Abstract

The question of religious education in mission-schools in China has again become very acute. In fact, it has reached a crisis. The present regulations touching religious instruction in elementary and middle schools are as follows: "A private school founded by a religious body is not permitted to give religion as a required subject, nor is religious propaganda permitted in the class instruction. If there are any religious exercises, students shall not be compelled or enticed to participate. No religious exercises shall be allowed in primary schools.'' (Chap.1, Art. 5.)
