s~ECTARIANs REBUKED.
Attempt to Compel Attendance at
Devotional Exercises.

Attempt to Compel Attendance at
Devotional Exercises.
A ruling has been made by the Depart
ment of Education of New Jersey that the
attendance OF pupils at religious exercises In
public schools must be entirely Voluntarily.
This ruling is the outcome Of a six months
controversy between Arthur Watts Of River
Edge, n. j.. and the school board of River
side borough.
Mr.. Watts, who has his opinion OF relig-
ious exercises and keeps his own counsel,
sends two daughters TO the River Edge
school. One is Z and the other II years old.
When the board authorized opening exer-
cises consisting Of reading from the Bible
and the repeating OF the Lords Prayer Mr..
Watts obtained permission Of the principal
for his children to remain in the classroom
while the exercises we're going on in the
assembly room.
II Is said that the envy OF the other chill
dreu and the consequent growth of absen-
teeism at prayers caused the practice of the
Watts children 10 be brought to the notice
Of the board. Mr.. Watts then had to face
the alternative of compulsory attendance
at the exercises or the exclusion OF his
children from school.
Mr.. watts urged his case before the board
and the contest dragged on until the close
Of the spring term. Meantime the children
had lost two weeks Of school
During vacation nothing was done. but
when River Edge school opened two weeks
ago Mr.. Watts again entered his children
This time instead OF remaining in the as
sembly room they arranged to arrive ten
minutes late. The board, however, saw
through this strategy and notified Mr..
watts that his children must come on time
or not at all.
Declaring that he would go to law n
necessary, Mr.. Watts took the controversy
before State Superintendent c. j. Baxter
at Trenton. Pend ng the superintendent
decision. MT. Watts's children lost another
week and a half from school. Last week
c. j. Baxter, state superintendent sent
this letter to H.. Morris. secretary OF the
River Edge school board:
After a careful consideration OF the
action Of your board in the exclusion from
school Of the children OF Mr.. Arthur Watt.
because he refused to permit them 10 at,

consisting or the reading OF the Bible anC
repeating Of the Lords Prayer: I am OF tn,
opinion that the action of your board wa
I'm violation OF the constitutional rights o.

KEARNEY MILITARY ACADEMY
A Larger Enrolment Than I'm Any
DrcyfCua Year

A Larger Enrolment Than I'm Any
Previous Year.
The academy opened Wednesday the 18th,
at which time most OF the students were
present. The school opens this year with
a larger percentage OF old boys than at
my other time in the history Of the school.
The new boys were all classified and
work begun the day after the opening,
so that all classes will be running smoothly
this week.
The mechanical drawing room has been
changed from the basement of Kearpey
hall to the first floor of the same building.
This will give a larger floor space and a
much lighter room for the students i'm that
branch. Mr.. McEnchron of MuskeEon,
Mich, has charge OF the manual training
department. succeeding Mr.. Nevison, who
left last year owing to III health.
Miss Josephine Anderson from Illinois,
Is taking the place OF Mrs. Streeter, who
is with her daughter, Mrs. Huntington, in
Chicago.
Just previous to the opening Of the school,

buildings were lighted and ready for in

were present and saw the new fireproof
building, Cochran hall, for the first time.

In~stftuttcn,

AhaNNNMNhGh
The Nebraska Miitafy academy al Lin
coin began its first week Of school last
Monday in most gratifying manner. The
fact that another military school Is needed
and that its opening was not ili-timed is
shown by the large number OF cadets now
students, coming as they do from many
OF the best homes in Nebraska. Iowa. KAN
sas. Colorado and other neighboring states.
Both senior and junior departments are
taking up their work with good spirit. The
manual training department is attracting
many students. the special commercial
courses share the interest Of upper class
men. while the foot ball field is the OBJ
iective point just now for old and young
alike when study hours are over. The
band will be organized next week under
direction of Prof. August Hagenow. The
Glee club will begin work in the near
future.
Each grade from fifth TO twelfth is well
represented. The courses OF study in both
lower and upper schools follow closely
those adopted by Nebraska accredited
schools. More stress Is laid on individual
instruction. however. than is possible in
public schools. making It possible for stu
dents to enter without serious Inconvenience
any time during the year.
Religious services are conducted every
Sunday, consisting OF Sunday school in the
morning and a music service with short adj
dress by a Lincoln pastor in the afternoon.

Iowa College, GrInneII.

On Wednesday, September 1G, occurred the
formal opening OF the slxty-second year
of Iowa college. At the chapel service
President Main welcomed the students, botn
old and new, and then introduced the
speaker of the morning, Rev. Osborn OF
Burlington, la. He spoke in an interesting
and helpful way on the enlargement of
llfe, bringing out especially the three great
principles of wi~ll-power, humanity and re-
llgion.
With but few exceptions, the faculty OF
last year remains intact, and with such
a corps OF teachers, the classroom work
of the year cannot fail TO be successful.
The usual opening receptions have all
taken place. The young women OF the
college became acquainted with each other
at the Young Women's Christian associa-
ton reception, the young men at the
Young Mems Christian association recep-
ton. while both faculty and students met
together for the first time in a social way
in the general reception. under the direc-
ton Of the Young Mems Christian a~ssocia-
ton and the Young Women's Christian
association.
The year l9Os-CS is to be an exceptionally
Interesting one unsteady. The School OF
Music has an excellent recital course
planned; Prof. scheve is to give a series Of
organ r~ecltals, the Orstorio society will
give Handel Messiah" for the holiday
concert, Gr,eg's "olaf Trygvasson'' some
time during March and will be assisted
during the May festival by the Theodore
Thomas orchestra under the direction of
Mr.. Frederick Stock.
In man respects the prospects for a good
foot ball team FOR 1905 are bright. First of
all, the losses from last ears team are few
and TO ill these vacancies there is con-
siderable he ivy material which should de-
vclop as the season progresses. A schedule
Of nine games has been arranged. five of
which are Il be played in Grinnell.

fare of Pupils.
In the July number OF the North Amer
lean Review, William n. Allen, secretary
Of the Bureau Of Municipal Research,
enumerates ten steps for the protection
and physical welfare Of school children,
which constitutes q program that is i'm
mediately practical in all states.
/. A thorough physical examination of
all children of all schools, public paro-
chial and private.
?. Notification of parents and family
physicians as TO children's needs. That
tens of thousands of records OF defects
piled up at health headquarters do not
help children has been conclusively proved
in New York.
3. Follow up notices with visits to in
form and persuade parents to correct de-
fects and to remove their causes.
4. Enforcement of existing laws and Sc
curing proper authority, where this is
now lacking. to compel obstinate parents
to take necessary steps.
8. Periodic REORGANIZATION of school
children during school life.
s. Physical examination Of children
when applying for work certificates.
Z. Use Of information gained regarding
physical effects OF bad living conditions
to secure enforcement of health and tene-
ment laws, restriction of hours of labor.
control of dangerous trades, prevention Of
child labor.
s. School buildings and school c%urricu-
lum should be so constructed and so man
aged that they cannot themselves either
produce or a~ggravate physical defects.
8. The effect of school environment and
school requirements upon the child should
be constantly studied. Teachers should
be examined and re-examined for their
vitality. which exercises an important in
fluence upon that OF the pupil.
10. Hygiene should he so taught that
children will learn their health rights
and how to maintain them.
