...take my religion straight and oldfashioned. But perhaps Mrs. Blaisdell (TIME, Oct. 26) by her white ribbon Prohibition of religion may be doing more good.

I can well imagine these children, who are to be so carefully shielded from any reference to a higher power, turning into every church they pass for a surreptitious prayer.
