st Cloud Journal-Press %: Inspect
or of Graded Schools A. W. Rankin
of Minneapolis and County Super
intendent Ahles went to St. Joseph
today to inspect the schools of that
village, which are on the inspection
list for state aid. The Same condi-
tions prevail at st. Joseph az at Pierz,
Morrison county, where Catholic Sis
ters are employed as teachers in the
public schools. There have been
come objections raised against Civ
ing the schools at Pierz the special
state aid, as the Sisters wear the
Rarb Of their religious order, the
contention being that it is violation
OF the law which prohlblts religious
instruction in the public schools.
The question has not been passed upon
by the state board, which coneists of
state Superintendent Olson, Presid lent
Northrop of the state university, Su-
perlntendent Jordan of Minneapolis,
the president of the state normal
board and one member yet to be ap-
pointed by the governor. Rankin' 8
Walt to st. Joseph is to determine the
quality of work done Dy the teachers,
and whether the schools are up to the
required standard. and it is under
stood that personally he will make no
/ report against the schools employing
Sisters where the patrons are largely
members Of the Catholic denomination
and there. is no local objection. He
will report npon the quality Of work
done. He will also visit Pierx before
the next meeting of the state board.
