CAN RELIGION BE TAUGHT IN
OUR SCHOOLS?
Those who believe in religion as a
natural expression of human exper
ience must devote themselves to the
development of the of life which
lie implicit in our still new science
and our still newer democracy. In
these efforts the question of the re
lation of religion to our system of ed
ucation only can be solved, thinks
Prof. John Dewey, of Columbia Uni
versity. People so convinced, he de
clares, “must interest themselves in
the transformation of those institu
tions which still bear the dogmatic
and feudal stamp (and which do not?)
till they are in accord with these
ideas; and in performing this service,
it is their business to do what they
can to prevent all public educational
agencies from being employed in ways
which inevitably impede the recogni
tion of the spiritual import of science
and of democracy, and hence of that
type of religion which will be the fine
flower of the modern spirit’s achieve
ment.” Only so much of practical di
rection does this writer offer toward
the solution of the vexed problem of
teaching religion in the public schools.
His paper in the Hibbert Journal
(July, Boston) is a philosophical ex
amination of the question with a view
to ascertaining whether such teaching
could be fitted to the already es
tablished pedagogical conceptions
that underlie our school work.
Though the conclusions are mainly
negative, it may interest our readers
to see how the difficulties present
themselves to the mind of the philos
opher. The first difficulty is stated
as belonging to the nature of religion.
Thus:
“We have got to teach something as
religion, and that means practically
some religion. Which? In America,
at least, the answer cannot be sum
marily given even as Christianity in
general. Our Jewish fellow citizens
not only have the same ‘hands, organs,
dimensions, senses, affections, pas
sions as the Christians, but, like them,
they pay taxes, vote, and serve on
school boards. But we should not be
very much better off even if it were a
question of Christianity alone. Which
Christianity? Oriental in its origin,
• it has been Latinized and Germanized,
and there are even those who have
dreamed of humanizing it.”
The problem is complex, he asserts,
“as respects the process of learning,
of coming to know.” He asks:
“What shall a knowledge of religion
as an outcome of instruction mean to
day? Shall it mean the conversion of
character into spirituality? Shall it
mean the accumulation of information
about religion? Or are there those
who still believe in some magic power
resident in memorized words, phrases,
and facts of transmitting themselves
into personal insight, the development
of fundamental mood, and the forma
tion of permanent attitudes toward ex
periences?”
The problem still increases in diffi
culty when, we are told, knowledge is
considered from the side of its method
and from the standpoint of what it
takes to get something worthy to be
called knowledge. The writer asks:
“Can those who take the philosophic
Deafness Cannot b« Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach the dis
eased portion of the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies-
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mu
cous lining of the Eustachi an Tube. When this tube Is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the re
sult, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any ease of
deafness (caused by Catarrh) that cannot be cured by

and historic view of religion as a
flower and fruition of the human spirit
m a congenial atmosphere tolerate
the incongruity involved in ‘teaching’
such an intimate and originally vital
matter by external and formal meth
ods? And can those who hold that
true religion is something externally
imported tolerate any other methods?
Is it not confusion to seek a reconcil
iation of two such disparate ideas?
“Already the spirit of our schooling
is permeated with the feeling that ev
ery subject, every topic, every fact,
every protest of truth must submit to
a certain publicity and impartiality.
All proffered samples of learning must
go to the same assay-room and be sub
jected to common tests. It is the es
sence of all dogmatic faiths to hold
that any such ‘show-down’ is sacrileg
ious and perverse. The characteristic
of religion, from their point of view,
is that it is—intellectually—secret,
not public; peculiarly revealed, not
generally known; authoritatively
declared, not communicated and
tested in ordinary ways. What is to
be done about this increasing antin
omy between the standard for coming
to know in other subjects of the
school, and coming to know in relig
ious matters? I am far from saying
that the antinomy is an inherent one,
or that the day may not come when
religion will be so thoroughly natur
alized in the hearts and minds
of men that it can be consid
ered publicly, openly, and by
common tests, even among religious
people. But it is pertinent to point
out that, as long as religion is con
ceived as it now is conceived by the
great majority of professed religionists
there is something self-contradictory
in speaking of education in religion
in the same sense in which we speak
of education in topics where the meth
od of free inquiry has made its way.
The ‘religious’ would be the last to be
willing that either the history or the

Cardui acts gently and safely, in
a way that will mean much for
health in future years.
Cardui has been found to relieve
or prevent female pains, such as
headache, backache, sideache, etc.,
and to act effectively on such symp
toms as fitful temper, nervousness,
tired feeling, and other symptoms
that are common to young women.
Mrs. Mary Hudson, of Eastman.
Miss., writes: “My young sister t
while staying with me and going tu
school, was in terrible misery. I
got her to take a few doses of Car
dui and it helped her at once.
“I have taken Cardui myself and
believe I would have been under the
clay, if it had not been for that won
derful medicine. I was in a rack of
pain, in my back and low down, but
the first dose of Cardui helped me,
and now I am in better health than
in three years.”
