The letter dated 1826 reads as follows: You are welcome to the school house to debate all proper questions in, but such things as railroads and telephones are impossibilities and rank infidelity: there is nothing in the word of God about them. If God designed that his intelligent creatures should travel at the frightful speed of l5 miles an hour, He would have clearly foretold it through His holy prophets. It is a device of Satan to lead immortal souls down to hell. There was no lack of Puritanism in the songs then used in school. In Fishers Youths' Primer of lSl7 is found the following song: l in the burying place may see Graves shorter there than I. From death's arrest no age is free, Young children too may die. My God, may such an awful sight Awakening be to me! Oh that by early grace l might For death prepared be. The teaching in the public schools has often been a target for public criticism. For a long time the schools were considered ungodly if they taught that the earth is round. The story is told of an early teacher who applied to a school board for a job and was asked what he taught concerning the shape of the earth. lie made himself safe by saying that he was able tu teach either the flat system or the round system.
