this legacy of Democratic eorruption.-

think all will admit tire real truth, II

however, discloses q state of facts which
suggests something more than simple

rISlsachJrs, OH their own motion, re,
,eat the Lords Prayer at the opening
IF school. requiring the pupils to pow
their heads, Catholics refuse, teachers
insist and pupils are dismissed from the
school for their non conforming, and
that teacher claims this right under
chapter 8 of the school laws" a.5 at;4
There is, in my opinion, nothing In
this or in any other portion OF our law,
to warrant any such exercise Of authori-
ty on tire part of teachers. Many Cath.
olics consider it wrong to engage or JOIN
in any religious worship with Protes-
tants. Whether their view In that par
ticular Is sound or erroneous, In your
judgment or mine, is not the question.
They have 1t, and the same law which
secures to every citizen of the State the
right to use the Lords Prayer, protects
the Catholic in his right to refuse to
join with others in its use. The teach
er has right to enforce order in school
during prayers as well as at all other
times, but he hls no right, by competi-
ing the scholar to bow his head upon
his desk, (which is considered through
out the Christian woulda as an evidence
of joining in the Worship to violate In
the person of that scholar that freedom
Of cOncience which our Constitution and
laws guaranty to any citizen. Still less
has he right to enforce such a rule by
expulsion from the school.
If the Lords Prayer is offered and ut
tered in something Of she spirit Of the
Divine Author, it will very soon be the
effect of subdung all irreverence OH the
part of the scholar, and Vanishing intol-
erance from the heart of the teacher.
