 Joy Elmer Morgan, editor of the National Education Association Journal, said in Washington that "children shouldn't be punished be- cause of the confusion of their eide ers."
 Judge Maris did not order rein- statement of the Gobitis children, but held that their beliefs relieved them of the duty of saluting the flag unless the school board could prove l that their refusal was detrimental 1 to public welfare. He asked the board to file an answer pending a further hearing. 'To permit public officers to determine whether the views of individuals sincerely held and their acts sincerely undertaken on religious grounds are in fact based on convictions religious in character would be to sound the death knell of religious liberty" his opinion held, ito such a pernicious and alien doctrine this court cannot subscribe"

RULING IN FLAG SALUTE ISSUED
Federal Court of Phil. Is For Children Who Refuse
 SaIutatiOn

Philadelphia, Dec. D. UP)-A federal court had ruled today that children cannot be expelled from public schools for refusing to salute the flag if it is forbidden by their religious principles.
 The ruling, first legal victory in the fight of Jehovah's Witnesses, a religious sect, for religious free- dom," was handed down by Federal Judge Albert B. Maris in the case of Lillian and William Gobitis, who were expelled from the Minersville, Pa, public schools two years ago. Scores of other children of the de- nomination have beeh dismissed from schools in Pennsylvania, Mas sachusetts and other states for re- fusing to pledge allegiance to the flag on the ground that such tribute could be given only to God.
 Liberty of conscience means lib- erty for each individual to decide for himself what to him is religious, ' Judge Maris said in his decision If an individual sincerely bases his acts or refusals to act on reli- gious grounds, they must be accept ed as such and may only be inter- fered with if it becomes necessary to do so in connection with the eX- ercise of the police power, that is, if it appears that the public safety, health or morals or property or per- sonal rights will be prejudiced by them"
 In Boston, State Educational Commissioner James G. Reardon disagreed with Judge Maris' deci- sion. T hold with the recent ruling of the Massachusetts supreme court that flag salutes and pledges do not

Libby Edges
Out Troy: 1910

Playing in a drizzle that lasted
throughout the game Saturday, the
Libby Terriers outscored the Troy
TroIans on their home field with
1910 victory.
Libby's first touchdown came in
the first period after Larson had
intercepted Trojan pass and ran
it back deep in Trojan territory.
From there series of plays re-
suited in touchdown with Fowler
doing the scoring.
The second half opened with the
Trojans on the offense. They were
stopped deep in Libby's territory,
and Libby began to click. A series
of first downs and Libby was in
scoring territory. This time Wood
ruff scampered across.
The game ended with the Trojans
throwing passes all over the field
but failing to complete any.
The Trojan's outstanding player
was Burris, who did the most of
the Trojan ball carrying. Klehm
and Stickney were outstanding in
the Libby forward wall.

The ideal girl is one whom every
one likes. do not mean that she
is a fllrt, because the girl who flirts
with every boy is seldom liked by
any. She does not need to be beau
tlful, but she must be respectable.
A boy likes girl he can respect.
1t is an absolute necessity to have
a sincere smile and use it. TIL ideal
girl has the boys chase her, she does
not chase the boys. The boys like
the spirit of fight, but by that
mean they like to chase their girls.
not to have the girls chase them.
This girl does not hang on her boy
friend, but is mannerly. She does
not neck with every boy she goes
out with because that cheapens
girl, in the eyes of boy. She knows
how to wear her makeup to her
advantage. She is not boy crazy.
She has girl friends as well as boy
friends. She never laughs at the
boy friends mistakes. If her mother
tells her to be home at certain
time, she does not cry about it and
tell how mean her folks are to
her; she obeys. She never talks
about her family troubles. Never
does she snub one boy for another.
