with great care and the following conclu-
sions are reached:
THAT the questions at issue are ques-
tons Of administrative policy and not
of statutory or constitutional law.
Opposes Religious Garb.
THAT as a matter of wise and far
seeing administrative policy the wearing
of distinctive religious garb by teach
ers in government schools for the In
dams should not be permitted; that the
extension of the practice should be def
nitely prohibited, and that the only real
question open to discussion is the treat
ment which should be accorded to the
teachers who are now in the government
service and who have been officially given
a civil service status.
THAT any rule which is now adopted
with regard to these teachers must recog-
niZe the fact that the government not
only permitted but originally encouraged
the churches and various religious ana
charitable organizations to establish
schools among the Indians, that many
of these schools have been taken over
by the government under an arrange
ment. express or implied. by which the
teaching force was covered into the plrb-
lie service without discrimination as to
religious beliefs and without discrimna-
ton as to whether the teachers did or
did not wear a distinctive garb indica-
tive of such beliefs, and that as result
a number of teachers are now. and some
of them for many years have been, mem
bers in Catholic orders whose vows are
for life and which require the wearing
Of a garb distinctive of such membership.
Mistakes of the Past.
THAT both Congress and the depart
ment have heretofore adopted the policy
of proceeding by definite but gradual
steps to terminate the practice of recog-
nizins sectarian religious organZa tons
as governmental agencies in the educa-
ton of the Indians, but that while APP
plying this policy to the gradual and now
complete elimination of the contract
schools the Indian office has mistakenly
continued to take over unnecessary ms
sion schools, and not only to take
into the classified service additional
teachers wearing distinctive garb. but
to permit these teachers to carry on the
schools in a manner almost as distinctly
sectarian as before they were taken over
by the government.
THAT It Is this mistake about the eN-
istence of which we agree) which should
now be corrected, not by abruptly dis
missing from the service those whom we
have taken into it and. given the pro-
lection of the civil service law, but by
ceasing to introduce into the service the
teachers of any sectarian religious
schools; by filling all new positions and
all vacancies in the teaching force from
the eligible registers of the civil service
commission; and by requiring all teach
ers. whether now in the service or here
after admitted, whether wearing a reli-
gious garb or not wearing such a garb
whether Protestant or Catholic, to re-
frain from all sectarian instruction or the
use of their positions for sectarian ends.

CARB OF RELIGION

Order Issued by President
Taft Settling the Long,
Pending Controversy.
SUSTAINS THE ACTION
OF SECRETARY FISHER
Distinctive Clothes May Be Worn by
Those in Service.
BARRED TO FUTURE TEACHERS
Question Held to Be One of Ad-
ministrative Policy and
Not a Constitutional
Matter.

Secretary Fishers action last January
in revoking the order of former Indian
Commissioner Valentine barring relig-
ious garb or insignia from government
Indian schools has been upheld by Presi-
dent Taft, in an order just made public.
The decision of the President is that
teachers now employed in Indian schools
max continue to wear the garb of their
religious orders. but the privilege is de-
MED to any persons hereafter entering
the service. This ruling, the President
says, will enable the government to full
fill its obligations to the teachers who
were taken into the government service
when religious schools were taken over
bodily as government institutions
The Presidents ruling is the final step
in controversy that has engaged the
Interior Department with religious bodies
more than a year. Commissioner VAL
entine's 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 1t, lay stress on the
fact that Commissioner Valentine issued
his ruling without consulting the Sec
rotary or the President, and while the
entire subject was under investigation
Mr. Fishers revocation of the order now
Is made final.

No Order Necessary.

ION the other hand, he finds that while
the wearing of the religious garb is not
violation of the constitutional limitations
referred to- regulation forbidding the
weaving Of such garb by teachers to be
hereafter appointed would be equitable.
reasonable and within the authority of
the Secretary of the Interior to prescribe.
This conclusion he establishes by refer
ence to two well considered cases, one by
the supreme court of Pennsylvania and
the other by the court of appeals of New
York. In the exercise of his lawful dis
erection as Secretary of the Interior,
therefore, and in order more certainly to
secure purely nOn-sectarian teaching In
the schools. the evident object and aim of
congressional legislation on the subject.
he believes it wiser that hereafter no
such transfers in solido of school plant
and teachers of any denomination to the
government school should be made. and
that no set of teachers wearing distinc-
tive religious garb should be by order in
the future incorporated into the govern
ment civil service of teachers His Opin-
ion is that while it is neither unlawful
nor impossible for teachers in distinctly
religious garb to do non-sectarian teach
ing, it makes as between denominations
interested that only secular teaching be
given, for more apparent equality Of
treatment not to increase or to add to
those now in the service who wear a re-
hgious and UNCONVENTIONAL garb. Those
representing the denomination of the
teachers having religious garbs disclainl
any intention of submitting any more
such teachers for examination as eligibles
under the civil service rules No order or
rule, therefore, seems necessary to carry
this purpose of the Secretary into effect.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1912-09-23

it evidently became the policy of the gov
eminent itself to assume the burden OF
the education of the Indians and to d.
rect what 1t should consist in, and it is
evident from acts of Congress That II
was and is the settled intention of Con-
greSS that the general education of the
Indians shall be secular and non-sectarian
and that. their religious instruction shall
be separate and left to the volition of the
Indians and to the care of the denomlna-
tons to whose communion they belong.
But in this transition state, in which
the Indian youth are being transferred
from Sectarian to government instruction.
the ultimate purpose has not always been
strictly held in view, and it has been
frequent method to transfer a whole
school, previously under Protestant or
Catholic denomination, to government
control. and to include IN the transfer all
the teachers who had been engaged in
this work in the sectarian schools and to
incorporate them as whole and as in
dividuals in the classified civil service
OF the government. The transfers thus
have often been effected by the govern
ments renting denominatonal schools
and taking over the whole plant and the
teachers as we'll. 1t appears that out of
1900 teachers in the Indian schools there
are 81 who wear a religious garb and
who are regularly classified members OF
the government civil service. To direct
them to give up their religious garb
would necessarily cause their leaving the
service because of the vows under which
they have assumed that garb.
Purpose of Congress.
"The Secretary of the Interior holds. as
a matter of congressional policy, that all
orders hereafter made should be directed
toward securing the secular and non-sec-
tartan character of teaching; that this is
the evident purpose of Congress from its
legislation. He holds, further. that the
wearing Of distinctive religious garb is
not, as claimed by some before him,
violation Of any constitutional limitation
in respect to religion; that it does not vio-
late the freedom Of religion; that it does
not constitute an established religion,
and it does not prevent or i'm
pair the separation of church and
state. He sustains this view by
reference to the authority of we'll
considered case decided by the supreme
court of Pennsylvania. He therefore finds
that to allow the present members of the
civil service who wear a distinctive garb
to remain in the service until such time
as their service may end, either by res
ignation, separation for cause, disability
or by DEATH is not forbidden by existing
law or statue, and that while the method
Of transfer was a mistaken one, the cir
cumstances surrounding them constitute
an equity in favor of those who are now
in the service and are wearing the garb
which should prevent their being ex-
Guided from the service by such an inhi-
bition.

HOl DING OF THE TREASURY
Officials Undetermined Whether
Complete Parts, Knocked Down,
May Be Imported Free.

The Treasury Department. according to
present indications, will hold that the
new law admitting to the United States
free of duty all materials for the con-
struction, repair and equipment of YES
sells is applicable only to crafts of five
tons or more. To be entitled to free en-
try this will mean that the articles must
be intended for a vessel large enough to
be documented licensed or registered by
the government.
A literal construction of the word ives
SELL under the revised statutes, would
embrace all crafts. whatever their size
The customs court has held. however,
that a racingn she'll Is not vessel, and
following that reasoning the department
is expected to decide that anything less
than five tons likewise is not a vessel
Articles Must Be Traced.
In all probability, iron ore and pig iron
to be nodded into materials for vessels
will be held by the department to be en-
titled to free entry This will burden the
government with the duty of tracing
these articles into consumption to be as
sured that they are used on ships if free
entry is claimed.
AS china, glassware and similar articles
for ships are entitled to free entry be-
cause they are part of vessels equip
ment, Treasury officials are batfied to de-
termine whether such materials, il they
are broken, can be replaced again and
again by foreign importatlonS without
the payment of duty.
1t has been tentatively decided that only
the first equipment of a vessel with these
articles can be brought in free.

secretary's Action Approved.

Tho action of the Secretary OF the In
terror is to maintain the status quo by
refusing to revive the order which was
revoked. and by retaining in the service
those now engaged in teaching. although
wearing a distinctive religious >garb, but
to declare his intention strictly to pur-
sue the policy hereafter of maintaining
only non-sectarian teaching by govern
ment teachers in government schools,
and. on the other hand: to leave to the
various denominations interested full OPP
portunity. out of regular school hours in
the rooms of such government schools,
to conduct religious education according
to the customs and the tenets of each de-
nomination for the children who them
selves or through their parents have
elected to become members of such de-
nomination. This solution, 1t seems to
me, is very equitable as to existing con-
ditions, is quite in accordance with the
purpose Of the Interior Department to do
equity and at the same time to carry out
the congressional intent :.
THE action of the Secretary of the IN
terror is. therefore. approved.

ARE THROWN FROM BEDS
Bomb ImperiIs Tenants of
Five-Story Tenement
in New York.

NEW YORK, September 23.-Most Of
the 1900 tenants of 1.-The Barracks" a
huge five-story tenement on Elizabeth
street, owned by the Astor estate,
were thrown from their beds before
daybreak today when a powerful bomb
was exploded in the doorway of an
Italian department store on the ground
floor. The explosion made a greater
noise than any ever before set off in
Elizabeth street, where almost every
shop has been blown open by a bomb
within the past two years.
Shock Felt Three Blocks Away.
The police at headquarters. three
blocks away, felt the conclusion and
the desk men were nearly shaken from
their chairs. They at once sent all
available reserves to the spot, where
the street was blocked with a crowd
of terrified people.
Every window in the Barracks had
been shattered. The front of the de-
partment store had been blown in and
the stock inside thrown into a heap of
torn or broken merchandise. Guilo
Rositi, the owner, arrived a few min
utes after the explosion. He said that
he had received no threatening letters
or other warning and he could not be-
lieve that the bomb was meant for him.
