FRAZER IN THE SCHOOLS. Must All Children Without Distinc-
 tion Bow the Head4

uS6 A HI Ch11Ofen without D1St1ncs
 ton Row the Head4
 BIRMINGHAM, Mass, March 11.-A test case in which the towns of the State are in terested is now trial, and the result bids fair to either establish or forever abolish the old New England custom of requiring the children of the public schools to bow the head during devotional services or that DOT ton of them in which the Lords prayer is repeated in concert by the school The State statute authorizes a portion of the scriptures read in the public schools without comment and provides that any scholar whose conscience forbids him taking part may be excused if a written request from the parents or guardian is give- to the teacher. At the grammar school taught by Miss Josephine A. Merrill a son of one Green, Roman Catholic citizen, refused to bow his head in prayer as required of the other pupils and was kept after school by the teacher, who desired to talk with him relative to his misconduct Not being successful in dealing with the boy the case was referred cided that the boy must apologize to Miss Merrill in the presence of the school for his impudence toward her, not, however, for refusing to bow his head. It now appears that the father told his son not to bow his head and refuses to allow him to apologize to the teacher before being admitted into the school again. It is understood that Green threatens to institute suit against the school cemmitte for not allowing the boy to re- enter the school without apology. For g consideration of the whole matter the school committee has called a special meeting al which it is desired to have the boys father and Rev. Father Cullen, MT. Greens pastor appear.
