LES MISERABLES BARRED.
HugO's Novel Considered immoral
in Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA Pa, Oct. 12.-
Les Misera bles," Victor Hugo's mas
terpiece of fiction and sociology, has
been barred out of the girls high
school of this city on the ground that
il is impure Animated discussion pre-
ceded the decision of the committee OF
the board of education. William -.
Rorer, principal of the school, present
ed to the committee list of text books
required by it, Chairman Morton
looked over the titles and when he
spied Les Miserables," in French, he
instantly objected, declaring that he
regarded the work as decidedly I'M
proper to put in the hands OF hlsh
school girls. Richardson L. Wright,
member of the committee, had read the
work and regarded it as perfectly
shocking in it's relation to the French
side of life 1t is wholly improper"
he added, "to put in the hands of
pupils, even if they are French stu
dents.'
Mrs. Mary E. Mumford, the only
woman member of the committee was
the only defender of Hugo's immortal
work, but her solitary protest was
speedily overruled. She said it had
doubtless been recommended as being
typical of the highest classical French
literature. Chairman Morton thus ex-
pressed. his views: MY objection is
to the tone of the book 1t deals, as
anyone who has read it knows, with
the grisettes of France. That in itself
is condemnatory I think that we who
have charge Of the public schools have
a sacred trust and we cannot be too
cautious in keeping from young girls
and boys that which detracts from their
ideals of virtue and purity Their par
ents hold us responsible and we owe
duty to them and the girls. If the
book is in a library, that is a different
thing, for the child's parents are sup
posed to keep an eye over what
She reads; but to require pupils to read
a tainted book is wrong. l would OBJ

have been no elections for decade.
