TAKES RELIGION FROM SCHOOLS.
Srltish Court Decides People Need
Not Pay fer This instruction.

London.-A decision given by the
court OF appeals leaves the question
OF religious education in Great Brit.
Nm In peculiar position. The edAca-
lion act of 1902 was intended to
compel local authorities to pay for
religious instruction in the voluntary
schools, and led to the notorious
passive resistance" movement under
which numbers of nonconformists re-
FUSED TO pay the rates levied to cover
THIS expenditure for church schools.
In the meantime the county council
OF the west riding of Yorkshire re.
fused TO pay teachers Tor the time
devoted by them to religious instruc-
ton. The board of education then
sought the assistance of the courts In
the matter, with the result that the
court of appeals decided in favor of
the Yorkshire council
II this decision should be upheld
by the house of lords. whittier the
case now will be carried, il win prac-
tically accomplish by stroke what
the bill now in parliament of August
Inc Birrell, president of the board OF
education, aims at, and. furthermore,
1t possibly may enable a large mum
Der of passive resisters" to bring &C
ton for false Imprisonment.
The entire trouble appears to be
due to the careless drafting of the
bill in 1902.
