Rome. April 12 R-Elphege J. Daisnault, director of the Woon- socket, R. l.. publication La Sem tinclle" and his French Canadian Il followers, who were excommunicat- cd by the holy congregation of the council at Rome, must, in the opin- ion of competent Vatican authori- ties, abandon any protes, before the civil authorities or any form Of at tack against Bishop William A. Hickey, of the Providence diocese, before the Holy See can even admit the possibilit yof the controversy be- tween them and the bishop being reopened.
 In any case, Mir Daignaults ap- peal to the Rhode Island courts is destined to fail, Vatican circles be- lieve. because the American courts have invariably taken the position that controversies between church the internal law of those bodies themselves. and that bishops right under the canon law to dispose of diocesan funds cannot be questioned

C0UzENS DENIES HE BECOMES PERSONAL
Insists Drive on Mellon Is Not
 Private Feud

Washington. April II P1Deny- ing in the senate today the charge that his resolution asking the resig- nation of Secretary Mellon was the outgrowth of a personal feud. Sen ator Couzens, republican. of Michi- gan. drew an apology from Senator Moses. republican, of New Hamp- shire. for the language used by the New Hampshire senator in making the charge.
 This is not a feud,' Senator Couzens declared. My resolution was introduced and pressed for ac- tion as a protest against system of government dominated by men of great wealth. will not be in- timidated by the charge of Senator Moses that this is a personal feud and that my statements against the secretary were vicious, malicious and untrue in most instances"
 Senator Moses interrupted the Michigan senator at this point to state that he realized the language he had used in the recent debate on the Mellon resolution was in violation of tho senate rules.
 T offer my regret to the senator from Michigan" he said. and ask so far as the record is concerned that be permitted to have the words withdrawn. have no .nten- tion of impugning the motives of the senator from Michigan. and l recognize the senator's sincerity Of purpose"
 Senator Couzens accepted the statement of Senator Moses and then proceeded to review the his tory of his dispute with Mir. Mellon on tax matters.
 Tho dispute arose. Couzens said. when he wrote Secretary Mellon in 1923 questioning his reasons for the tax reduction program ho had pre- sented to congress. He said that Mellon asked permission 10 make public the correspondence between them.
 Senator Couzens then traced the row between himself and Mellon to the filing Of a suit for additional taxes amounting to s3o.0oo.O00 by the government against the Ford stockholders of which Couzens was one. He also asked the 1reasury to disbar an attorney who. he said. obviously was working in collusion with some internal revenue bureau officials in connection with the suit but that Commissioner Blair had declined 10 act.
 Quoting from letter by Mir | Mellon that "governmcnt by inves- tigation Is not government" Cou- zens said this was a strange doc Urine" In the light of disclosures in tho Teapot Dome oil case and in- rcstigations into campaign funds.
 Meanwhile, the resolution of Couzens asking the resignation of | Secretary Mellon is still on the sen !. ate calendar from which it can be 1 brought up for action only by a ma jority vote.

What u. S. Education Needs

commissioner of education with tht
conviction of three outstanding needs
OF the American public school system
First is comprehensive study Of the
whole subject of financing schools
Methods of supporting public education
vary from community to community
and they are largely the result OF OPP
portunism and expediency. No Scien'
tific study has ever been made OF thu
proper forms OF taxation for school rev.
cnues. There is no guide to which Local
officials can turn Everywhere is chaos
Yet since 1920 the Nations bill fol
education has doubled. The cost runs
close to Ave billions OF dollars-sureiy
an expenditure of wealth which should
not be haphazard.
Second is the need of undermining
the curriculum. Here progress is SLOW
slower than in Europe where there Is
centralized control. Public education
In America Is more local and depends
upon the growth of the local mind
Our curriculum" DR. Tigert says. Ifs
largely out of date" The reorganization
has not &ept pace with the rapid
changes that have developed in recent
decades In the industrial and economic
phases of our society.
The third great need he sees Is that
OF character educatlon. without IN
vading the province Of church OF
home. he would have the school dc
something more than train the mind
of the pupil--to bear in mind that
something more than intelligence Is
essential for the citizen of democracy
But this Is perhaps the most compli-
Gated problem OF all and progress
necessarily will be gradual
Optimistic About Schools.
But as DR. Tigert leaves washing.
ton he Is more optimistic THAN ever
over the future of the American public
school.
His impressions were expressed ir
the closing words OF a recent address
to body OF eminent educators.
1T requires no educational Noah tC
