MANY Church-SchooI Disputes
BEING Considered Over Nation

Commissioner Of Education, said
the State Education Department
and the school district board
Iagreed crucifixes and holy pictures
were displayed on the walls of two
public school rooms operated in
the school building owned by st.
Joseph's Catholic Church in Pierz.
It also was agreed. he said, that
religious instruction in the Roman
Catholic faith was given daily to
Pierz public pupils whose parents
requested it. This instruction was
given in the public school rooms.
State Senator Gordon Rosen-
meier, representing the PierZ-
Buckman School Board, insisted
the local board had acted inno-
Gently in the entire matter.
Par0chial School Voted.
In Wisconsin. taxpayers of the
Lima Consolidated School District
voted at their annual meeting to
discontinue operating their ele-
mentary school as public insti-
tuition and to continue it as
Roman Catholic parochial school
instead.
The taxpayers action followed
la decision by the State Board Of
Education to deny future grants
to the Lima district on grounds It's
|eight-room, 200-pupil school had
become "too closely identified"
with the Catholic Church to quail
ify for public funds.
A request that State officials
shut off tax support from it and
Is other schools in predominantly
Catholic areas in Wisconsin was
submitted in February by the Pro-
testant Bill Of Rights Committee,
an organization formed by a group
OF Milwaukee Lutherans.
Use of Buses Is Issue.
One angle of the famous Dixon
school case in New Mexico was
reopened when District Judge c.
Roy Anderson heard arguments
that the Rio Arriba County School
Board violated a court order pro-
the transportation of
parochial school pupils in public
school buses.
He reserved Judgment until de.
Gliding whether a motion to have
the board held in contempt con-
tains sufficient facts to give him
jurisdiction.
The Dixon case, instituted by
Protestant residents of Dixon and
other New Mexico communities.
was aimed at banning Catholic
influences from the public schools.
In Iowa the attorney general
upheld the action Of the Salix,
Iowa, school board in refusing to
permit parochial school children
to ride a public school bus to
Sioux City for free Red Cross
swimming instruction.

A short time ago you gave space to q
letter from Not Teacher" under the
caption Professional Vocabulary"
The letter referred to the recent shifting
or dropping of teachers in the public
schools.
The writer of that letter took excep-
ton to the expression fired" which Is so
commonly used in newspaper articles
and by radio news commentators when
a person is separated from a position.
or job, or employment of any kind. re-
gardless of the cause Of such action. To
me the word fired" instinctively carries
the inference of separation for cause,
i.e., wrongdoing. dereliction of duty, etc.
It is apparent, of course, that when
person is released or separated from his
employment through no fault Of his
own. but by reason of necessity such as
lack of appropriated funds, or change Of
methods due to installation of labor
saving devices. no stigma can possibly
attach to the employees who can no long
er be retained, and it would appear to be
only fair to those involved to avoid any
expressions which might have ten
dency to convey such meaning.
Why could we not say released" or
"separated?" Even discharged" dis
missed" or removed" would be prefer
able to fired"

A queer aspect Of today is that 50
many persons seem to be resolved not
to attract any attention in public.
Just as long as they can come and go
without soul noticing them. they seem
to be happy and satisfied.
What are they afraid Of?
Undoubtedly this state Of mind arises
from conformity to the great unwritten
law that all must be alike.
It is an unconscious attempt to get in
the modern swim Of ideas. and to that
extent is giving In to Communism, which
makes the theoretical demand that ar

A Mr.. Carter Of Arlington frequently

to discourage commercial and residen-

temptS to convince any readers he may
have that the County is in q deplorable
condition, with future jeopardized by

Most of the gentleman's personal opin-

diatribes are too absurd to answer, based
as they are on a consistently obstinate
disregard of the well-planned progress
sive improvements Arlington has en-
joyed during the past several years.
However, when Mr.. Carter begins to
expound on the financial status of the
county, giving out with incorrect statis-
tics, 1t is time to get the facts on record.
The carelessly- -tossed-out figure of $28

Before the conventions were held. I

Then came something new in the his

No Rhyme or Reason

The sages who write the generals speeches
succeeded to some extent in taking the edge OF
his rivals jokes just when it appeared possible
that the Governor might wisecrack his way into
the White House.
Now the ghost writer's have another pressing
problem. They must continue to have their man
play it straight, or else top the Democratic
presidential candidate at hmericks.
Governor Stevenson, who may know million
of them, took General Eisenhower for an after
dinner ride in Missouri with an old limerick in
tended to taunt the Republican stapdard-bearer
for his alliance with Senator Taft. Quoth the
Governor:
There ,oas a young lady from Niger,
Who smiled as she rode on tiger.
They came back from the ride
With the lady inside
And the smile on the face of the tiger.
Now nearly everybody knows that Senator
Taft is something less than tigerish. So the
Republican strategists may choose to ignore the
Governors latest sally. If that doesn't work,
they can fall back on Horace for the retort
supreme:
IT'S not sufficient to combine

To some they may seem "stuffy." but
not to US who were brought UP on
Dickens.
Even if we read him no longer, per-

The stories he told were good tales in

words, perhaps, but in a day that has
produced Thomas Wolfe, that is nothing
to worry about.

read recently in The Star that a
group Of bronze nude females is to be
placed in nearby Virginia's National
Memorial Park.
It is grievous to me, as am sure it
must be to many other Christians, to
see the increasing number of idols OF
stone, brass and bronze appearing in
public places in what we like to think
of as a Christian country. God says in
the Ten Commandments Thou shalt
not make unto thyself any craven i'm
age of anything that is in Heaven above,
on the earth below, or in the waters
beneath" Yet we see craven images of
beasts. birds, men. angels and now
God forbid-muSt we see the continued
breaking of His Commandment by add
ing a group of nude females?
The old serpent still slithers around
among us and instead of one Eve, he
manages whole group Of them! Can't
you just hear him laughing up his
sleeve? can.
