ANGLO-SAXONS DYING
ANGLICAN BISHOP SAYS
Race Suicide Threatens Em
pire and Whole Race Bis
hop of Gloucester Declares
(Bv N. C. W. C. News Service.)
London.—Race suicide threatens
the British Empire and the whole
Anglo-Saxon race, declares the An-
gelican Bishop of Gloucester in a
notable letter to the “Times ” He is
^)ne of the few Angelica'n bishops
"To come out in denunciation of birth-
control, in combating which Cath
olics alone have shown public spirit.
The Bishop of Gloucester finds
that in Eastern Canada the English
speaking people are declining rap
idly. The French Canadians, with
their families of ten, twelve, and
even twenty, are spreading every
where, and with them their lan
guage.
Soon, he thinks, there will be
scarcely an English community east
of Ottawa.
In the United States the French
Canadians are invading Maine, .Ver
mont and New Hampshire, he says,
and while they and other national
ities everywhere increases, the Eng
lish stock is 'slowly dying out.
The million white men in South
Africa scarcely remain stationary,
whilst the native race multiply with
out check. He sees the same thing
in Australia and says the healthy
stock in England is declining.
The Bishop declares that artifi
cial birth control is both vicious and
harmful. “It is unscientific and it is
biologically wrong. It means the ul
timate destruction of the race thJI
adopts it-”

Education Mims Religion Deplored
By N. 'Y. Public School Official
President of Brooklyn Cham ber of Commerce and School
Board Member Tells Central Congregational Church we
Think Too Much About Body, Not Enough About Soul.
(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
New York.—Deploring the lack of
religion in schools, and attacking
the modern American educational
ideals in general and the education
al system in New York, in particular,
Arthur S. Somers, president of the
Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce,
prominent authority on the Public
School system, and member of the
Board of Education of-this city, se
lected for his subject “Religious
Education,” in an address which he
delivered on Sunday evening, in tbe
Central Congregational Church, Han
cock Street, Brooklyn.
Mr. Somers quoted freely from re
ligions leaders of various faiths who
advocate more attention to religious
education, and presented a resume of
the educational ideals of various
civilizations of past ages for his
large audience, pointing out the pri
mary principle which must persist
in spite of other change.

“While the aim of our education
will change,” Mr. Somers declared,
“this we know, that the moral and
ethical responsibility to live right
eously among men in brotherly love
always be our guiding principle.
That is the rock which any civiliza
tion must rest if it is to endure.
“But our Twentieth Century edu
cational aim, is not so much knowl
edge nor a reverence for what our
ancestors have given us in the way
of culture, or power. This in itself
is a praiseworthy aim. But our
present-day world is filled with ex
amples of the destruction that the
power of materialism has wrought.
Mr. Somers read a recent annual
report made by President Nicholas
Murray Butler, to the trustees of
Cijhimbia University, in which Pres
ident Butler expressed himself in
strong terms against contemporary
efforts “to starve youth by depriving
it of intellectual moral nourish
ment.”
“In all our welfare work we are
too concerned with the efficiency
of the body politic to improve the
physical and economic condition of
the individual. There is not a word
of concern for his moral uplift.”
said Mr. Somers.
“Why should W)e longer tolerate
on the statute books of New York a
prohibition against the use of a pub
lic school for any sectarian pur
pose? In the State of New York,
in eleven cities and towns, the au
thorities allow one period a week
for Bible study or religious instruc
tion, but in no case may this in
struction he given on the school pre
mises. What a farce 1 One would
think that religious was poison to
the State.”
“Let us,” he declared, “if we are
honest and mean what we say, ask
as a first step the repeal of this
statute of exclusion. Let Us bring
the teacher who is equipped and who
is especially ordained to teach,
whether he be Jew or Gentile, Cath
olic or Protestant,, into the schools
at such times as may be arranged,
and there justify the hope of the
founders, vindicate their vision and
teach our children to know that the
onlv correct and sure formula for
right living is this, Thou slialt love
the Lord thy God with thy whole
heart and with they whole soul, and
with all thy strength, and thou
shalt love thy neighbor as thyself
for the love of God.’ ”
Inventor of Sailless Boat
Once Teacher in Catholic
Parish School in Germany
(By N. C. W. G. News Service.)
Cologne—Anton Flettner, the Ger-
maii inventor who has gained the
attention of flip whole world with
his, saiiless, wind-driven, boat, is a
former Catholic elementary school
teacher. His device, which drives a
ship without an engine or sa ls by
catching the air in a sort of funnel
arrangement, has been proved effect
ive and big ship companies are plan-,
ing to build merchant vessels which
will use this means of propuls'on.
The invention is regarded by scien
tists and engineers as startling and
revolutionary.
Flettner was forced in his youth
to give us his desire to become a sea
officer. He attended the teachers’
seminary at Fulda from 1903 to 1906.
and became a teacher at Pfaffenwies-
bach, in Hesse-Naussau. But even
at that time he was working on tech
nical mechanical problems. Then,'
after taking a second teacher's ex ;
animation he became an instructor at
Frankfort-on-Main.
In the World War he was scienti
fic instructor with an airplane com
mand, and at the same time did tech
nical work for an airplane plant,
which adopted his invention of an
airplane rudder Since the war he
has given up teaching and has been
devoting himself wholly to technical
work.

(By N. C. W- C. News Service.)
Dupblin.—Deploring the smoking
of cigarettes by the young women
of Ireland, Bishop Fogarty of Killa-
loe blames imperfect education for
the evil.
'file Bishop believes, however that
reforms recently made were wise
and will bring good results. He at
tributes certain shortcomings of the
nation to a lack of intellectual de
velopments of the people- He adds:
“We are now going back to the
system of education which the
church had developed, nursed for
hundreds of years and found to be
correct. I venture to say that in ten
or fifteen years a great improvemeiiT
will he visible in the moral make-up
of all the young boys and girls.”

Cleveland Landlord
Reduces Rent Five Dollars
For Each New Baby
(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
Cleveland. — Married couples
with young children seeking a
place to live have a friend in L.
B. Rabb, Cleveland, owner of
two apartment houses.
Rabb not only does not refuse
to rent to couples with children
but even encourages their com
ing by putting into effect a re
duction of $5 per month in rent
for each baby. He stipulates,
however, that the saving in the
rent be deposited in a bank to
the credit of the new baby in
stead of being spent by the
parents.
A bouquet of flowers to the
young mother also is a contri
bution from Rabb for each new
arrival.
The motive for this unnsual
condition of landlordism dates
from 1904, Rabb states, when he
himself and his wife encoun
tered difficulty in renting apart
ments or houses because,of
their young children. There
upon he resolved that if he be
came a landlord himself no such
condition would prevail in any
apartment house owned by him.
STERLING-REED RANKS
LOSE R L A. SUPPORT
Education Association Head
Sees Little Present Hope
For Subsidizing Measure.
(Continued From Page 1.)
delivered in Chicago last week by
Dr. George D. Strayer of the Teach
er’s College at Columbia University,
Chairman of the Legislative Com
mittee of the National Education As
sociation, in which he defended the
Sterling-Reed bill but admitted that
there was little likelihood, of its
enactment, particularly of that part
of it appropriating $100,000,000 for
federal subsidies to the states. “I
expect we shall have a Federal De
partment of Education before more
Federal supports,” Dr. Strayer said.
“When the period of reaction is over
we shall realize the responsibility of
providing education for all the
children of the United States.”
