TEXAS SCHOOLS.
Teachers Certificates to Be Granted to Sisters
Of Charity.

AUSTIN CTex.), Aug. 17.-The question of
granting certificates to nuns or Sisters OF
Charity authorizing them to teach in the
Texas public schools has been referred by
the State Superintendent to the Attorney
General for an opinion. He has replied,
holding that nothing in the Constitution or
the laws of the State disqualified such per-
sons from receiving certificates, if other
wise qualified 1t is understood that no
religious teaching of any sort shall be per-
mitted by such nuns either during, before or
after school hours, or in the building in
which they may conduct public free
school. The law makes no distinction IN
the religion of those found competent to
teach in the public schools, only requiring
taught therein. The certificates will be
granted in accordance with this opinion.
Many nuns in Texas have passed the exaul-
ination and applied for schools.
