BANK IS HELD
TO BE BANKRUPT

Some Of Sage Missouri Creditors Take
Issue with Referee Roberts
n This Matter, However.
The Sage bank at Alexandria, Mo-,
is considered as bankrupt by Referee
w. J. Roberts, although some of the
Missouri creditors are claiming that
the bank should not be so considered.
It was stated that to consider this
bank so, would mean losses to the de-
positors, and that II the bank were
left out it would recover from the
blow.
Referee Roberts holds the opposite
view since the bank is private con-
Germ. He has no jurisdiction in Mis-
souri,, however, and the trustee will
have to apply to the Missouri bank

No Seetarlanlsm In the Public
Schools!

II that detail of the Gary school
system which provides for the with
drawal Of pupils from the schools for
religious instruction Is to be adopted
In New York the practice must be
rigidly sn feguarded to render impos-
sible any suggestion Of proselytism.
The obvious danger to which the plan
Is exposed Is that children nay be
urged In the public schools either to
take religious instruction or to take II
in a particular faith.
Catholics. Gentiles. Jews and non-
believers have for generations sat side
by side in the public schools Of this
city without discord or difficulty.
Parents and priests have attended to
their religious training without con-
filct or contention. The public schools
have devoted themselves TO secular
education. and it has not been re-
corded that they had too little TO do
In attending Ia the function.
The introduction of religious dis
Intes in the public schools would do
n thousand times more harm than the
most beneficpnt results claimed by It's
most ardent advocates for the Gary
~ stem could repair.

Nearing. His word Is accepted at its

Professor Nearing was dismissed mot

mics attacks are based upon assump-
tions and Tot upon facts" These are
the words OF another trustee Of the uni
~verslty, Mr.. Wharton Barker. published
in the Philadelphia papers in defence
OF Professor Nearing.
The truth is that the dis
missal OF Professor Nearing was due TO
his agitation against child labor and his
attack on some OF the inequitable eco-
monte conditions that are the cause OF
Involuntary poverty to his ruthless ex-
posure or special privileges and of mo-
