/a Essay read by 'Arthur Iteatirbefore the prad
lard County Teachers' Alaocation, it Heirick
BePt- 9 1 3-70.
An apoiNly, oi-at least an explanation,
seems due in preSenting this subject to
the Bradford County Teachers' Associa
_tion, at this-time. But a few meetings
have passed since the Assochttion listened
to a discussion of the sane subject; far
more able and exhaustive than any can
hop eto give. If it be suggested that the
subject is threadbare and old, ana . haS
teen so thoroughly - exhausted by• the
ablest minds in the land, that it is pre-
sumptioes to attempt its discussion in an
essay Of this character, I would reply that
netwitlislanding, all this discussion, tho
'rough and conclusive as it may appear to
us, has yet failed of aecoinplishing its Oa
" jectand that our only hope ,of securing
- 2 : this desirable end is by continual and per
• sistent agitation, the only means under
our form - of government of accomplishing
any great reform. And my fir 4 excuse
- for-presenting this essay. is a desire to
contribute my mite, however feeble that
may be, towaid that agitatiOn..
While we are justly proud of onr com
mon schools, it niust be admitted that the
' system, 'with all its excellencies ,contains
many, 'and some very serious, defects.
One of the objects of associations of this
irind is to discuss these defects, and offer
- sug,gestions for-their remedy or removal.
And if, in this discussion, either from the
nature of the Subject, or want of skill in
treating it, my essay appears uninterest
inz and dry, spare not your criticisms or
censure; but rest assured that both Will be
kindly received, and, if possible, made a
source of prrifit!for - the future. And if
this affliction should determine you never
- td endure the like again, it •irould afford
me pleasure to feel that thad escaped one
- of the most serious crosses of membership
;;. ,in the Association. _
An eminent Writer on the subject of ed
- ticatton, has divided the great evils'of our
connhon scimorsYstem; into the following
, classes, viz : (i) a want of interest on the
part of parents and patrons; (2), frequent
change of teachers; (3), 'excessive
multi
"'plication of school districts; (4), - diversity
and imperfection of text bOoks; (5), in
compctentteachers and(s)defective super
vision. But there is another` evil which,
while it may bO, secondary .4n a strictly
lui ieal classification, is of sufficient impor
tance to demand our immediate and most
thoughtful consideration, 4.(1 that evil is
' the irregnlai attendance-o r pupils, and
t he: total absence of thousands of children
from imirschools. - What matters the con
stantemploynierit of the teacher? What
matters it though the text-books bens
perfect as human intelligence can pro
duce? What matters it how extensive
the experience, or hoci eminent the quail
tiestions of-the teacher, or how complete
and perfect the system of supervision-?
Zi lest matter all of these to those thous
, ands of children who, pass their lives in
the streets or in the abodes of misery and
crime, and whose: forms have never dark
ened a school-house door?
Our first care should be to secure the
presence of these children in our schools;
an then we' will ,devise means for their
instruction. , As we believe, hat this at
tendance can be secured only by means of
a :-,miptilsory law, we claim that this sub
ject is, at present, the most important to
• which we can turn our attention.: As a
complete discussion of the subject is out
of the question in a paper of this kind, it
tie allotvable . to begin by assuming
ticrtaiii facts, which - are generally admit
ted, oz, title:lst have never been publicly
.disputed by the oppenents of the measure
which we advocate.' First, we may safely
for granted that every one admits
the dh , organixing, demoralizing effect of
irregular attenchmee.upon the school. ta-
ken as a vhole - , -. the inconvenience to
vhielt it subjects the teacher, and the.pos
itiv2 injury done to the child, bOth in the
loss of lessans and the formation of perni
habits of irregularity. We take for
granted that to person Kill deny the ben-
Cieial effects of education upon the.mass
r,,ef the people. /We take for granted
tri!at an educated man is, other things be
:g Nina', a Vetter and more useful citi
sen an ignorant one; that he is bet
t,..r able to take care of himself, and more
e!unpincitt to exercise the right of suf
frage in a manner conducive to the public
We take it for granted that a peo
ple'-is 'more reasonable, contented and law
. ah.iditig,--in direct proportiOn as they are
calightened by the influence of a judicious
txl:eatinn. !
- We take it for granted that no one will
tlislmte the truth of the statistics which
to' prove that education is a preventive
of pauperism and crime; that no one will
deny the necessity Of education in every
g)vernment of a democratic form, as a
a tfeguard to the liberties of the people;
b . tt if any one-would diSpute the latter
p ineiple, _we have only to refer to the
Plges of history forits proof. If, then,
'we admit . the benefits of universal educa
tion, and 'that the only means thus far
disc4eiCfl of. seeming it to the masses, is
nrough rthe medium .of our Common
sclp.ols, the next .grestiou that - presents
it - . elf is the, right of . the state to provide
fo:- this edge ttiOn, and to compel the peo
ple to avail themselves of the provisions: 1
Tile first of these propositions is now On
eraily'aceepted as a - Settled fact; but there
is still a large class ofpersons who, while
tit v admit the right of the state to pro
tide for the education of its citizens by
g„meral taxation, deny its right to compel
litem to take advantage of this provision.
The'number and variety of.the changes
fang upon this point, often do credit to .
'--the ingenuity of their authors;
. and are
eft n ,arn u sin g to a degree which is al
`most ludicrous. "Such a law,!' they say,
"would lurringe upon tlic natural liberty
of the people, and interfeie with their
eireistitutional rights"; and agaiii ''such a
LIW might do for the monarchies of Eu
rope, but is i utterly inconsistent with the
sp:lit of our free American institutions."
The per Oration of 'these arguments gen
erally contain the beautiful simile, about
being able to lead a - horse to water, but
ti:iable to for& him to drink. They for
get. however, the days of infancy, when,
no: rltnowing .- what was for their own
gOi),ll..Viey rebelled ag,ain.st the, decrees of
the L.,-e,0.i1 old family physician, and their
; 4 1.z. administered by forte the

Tiga' Liters one prominent and princi
pal idea; and that ix th4t the Legislatures
are v. - holly itleleiwntlent I)(Klies, uneo nect
ea will) the people, and waging a_ eon-
' stiiit ivar upon their rights. It ieetUS im
possible for tiein to understand that the
merely the medium thro'
the majority (f the peopt, mikes:
known its will, antl that the interests of
the Legislature and. ttie people are one
the same. - They seem unable to corn-
P 41,4 thin eur #Olll-nmens iq
compact, made by, the people; and that
the ptorpose:of4be constitution - is merely
to define the terms of this "compact, and•
prescribe the limits within'which the ma
jority shall exercise its power. An act of
the Legislature is merely a decree of .the
majority of the people, and the only limit
to the law-enacting power of this majori
ty is that it neither violate the 'ite+ts of
the original compact, as contained in the
constitution, nor do violence to the natu
ral laws ,of humanity, nor the revealed
will of God. , The right to tract laws in
regard to the physital; intellectual, or re
ligious training of the people, has as good
a foundation, and, in fa 4, precisely the
same foundation as the _right to make reg
ulations in regard to the transfer of prop
erty, or the commercial intercourse of the
people. The same principles and , restric-'
tions apply to the individual rights; and
no man has the right to prescribe rules,
even for the regulation of his own action,
which are not in accordance with the
laws of humanity,, of God, and, of the 1
country in which he lives.
So far as he keeps within these bounds, , .,
and no farther, is he free to exercise his
will. Neither the regulation of our strict
ly dornestie affairs, nor the subject of edu
cation or religion, is an exception to this
rule. The right
_of the majority to pre
scribe rules fOr the government of the
wirole,'extends even to deteimining the .
kind of houses they shall build, theinedi
cal treatment they shall receive, and the
religious regulations they shall observe,
unlessly prohibited by the constitution,
though it would be tyrannical to exercise
this right, unless some pub! c good were
to be secured, or evil' averted by so doing.
-There can be but little' danger of this
tyranny, however, since the law-enacting
majority must, together with the minori
ty; submit to the operation of their own
laws. Whenever any individual, even in
the exercise of his honest religious belief,
interferes with the rights or convenience
of his neighbors, or the public, it is both
the right and duty of the government to
interfere in, their behalf.'. Nor are these
rights merely theoretical or dormant, and
known only to writers on. ethics and'ele
mentary law. All of them ,hive been,
and are at . present being exercised, not
only in EnT:man countries, but in our
own goveziiinent as well. There are laws
enacting that in certain localities men
shall construct their louSes of certain
'materials and in certain .ty,les of archi
tectitre. Nor do we heat. the right to en
act and enforce these laws questioned,
though they would Fbe tyrannical and un
just, unless the public safety demanded
them. The right to prescribe medical
treatment and enforce snbmission to the
same, is often exercised in the case of con
tagious or other dangerous disease. The
right to interfere - With the religious belief
.df the people is exercised in the law com
pelling them to abstain front labor on cer
tain days, and from the use of profane.
and indecent language: nor does the be
lief or disbelief of a titan exempt him from
the operation of the law. Now one of the
most plausible objections against a com
pulsory school law, is the diversity of -re
ligious opinion, and the consequent im
possibility of. securing text-books or
teachers, suited to the dews of all. A
Catholic parent may object to having his
children listen to the .Protestant version
of the Bible; a Protestant may be equally
opposed to the Catholic version, while an
infidel, atheist, or pagan might object to
its being read at all.. thesame objection
may be raised in regard to text-books, all
of which contain more or less of individu
al opinion, which opinions may disagree
with or be distasteful to those of some
other man, or class of men. The argu
ment is that it would be an unjust viola
tion Of a natural and constitutional - Cight,
to force children under the influence of
doctrines or opinions distasteful to their
parents or themselves. This objection
should be -honestly and fairly ; met,
.not,
with.that false delicacy and affected im
partiality with which politicians • are aeL
eustomed to discus's the subject. We
must approach it in, the light of reason
and common sense, keeping in mind the
fact that every man is bound to yield a
portion of his natural liberty,. when re
quired, as the price of the protection and
,benefits which the Government secures to
his person and property. Thus, while
every man, as before stated, has an un
doubted right to his own opinion, and the
I unfettered exercise of his own conscience,
Ike has no right to interpose either as an
obstacle to any measure calculated for the
public good. This question, of course,
should be determined as justly, as impar
tially, and to the satisfaction of as great
number as possible; and then, if the ob
jections of the remainder are a mere mat
ter of opinion, it is - their duty to submit
to the decree; while if a matter of con
science it certainly is their right, and may
be their duty, to refuse obedience to the
( , law, and quietly submit to the penalty it
ritillicts. The 'majority of the people have
an undoubted right to determine not only
the kind of text-books, but the methods
of instniction to be,used.
The objection on this -point, ho7eCer,
falls entirely to the:ground, if we permit
the parents to eilOte—their children at
home, or whereveri else they please, re
quiring onlypat they furnish them a err
tain "amount of instriction in branches
which should be prescribed by la*. lam
well aware of the great and over sensitive
jealousy with which people regard their
freedom of religions views, and also that
it is a righl of. the. nature of which.many
of the people have but very vague ideas;
1s many confound opinion, whiclf . is the
result of mere intellectual process, or
reason, With conscience—a divine,
invol
rmtary consciousness of right and wrong
—so they confound liberty of conscience,
which is an absolute, divine, and natural
right, with religions 10,erty, which is a
mere constitutional right, subject, at the
will of the Majority, to restrictions and
change. It is the duty of every individual
to yield in matters of opinion to the judg
meat of the majority; while it may be his
duty, rather ; than do violence to his con
seem?, to submit to the, penalty of the
law. This is :a universally accepted prin
ciple of Fthies, and applies to matters of
education a; well as to religious, or other
belief Thus, while every man may have
his opinion as to the utility of certain
kinds of education, or may doubt the
utility of any kind whatever, he is bound
to submit to the decrees of the majority
of the- people. The right of the govern-
meat to take Men away from their fami-
lies and honoz, and to compel them to
::übmit-to.military discipline and drill in
times of public danger, is not denied,, no
matter how diftasteful to them such dis
cipline may be. And this right of the
State to exercise a compulsory supervis
ion over the education of its subject/7,, is
still further exercised in taking children
away from the control of their parents,
and placing them in houses of ' refuge or
Correction, whenei•er it. appears 'that the
welfare of either the con or - the
cull demands it.
If it be pid that these arc extreme
eases, seriously affecting the well-being
and - :. , afety of the public, I answer that
the education of every child is a matter
of the greatest moment, not only to him
self, but to the prosperity and ttafety of

F01:11111 QUARTEIt. LZSMON II
In the last lesson Stephen's aim was to
show that there had been continual chan
ges in the condition of the chosen people,
a gradual progress in the development ( f
the outward form - of the church. Instead
of being created in ha complex and com
plete forth, it grew by slow degrees and
gradually assumed its then existing form
of organization. Two great crises were
mentioned—the call of Abram and the so
jnurn in Egypt. In our present lesson we
have two more--the Ettxlus, and the
erection of the temple.
•
Thus from the beginning until the time
of Solomon, there had been growth and
development. Why should it 1)3 assum
ed that nu further change and progression
was possible ? Where could be the bias
pbetky in assumingal new and higher de
velopment, especially •if predicted in
Scripture and confirmed by irrefragible
proofs?
This general idea runs tnrough his
lengthly defence. But while carrjlpg it
out, he uses the arguinentain ad holalntia.
They charged against him that ho had
taught that Jesus would destroy the tem
ple and chazige the customs that Moses
haddelivered unto them. To these charg
es he`spcaks very directly in our present
lesson. ,
lie takes the last fir:st—viz, that Jesus
would change the customs that Moses had
delivered unto them. In answer to this
he shows (1) that their fathers rejected
Moses in the first instance as their judge
and deliverer, and refused to accept his
laws; they themselves, as shown by the
history, changing the customs he had de
livered to them.' Andl2) that Moses was
a type of Jesus - - the greater deliverer
from sin.
As to the second point, he shows that
the temple was not intended to be perma
went; that according to the testimony of
Solomon and Isaiah, Jehovah cannot be'
confined to temples. The inference is
- that it is no sin to teach the destruction
Of the temple.when God has announced it
to'be his will to remove it out of its place.
V. Xi. One man refused Moses. But
this act revealed to.hiin the general state
of feeling among his people; he saw that
they_Were not ready to accept him as their
deliverer, and so he tied. We have here
the antithesis so'common in this book be
tween the Jews
,and GOd. The Jews re
jected Moses, as afterwards they - rejected
Christ; but God sent him and honored
him, as he did his Son. "By the hands
of the angel, etc:," i. e 4 through the an
gel of the Lord as the organ of communi
cation between Moses and God. .
Vs. 36-37. The Moses who led their
exodus, whom they rejected at first,
was the same who predicted the coming
of a greater prophet—of whoni he was a
type, among other things in that very re
jection he experienced at their hands. .
V. 33. This Moses *hem their fathers
rejected was the same Who, in the days
when the church' was moving through"the
wilderness, was divinely chosen to be the
Mediator between the Angel of the Cove
nant (the Son of God) and the fathers.
God honored him by giving hiM " the
lively oracles "---i. e., the living words of
God; his authoritative declarations, which
are the-rule and source of life.
Vs. 39-41. Here again vie see the diso:,
bediehce and rebellion of the fathers.
They rejected Moses because their hearts
hankered after' the idOlati'ies of Egypt.
And they changed the customs be gave
them; they made a golden bull and sacri
ficed unto it.
Vs. 4241. In consequenee of their diso
bedience and idolatry, Acid turned away
from them in anger (I 4 1O)', and
the result of this abandonment was that
they went to still greater excesses Of
idnl
atry. They worshipped the, heavenly bo
dies. This lapse is described in the Book
of the Prophets, meaning probably the
twelve minor,prophets, ,which were reck
oned in the jewish Canon its one volume.
,The quotation is from Amos v: 2:5 : -.27, as
found in the SCptungint. This. ;passage
does not mean that they offered no sacri
fices in the wilderness, but that they sac
rificed to idols and not to JehOrah. This
idea is-then explained. " (while ye
withhold from me the sacrifices which
were due and paid them to idols,) ye took
up the tabernacle of Moloch (i. e., carried
about secretly small shrines incleSing the
image of Moloch, the god of the Ammon
ites) and the star of your god llemphan;"
(in Amos Chinn, identical words proba
bly, and meaning Saturn, whom they
worshipped under the form of a stair
Vs 44-45. Here Stephen takes up the
second point iu his defence :'that the tem
ple was not designed - to be the permanent
1 dwelling place of Jehovah. He glides
'very adroitly from one point to the other.
, He has shown ,the disobedience of the
[people, and their, rejection of the laws
1 Moses .gave them, and as a climacteric
proof points to their carrying about se
cretly- the tabernacle of Moloch. This
1 - suggests by way of contrast the tahertia
! cle of witness or testimony; so-called be
['cause a witness of the covenant between
I . Je]lovali and his people. This the,; had,
made by Moses according, to the pattern
Ct' i l )d 1., , ..ave 'him hi - the Mount. but 'as a
movable tent; and as such Joshua and the
~.
succeeding generation bore it into the
4and of promise; .as such it 'existed Hato'
the reign of David. Under Solomon an
advance ' as made—a permanent house
built. But this progressive change in the
dwelling-place of the ark would naturally
indicate other changes in the future, And I
so the Scriptures declare. •
Vs. 4s-50. Solomon and after him
ialy announced ,the tnporary nature of
the temple, in declaring that Jehovah
cannot be elnlined to material temples.
They understood and splice cle: rtf of the
spiritual dispensation to come. The test
here is most infelicitously divided. "The
true division would have been as follows.
47. And Solomon built him a house, but
(Solomon well knew and publicly declared
that) the Most Mgt' dwelleth not in hand
made (temples). 4S. 2ks,(likewise) saith
.
.the Prophet, Heaven my throne, etc."
The quotation is made from the Septua
gint, with few and unimportant varia
tiot.. The Prophet quoted is Isaidh (lxvi:
1-'2) and the passage, that 'in which be
winds up all his prophecies with an ex
press prediction of the change of dispen
sations, of , the time when Jehovah would
no longer dwell in temples (v.' 1) but in
human hearts (v.:1): when the ritual, al
though divinely instituted, would be no
less hateful than idolatry itself (v. 3) and
they who still cling to it would be fearful
ly but righteously requited (v. 4). This
remarkable prophecy is doubly appropri
ate to Stephen's purpose; first as a declar
ation of the general truth before affirmed
by Solomon, and therefote showing that.
the tame doctrine was maintained by the
prophets :between him and - Vhrist; and
then, as a pointed and direct prediction of
the Very charges that were taking place
when Stephen Spoke." (Alexander).
Stephen's defence was pertinentint
tyl, personal and plain. It was unanswer
able and unpalatable. It is no great won
der that his enemies were cut to the beast
and enraged by such boldness and truth.
