TEACHING OF BIBLE
MAY BE TIGHTENED
Cathoiic Educators Decry
Trend of Schools to Deal in
"Counterfeit Religion."
By the Associated Pros*
CINCINNATI, June 29—Establish
ment of more rigid rule; far the teach
ing of religion in Catholic schools
srrmed likely today as the convention
of the National Catholic Educational
Association entered lis second day.
Criticism of the modern system of
education marked yesterday's sessions,
one speaker terming religion "our weak
e-tt course "
Outstanding ν as a charge by Arch
bishop John T. McNicholas of Cincin
nati, that "the people have been shame
fully fcoled about education.'
The archbishop said students are not
briivr tausrht the principles of thinking
rightly, while the system is full of
"lads and frills and dangerous experi
ments which counterfeit re'igion."
Education in the United States, he
assorted, is in confusirn. with its lead
ers "hopelessly bewildered."
He charged that "commercialized ed
ucation already is allied with demoral
izing industrialism and corrupting pol
itics" and said the teachers ana pro
fessors are not fully cognizant of the
iact.

WAGE CUTS SEEN
FOR COUNTY FORCE
Commissioners in Fifth Anne
Arundel District Reported in
Favor of Reduction.
ANNAPOLIS, June 29.—A general
pay cut for all county employes whose
salaries or wages are not set by law
appeared imminent today as Commis
sioner F. Guy Kelly of the fifth district j
of Anne Arundel County announced that '
effective July 1, all members of his road ι
force would be reduced from 10 to 15
per cent.
A majority of the Board of County
Commissioners appeared to be in favor
of making a general county wage cut
and the matter will be taken up when
the board meets next Tuesday. Elmer
E. Parkinson, president of the board, j
said he approved a general cut of all (
the county salaries not fixed by the.;
Legislature, and also favored asking
those whose salaries are set by law to
take a voluntary cut. A majority of the
commissioners favored the president's
view.
John A. Bromley, county engineer,
said he was preparing a schedule to
show the purchasing power of the dol
lar today as compared to several years
back, with the proportional reduction
in commodities and the percentage of
wage expended by employes for housing
and commodities. With this as a guide,
he said he would be ready to make rec
ommendations for the percentage of
cut to apply to the approximately 80
men under his supervision. He declared
that a general cut of the road force
would save about $5,000 annually.
