The country church, was urged to
take the lead in promoting rural edu-
cation without making it sectarian by
Prof. c. C. Haun of Vanderbilt Uni
of the University Of Alabama. A spe-

providing for religious instruction in the
public schools, or for public school
credit for instruction given by churches,

Favors Constitutional. Amendment.
THE trainers of our Constitution"
he said, were not trying to rid the
been able to foresee this age of non-re-
ligion fostered in our schools, I feel sure
they would have added some safeguards
in that first amendment. Possibly 1t is
not too late for us to add another
amendment. If, as some Of our prophets
are saying, the future Of America hinges
on its ability to stem the tide Of ma
terialism and non-religion, then I think
we should set ourselves to the task Of
adding an amendment.
The trainers were only trying to get

ton. Due to the prevailing interpreta-
ton we have developed q certain SEN
sitiveness in regard to the separation
of church and state-created institutions
which is continually setting up bar

no need to be united in order to have

Two Clash on Open Shop.
There was a clash yesterday between
John E. Edgerton, president of the
National Association of Manufacturers,
and Victor A. Olander of the American
Federation of Labor Presenting con-
that they were inspired by the spirit of
Americanism and Christianity.
THE open shop" said Edgerton, ais
the only policy that can bring lasting
industrial prosperity. He warned against
Communism moving about under many
aliases" He claimed that Southern
workers always will resent the intru-

Olander declared that when the true
meaning Of the term "open shop" is
known the term becomes detestable and
said that the War Labor Board, of
which he was a member. and which
was headed by the late Chief Justice
Taft, refused unanimously to tolerate
the system.

Defends Legislative Prerogative.
Henry L. Shattuck of the Massachu-
sets House of Representatives eau
toned against weakening the legislative
branch Of governments in the present
trend of Capitalization in the admins
trative department
Reorganization of State governments
such as he said have been wrought In
Virginia and Massachusetts, were praised
by the speaker. He said If the legisla-
tive branch is involved in the admins
trative details it cannot give all the
matters before it the time and study
deserved.
However, he added, there is danger
that in the process of reorganization the
change may be carried too far and the
legislative prerogative injured
Let us see to it," he said, "that
nothing is done to weaken the legisla-
ture as the great forum for the hearing
Of grievances and for the discussion and
formulation Of legislation.
Legislation Is a highly specialized
calling" he said, I'VE need more pro-
fessionals and fewer amateurs"
