Nuns Vows, Carb
Are Ruled Illegal

ST. JOSEPH. Mo. = (NC) - The
Circuit Court in Missouri has
ruled generally against nuns teach.
ing in public schools.
The ruling was made in the case
of Berkhorn v. Reorganized School
District No. g. The sisters invoIv-
ed taught no religion during the
school week, but confined their
teaching to prescribed secular sub.
jectS. There were no religious EN-
blems or insignia in the schools.
Regardless of these facts, the
court ruled that the vows of the
nuns and their garb disqualified
them as public school teachers.
The Sisters were not defendants
in the case but only the school
board and the school officials.
Prior to the Berghorn case ruI-
ing, school officials in some other
Missouri. areas were notified that
the contracts under which their
nuns have taught in public schools
would not be renewed for the next
school year.
Eleven nuns in Usage County
