Music by the band of St. Johns Orphan Asylum. Brooklyn, pre ceded and followed the addresses. Father Logue was accorded a hight tribute byFather F’rawley for his efforts in both the church and civic work in F’reeport, and extended to him and his congregation wishes for unbounded success. The Vicar General, who turned the first sod with a spade handed to him by F’ather Logue, touched upon the sig nificance of the occasion and the im portance of true worship. Father F'rawley, Father Logue and S. D. O’Mara, President of the local St. Vin cent de Paul Society, each turned a spaceful of earth after the Vicar Gen eral. Communication Editor Review : Dear Sir: The Rev. Chas. A. Logue having given publicity through the local press to his charges against the Board of Education for “ ignorance of the State Law with regard to religious exercises in the school” and “ prohibit ing dancing at receptions” etc., it seems proper that the position of the Board should be made known through the same channels. It is impossible to fully reply to Fath er Logue without taking considerable space and the Board of Education is exceedingly reluctant to enter a news paper controversy. However, with the assurance that this will be the only communication from us on the subject we beg your indulgence. F'ather Logue charges the Board with ignorance of the State Law in the mat ter of religious exercises because of some facetious reply made by Trustee Eldridge at the meeting Tuesday night. Let me say the Board is not only not ignorant ofthe law, but on account of Father Logue’s charges two years ago had taken the matter up wtih the State department and made themselves famil iar not only with the law but with de cisions of the department, the opinion of the attorney general, and the prac tise in other schools under simtliar don- ditions and allowed the chapel exercis es to be continued preliminary to the regular study hours, and upon which no pupil was obliged to be in attendance. Quoting Father Logue again “ Their (the Board’s) action has been unjust and unfair to us”. Who does he mean by “ us?” If he means taxpayers, par ents and guardians it is strange they would not come to the public meetings and protest, If he means Catholics it is exceedingly unfortunate, as the Board makes no distinction between Catholics and Protestants, Methodists, Congregational, Unitarian, Christian Scientist pr Spiritualist, and has air ways insisted on uniform courtesies be tween pupils and teachers and visitors, regardless of religious tenets, and has purposely refused to be drawn into con troversy of this sort because of the embittering personalities likely to be stirred up with many friends of differ ent religious beliefs. Answering Father Logue specifically: Charge No. 1 about sectarian exer cises: The Board has continued the (Freeport News continued on page 6) B i - ' ,
