CONTROL Federal Education Bill Unconstitutional The Sodality held its monthly meeting Thursday night at 7:00 o'clock. The Rev. G. A. Hayes, S. J., spoke at length on the proposed bill for Federal control of education. Father Hayes outlined the evils of the Federal Education bill recently introduced in Congress, saying that the aimed directly at the Catholic school system. The bill, he said, is unconstitutional, for the Constitution ! expressly gives the control of I education to the state. Federal control of education would abolish the perochial school and place all institutions under the direct supervision of Washington. He asked that all rally round in opposing this menace and suggested that the students get up a petition to have the bill recalled. A discussion was then opened on the Queen's Work. Everyone present was invited to express his opinions on the subject. After several minutes argument is was universally agreed that many of the intended moral teaching articles in the paper were untrue to life and too exaggerated to be believer. The desired effect of the story is lost, they said, by putting it on too thick. No student will take any moral lesson from a story that sounds ridiculous to him. The results of the discussion will be sent to Fr. Lord, the Dditor of the publication, as a bit if friendly criticism. COLUMBIA U.
