The Pittsburg School Controversy.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Oct. Superintendent
Higbee of the Pennsylvania school depart
ment has rendered an opinion on the legality
of the action of a Catholic school board in
Pittsburg, in leasing public school building
for parOchial school purposes. The superin-
tendent says:
SIN the case submitted to us il is stated
that the board of directors have rented or
leased public school building for the use of
a parochial school, where the peculiar dogmas
and usages of particular church, Or where
only certain distinct class Of children are
admitted. In this case, granting the state
ment Of facts, there is not only an unauthor-
lied violation of trust but seeming indiffer-
ence to what is explicitly forbidden by the
constitution Of the commonwealth itself. A
school is not sectarian because taught by a
minister or priest, or any church Official but
a school controlled Or managed in the interest
of any particular church organization, up
holding its peculiar confession and ecclesiasti-
cal practices, and used for any class of
pupils exclusive of others, is certainly
sectarian. 1t does not in any sense belong
to our system of public schools; on
the contrary, no money raised for
the support Of the public schools
can be used for its support without direct
violation of the coiistitutiof. Were sslp5eA
directors permitted to lease our public prop
erty thus, at their own will, for the use of
parochial schools, the ecclesiastical convic-
tions Of the directors could turn our public
schools into as many different kinds of
church schools as there are different denomi-
nations in the commonwealth.
If the opinion of the state superintendent
of schools should fail to induce the offending
school board to abandon their position, the
case will be appealed to the courts
