SCHOOL NEWSGrades 4,5,6 — On Friday May 1 wevisited the Merrick Art Gallery in NewBrighton to see a collection of paintings byMrs. Betty Douglas, professor at GenevaCollege. Mrs. David Carson helped usappreciate what we saw. We are beginningwork on science projects dealing withareas we have been covering in the last sixweeks.Sixth graders are beginning to collecttheir writings from the year in hopes of apublication date before school is out.TESTING PROGRAMThe students were tested last weekwith the Metropolitan Achievement Test.This test is aimed at determining thedevelopment of learning skills.IN DEBTWe still have not been able to repayour $500 loan. As our expenses have increasedthis year, our contributions havenot increased to meet the added financialneeds. Pray for our financial needs andplans for the coming year.CHRISTIANSFOR EDUCATIONAL JUSTICETwo forms are given for you toconsider. One is a form you can use to payyour school tax under protest. Rev. JoelNederhood has been doing this for the pastthree years. Modify this form to meet yourneeds.The other is a resolution of C.E.J.This resolution was presented at theAnnual Association Meeting on May 18,1971. It was decided to have a separatemeeting to discuss it. We urgently need totake this kind of action. You do not needto have children in school to participate.TO:MR. OR MRS.SCHOOL TAX COLLECTOR FORAND SCHOOL BOARD.RE:PARCEL No.TAXTHIS WILL ADVISE YOU THAT THEUNDERSIGNED IS ARE PAYING THECAPTIONED TAX UNDER PROTEST.We protest being taxed to supportthe State educational system which,consciously or not, teaches the religion ofhumanism which has no consistent orviable moral foundation and is destructiveof the Christian life style which we desirefor our children. Further we protest themonopolization of our tax funds by thissystem in religious discrimination againstChristian School to which our taxfunds should be paid.This protest is lodged by us asChristian parents who believe we must, tobe faithful to Jesus Christ, raise ourchildren under His nurture and admonitionin a Christian philosophy of instruction.Further, we protest yourdiscriminatory educational and taxingpolicy as being contrary to the U. S.Constitution, First Amendment, in that itconstitutes, first, an establishment of thereligion of Secular Humanism contrary tothe holding of ABINGDON vs. SCHEMPP,374 U.S. 203 (1963) at p. 225, and, second,constitutes an inhibition of our freedom ofreligion contrary to the holding of PIERCEvs. SOCIETY OF SISTERS 268 U.S. 510(1925) and EVERSON vs. BOARD OFEDUCATION OF EWING TOWNSHIPet. al., 330 U.S. 1 (1947) at p. 15, 16.We believe that this inequitableallocation of public welfare moniesviolates the principle of religious freedomagainst the consciences of persons whohave religious scruples against the religionof secularism as established in stateeducation. If continued, this practice willbe damaging to education in general, toour county, state, and our great nation.Please acknowledge your receipt andnotice of this protest.Respectfully submitted,RESOLUTIONWHEREAS Scripture commands us tohonor the authority of civil government asordained by God, Christians forEducational Justice ( CEJ ) acknowledgesfor itself and its members, its duty to obeyand honor lawful civil authority, to paytaxes, and to seek to serve as useful andproductive citizens of their respectivecommunities.WHEREAS Scripture having commandedus to raise our children in the nurture andadmonition of the Lord; to give ultimatesupremacy and honor to Jesus Christ in allthings, we have formed CEJ to provide aChrist-centered education for our children.WHEREAS The public school system hasestablished primarily the religion of secularhumanism as the guiding basis forcurriculum and education in state controlledschools.WHEREAS Under current laws Christiansof CEJ are compelled to support with theirschool taxes said public school system inviolation of their consciences and inprejudice to the ecomomic supportnecessary to the proper operation ofChristian schools.NOW THEREFORE:The members of CEJ resolve to henceforthpay their public school taxes under protestand seek of the government by all lawfulmeans equitable and just tax treatment forthemselves and their fellow citizens.A2 % %Ji^5;SYTT when you prepare >^A your will ...

Protected Yet ExposedMartin Broadview, homeward bound from thecleaner's on a Saturday morning, paused in his walk besidethe white picket fence of his neighbor, Peter Sharp.Martin's glance had hurdled the pickets and swept acrossthe leaf-littered flower beds to light on the bent back ofPeter, busy digging up his dahlia and gladiola bulbs forwinter storage."Good morning, Peter," he called. "Keeping yourgreen thumb in condition?""Hello, Martin," came the quick response. "No, it's abrown thumb this time. To paraphrase the poet, The bulbthat's dug and stored away lives to bloom another day.Come on over a minute; I want to talk to you."Unlatching the gate, Martin laid his paper-encasedcleaning on the rose-arbor seat and sat down beside Peteron the casement curbing of the barbecue. Longacquaintance and a common faith had put the men oneasy terms."What's on your mind, Peter?""I'm still thinking about sending our children to theChristian school. Have you considered it any further sincewe talked last?""Yes, Mary and I talked it over, but it looks likeoverprotection to us. Our youngsters have to meet theworld sometime, and they may as well learn how to do itnow.""Well, the Bible says there is a time for everything; atime to do things and a time not to do them. Isn't itpossible that there is a time to protect children as well as atime to expose them? We don't send them over to theneighbor's house when his child has diphtheria; we sendthem to the doctor to get a preventive. I don't leave thesebulbs in the ground all winter just to show how hardy theyare; a good many of them wouldn't pull through. You startyour tomato seeds inside the house- or under glass justbecause they need to be sheltered while they are tender.And we gave up sending raw recruits to war a long timeago. Thorough training under controlled conditionsproved far more effective preparation for the battlefield."Now it seems to me the same principle holds fortraining our children. Their minds are pliable, receptive,and easily influenced. The Lord has made them that way— long on imagination but short on reasoning power.They can't even see, to say nothing of bringing home foryou to answer, the godless, secular view of life that insubtle ways is constantly handed to them in theschoolroom. I don't mean that they are taught atheism inso many words, but their whole education begins and endsin man—in themselves. They simply get spiritual frostbitewithout realizing it. And the application of spiritualwarmth in family worship and church, indispensable as16these are, may be no more a cure for that than a placebeside the hot radiator is for a frostbitten plant. Wewouldn't send our soldiers to be trained by the Communists;and if we expect our children to fight against anungodly world, I'm beginning to think we had better notsend them to the world for their education."Martin stared at the sticks he had been playing withwhile Peter talked."No, Peter," he said finally. "It still strikes me thatthe Christian school is too secluded. My youngsters haveto brush elbows with the world. I don't want themsheltered. Let them stand out in the storm and growstrong."Peter's face grew quizzical."Do you know, Martin, who I think are reallysheltered?" he asked. "They are the children who aregoing to secular schools. There they are, right at thegrowing stage in their lives, when they need all the sunshinefor mind and heart that they can absorb, and theyare put into a classroom that is as thoroughly "blackedout" and as hermetically sealed off from the sunshine andfresh air of God's truth as the laws regarding separation ofchurch and state can make it. Let's remember that God'struth is found in His creation and in history as well as inthe Bible, and that any attempt to educate a child withoutgiving him that realization is robbing the child of the mostpriceless treasure we can give him—the knowledge ofGod in Christ.""In that sense, Martin," continued Peter, "I don'twant my children sheltered either. I don't want themsheltered from instruction which puts God at the center ofevery part of life and leads the child to see the glory ofGod in every subject and in all of life. That sounds likespiritual sunlight and good air for a tender plant. I don'twant to deny it to my children and see them grow up sicklywhite like the weeds under our porch. They'll get enoughcontact with the world as they mature. Putting them intoitnow for the training of their minds and souls sounds to melike planting these young bulbs outdoors in the wintertime.""That's a new approach," said Martin. "You musthave been thinking a lot about this. Say, I've got to gethome with these clothes, butI'll see you tomorrow.""All right," answered Peter. "Don't f<strong>org</strong>et thatyou're sheltering those clean clothes pretty carefullytillit's time to let them come into contact with their world."—Albert E. Greene, Jr.Cono Christian School NewsI am much afraid that the universities and schoolswill prove to be the gates of hell, unless they diligentlylabor in explaining the Holy Scriptures and engravingthem in the hearts of youth. I advise no one to place hischild where the Scriptures do not reign paramount.—MARTIN LUTHERCOVENANTER WITNESS
