STATE ALONE CAN GIVE RELIGIOUS TEACHING.
MUSSOLINI SAYS ITALY NEEDS VIRILE, WARLIKE EDUCATION SYSTEM. (United Press Assn.—-By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) (Received May 27, 8.45 a.m.) ROME, May 25. Signor Mussolini, in the Senate, declared that the State alone could give the requisite religious instruction to children, supplementing it with (fisciplinary measures. One must have regard for the realities of life, and those who maintained that the teaching of children was a matter solely for the family were saying something wholly inconsistent with the realities of life. The modern family was engaged unceasingly in the struggle for daily bread and could not teach anyone. Only the State could undertake the task. Italy needed a virile, warlike education Having interests to defend every da)' she could not yield to the lure of universalism, which could be understood in people who had arrived, but which could not be permitted in people who had not arrived.—Australian Press Association-United Service.
