Religion Taught by State Schools.

In the Contemporary Review (London) for May, Mr. H. V. Weisse discusses the religion of the English school boy, and concludes that it is of very little account in practical, ordinary life; that it is a practical failure “to produce moral strength in boys.” And so all perfunctory, routine teaching will ever be. If religion is to be taught in schools, it must first be in the teacher a vitalizing current, affecting all with whom it comes in contact.
