WOULD BAR RELIGION.
Schools No Place for Sectarian
Teachings, Says Committee.

The committee elementary schools. in a report
to the Board Education its meeting yesterday,
declared that the public schools were no place for
concentrations that point. citing the gst Of a
former report.
y At the same time the committees report, which
was believed to have been inspired by the recent
protest of Jewish citizens against the holding Of
religious exercises Christmastide, declared that
it had found nothing objectionable IN these ex-
ercises and made no recommended tions concerning
them specifically.
The bylaws of this board" the report said 'are
silent upon the question OF holding religious exer-
cises in relation tv Christmas: such exercises have
however, been held for many years as to be
sanctioned by custom We find by investigation
that such exercises, In the main, are unobjection-
able. The Christmas tree against which so strenu-
objection IS made, did not form part OF the
exercises in schools situated in the JeWlsl neSi-
borhoods. and. where used, was confned 10 Klhuer-
garten and lower classes
I'm opinion the Christmas tree. IN connec-
ton with these exercises, works no harm ana uoeS

of its fathers From the investigation made we
believe that these exercises can be so conducteu'
with the elimination of sectarian hymns and songs
and of alusion to the religious aspect OF the oaS,
to make them source of pleasure and JOY 10
the children, without in any manner teachlng tie
doctrines OF any particular faith. We nave al
lowed these exercises, heretofore, 10 be conducted

The committee offered resolutions forbiddlng the
singing of hymns songs of a sectarlan character
and suggesting that books containing such be
stricken from the list of text books in use and
that pupils be assigned to prepare essays on
distnCtively religious topics.
Action the report and resolution was post
poned until the next meeting.

tried to put out without sounding an alarm.

| NO BALLOT DECISION.
Mutual Life's Inspectors Still Differ
on Peabody Votes.

The Mutual Lfes board of inspectors up to
last night had reached no final decision the
question of the admission of the ttleless So
called Peabody trick ballots" Two of the in
spectors It is said. uphold the contention OF
the administration that the board has right
take testimony as TO the methods employed
in obtaining the ballots, three of the inspectors
however being disposed to share the interna-
tonal committees view. that the board has
such rights.
1t is considered probable that the board will
decide to count the Peabody ballots, but by
themselves permitting the courts to thrash out
the question of their validity. Pro-adminstra
ton interests estimate that there are at least
100000 of these Peabody ballots enough says
the international committee to swing the cleo
tion overwhelmingly to it's side. Therefore, it
is expected that the courts will decide the ques
tion of the validity of these ballots, and thus
probably of the result of the Mutual Life cleo
ton.
The board virtually has decided to admit the
Opposition" ballots addressed TO Richard Olney.
chairman of the International committee. and
which the committee handed in on election day.
1t has decided also that the verihcation OF sig
natures on the ballots or envelopes is outside the
scope of the board. This decision involves the
whole question of forged ballots. the interna-
tonal committee having alleged that the names
hundreds of administration ballots had been
forged. Should actual proof be subpltted of
forgery of individual challenged ballots, It is
understood. however, that the board will ac-
cept it.
The board. it is believed. has decided also that
non compliance with the law as to the indorse-
ments the envelopes will invalidate ballots,
II the ballots themselves are made out
properly. Superintendent Kelsey, 1t is said.
takes q contrary view of this question.
1t is expected that the actual counting of the
Mutual Life votes will begin to-day.
Tomorrow the New York Life inspectors will
hear arguments on the validity of the ballots
cast in that election.
Argument on George ". Perkns's motion to
inspect the minutes of the grand jury that in
dicted him for forgery is set down for to-day
before Justice Fitzgerald in the criminal branch
of the Supreme Court.
