Nuns in Our Public Schools.

Sister M. Angelina and Sister
Cleta, nuns of teaching order
from St. Theresa's Academy, of
East st. Louise, are among the
persons taking special examina-
tions for teachers certificates
in County Superintendent
Hough's Office in Belleville this
week.
The nuns expect appointments
to teach in public schools of
Clinton County, Ill. This is the
first time Catholic nuns have
sought certificates for service
in the public schools of St. Clair
county.
Supt. Hough said last night
that it was permissible for nuns
to teach in the public schools.
He said a teachers certificate
issued in one county was good
in any other county in Illinois.
The foregoing item was taken
from the July 18th issue of the
st. Louis Globe Democrat.
Superintendent Hough is quoted
as saying that sit is permissible
for nuns to teach in the public
schools" We presume that he
means by the statement that
there is no law at the present
time to prevent them from
teaching in the public schools,
as bad as such a law is needed.
However, the will of the people
is law, if the people are awake,
and where nuns qualify for
teaching positions in public
schools, encouraged by either
outright papist OR cowardly
Protestant superint endents, it
behooves the people to get busy
with the school boards and pre-
vent their employment.
If Protestant communities
stand for Roman Catholic teach
ers in the public schools, they
should take their medicine with
out protest when they wake up
within a few years and find
their boasted free institutions
in ruins.
"Make America Dominantly
Catholic" is the war-cry of the
papacy, and it can be done no
quicker nor more effectively
than by getting control of the
public schools, and that's just
what they are going to do if you
sleepy y-heads don't wake up and
that pretty soon.

While no date has been set

high officers of the defacto
government military forces
have left the border within
