho agita
tions fomented in various cities, a momber of
Congress proposes to introduce a bill in tho
Rational IIoubo of Representatives, which, if
'passed, will set the dispute forever at rest, by
prohibiting Uiblo-reading in all tho public
schools of the United Slates.
Considering the difficulties which educa
tional systems have encountered in foreign
countries in consequence of prevailing secta
rian disputes, it is not at all surprising that
America, too, should be threatened with simi
lar embarrassments, but hero thoy have for
tunately proved of minor importance hereto
fore, and we trust thoy will always continue
to belong to a secondary class of controver
sies. The policy of England, in Buffering
"millions of children to grow up in ignorance
mainly because wrangling sectarians could
not reconcile or adjust their disputes in regard
to the religious influences that should control
aecular education, is to tho lust degree infa
mous, and it entails just reproach upon
British Christianity as well as British civiliza
tion. To some extent it has been improved
of late years by the voluntary action of tho
leading sects, in combination with the Gov
ernment, but the principle practically adopted
is that at least a moderate amount of religious
training must accompany all secular instruc
tion, and Parliament grants a small amount
of aid to all the sectarian schools which ob
serve certain general rulca it has prescribed.
The real meaning of tho renewed attack
upon the prevalent custom of having the
Bible read in the public schools of the United
States appears to be a concerted movement
to secure, if possible, tho adoption, in this
country, of a system similar to that existing
in England, under which the parochial day
Bchools attached to various churches would
receive appropriations from our State or local
authorities. The plan appears to be to find
bo mtich fault with the practice ef reading
the Bible in the schools that thoso who favor
it will finally consent, as a matter of compro
mise, to give to the objectors thoir propor
tionate share of the school fund.
This polioy may have suited Eugland as a
dernier report, but it deserves no favor here,
and it should be sternly resisted at all hazards
and in all contingencies. While entire free
dom is granted to all religions in the United
States, no principle is better established, and
none is more important to our future welfare,
than that there should be a total avoidance of
governmental aid, to any sect, as such. If
the Catholics, Episcopalians, Quakers, or any
other denomination wish to establish day
Schools in which their doctrines are syste
matically taught, there should bo no govern
mental interference on the one hand, nor a
pittanoe of Government aid on tho other.
State help to religious schools is but another
ramification of the European idea of State
help to Churches and church organizations,
which has been wisely ignored in America;
and it would be as unjust to burden tax
payers with the cost of indoctrinating chil
dren with sectarian ideas as to ask them to
pay the salaries of the preachers who addres i
adult congregations.
The question of reading the Bible in the
schools should be decided on its own merits,
and we cannot see that any great wrong re
sults to any sect from the practice. If it be
the wish of a majority of the people of Phila
delphia, for instanco, that it should be con
tinued here, wo think that they display no
unfairness in giving all whom it may concern
to understand that the benolits of the school
fund, raised by the taxation of thoir property,
can only be enjoyed by those who comply with
this condition. Any pointed sectarian dis
cussions would be entirely out of place in a
publio school; the whole policy of the
country, as well as its customs
and sectarian diversities, warns school
boards and public school teachers to
avoid them; but it requires no small amount
of ingenuity to discover a serious canso of
complaint in the mild form of religious in
struction intermingled with the present
common school system of this city. Still it
Is desirable, if possible, that every child in
the community should be educated; and if the
fact should be well attested that a large
amoimtof the absenteeism which is becoming
a chronio evil is caused by the prejudices of
parents against any special book, it is a mat
ter worthy of consideration whether the
chool authorities might not provido
special sohools free from this objection; but
they should never for an instant lose signt ot
the leading American idea, mat no state am
mhould be granted to seotarian operations.
Jcdob Johnstok, one of the Sonators elect
Jrom Virginia, is a sensible man and a true
patriot. In acknowledging the receipt of his
redentia'a from Governor Walker, ho has
written a letter approving the proposed fif
teenth amendment to the Federal Constitu.
tion and advocating entiro good faith in tho
uent of the national debt. In his hands
Interests of Virginia will be no less sufo
I the honor of tho whole country, and the
of peace and juhtice throughout the
isrna brooks case exdkdt
The opinion delivered by Judge Ludlow on
Saturday disposing finally of tho Brooks case
was a worthy finale to that mmr. cdebre. To
a person of legal acquirement it is overwhelm
ing in force and clearness, while even to the
general reader its reasoning must appear un
questionable. Most of the points which were
presented for settlement wore of a technical
character, in strict keeping with tho dosperate
nature of the defense, but they were all
decided by Judge Ludlow, from the puroly
technical standpoint, against the defendants,
and bis line of argument throughout is with
out a flaw. Going back, in his consideration
of each point, to those ages when the groat
system of the common law was moulded by
the practice of tho English courts, he traoes
it down through the centuries, notes the
modifications which were made by acts of
Parliament and by express legislation in this
State, anil finally brings the burden of the
authorities to hear with crashing weight upon
tho quibbles by which the counsel of Dough
erty and Marrow sought to rescue thoin from
a punishment commensurate, in somo degree,
with the heinonsness of their oll'ense.
Tho exhaustive and convincing character
of this opinion presents a fitting subject for
congratulation. It was extremely desirablo
that to these men should bo meted out tho
severest and most exemplary punishment
known to tho law bearing upon the crime of
which they were universally believed to have
been guilty. If it had been necessary to
contort either the law or the facts to secure
such a result, the lesson impartod by tho
verdict and sentence would have been robbed
of half its force. But, happily, after such au
elaborate review of the reasons assigned for a
new trial, tho solemn declaration of tho Court
"that the verdict was a most just and
righteous one, and that, beyond a reasonable
doubt, the prisoners were in deed and in fact
guilty," will inspire all evil-doors with a
wholesome terror of tho law. Such an exam
ple as the punishment awardod Dougherty
and Marrow presents has been sorely needed
in this community; and now that it has been
given, and the fact established that men who
are hired to commit the foulest of crimes, in
the interest of such reckless and uuconscion
able villains as make up the whisky ring, can
not go unwhipt of justice, we may anticipate
a slight improvement in tho domeauor of tho
horde of evil-doers who have made this city
a regular hunting-ground.
Ono thing, howover, remains to be done,
and not until it is accomplished will tho lo s
son of the Brooks case bo complete. Tho
men Dougherty and Marrow entertained no
particular malice against Detective Brooks,
they did not seek his life because of any real
or fancied wrong which they had sustained at
his hands. Thoy were simply hired to assassi
nate a faithful officer of the revenue service,
just as a master butcher hires men to kill his
beeves. They went about their bloody busi
ness coolly and deliborately,inspir6d solely by
the money which they had received or been
promised; they were simply hired assassins,
and the greater guilt is upon the shoulders of
those from whom they received their pay, or
tho promise of it. As far as wo have learned,
the cowardly wretches who wore at the bot
tom of the transaction are ns yet unknown to
the authorities, but we trust that the Mayor
and tho District Attorney are not content to
let them remain unmolested in the back
ground. Every effort should be put forth to
obtain a clew to them, and when this clew is
once obtainod, it should be worked up with
the same energy and perseverance that have
characterized the prosecution of Dougherty
and Marrow.
MIXED CLINICS.
The Professors of the University of Pennsyl
vania, the Jefferson Medical College, tho
members of the medical staffs of the various
hospitals, and most of the prominent mem
bers of the medical profession in Philadelphia,
have united in a remonstrance against mixed
classes of male and female students at clinics.
This remonstrance is a plain, practical, and
temperate statement of the objections against
such classes, and the reasons advauoed are
such as will commend themselves to the dis
passionate judgment of the public
These gentlemen urge that clinical instruc
tion in practical medicine demands an exami
nation of all the organs and parts of tho body,
and thoy contend that there is a manifest im
propriety in the exposure of male patients
before a class made up of persons of both
sexes. A large class of male surgical diseases
are of so delicate a nature as altogether to
forbid inspection by female students, and yet
a thorough knowledge of them is of the ut
most importance to tho community. Such
affections can only be properly investigated
in the clinics of large cities and before a class
of mole students. If both sexes are present
the lecturer is necessarily embarrassed, and is
precluded from going into his subject with
that detail that is absolutely essential for its
thorough exposition. Tho impropriety of
male and female students attending in com
pany at clinics when such cases are brought
forward is so apparent that it needs no argu
ment, and such mixed classes cannot be other
wise than detrimental to the cause of medical
science, by embarrassing the lecturer and
preventing inquiries that ought to be made.
The physicians who have issued this re
monstrance have nothing to say against the
study of medicine by womon, and they would
only injure their own case if they did
Women have quite as much right as men to
study and practise medicine, and thore is a
very important branch of the business that
might with propriety be given entirely into
thoir hands, if they are properly qualified to
take charge of it. They are entitled to every
facility for obtaining a thorough knowledge
of medicine and surgery in all their branches,
and it is perfectly proper that they should
have tho advantages of clinical instruction,
especially with reference to the disoasos and
complaints poouliar to thoir own sex. No
lecturer who is capable of dealing with his
subject in a thoroughly soiontiao spirit ought
to feel embarrassed in demonstrating almost
any case that may come undor his hands be
foie a class of either box, although he would
very natnrally and properly be oonfused by
the joint attendance of male and female stu
dents. The difficulty a few weeks ago at the Penn
sylvania Hospital that called forth this re
monstrance will not be without good effect, if
it leads to some arrangements for separate
clinics, by which the female students can
have tho advantages they are entitled to, and
any occasion for further disagreement and I
discussion about this unpleasant matter
avoided. Wo deprecate any attempt to de
prive the female students of proper facilities
for tho prosecution of their studios; and it
only needs a little good feeling and good
judgment on the part of all conoernod to
come to a satisfactory understanding by
which all interested can bo accommodated
wi(hout cause for offense to any one.
A CITY (10 ERNMENTIN LI MHO.
Komi: of tho Western towns and cities havo a
dashing way of running into debt in haste,
and then either repaying interest and princi
pal at their leisure, or not at all. Recently,
however, long-suffering creditors have re
sorted to the summary process of arresting
tho supervisors and city officials who neg
lected or refused tolcvysiiflieienttaxtoprovido
for expenditures, and tho delinquent parties
are discovering that practical repudiation is
not such an easy matter after all. The latest
demonstration has been made against the town
of Galena, the former home of General Grant,
the Mayor and five aldermen of that city
having been arrested on a summary procofs
by a United States Marshal, and taken to
Chicago to answer before a Federal court fur
the shortcomings of the people whom they
officially represent. A sojourn in prison
seems to have burnished up the financial
ideas of tho city government, consisting of
tho aforesaid Mayor and aldermen, amazingly,
and they have devised a plan for securing a
sufficient advance from Galena property
owners to pay principal as well as interest.
Our own City Councils should bear this oc
currence in mind in making future appropri
ations and when they fix the next tax-rate.
Out or nis Svhliie. The Secretary of tho In
terior has received from an individual residing
in Elkhart, Indiana, a letter in which one of
the most novel financial propositions of tho
day was made. This Elkhart genius proposes
to the Secretary that the latter shall loan him
10,000 out of tho funds of the Smithsonian
Institution, receiving as security therefor a
policy of insurance on his life for $l.,0(().
This Elkhart man is most assuredly out of
his proper sphere. On Wall street he would
be in his true element, and in the boldness of
his schemes and the audacity ol his manrxnivres
would throw Admiral Fisk and all the most
reckless of the bulls and beais into the shade.
Maryland, outsido of Baltimore, boasts of
but one daily newspaper, and that solitary ex
ponent of the spirit of the age ha3 just been
established. Tho State is overwhelmingly
Democratic, and the coincidence is therefore
not at all a singular one.
SCIEXCE ASI AliT .V HOME DKCOR.ITIOS.
We have more than once alluded to the School or
Design for Women as an institution that Is based
upon correct principles, and that is doing an Impor
tant work In tho education of the public taste to the
proper appreciation of the importance of that branch
of art which applies more particularly to the decora
tion of homes. The means and facilities of this
school arc limited, and its real value lias never yet
been fully recognized, but the timo is approaching
when so practical a people as ours cauuot longer
ailord to overlook tho "economy of good taste," and
the actual Bavlug In dollars and cents that may be
accomplished by the application of correct artistic
principles to the cmbellishraeut of our homes and
persons. The School of Design for Women Is a
pioneer in the good work, and it bus to contend
against a mass of ignorance, prejudice, and thought
lessness that seems almost Insurmountable.
The School of Design was established for
tho parpose of furnishing young women
with a respectable profession by which
they can earn their living, but Its real value is as an
educator of the public; for without a publio that can
appreciate and understand true art In matters of
decoration and Industrial design, the pupils of tho
institution would be without patronage aud encour
agement, with a view of educating public taste, as
well as demonstrating the perfectly practical system
of Instruction adopted, tho lectures given each win
ter are open to tho public, aud all who are interested
are invited to attend. The first lecture of the course
was delivered a lew days ago by Professor Bratd
wood, the subject being "Science in the Decoration
of Our Homes."
One of the main ideas that were set forth was tho
cheapness of good taste: how that beauty and ele
gance In home decoration do not depend upon the
costliness of tho materials used, or tlie amount of
money expended upon them, but upon tho correct
application of easily understood principles of art.
If these principles were generally understood there
would be less bad taste in dress and in tho ornamen
tation of homes ; less garishuesa and display of costly
materials merely because they are costly, and far
moro elegance, beauty, and real comfort than are
produced by the lavish expenditure of money. TUore
is scarcely a household In tho land, however humblo,
that may not be made to present a bright, cheerful,
and attractive appearance with the most limited
means and the most unpromising materials, provided
there Is the good taste to apply them properly. The
rules of art that regulate such matters as those are
not diillcult scientific abstractions, that nono but
thoso who make them a special study can under
stand; they are not the arbitrary dogmatisms of
learned professors, but they are simply the plain
common sense and practical principles of nature, and
are so easy to understand that It is a matter for
wonder that they should be so habitually disre
garded. The very first principle of utilitarian art la utility.
This would seem to be an obvious truism, but there
is no plain, practical, and perfectly simple rolo of art
that is moro habitually Bet at deilance by men who
profess to be artists, but who have become so ab
sorbed with pet theories and academic rules that
they liavo lost sight altogether of nature and com
mon sense.
Eomo men have become so fascinated with classio
art that they havo been unable to Bee beauty in
an) thing that does not conform to tho Greek stand
ard. Thoy can not understand that while Greek
art was admirable for purposes of study, and as a
standard of taste, that It is for tho most part utterly
unaduptcd for modern uses. Such building as tho
Custom House and (ilrnru College are beautiful In
themselves, but as specimens of utilitarian art they
are abominations, and It was a happy day when
architects became Impressed with the Idea
that such structures are as much
, out of place in modern Philadelphia as the
Post Offlco or the Academy of Muslo would have
been In Athens two tuousaud years ago. Another
example of gUirlng bud taste is the l'urllameut
! buildings in London. Tho koUiIo stylo of areliite -turo
was cmiueut'-y suited for the purpose, but the
main Irtea of the architect was to put up a structure
that would be an ornament to the city and a monu
ment to Ms own artistlo taslo. In doing this ho Inst
sight entirely of the real objoct for which the build
ings were to bo erectod, and the consequence Is that
their internal arrangements are entirely inadequate,
the chamber of the House of Commons being so
wiiall that It will not hold half tho membra, while
throughout the entiro structure there are mistakes,
b unders, aud miscalculations of tho most glaring
l,rV"'ar(1 Coll'5e. o Custom House, tho
Ftltlnh Houses of Parliament are all admirable from
a mere abHtrnct artistic point of view, but unfortu
nately their builder, lacked common sense, and the
roiwoquoncc Is that they are monuments of Incapa
city and utter bad tai-te.
In erecting a building of any kind the tlrst thing
to be considered Is the purpoHcs to which it Is to ho
adapted ; the convenient arrangement of the room i,
tho lighting, heating, ventilation, and other no less
important particulars n all to be thought of first
and umply provided for, and then tho architect may
add niich ornamentation as he can with proprietr.
always harmonizing his ornaments with the eh Tr
ailer of the structure, tho purposes for which it is
intended, and tho surroundings by which it will be
a trotted. This is certainly plum enough and slmplo
enough for any one to understand ; but there Is no
principle of urt that Is more habitually disregard !,
and our streets present constant evidences or tho
insufferable bad taste or sacrificing utilitr and con
venience to meretricious and inappropriate decora
tions. In the Internal decorations or houses the same
principles exactly are appllcablo. The question
ought not to be whether this curpet is HrtuscU or
Axnilnster, whether its design is elegant a:id grace
ful or itself, but whether It Is appropriate for the
uses to which the room Is to be devoted, ami whether
tt will harmonize with tho furniture, the decora
tions, acd all the objects Introduced. A wall paper
should not bo chosen almply beeauso it has a
gorgeous pattern In brilliant colors, but because it
will foim an appropriate background or relief for
the objects la the room, and the colors In the furni
ture should bo choson with referenco to harmony. A
person on entering a properly furnished and properly
decorated room will not have his attention attracted
by any one object, but he will be impressed
with the air of good tuste nr.d ttio
quiet, elegant, and home-like look of the
place. It Is this quiet elegance that ought
to prevail In virtuous homes; and ills ono of tho
most lmportaut functions of such nu institutional
that of tho School of Design that it instructs plain,
practical, and common-sense peoplo how to mako
their nomes attractive. Many persons who live In
houses filled with costly furniture, and expensively
decorated with all that money can buy, do not lind
them attractive, and yet they are unable to under
stand the reason why; and it U on this account that
we are chletly Interested iu recommending the
School of Design to tho favorable consideration of
the citizens or Philadelphia. The sphere of lhlt
school Is limited, but It is the only school of art l i
the country that Is conducted on proper principle,
and its intluence, Importance, and utility are no:
measured by the benefits conferred upon a com
paratively small number of women who are edu
cated there.
In these remarks wo havo indicated the genoril
outline of Professor Draidwood's vlovson the sub
ject of industrial and decorative art, but ror some of
the opinions advanced he is not to be considered
responsible. We call attention to this lecture as o.io
of the course to be delivered at tho School of Deslzn
this session, because the subject 13 Itself one or great
interest and Importance, and because wo desire the
public to understand exactly what the alms, prinoi
ples, and methods of this too little known institu
tion really ore.

A correspondent of tho New York Tribnm calls
the truthfulness of this exhibit iu question from the
fact that, while tho capital, which is naturally the
most crowded centre of population, contained
170,000 inhabitants according to the estimate or 1S51,
it Is credited with less than 140,000 in 1SC9. One or
the daily papers or the capitul gives somo figures in
relation to the state or education in tho republic,
which are or Interest in connection with the above
table. In the year 1795, when Mexico contained a
population or 6,270,209, there were but twelve schools
in the whole country. Now, however, there are said
to bo 8742 schools, public and private, numbering
270,864 scholars or both 6exes. This gives one pupil
to every C3 persons in the country, a very luslniilcant
proportlon.whlch shows how utterly demoralized uud
Ignorant Is the population of our sister republic, in
tho Federal district theio is a better siiow, tho
schools numbering 2 IS, and tho scholars 13,1!);.,
which gives ono pupil to fifteen Inhabitants. In
1851, the schools In the City of Mexico were but 129
in number, and the scholurs 7151. Since then tho
Increase has been largo and encouraging, but there
Is still abundant opportunity for an extension and
improvement or the school system or the republic.
