Directs Efforts to Unite the American, English and Irish Friends, Through the

American Friend. .Efforts of S. Edgar Nicholson, editor of the American Friend, to bring about a unification or at least a closer relationship between Friends of England, Ireland and America, have been . taken up by a London Friends publication similar to the American Friend, published In Richmond. In this week's issue ot the American Friend, Mr. Nicholson says in part: . "In a recent issue of this paper we Euggested the possibility and even desirability of a closer union of American, English and Irish Friends. We have no doubt that to many, perhaps to a majority, the suggestion at first thought seems visionary and wholly Impracticable. For two centuries and a half we have pursued our separate ways, bound together for the most part only by the ties of an annual correspondence and the consciousness of

a common origin. For centuneB we progress of Christianity was characterised by the provincial spirit. For the most part it operated along community lines or at most along national lines. The church for ages has borne the local stamp, and denominational characteristics. "But the old order changeth. The evolution of missions has brought a new era to the world. The Christion church is facing a new epoch. The whole world is waking under the inspiration of the preaching of a gospel that is for men without distinction of race or nationality. . Men are thinking today In world terms and are speaking In world terminology. Religion knows no confines of national boundary lines. Within a generation the whole earth has become a mighty brotherhood, and

the parable of the Good Samaratan has taken on a world-wide meaning. "Quakerism may be propagated for a while In sections, perhaps indefinitely, but in an age like this, with worldwide opportunities and tasks waiting for the touch of constructive Christian service, it is deplorable that any body of believers should be satisfied with a mere existence."

mond Commercial club, which has been back of the movement to place the study of the Bible in public BChools, on receiving the attorney generals' decision, made investigations to see whether the decision would stand In the courts. The first of the week George H. Knollenberg, chairman of the educational committee of the Commercial club, called a conference of a number of local people to consider the matter. In this conference were Attorneys Rupe, Gardner and White, Pettis Reid, a member of the state board of education; the Rev. Mr. Lightbourn, the Rev. S. R. Lyons and President Robert L. Kelly. It was the unanimous opinion of these men that the plans as pro

posed by the state board was legal and that the decision rendered by the attorney general of the state did not really bear on the legality of the plan. Gives Rupe's Decision. Wednesday evening. Superintendent Greathouse called a meeting of a committee from the state board of education, which was composed of Pettis Reid, of this city, Superintendent Brown, of Lebanon, and Superintendent Study, of Fort Wayne. President Kelly was Invited to attend the committee meeting and presented the written decision of John L. Rupe to the board. This meeting of the committee from the state board was called at the request of a citizens' commit

tee from Indianapolis which was also interested in clearing up the legal status of the question. At the conclusion of this meeting, Superintendent Greathouse prepared a written statement, in which he reviewed the history of the plan and in which he stated that he believes the plan Is legal. He will make this statement public as soon as definite action is taken by the committee from the state board as a whole. " The decision which has practically been reached by every member of the state board and which has the endorsement of the state superintendent, is a distinct victory for President Kelly and the local committee from the Commercial club. According to Attorney Rupe, the answers made by the attorney general are correct as far as they go but they are not answers of the questions proposed by the state superintendent and consequently would not affect the legality of the plan. Declares Plan Legal. The following are the Important passages in the decision rendered by John L. Rupe: "It seems clear that under Sec. 6584 of the Burns Statutes the commissioned high schools of the state have the right to select any other studies than those enumerated In the'section, and the only limitation upon this power I am able to find, is that such selection of any additional study Is made subject to revision by the state board of education. It appears to me equally clear'that under Section 6583 of our Statues that the course of study on all non-commissioned High Schools of the State is under the exclusive control of the State Board of Education, so that I see no legal reason wby the State Board may not prescribe a course of bible study In all non-commissioned high schools and approve of such course In commissioned high schools

SETS NO PENALTY ON NOXIOUS WEEDS Law Allows Farmer to Do as He Pleases Along Highway. In a recent official opinion given by Gilbert H. Hendren, state examiner, it is stated that property owners may or may not cut down noxious weeds, but U they do payment shall be made them on their road tax at the rate of $1.25 a day. Mr. Hendren stated, however, that it is entirely optional.

His opinion follows: "In .response to your inquiry of this day, will say that Section 9807, Burns' R. S., provides that land owners shall cut all briers, thistles, burrs, docks and other noxious weeds growing along highways running along or tnrough their lands, within the period beginning July 1 and ending August 20 of each year. This law was enacted in 1879. The act is broad and it does not seem to have been modified or repealed by subsequent enactments. "Section 2 of the act provides that when the land owner shall have destroyed the weeds in the highway adjacent to his lana, under the direction of the road supervisor of his district,

he shall be entitled to credit on his i road taxes at the rate of $1.25 a day j for the time occupied in doing the) work. j "By Section 3 of the act, if the land !

owner neglects or refuses to do this work the supervisor may secure any resident property owner of the road district to do such work, and give him like credit therefor on his road taxes. "No penalty is provided for failure to do the work by the land owner and the supervisor is not authorized to 'warn out' the land owner to do such work. It seems to be optional with the land owner as to whether he will do the work and get credit therefor. "While the highway superintendent

In Peace Time Prepare For War Holds Gen. Villa

JUAREZ. Mexico, July 16. "In time of peace, prepare for war," said Francisco Villa today, when asked why he was continuing his extensive military preparations despite' the announcement of provisional president Carbajal that he would do his utmost to effect peace in Mexico. "Huerta also did his utmost to effect peace," laughed Villa, adding, "We are getting ready for action in case peace falls to come." Villa refused to say that he expected further fighting before the Constitutionalists entered Mexico City, but his friends intimated that he was not altogether satisfied with the developments since Huerta retired.

is required by Section 7757, Burns R. S., . to keep all side ditches open so that the road will be properly drained, and to keep 'grass' out of the roadbed, he is not authorized to 'warn out,' order or direct the land owner to cut or destroy weeds in the highway. "In my judgment, the purpose of the statute was to enable the land owners to destroy the weeds in the roadways along their farms, and to get credit for the work on their road taxes, but that there is no way to compel the land owner to do the work unless he so desires."

if determined upon by the local board of education. Section 6578 of our school laws provides that "The bible shall not be ex-

I eluded from the public schools of the

state." The bible is therefore recognized by the state as a proper book '" for the schools and while its study is not prescribed expressly in the high school course it is nowhere prohibited, but on the contrary the policy of the state with reference to this greatest of all books is to recognize it as our citizens commonly recognize it and it cannot under the law be excluded. May Allow Credit. The plan submitted to the State Board and which the board has under consideration imposes nothing upon any board or person. It is only as I understand it to become operative in case a local board determines to adopt it, and then no student is under any kind of compulsion to take the course, it being as to the student a wholly voluntary matter. As to allowing credit as the plan proposes, for work done outside the school, I see no legal objection to that. It is a common practice and well understood that all colleges, schools and where as in this case the work is presented by the school authorities, examinations made and ratings given by jthe same authorities, it would be a

strange and strained constitution of

our laws to say that the school authorities were acting outside of legal authority. In my opinion the plan under consideration may be lawfully carried out

as proposed. It seems perfectly fair, its adoption is left to free choice both

as concerns the local school board and the high school student; it is free from offense to any citizen of any religious belief and its adoption by the State Board I doubt not will be commended by all good citizens. Very truly yours, John L. Rupe.
