Th refusal ft the School Board brings kte.n disap-oi.V-rr.fr.t to the C 3 churches which were supporting th program of reUriou education for 11:5ft school rtudmt.s. They that the decU ion ia ur.Jur. ur. lon.ocratic and without sufficient reason. "Th proposal which the council mado to the board covered tho followin? points: Th dismissal of thos pupils v.-ho voluntarily elect to tCKe liibie instruction during a study I-'Tloi twice a '.vck to 50 to some r-jrby cia.'a room for such istructl n; the ttudy of a non-F'.-ctarian fijr.-e approved and promou-d by tha Htvo Board of Education, and for which th state board has granted for many year1 certain credit; that the work would be conducted Upon a h'.ph educational plane; that the privilege extended to pupils cf any faith, and without the use of pnbMe funds. The above pr'sram has been carefully studied and reviewed with the superintendent of echouls, and he has informed th representatives of the council that ho knew no reasons why th! above program could not be successfully conducted In the Ilish School. We feel that the public Is entitled to know fonie of th real facts In the caso vhlch show how Ju?t. democratic, and reasonable tha pro Kram and re-'jiurst of the council are. In the first place the proposal made to the Heard of Education Is not Identical with that presented last year, and many of the arguments brought against last year's proposa..' do not apply hre. The program presented last Monday night Is the plan outlined by the state board of education. The latter has organized, the courso of study and tho method by which credit shall be given. It la not a plan for which the local council Is responsible. Some 10.000 etudentfl In Indiana hi'h schools hav received credit, under this State plan most of them taking the work during the regular School periods. Maintain Plan Ixs:al. The firbt reason given by the Hoard of Education in its refusal centers In the auction of legality. If the program w re illegal the years of experience In the work in Indiana in many high 5honl:s would have revealed to the Sfatti Hoard of Education and th täte attorney any phase of Illegality. "The second reason for the refusal we are told i that wo are placing another subject Into an overcrowded fChiu!e of classes, and that it would raus administrative confusion. "Any one acquainted with modern tendencies in education knowä that a. careful re-evaluation 1 be'.n? made of all subjects at present in the Hlsh School curriculum. Much drift-wood is being thrown out to te replaced by coursej dealing with the more vital r;'ed of life. We are told that no time can be given for religious Instruction, but the board and administrators make a plar for gym work, the teaching of thrift and fire drills and prevention, choru? work and orchestra. As one of America's leading business men. Hoger Baboon, yays: ""We aro more concerned about teaching our children dead languages, dancing and table manners than we are about training them in the fundamentals of life ordinary righteousness. It is th cor. irt'.on of the churches that relirinn, non-sectarian and free from X'uMic expense. i.- vastly more imrnrtar.t to th life of the child than much the students are compelled to ttudy. Ivlarc no ConfuIon. "As to the confusion for tho administration, may we say that it if bmg done elsewhere without confusion and complication. Surely wo do not have to admit that our Administrators are less capable of meeting difficult situations. The council was assured by our alminlstrators that the work could bo arranged for at study periods. "The third reason tho board gives for refusing Is that the plan Is sectarian and partisan. At this point the council would place mphas.s by ayir.g that the plan of the state f:r providing Tleligious Instruction 1" either r.-.i-ur. Icrstood or misrepresented ty our local School Hoard. T?y its attitude In the matter and refusal to cooperate tho local Board of Eduoatior. has mad a sectarian :r.atter out of hat tho council and the roard of Education 1 or.sider and deFire to te a purely non-sectarian plan.

Grand Old Lady Of Georgia Lauds Prohibition Laws Mrs. Felton Favors Bonus for Men Who Fought, But Not for Home Guards.

CARTERS VILLE. Ga... Oct. 11 "NedleM worry i the bane o American life. And when you come down to it. most worry is of the needles kind." Such ! the motto of Mm William 1 K. Felton, Georgia's "Grand Old Woman." Its poteacy Is attested by the fact that since .ho ha passed her SSth birthday she ha- become the first woman United States tena-; tor in the country's history. j Whe their she a senator now, by! virtue of Gov. Hanlwick's appoint-j ment or vhether tho mus await ' presentation in the senate are qun. ; tims that many arc arguing. Hut Mrs. Felton isn't worrying. j Sitting on her vine-covered porch, overlooking the broad cotton piarta-j tion she actively manages, Mrs. Fe:-! ton amiably discusser politico, j neighborhood new., national events 1 and cooking recipes with callers. ! ... j "I would have- worked for a bonus for the brave lads who went across ; the ocean to fight," sOie pays. "Rut; lik Uunclo Joe Cannon, I wouTt ; have fought tr the las, against a, bonus to homo guard officers who had to have spurs to kecp their feet! from falling off their desks." ! !

She was equally positive regarding tar.ff. "I'd vote every time for a tariff that protects," she said. .

Mrs. Felton's views on prohibition! are also straightforward. "I'd a million tiiis rather cut off! my right arm than e-e whisky; brought bad; into Mir country, or; for that matter, .-eo .ho -:'. ndid prohibition act modifb 1 in any tie-; gree.' ; Thougli praising the dimrmament ; meeting. Mrs. Felton bitter. y op-' po.--d the league of Nations In th!tst Georgia senatorial campaign, i s;-.e threw her entire . up port to the, late Son. Tom Watson and Gov. i ITardwh k. Although Gerrgia is I

simon-pure democratic, they swept the state. ... There is likelihood Mrs. Felton w.ll take her peat in the onite even though it .v-n't me-, until Pece-mber. Gov. Hardv:ck. '. ho aupointed her. .oeni certain rf erection as Watson's ;ooe, ,r. f o',, rt-

That's why I'm accused of being a republican. "However, I like to find good in both parties. Theres no er.ee to voting for aomethinj you 'think is wrong Just be-caue your party happens to be championing it." America's greatest reed?

No law ever written can improve the arrV5t admonition of the scripture, to 'love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all tny strength and with all thy mind, and thy neighbor &Ji thys-elf.' "Good Laws and lawmaker we hAve already. What is needed hi enforcement and observance of the laws on tho statute books. Therr must, be more encouragement for -ducators and Improvement of our living fctan-dards."
