Of the Christmas carol however hns
not boon brought up before, and the
agitation along this line appears 70
have arisen from objections made by
the parenta Of Jewish boy who had
becn taught Christmas hymn by his
teacher In the hymn the following
stanza occurs:
Away In the mangcr no crib FOR his
bed,
The little Lord Jesus laid down HIS
sweet head
The stars and the sky looked down
where He lay,
The little Lord Jeaus asleep on the
hay
Many Of the ministers express regret
that tho rabbi should take exception TO

ton, they argue, u Is better to have no
celebration at all, But In this demo-
cratic government they further reason,

parents everywhere In this country who
arc pleased with school teachers who
take the pains Of teaching the children
q few songs considered appropriate for
the occasion But why could not these
be taught after regular school hours
and only 20 those whose parents have
no objections? That would simplify

public school, but half on hours sings.
