the McKenna bill. which is not so
contentious as its presumably ere
mated predecessor. Its two main prin
ciples are that there be complete pub
lie control of elementary schools by
locally elected bodies, and no denom-
national tests in the appointment of
teachers The public elementary
schools would be rate supported on Il
species of local option. The voluntary
denominational school would only be
thus provided for in exceptional
cases. Bible teaching in the clemen-
tary schools must be provided. which

may be maintained after school hours

by teachers paid for ont of denomina-

may be depended upon to fight the is
sue with determination. but the au-
thor of the bill sees Il most powerful
impetus given to the movement to Sc
cure the total abolition of religious
instruction in the schools through
failure to pass the ministerial pro-
posals. Peculiarly. the Jews of Eng

public schools. and this disposition on
