The aetiun of the School Board in throwing out what i~ commonly known as the Ross Bible, though more properly called "Scrip+,ure Selections, was we think ratl1er ha.sty and unadvised. The result has been tlllit where before was order is now confusion. The selections of 11cripture in the Ross edition were a nicely arranged collectien of Bible lessons. The school teachers had merely to open the book and r·e1>c1 lesson aftor lesson consecutively, ~md the mioister whose duty it was to visit the school; by consulting his b<>0k,ltnew just what the pupil11 had been r eading through the week, and could prepare his r~ marks nccordingly. La.st week when f he ministers visited the schools all was n.,nfllsion in regard to scriptur,1 lessons, no ]Jarticular oelecttons having been me.de, RO that the chililren were not prepared to answer questions put by the minister. Someone has now got to go to the trouble of writing up a list of lessons for the te~cherf.I to give to the children in order t hat both minister a.nd children may be prepared on the s~me imbject. No one would c!lre l.0)1ave the teacher bQgin at Genises and read consecutively chapter after chapter through E xodus and L eviticus, and so on . The case is much as if t lrn <lifferent Sunday Schools of the town wera i;o throw out the International series of lt'.ssons, and go b~ck to the old system of enrybody- choo~e-for-the m selves. Thll ministers of the town sPem to h "ve b ee11 generally Mti-tiPd with the u se of th e :iuthori7.·' C Ross edition, and they certainly ou~ht to ha first consulted on tlw rnbj~ct, as t ho work of instruction has been largely perform ed by them. We think th at it should be the aim of every true I'r,·testant t'> aid and ns~ist them in their work rath er than to throw hindrances in their way. There has b een a rumor goint:( the rounds, ti.at the m,·mber of the School B o1ud who took such an active pn.rt in throwing out thtl Ross Bible is a R om an Cath olic au d that his real obj t-ct is tc Lhrow t hinizs into disorder 1rnd thus prevent the r ea'din.g of any portion of the Bible in the schools. This rnmor we believe t o be altogether withou t foundation, as we undtira·and that the said member is a re11:ular attendant of the English church, and we believe h e acted in all sincerity, bdieving that his action would be for the be~t, whatever other people may th ink or s11.y to the contrary. '\Ve are also informed t hat h e has made up his mind t o vi~it t he echool frequently mornings and see for himself that the .Bible is d uly r e acl. W e believe, however, tlrnt it wo uld have been much better to h11.ve let things rnn along as they were rdher than to rm!ely upset them at a mG1I1en t's notice. It is always better to wel,J weigh th ese matters befora tak ing &Of' d ecisive action. ~~~---~.-....-----~~~ ·..-a:.
