QUESTION !S IN
T
Juilie Cnnstcr Not Sure That Courts
Can Control School Tciidn-rs.
IS NOW C0XS1DEK1XG MATTER
Point Come 1 p nt a Ilcmlng of Injunction
Proceedings tirowiiiK Out of lieud
ing the llible in Wuvcrly Public
Schools by Prof, llunyon.
Secretary Georse K, Stevenson, of the
Wuvurly borough school district, whose
efforts luv UlrecltMl to restrain Princi
pal Fred r. llt'.uyon, of Waverly, from
ivadiiiK tho bible and opciitr.ir the
:mri;lii exi rciscrt in the Waverly pub
lic school with a form of lvlinious wor
ship, was present with Hie minute book
of the scliinl board under his arm
when court met Suturdoy morning to
hear the injunction case. He was ivp
resuited by At tome) 3 John 1'. Kelley
and E. l Xewcomb.
A sensation was caused laHt week by
Secretary Stevenson, who, abetted by
another director. Rev. D. X. Vail, Insti
tuted an equity .suit against Principal
Hunyon and petitioned for an Injunc
tion to lvstraln the teacher from either
readinir or conductliiK uny form of iv
liKlous worship whatever durin;r sciiool
hours. Stevenson filed a voluminous
ullkUvIt, the syllabus of which was a
complaint against the action of Princi
pal llanyon on account of bible reading
and hymn sinplnR at the opening of
school In the mominy.
The affidavit complained that such a
course on the part of the teacher wus
quite distasteful, not to s-ay offensive,
to many parents vhu?; children atten 1
i"l Haryon's school. Vpon lvarlns the
affidavit Juilse Ounstcr ordered Sat
urday. March -J?,, at 11 n. m.. as the date
of a hearing- on the rule whether or not
a preliminary Injunction should be
granted to enjo!n Hunyon from carry
ing on any more devotional exercises.
The four other directors of tho Wnv
erly school district. Dr. X. C Mackcy,
J. L. Ston.-. John Hall and Lester Ston-,
were in court and their presence was in
testimony of their nttVi.iI endorsement
of the course pursued by the teacher.
Attorneys If. M. Hannah, Hulslander
it Vosliurg, and A. D. Dean represented
Principal Hunyon. and a large dele
gation of the citizens of Wuvcrly and
a class of yotinsf ladles from tho school
were present to give testimony at the
hearing.
JaJc Gunstcr's (Questions.
Judire Gunster came upon the bench
soon after 9 o'clock and spent a few
minutes looking over the papers after
th? case was called up. He asked
what control the law gives a court of
equity over a school teacher. Attorney
Xewcomb answered that the case then
before the court resolved Itself Into a
mandamus proceeding to compel the
teacher from reading the bible In the
school. "Why don't the directors stop
him? queried the court.
At this point Mr. Xewcomb proceeded
to argue tne matter to the court to
prove that it was in accord with the
law to take such steps to stop the
teacher. Mr. Xewcomb cited the case
of the school district of Gallitzin, Cam
bria county. Sisters of charity were
employed there In the public schools,
and It was their custom to tench the
Catholic pupils the catechism nftr-r
school hours. A public school teacher
Is of the nature of a public officer, and
when he violates the constitution there
is a remedy In law against him. The
coui t restrained the sisters from teach
ing the catechism in the Gallitzin
schools because it wa3 Introducing sec
tarianism Into the schools, which is
against the constitution ff Pennsyl
vania. Tho Waverly ease was a similar
one.
Attorney Hannah nrgued that a court
of common pleas had no authority In
a matter like the one then before the
court; he h'lrl that the board of direc
tors of n. school district are under the
law required to govern their schools,
nnfl If an injunction were granted, It
would mean that the court was assist
ing the directors to do their duty. Mr.
Hannah said if Hanyon is violating the
law and Ihe directors failed to dis
charge him, they were negligent.
Court 'l al.es a Kcccss.
The attorneys for the defendant
maintained that court proceedings
would tal;o direct control of the teacher
from the school board. Judge flimsier
granted a recess to allow the plaintiff's
ntlorney time to prepare exceptions to
the offer made by the other Bide ngnlnnt
the court's Jurisdiction In tho matter
pending.
The amended Affidavit of tho plaintiff
Included the four othrr directors lis
defendants, and stated that Directors
Stevenson and Vail endeavored to have
tho religious services discontinued but
that Directors Mackey, Stone, Hall and
Stone, would not permit them to be
discontinued. In cinwer to this At
torney Hannah nrgued that rending the
bible In school Is universal In oil Chris
tian communities in this country mid
Europe, and that there Is no Methodist
woy of reading the holy book.
Attorney Kelley dlnpnted the asser
tion made by Mr. Hanimh (hat the blbln
Is universally rend, ond to substantiate
his contention Mr. Kelley quoted sta
tiBtlcs from a report of J. ( Taylor,
county superintendent of this county.
The report showed that of the 212
schools of Scran ton the bible Is read In
only lit schools; In Cnrbondale It Is not
read In nny of the 85 schools of thnt
city, nor In the 31 schools of, Dunmore.
In 147 of the schools of Lackawanna
county, outside of Scranton, Carbon
dale and Dunmore, the bible Is not
read. There are 607 schools In the
county, In 11)3 of which the bible Is read;
In 314 schools It Is not read.
Soy Ilihlo Is Sectarian.
Mr. Kelley said that the constitution
nf tho state of Wisconsin Is almost Iden
tical with thnt of Pennsylvania, and
the supreme court of the former state
decided that the blblo Is sectarian nml
that the constitution Is violated when
ever the bible Is read In the schools.
Mr. Kelley said that all the judges of
tho highest court of Wisconsin lint
agreed upon this point. The reason he
cited this case was because the supreme
court of Pennsylvania had never passed
upon such a question at lBnue. Mr,
1 IWCM
use Cleveland's.
Xewcomb followed with arguments to
show that the bible is a sectarian book.
Judge Gunster took the papers und
will decide early tills wick whether or
not the court h is Jurisdiction. If his.
opinion Is that the court is not war
ranted by law in passing upon the case
that ends the matter. If he Hhall de
ckle that the court has jurisdiction
another day will be appointed for u
hearing In tho injunction proceedings.
A muss meeting of the citizens of
Wuvcrly wus held one evening last
week In the Methodist Episcopal
church, where V. D. Smith was chosen
chairman und J. P. Coult secretary.
The following resolution wa.s adopted:
Resolved, That we, tho citizens of the
borough of Waverly. and patrons of the
said school, in public meeting assem
bled, ib) declare our entire conliileiice In
Professor llahyan as uu elllclcnt and
dlserett teacher and a ('hrlslliin gentle
man, and that we approve of the man
ner In which he has used the discretion
ary power left In bis hands by the
laws of the stute and the uctlon of the
school board.
I fficucy of the IliMc.
Several prominent residents, includ
ing the clergymen of the district, made
remarks on the clllcucy of the bible In
the public schools. Secretary Steven
son arose to explain his posUlon. He
said he had always respected Professor
llanyon as a man and a Christian
gentleman, and believed him to be a
discreet and a very flllelency teacher;
that his only difference with him was a
matter of opinion regarding tho reading
of the bible In school, and that his only
difference with the majority of the
school board was a simple point of law;
and thut, in asking the court to decide
that point, he was obliged to attack
the course taken by Professor Hanyon.
A vote, consisting only of taxpayers
and voters, wus then tuken on the reso
lution offered, resulting unanimously
1n Its favor, ilfty-ono voting for. and
none against It. Then the nudlence
gave u unanimous rising vote in favor
of the same.
A resolution was also passed setting
forth that Mr. Stevenson Is running
counter to the wishes of his consti
tuents, in opposing the reading of the
bible in the public schools. It calls
upon him either to desist or resign his
ollice.
THEY SAY WHAT'S THE USE.
Many I.tguor Healers Muy Not Tuko Out
the Licenses Grunted Them.
It Is quoted as an evidence of the
tightness of money that comparatively
few of those who were granted liquor
licenses on March l(i have yet paid for
the permission to sell intoxicants uur
Ing tho year beginning April 1.
It is not tightness of money that la
altogether responsible for that condi
tion of affairs. Many of those who were
granted licenses are seriously consider
ing whether or not they will pay for
their licenses and take them out.
Last year twenty licenses granted
were not taken out. They were nearly
all for old houses and it has been re
peatedly stated that many of these ho
tels and restaurants continued to do
business as If they had a license.
This year no applications were filed
by a number of old houses, but It is
generally understood that the proprie
tors of these places have no intention
of going out of business. That means
that they will try and run the gauntlet
of the law and save the money they
would have paid for a license.
There Is a general feeling among
those who have been granted licenses
that it Is useless for them to pay a
large sum of money Into the county
treasury If their neighbors next door
can sell without permission and be not
molested. It will not bo surprising if
the county treasurer has a large batch
of uncalled .for licenses on his hands
after the time for taking them out has
expired.
DEMOCRATS CAUCUS.
