THE NEW EDUCATIONAL LAW.

A number Of papers i'm the State are
having their fling: ut the educational
bill lassed at the last session Of the
LeGi lature. 1t is Claimed by these
papers that the new lsw is bold at
tempt to deprive the people of each
parish from having voice IN the nam
ing Of the superintendentsf IN the Diff
ferent parishes, and that al power
has been fiiched from the school board
which is elective, and turned over to
the State Board of Education.
School conditions differ greatly in
many OF the parishes of the State,
and to predict exactly how the new
law will affect eacir section, is i'm
possible. But speaking for number
of parishes i'm South Louisiana, we
know that the new educational law,
has already done much to eliminate
politics from the public schools.
Under the new law it is impossible
for any one to qualify for the office of
school superintendent, unless he be a
professional school No SUPER
intendent can receive a certificate
from the State Board of Education,
until - has successfully passed an ex-
animation before the State Examin-
ing Committee composed of five of
the leading educators of the State.
Surely, il we cannot truet men who
are educators, and who do not de-
pend on politics, then the people are
in "bad way.1
The new educational law will not
eliminate politics from the public
schools, neither will it inject more
politics, but it will make it hard for
politicians to control the schools of
the parishby holding the whip over
the superintendent. Under the old
law 1t was a simple thing for the poll
ticians to throw out any superintend-
emf, il it so pleased them, by electing
their supporters as members of the
school board.
We do not believe in creating a
school trust, nor do we favor turning
all of the management of the local
schools to the State Board, but we do
not see where these things have been
done by the new educational biIl.-The
(Assumption) Pioneer.

HITS RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.
Law Against Sale Of Communion
Wine Unconstitutional.

ATLANTA. Ga. August 19-Alleging
that the prohibition law OF Georgia is I'M
constitutional because 1t restricts the
public from worshiping according to the
dictates Of Its conscience, the Christian
Moerlein Brewing Company OF Cincin-
natl has fled a bill in tho United States
court asking that the law be declared null
and void. 1t is alleged that the prohibi-
ton law restricts public worship in that
under the law 1t il q crime to purchase
wine in Georgia for use at the admins
tration OF the holy communion. The fol-
lowing quotation from the state constitu-
ton Is set forth:
"An men have the natural and inaiien-
able right 10 worship God according to
the dictates OF their own conscience, and
no human authority shall in any wise
control or Interfere with such right OF
conscience
The complaint insists that the prohibi-
ton law interferes with the use of wine
in communion services and thus 10 an in
reference with free worship, and thereby
a violation Of the state constitution
There Is no doubt that, strictly con-
strued, the Georgia law forbfds the sale
even OF communion wine. This was
brought out in the debate on the meas
ure when 1t was asked: How will wine
be got for communion without violating
the law?" In reply the advocates Of the
bill said: I'VE will leave that to the inge-
nu1ty OF the church Officers"
