**SECTARIAN" BOOK.
BIBLE EXCLUDED FROM SCHOOLA
The Appellate Court of San Francisco declared on November 1st that the King Jaunes. (the Authorized) version of the Bible could not be used in the public schools of California as it was "a book of sectarian or denominational character within the meaning of the political code."
The Constitution of the State of Cali. fornia provides that no sectarian doctrine shall be taught or instruction therein be permitted directly or indirectly in any of the common schools of this State The political code farther lays it down "It shall be the duty of the boards of school trustees to exclude from the schools all books of sectarian, partisan,« or denominational character.” - AMA
The sult was recently brought to prevent: the trustees of the Selma High School from purchasing a dozen Bibles for the use of the classer. The Lower Court held that the true. teer were within their rights in making the purchase, as the Authorised Version of the Bible was "the book of all Christiana." This decision the Appellate Court over-ruled, declaring that while Protestantism may not be sect in the strict interpretation of the term, the Protostant Bible contains the precepts of many Protestant denomina tions, and denomination is merely another term for sect, The King James Bible having been adopted by the Protestants, their book is objectionable to those who do not follow that faith."
The decision-the first ever rendered in the Unitel States on the subject emphasizes the fact that other, religious secta have their books, such as the Talmad and the Eyran, and says that the Bible must be barred from the common schools because the teachers fail to consider it for its literary or historical value.-Times.
AUTRESS'S LOVE STORY.
Mins Caroline Tittle, formerly an American actress, has begun an action, în Paris, for damages for breach of contract against a Prince of an illustrious family, whose name is not revealed (writes the Daily Telegraph's correspondent). Boon after fearing school the Prince mot the actress by chance at a fashionable French seaside resort, and though she was some ten years his senior, became infatuated. "Affer that summer they met again at the same place a year later, and so continued their Just liaison through several years, before the outbreak of the war, however, Miss Little received a fare- well note from the Prince, in which be announced that, in spite of their deep love, their ways in life lay apart. He raid, however, that in order to provide for her fotore he would give her, in addition to a lump sum of 200,000£ an allowance of 10,000f. a month for one year, and there after 2 y tế The Pridice

he, married another woman with the sp- proval of his family. After this, it appears, be forgot to keep his promise to Misk Little. Het Lawyers claim that the Prince's offer to her constitutes a contract which he is bound to fulfil, but the do fense is that as the promise had its origin in an alliance which the law could not recognise, it cannot have legal sanction. It was recently decided by the same court that co-habitation, for however long a period, conferred no rights of indemnity on either party to such an arrangement if it were broken: Counsel for Miss Little puts forward the argument that as people are held responsible for the small- est physical injury which they may cause to their neighbours, the law should afford equal protection to those whose lives are morally broken. The court, after bearing the arguments on both sides, has post- pored its decision. A
'TEACHING OF ENGLISH.
Bome time ago the President of the Board of Education appointed a Committee. to inquire into the position of English in the educational system of England, and the results of the deliberations of the Committee and its findings were incorporated in a report which ariased widespread attention. The published copies were quickly absorbed, and it is now very difficult to secure one. On November 2nd, at Birkbeck College, a conference was organised by the London County Council, at which several speakers, well known in the educational world, gare their views upon the report. On its value, as a whole, all, were agreed, and if there were differences of opinion at all they were merely on points of detail. Thus Sir Gregory Foster, Provost of University College, and Professor B. W. Chamber, Quain Pro- festor of English. University College; totally disagreed with the chapter dealing with the honours degrees at the Univer sities. But this was a minor point which in no way affected the general agreement. of the very large audiences
Sir Cyril: Jackson, chairman of the Education Committee of the LCC., who presided, emphasised the importance of teaching English in our schools on right Hines, and Sir Henry Newbolt, chairmans of the Departmental Committee which drew op the report, sketched themes upon which the report was drawn up." It was with principles, he said, that the Com Hittee had dealt, and not with details. They had come to a point when they might ask themselves whether the whole, autem of education in the country abould not thinged.
