The meeting held by the board of Ell
ucation on Tuesday evening stirred up
renewed activity in relation to the pub
lie parochial school matter. The mem
bers OF the board were not backward in
giving their opinions in connection with
the matter. and unless the courts are
resorted to the present state of affairs
will last until the close of the school,
year. The petition requested the meni.l
bers of the board whose terms do not
expire this year to state whether or not
they would be in favor of conducting
the schools in similar manner next
year. President Ciapp stated that if
there was going to be so much oppo-1
SitiOn to the plan he would not be in
favor Of renewing the contract. When
the proposition was accepted at the be-
ginning of the school year every
member OF the board thought
that the plan would eventually
result in breaking up the paroclliai
schools. and considered the movement
wise one. The proposed plan was
spoken OF before the contract was en-
tered into, and no opposition appeared
until several weeks afterward when the
ministerial union presented a remon-,
STRANGE against the boards action. The
board considered then that it had done
nothing wrong, and feels the same at
the resent time. All of the members
of the board present at the meeting,
with the exception of Mr.. Per Lee, did
not consider the garb worn by the Sis
tiers of Charity as Savoring of any relig-
ION, and could not see why so much OBJ
lection should be offered to them as
teachers, when they had all passed sat
isfactory examinations. The school
matter has caused much disSensiOn, and
has subjected tine board of education to
censure OH all sides. The fact of
the matter is that the public
school buildings in this city are
not sufficiently large to accommodate
all of the children in the city, and the
board considered it wise plan to lease
the hill school at nominal rental until
other arrangements could be made.
members of the board, would like to
see their rights in the matter deter
mined in the courts.
