GENERAL that this style Of - non sectarian" schools works well,
l KNOW positively that IL does not work well. And If that gen.
teDan or the Board Of Education desires 10 know honestly how
the plan really i working. they have only TO open their doors
to petitions, with the slightest hint that the petitions will be
Ls'ened to But this i not done, nor viii II be, SO long as peo-
