PETTY PERSECUTION.
That Is What Bishop Becker Called
Action of the Atlanta School Board.

ACtlOn OF IDe AtlunNa SCnOOl
From Mondays Atlanta Constitution.
Right Rev. Thomas A. Becker, bishop of
the Roman Catholic diocese of Savannah,
denounces a late action of the Atlanta
Board of Education as petty persecu-
ton"
The coming week is known in Roman
Catholic and Episcopal circles as Holy
Week. There are certain days during this
week, as well as throughout the year, up
on which church attendance is ''obliga-
tory" that is absence from the celebration
of the mass upon such days is sinful
The Jews, also, have a number of days
sacred TO themselves, upon which the syn
agogue claims the individual attention of
its members
Many years ago Hon. Daniel Mayer, now
dead, who was then a member of the
Board of Education, had inserted in the
rules of the Board of Education proviso
that attendance upon obligatory services
of the religious body to which a pupil
might belong should not be cause for de
merit. 1t was held by the board that If
the child kept up with its studies, the mere
matter of a days absence when conscience
required it should not be converted into
punishment. Last week. just on the eve
of Holy Week, this rule was abruptly re-
pealed, apparently without consultation
with those who will be affected by it. The
first protest made against this action came
from Hon. Joseph Hirsch, a prominent
Jewish citizen, who has served both on
the board and in the City Council.
When Bishop Becker of the Roman Cath
Ollie Church addressed the congregation of
the Church of the Immaculate Conception
yesterday, he said:
The Board of Education of the city of
Atlanta has just repealed the rule by
which children were permitted to attend
church without demerit, and yet this is
a liberal" city! The action is a piece of
petty persecution-petty, petty! 1t is
wrong, 1T is against the spirit of our in
stitutions, and it cannot stand discussion.
