PASTORS AND THE INDIAN
SCHOOLS
SCHOOLS.

In their resolutions adopted at a
recent meeting in that city, the pas
tors Of Washington have sounded
very significant note of warning to
the Protestant churches of the coun-
try. They met to discuss the action
of President Taft in revokjng the or
der of Commissioner Valentine of
the Indian Bureau in regard to the
religious garb Of the Sisters in the
Indian schools and the use of Cath
Ollie emblems and the prevalence of
Catholic teaching in these govern
ment-supOrted institutions. These
resolutions are reproduced below:
I'VE earnestly protest against the
recent revocation by President Taft
of the order of Commissioner Valen-
tine, whereby the priests and nuns
employed in teaching in the Indian
pubic schools were forbidden to
wear any distinctive religious garb
or insignia while on duty in the pub
lie school rooms. The action of
Commissioner Valentine was the cor
rectlon Of a long-standing abuse,
against which protests had been
earnest and indignant, and was wise,
patriotic and constitutional. The &C
ton of the President is a profound
disappointment to the great majority
of the Christian citizenship of the
Republic. 1t is Un-American and a
complete surrender of the essential
principle Of our national life, which
Ordains the separation of the church
and state. Associated with the fact
that the United States Congress an
nually gives large appropriations of
money and often patents in fee for
mission lands to the Roman Catholic
bureau of missions, the President
adds the immense influence of his
name and office to the work of con-
verting the Indians to Roman Cath
olicism."
These resolutions have been trans
mitted to the President, the Secre-
tary Of the Interior Ito whom Mr..
Taft's letter Of revocation was ad-
dressed), Commissioner Valentine
and the committee on judiciary of
the House Of Representatives
Meanwhile, up to May no decision
had been reached by Secretary
Fisher, and the whole question is
allowed, by the Presidents expressed
desire, to remain in suspense. A
hearing was given by the Secretary
on April s, at which printed brief
by Charles J. Bonaparte, counsel for
the Bureau of Cath Ollie Indian Mis-
sions, defending the Catholic usage
in the schools, was submitted. A re-
ply brief by the Protestant Home
Missions Council has been prepared,
in which it is clearly shown that the
usage involves a violation of an es-
sential principle in our national life

I'LL fair New England, within a
t. stones throw of a great Uni
versity, founded for the purpose of
making fair-minded Americans,
there is a PUBLIC school conducted
and controlled by Roman Catholics,
in which majority of the instruc-
tors are nuns, teaching in their re-
igious garb, living in seclusion, Civ
ing their wages to the church, and
denied the blessed privilege of read
ing what they will and of going
where they list
The Conctitution of the United
States contains the very definite pro-
vision that Congress shall make no
law pertaining to religion nor the
free exercise thereof. Most of the
States Of the Union have Constitu-
lions containing provisions of similar
import. SO clearly was seen the
necessity of keeping apart the atrafrs
of church and state in the Old
World that the New World took this
precaution at the outset.
Prior to 1894 New York State had
no constitutional provision bearing
upon this question, and because of
the fact that in various towns and
cities of the State the Roman Catho-
lie Church was obtaining money for
their parochial schools from the pub
lie funds, the constitutional conven-
ton of that year passed an amend
ment to the Constitution of New
York, which read:
mo public money shall ever be
20 ~ ,,
In the election following, the
amendment carried by popular vote
by majority of 10000, and is now
part of the organic law Of New York
State. Another convention will be
held in New York in 1914, and it is
important more than ever, that this
question be kept in mind by all
Americans, without respect to race
or creed, who regard the welfare of
the State and the country above that
of any sectarian institution, not
alone in New York, but in every
State in the Union.
The situation in Connecticut with
respect to ecclesiasticism in public
affairs is this: In New Haven, Ham
ilton school, between Hamilton and
Wallace avenues near Grand avenue,
there are ten Roman Catholic nuns
employed by the public school board
of the city as PUBLIC SCHOOL
teachers. They teach in their Ro-
man Catholic garb. Their names
and salaries are as follows:

These teachers are not permitted
to buy books for themselves or to use
the money they draw from the public
treasury. The priest of the parish
does that for them. The school
building itself was built some years
ago as a Darochial school The
priest who built it either could
not or did not succeed in supporting
it from funds extracted from the
Roman Catholics of the parish. He
did succeed, however, in making a
bargain through political power with
the public school board, by which
the board declared this building
PUBLIC school and agreed to pay the
Roman Catholic Church rental for it,
and keep it in repair; and further
the important provision was made
that the nuns who were teaching in
the parochial school at the time
should become PUBLIC school teach

Honors Bestowed on Father Pinton by
Pope

Q Father G. j. Pinton, vicar general
OF the diocese of Sault ST. Marie has
been further honored by Pope Plus
with an appointment as domestic pre-
late, with the title of ''monsignor. I"
The appointment makes Father Pinton
in effect, prelate of the Pope's perso-
nal household, and it is the highest
honor that can be bestowed on a cler-
gyman of the diocese except the bish-
oriptic. AS vicar general Father Pin
ton was already the principle adviser
of Bishop Els and his official represen-
tative on all occasions when the bishop
is absent from the dioaese.
The honoring of Father Pinton by
the Pope will be gratifying to the
clergy of the diocese, rs well as of lay
men in the church. 1t will also be
pleasing to non-C Catholics in the diocese
as Father Pinton is highly esteemed by
his acquaintaces Of all religious faiths.
The honor is well deserved as the
church has no more devoted or effective
laborer in the diocese of Sault st. Mar
lie and Marquette than Father Pinton.
Monsignor Pinton had charge OF
Sacred Heart Church here few years
being called to Marquette in 1899 and
during his short period here made 9
number of friends who have the kind
liest feeling for him and felicitate him
on his elevation by Pope Plus.

plans and specifications of Engineer
Herman w. Fesing for a new water
dam. Bids are being asked and it is
expected the contract will be let on
Monday.

structed over twenty years ago of tim
Der has needed large amount of re-
pairs during the past few years. and as
the location for dam was not suitable
the Sterk farm was recently purchased
and the new aperture for the village
water will be located there.
