THE PLAN MUST
BE DISCONTINUED
Superintendent Skinner Decides
PoughkeepSie School Question
GARB OF RELIGIOUS ORDER
Cannot be Worn by Teachers Who In
struct the Young in the Public
Schools of City of
New York.
GARB OF RELIGIOUS ORDER

Albany, N. Y, December A-State 5u-
perintendent Skinner has decided the ap-
peal of Edward Keyser against the board
of educa ton Of the city of Poughkeepsie in
favor of the appellant. The appeal is from
the action of the board of education IN the
rental of school buildings for permanent
use by the board OF education, and the en-
ployment, as teachers, of persons who
wear the distinctive dress or garb of re-
ligious order. The board of education oil
Poughkeepse since 1913 has been renting
of various church denominations an indi-
vidual school building and rooms in which
to conduct the public schools of that city.
They have neglected to equip their
school system with sufficient accommoda-
lions owned by the city for the children
desiring to attend the school thereof, and
the result has been that on the LIST day OF
September last upwards of 1000 of the
school children in that city were compelled
to alternate in their attendance and were
able to receive but two and one-fourth
hours instructions each day. Superintend-
ent Skinner holds that union of interests
is no longer desirable, nor for the best in
terests of the schools of the city, and is
against the letter anu spirit Vi .iie SNH''A
tuition. The public school system must be
conducted in such a broad and Catholic
spirit that Jew and protestant and Catho-
lie alike shall find therein absolutely no
cause for complaint"
The superintendent also rules that 1t Is
the duty OF the board of education to re-
quire teachers employed by them to dis
continue in the public school room the use
of the distinguishing dress or garb of any
religious order The effect of the decision
is that the plan in operation in that city
and known as the "Poughkeepsie plan,
must be discontinued and that all cities,
villages and school districts must own the
property in which their schools are con-
Quoted, except only in cases of temporary
emergency, which are provided for by the
school law.

Without exception, the naval officers
would welcome the possession of Ha-
wall just at this moment as affording

The nomination today of a number Of
major generals and brigadier generals
is an indication Of the purpose Of the

that there are not enough commands

The idea Of the resignation of the

The Westminster Gazette this after
noon, discussing the Philippine ques-
ton, quotes the assumption Of Ameri-
can newspapers that the United States
can do precisely what she chooses with
Manila or the Philippine islands-re-
turn them or keep them, sell them or
barter thenl-implying that America
mas only to speak and no one will ven
ture to dispute her right to dispose of
her lawful prize as she chooses"
The Westminster Gazette saws II
much fears that "this view will entail
disagreeable surprises" adding: an
entering European politics the United
States will probably discover that these
simple IDEAS of doing what you will
with your own have become obsolete
IN Europe. The first symptoms are
likely to be marked by an increase of
the anti-Americam pressure, which. If
Great Britain could be counted upon
to Join 1T, would speedily lead to inter
Vent1on in behalf Of Spain."

Two special dispatches from Madrid in
government of the country are be-
ginning to be discussed as If the fg-
ures Of the queen regent and King AL
fonso had already disappeared from
the stage Of Spanish politics.
Gen. Weyler is dubbed '"The Spanish
Boulanger" and in some quarters
military dictatorship in his hands Is
regarded as probable. But the wider
opinion is that he will not succeed any
better than Boulanger did.
The continental press notices the
broadening political ambition of the
United States coupled with the in
creasing friendship between Great
Britain and the United States with ILL
concealed aversion. Intervention ru-
mors are again in the air. 1t is abso-
lutely certain that Spain has taken no
steps in this direction, nor Is she likely
to do so until she has suffered a re-
verse on the Atlantic.
1t is believed that there have been
some exchanges Of views between the
powers on the subject Of the Philip
pines as to which all kinds of specula-
tton are afloat.
None OF the powers like the idea Of
the United States becoming a near
neighbor Of Japan, and the fear of
further American victories is likely to
give cohesion in which the powers
hitherto have been sadly lacking.
There can be no doubt that the sue
cess of the United States at Manila
gives little pleasure to the continental
politicians, who recognize that America
is now certain to become a first-class
naval power and will have to be reck-
oned with in the worlds affairs.
The fact that the American papers
are looking kindly upon the possibility
of a British protectorate in the Philip
pines gives additional umbrage, as in

he referred to the partition of these
