SUBJECT OF DEBATE
School Board Members Di-
vided Upon Question of
Compulsory Salutation.
MOYLE IS AGAINST IT
Matter to Be Finally Passed
Upon at Meeting on
December d.

Whether loyalty TO the American flag
shall be compulsory or optional with
the pupils in the public schools of Salt
Lake City will be decided by the board
of education at meeting TO be held
SATURDAY. afternoon. December 81. That
warm fight will develop over the
question is certain. Preliminary skir-
mishing among the board members at
last night s regular meeting awoke
some decided expressions of opinion
and were the occasion for no little
jousting at arms.
Oscar W. Moyle, a member from the
Third ward, brought the matter be'
fore the board last night on mo-
tion that the board meet as COM
mittec of the whole to decide once
aud for all whether patriotism and 10y
atty shall be compulsory.
Mr.. Moyle declared himself as
strongly against compulsory salutatlon
of the flag, declaiming warmly that
the very word compulsory in itself
defeated the virtue Of the act. He de-
clared that such children az are so mis-
informed as TO speak or act disrespect-
fully OF the American fog or the govern
meut it stands for, far from being ex-

Superintendent Is Heard.

ID. II. Christensen, superintendent OF
the public schools, who is seeking to
have the state constitution amended
to make the teaching of patriotism
compulsory, explained bis stand in the
recent flag-salutiug episode He said
that not only was the refusal of the
little Eyler girls TO salute the flag an
and open rebellion against
the school regulations. but, in his opin..
ION, it was an act OF disloyalty and
disrespect TO the very fountain from
which springs the school system,
4 vigorous debate ensued for quar-
ter of an hour and was finally tcrml-
mated bv Mr.. Gaugue. who seconded
Mr.. Moyle's s motion. that tho matter
be referred to the committee Of the
whole. Mr.. Giauque declared that he
had decided views on the subJct, but
that he did not care to express them
until tho proper time.
Little regular business was transact.
cd at the meeting last night. Tho board
decided to allow the promoters OF the
Red Gross stamp campaign TO invade
the schools and talk TO the children
on the purpose of the stamp and where
il could be purchased.
The report Of the committee on teach
crs and school work recommending
certain leaves Of absence, appointments
and releases and routine purchases,
was approved.

Makes Demand on City.

Formal demand on the city auditor by
e. R. Nigus, county auditor, for S25l7.9O
as the citys share OF the expense this
year, was made in writing yesterday,
Monday the formal demand OF the city
attorney upon the county treasurer for
the return OF the amount withheld from
The tax receipts last year was made.
With these two opposing demands now
on record there remains nothing except
recourse to the courts.
''If this years bill IS not paid II win
be with held from the taxes again." an
nounced Mr., Visus yesterday.
Until the city commission assumed the
regns OF city government the annua!
bill from the county auditor covering the
expense was allowed without dispute by
the city council When the 1911 bill was
submitted to the new administration the
city auditor promptly declined to issue
warrants covering Il, declaring that the
law under which the joint division OF
expenses was provided was unconst!tu-
tional. Consequently the amount was
withheld by the county.

Mathouihah Thomas took uncompro~

cared that if the board is not to draw
the line on such matters then chaotic
condition would arise III the schools
and constituted authority would come
into disrepute. The very school sys'

said that if the question was to be
