School Board, He Says, Has No Authority to Deprive Pupil of His Rights, (Special to The Brening World.) ‘ARK, N. J., Nov. &§—At the Reartng to-day in the case of Leofric Temple, who was barred from aechooi i he refused to salute the United tates fag, the boy's father sald that! he and his son are British sub- jects; that he himself is atill on the Teserve force of His Majesty's artillery = subject to the call to arms at any ene. But,” he said, “I pay taxes in Cedar Grove toward the support of the school. Ia not my boy therefore entitled to at- tend the school?" “But he refuses to do as the Board of EAweation presoribes—to salute the fag et our assembly exercises," replied A. Geeley Hutchinson, the principal of the school. “He does not refuse to salute the fiag—which ie merely a sign of respect —he has always been glad to do that. Bar he cannot honestly repeat, pointing at the American flag, ‘I pledge al- fegiance to my flag and to the Republic tor <rhich it stands.’ That is pledging allegiance to Lhe United States, and we are British subjects.” To add to this dilemma there fs the further fact that even Mr. Temple should abide by the decision of the achool board and let his son stay out of achool, 4 truant officer would step in to compel him to send Leofric to echool. COMMISSIONER SAYS THE BOY MUST BE REINSTATED. After hearing the evidence Assistant ©ommissioner of Education J. Brognard Fitts decided that the boy could not be ke pt out of school and that he must be reinstated, “The salute to the flag and the pledge at the school assembiles are not man- datory by law,” the Assistant Commis- stoner gaid. “Therefore, the boy breaks no law, Of course, the Board of Edu- cation of Cedar Grove has the right to pass rules for its schools. But sucn rules must not infringe upon any one's fights. ‘The boy's citizenship must fol- low his parents’ until he Is of age to choose for himself, “His father is a British subject—there- ‘ore his gon Is stich. Tt ts within the father's rights to remain a British cud- ject, and it is his son's to refuse to Pledge allegiance to any other flag cr government but his own. “We can compel the boy to show re- pect for our flag—he has always shown that, it appears—but we cannot compel him ‘to pledge his allegiance to It. And ‘on the other hand, we have no right to refuse him the benefit of our public ‘schools. We are, in fact, compelled by Jaw, to make him attend our schoola until after he 1s fourteen. The boy is re- instated."* BOY I8 NEPHEW OF NOVELIST RIDER HAGGARD. Among those who will be interested tn the decision will be Leofric’s uncle, H. Rider Haggard, the British novelist, who fe a member of the distinguished ser- vice order of Great Briti ‘The boy himself was absent from the hearing. This was not the first time the stars and stripes have caused trouble between young Leofric Temple and the Cedar Grove school authorities. When he was eleven years old he took @ little allken British Jack to echool. A boy bigger ‘than he snatched the British flag out Of his pocket, tore it into shreds, spat pieces and ground them under heels, Then he dared Leofric to do ‘anything to the American flag nearby. ‘With tears in his eyes and the fighting Blood of bis stock'leaping In every vein the little Britisher tore the flag of his fnaulter down.

I. 4.,” Who Also Exclaims “Isn’t It Exasperating, Girls?” BY NIXOLA GREELEY-SMITH. That ancient and imported plece of cynicism “find the woman” appears today in a new form in the letter of a masculine reader of The Evening World who declares that while man may be cruel in killing wild animals WIxOLA GREELEY-SMITH confine him in a cage, It is urged are many persons who otherwise would never see live lions and tigers. Doubtless the educational advantages of tho What if they never did? jungle would be increased if a few exhibition for the edification of the Tt is very dificult to determine what real cruelty is. From certain Gspects nearly every action of our lives is cruel. Isn't it rather bar- barons to eat @ good dinner know. ing thet some other person has no dinner at all? Yet we all do it. And there are philosophers who back us up. There is for instance Mietsche, who warns mankind against the instinct of pity as the Mont enervating of the vices. Perhaps it is not cruel for a fash- fonable woman in St. Petersburg to wear funs because she needs them to keep from freezing to death. And Perhaps it ts really barbarous for us, the dwellers in a mild and temperate climate, to hang ourselves with super- fluous sables—of course a whole lot more of us wear skunk or fox. “Sables” ta merely poetic license. CRUELTY BECOMES A MATTER OF GEOGRAPHY. Taking this view, cruelty, Ike morals, becomes, a8 was said a long time ago, & matter of geography. Here {s the letter of the man who ac- cuses the woman higher up. It {s fol- lowed by the views of two other read- ers: FASHION CAUSES SLAUGHTER OF ANIMALS AND BIRDS. Dear Madam: I do not see how you can compare what you call the cruelty of menagories to the barbar- ism of women who cause the killing of animals and birds for fashion’s sake. Zoos exist for educational purposes, for the benefit of men as well as women. The number of anl- mals in zoos !s relatively small, But let Dame Fashion take a liking to any creature on earth and the num- ber of her victims {s equalled only by those sacrificed to Love and War, and the proverb should read: ‘All's fair In love and war and for fash- fon’s sake.” Men kill animals, but women wear them, Man is the ef- fect--woman the cause, There ts more reaso) for accusing men of cruelty for the sake of sport, though even this has {ts defense, for man- kind cannot live in security where wild and dangerous animals roam at large. But @ few years ago the killing of antmals for sport's sake became so wenera] that extinction of certain Specles was near at hand. Let us hope that Dame Fashion will be merciful enougi in her desire to have every fashionable lady appear in a real tlger skin as not to inter- fere with the existence of the tig breed, but let her begin first—and this ‘s where the ladies can do a lot of good—with the extinction of the Tammany tiger. AK, EXCEPTIONS TAKEN TO THE STRINGER CRITICISMS, Dear Madam: In every line of Arthur stringer'd prosecution of Women for barbarism he reveals his conceit. He is an example of the rest of the male sex. He says that we festoon ourselves with lies. And, take notice, for the sake of man! Ian't it exasperating, girls? It te how much attention men pay to women, If they think they Copyright, 1913, by the Press Publishing Co. (The New York World.) and birds, he is merely the tool and catspaw of the Woman Higher Up. In other words, man slays the tiger but woman wears the pelt or uses it as @ rug to keep her feet warm as she stands before the looking glass} of her dressing room performing the mystic and interminable rites of beautification. Incidentally, this reader takes ex- ception to a statement I made the other day that the person who ts looking for real cruelty should turn his eyes from the menage to the menagerie. Zoos, he says, are for edu- cational purposes and are not bar barous at all. This must, of course, remain a matter of individual opin- fon, Mine is that it {8 much less barbarous to kill an animal than to in defense of menageries that there live men and women were kept on Non and tiger cubs. are barbaric, &c., why do they do it? It grieves me to think that some men have 4 that awful | dictment, for I fear their heads will burst with arrogance. Men have enough to do to keep their own doorsteps tidy. W.irF ALL WOMEN ARE NOT REAL BARBAROUS. Dear Madam: “Is woman barba ous?” If the woman of to-day is barbarous, then the same condition would seem to apply to the man of to-lay. No quailty or defect can be lmited to one sex for more than one generation. The offspring may (usu- ally do) combine some of the quall- ties of both parents, and surely the Parents are responsible in a degree for the bent of the child. “We are all much allke up to adolescence, according to Dr. C. Emerson; “then comes preference, choice and | Some women may be barbarous or | 4; fitting dresses may be vulgar and ridiculous, but Jewels have been worn from time immemorial, and the close clinging dress 1s in the evolution of thir It co eo when food} prices are high and when everybody evidently dress tightly to keep the skin from bursting, JAY §, <r eens won't she won't, and that’s the o says “ “ MURDERER OF MRS.
