Lecture’ by Dr. Thomas Before the Philosophical Society. ‘The Philgsophical Society had a very pleasant and instructive meeting Iast eveiilng at Fair- vank Hull, the President, J. W. Ela, in the chair. ‘The lecture of the evening was by the Kev. H. W. ‘Thomas on * Ethical Teaching in the Public Sehoots.”. Dr. Thomas began with x short dis- quisition on ethics and ethical culture, which be maintained yas as iinpurtiat to civilization as the culture of art.or tho sciences. The tirst writers on ethies referred the origin back to the Bible, or farther still to God. ‘This introduced the question of the Bi- ble in the public scjiools. The lecturer thougot it probable ¥ that ‘there | would be sooner or later a reaction in this matter, which might ‘be muterinily aided, if not hastened, by a combined and judicious action towards replacing the Bible ina moditied form. in the public schvcls. A comumittce from all the city churches might be appointed to carry out the project. The Doctor confessed that the Bi. ole w ol to objection ns huul bouk, Lut he proposéd to fil its plate with a Book of Morals, containing selections from both the Old and New Testaments, aud he was liberal enough to admit into nis buok selections troin the Pagan writers, Zoroaster, Confucius, and Buddha.

Waterman argued in favorof the ‘urer’s proposition, and: imuntained that it wi impossibie, taking Ins own children as a standard of excellence, to in- ft too much ethical culture Into the crew gen- eration, Prot, Welei stated thit the average term of a pupil wis dou of tive hours exch— so short a space of Hime that itw rely pos=. sible fur the pupil to learn tu read and write and study could be eliminated, under these cireum- sttnces, to make way for the new one. Dr. ‘Thouas In rebuttal argued that some of the ‘public-sebuol studies, notably geography and the History of the United States, might. be greatly simphitied, and that the tine thus saved inigbt be utilized with the greatest. benefit in ethien! studies, Itwus the one great way, be clalmed, to reduce crime.
