the gross injustice of forcing children, %

The action of the Board of Education OF Of
Long Islsnd City in directing the reading OF
IN pG ths Schools under the. charge, during
and IN Of tSsa %
of declining to be present at such reading, mas
been without warrant Of law:
such decision is certainly very crafty
ingto Catholics a. a oo.nrma.,Sa o .. "a
tion TO the Bible IN the schools, we have
always had the supporter law. Hence II
ia very easy to understand the reJ1tcine
with which the Catholics Of Long islan y
City received IL. It would seem just q
simple for the Board Of Education to abide
hy q decision which rest upon the Laws
but NO! it appears chat the end is not YET
nor will It be SO easy. The only appee
left to the Board OF EauSaslGs ~ os 70 ~ y
make. Meanwhile, Catholic children, ant
JeVish children, and children OF ever
creed bat the dominant sect, are 70 o
forced 70 listen to the Bible, and the cnil
Ia Hsten to it, are not to be re-adnaittet
law and Superintendent Weaver to til
contrary Notwithstanding. We regret
such be the resolution Of tue Board, bu
though it has determined to SIGHT it ont, II
the lighting Of the Catholics consist In p'
tent But Arm re solve, alone: We consid
that the best of the issue ia confirmed
them by the decision of the Superintendent
and hence, if need be, they can afford
rest their case, pending the hnal voice
the Legislature.-N. Y. Tablet.
