nL.ADvlsHD MOVEMENT

1t is announced that ministers oi
Los Angeles are about to begin 9
movement which they intend shall cul.
inmate in the reinstatement of Bible
reading IN the public schools" The
Los Angeles Church federation, as re.
ported, will take up the subject fol
discussion at a future meeting. In sup.
port of this movement the declaration
Is made that "a knowledge of those
portions of the Scriptures which have
to do with Christian ethics are essen
tial to the proper education of the
child and that they should be read ir
the schools"
| From this proposition It is inferred
that the purpose is to introduce in the
public schools an especial feature OF
Bible reading, namely, the New Tes-
lament. That is the only part of the
Scriptures, of course, that has a direct
bearing on the Christian religion.
A thoughtful consideration of this
subject must lead to the conclusion
that the movement in question is i'll
advised. In the first place the rein
PRODUCTION Of the Bible in our public
schools, with special reference tc
Christian ethics, would necessarily be
displeasing to large and important ele-
ments of the citys population.
Los Angeles is cosmopolitan city
and there is great variety of non-
Christian belief in its citizenship. There
ora sa1,aroI raIteyi0Vs oIaD,an+e bara tho
are not Christian and there is a large
percentage Of our people who are non-
religious. An attempt to relnstate the
Bible in the schools would surely create
a condition Of discord and social rup-
ture such as never has been witnessed
here. And 1t is obvious that such q
rupture would be highly detrimental
to every feature of public and private
interests.
| Religious instruction for the rising
generation is commendable, but it has
no proper place in the public schools
Absolute freedom in religious matters
| is a guaranteed principle Of American
government. It is rooted in the fed
eral constitution and is respected by
every phase of legislation. It would
not be right and it certainly would
not be expedient to force Christian
ethics into schools having a large per-
centage of non-Christian or non-re'
ligious pupils.
There are ample opportunities for in
culcating Christian ethics among the
children of Los Angeles without in
vading the public schools in such zeal
Gus efforts. The home, the Sunday
school and the church afford all the
means essential for leading children
of Christian parentage into the de-
sired religious path.
This question of Bible teaching in
public schools was threshed out in Los
Angeles long ago, as it has been al
some period in the history of nearly
every American city. The threshine
of it always has caused harmful dis
turbance of friendly relations in com
munities, and the certainty of repe
: tition of such rupture should cause thu
proposition in question to be discoun
tenanced now in Los Angeles.

Bonahde residents Of California pos
sess among "other rights of residence
the right to send their children TO the
public schools. Secretary Root con-
tends that this right, under our treaty
with Japan, cannot be denied the Jap
anese residents Of San Francisco.
Why Test Case Was Abandoned
Unofficial advices from San Francisco
bring the news that the case which had
been brought in the circuit court there
by attorneys representing the Japanese
residents to test the constitutionality
of the state law prescribing separate
schools for orientals has been aban-
doned. 1t is understood that action
was taken upon the advice of the Jap
anese ambassador, who pointed out
that the question involved treaty be-
tween this country and Japan, and that
the Japanese could more advantage
ously rest their case on the ground Of
a treaty right.
This was good advice. If the presi-
dent is convinced from the report made
to him by Secretary Metcalf that Jap
anese citizens have suffered denial
OF right guaranteed to them by treaty,
the course of procedure open to him is
this: Through the secretary of state
the president calls to the attention OF
the governor Of California the reported
violation of the treaty right, and re-
quests that immediate steps be taken
to remedy the matter. Should the gov
ernor of California agree with the
president he can call a special session
Of the legislature to repeal the law
under which Japanese are excluded
from the public schools. If, as is the
more probable, the governor differs
from the president, and is disposed to
argue for the rights of California to
regulate her own school system inde-
pendent of the federal government, the
alternative left the president is to place
the case in the hands of the attorney
general, who through the district at
torney for San Francisco may bring
the case into court.

intends making visit to California to

he ate so many nuts that one day the
nut dish was moved UP on the high

Drinks to Match Gowns,

From the New York Evening Telegram
Drinks in pastel shades taken
women at fashionable soda fountains
this summer. So that those who aim
to be sartorial symphonies can carry
out the color scheme in their soda
fountain drinks and have their cos
tunes shoes, parasol and gloves all of
the same color. For instance, a woman
in an old rose frock can take a straw
berry flip or one in Il blue suit Blue
berry Tadi"
Those who like cherry cobbler. New
York flip, or cherry cocktail will find
that they correspond splendidly with a
light pink colored dress. while ella
raque. goldenade or raspberry punch"
is appropriate with claret toned cos
tunes. If this matching of drinks and
gowns is popular. then "silverade" will
be a favorte, for its light, frothy gray
will harmonic beautifully With the
many suits of that tone already much
worn, for both street and afternoon
use.
Among the new drinks there are
that will make them doubly attractive
to many women. These are almond
rlckey. midZumar punch, Roman punch,
claraQue and Delaware flip.
New drinks, according to a man who
has charge of popular soda fountain,
are as a rule faVorlteS with young
women. and those who go in for fads
and anything that is new.
There are some women who try
everything on our MENU" he says, land
change the drink each day. The favor
lite one, however especially with young
girls and middle aged women, is the
old standby, ice cream soda, with choc-
olate or cherry flavors. Next to these
l think our frappes or ice cream sun
daes. as they are frequently called,
made with the cream syrup and fresh
fruit, are standard orders. OF these
vanilla ice cream, with cherries and
the flavor. or ice cream with walnuts
and maple syrup, are in greatest de-
mand. There are frequent calls for
peach, pineapple. strawberry, raspber-
ry, cream of cocoanut and the walnut
bisque, which is the same as that
made with cream, syrup and the whole
nuts, except that on the top there is
whipped cream with chopped nuts
frozen hard.
