NO RELIGIOUS GARB
IN INDIAN SCHOOLS
President Taft UphoIds the
Order Barring Distinctive
Dress for Teachers.
APPLIES TO FUTURE ONLY
Those Wearing 1t May Continue
to Do So, but None Who
Enter the Service
Hereafter.

Washington. Sept. @. -Secretary t1sh-
ers action last January in revoklng tho
order ~ former Indian Commissioner
Valentine barring religious garb or in
sigma from government Indian schools
was upheld by President Taft In an
order made public to-day.
The decision of the President j. that
teachers nov employed in Indian schools
may continue to wear the garb Of their
religious orders. but the privilege is de-
MED TO any persons hereafter entering
the service. This ruling will enable the
government to fulfill It's obligations, the
President says, TO the teachers VINO were
taken into the government service when
religious schools were taken over bodily
as government institutions
President Tafts ruling is the final step
in controversy that has engaged the
Interior Department with religious bodies
more than a year. Commissioner Nalen-
tines order would have prohibited any
teachers from wearing religious garb IN
the Indian schools after the end Of the
last school year.
President Taft's order and letter from
Secretary Fisher to Mr. Valentine which
accompanies II lay stress OF the fact
that Commissioner Valentine issued his
ruling without consulting the Secretary
or the President and while the entire
subject was under investigation. Nj.
Fishers revocation Of the order now Is
made final.
