Dear Madam: do not see how
you can compare what you call the
cruelty Of menigrries 10 the barbar-
ism Of women who cause the killing
of animals and birds for fashions
sake. Zoos exist for educational
purposes. for the benefit of men as

MUST BE RElNSTATED.

After hearing the evidence Assistant
Commissioner OF Education J. Brognard
T nts decided that the boy could not be

r,instated.

At the school assemblies are not man

sioner said. Therefore, the boy breaks
no law. OF course. the Board Of Edu-
cation OF Cedar Grove has the right 10
pass rules for its schools. But sucn
rules must not infringe upon any ones
rights. The boys citizenship must fol-
low his parents until he Is Of age to
choose for himself.
His father Is a British subjec,-there-
''re his son Is such. 1t Is within the
fathers rights to remain British sub
jec,. and It Is his sons to refuse to
pledge allegiance to any other flag CIR
government but his own.
I'VE can compel the boy to show re-
Opect for our hag-he has always shown
that. II appears-but we cannot compel
him to pledge his allegiance to It, And
on the other hand. we have no right to
refuse him the benefit Of our public
schools. We are, in fact. compelled by
Flaw, to make him attend our schools
until after he is fourteen. The boy is re-
anstated."

He does not refuse to salute the

grasses in other states. our nights are
cool. and We have three natural mar
kets for dairy products.
There is a tremendous awakening
to this fact, l might add, and the dairy

indication Of being doubled next year.
