PAUSOXSJ J, tm-m a case taken before the Sw» " preme Court from Winnebago County, the Court decided thai scholars are not compelled to pursue studies against the wishes of their parents. Iu this case a scholar had been expelled from school for refusing to study book-keep­ ing. The parent sued the Dftectors for damages, and after carrying th« case through the Courts, the judgment given in the lower Courts In his favor has been affirmed. The principle In­ volved in the oase is simply this: that the Supreme Court holds that while it is true that the board of directors of a public school may adopt all reasonable and necessary rules and regulations for the management and government of the school, and to that end prescribe * course of study, yet parents or guard­ ians have the right honestly and In good faith, to select from the course of study so prescribed, by such directors* the particular studies which they may desire their children or wards to pur­ sue, and that it is no ground for' the suspension or expulsion of a scholar If such scholar does #ot pursue the entire course of study prescribed, so long M such scholar Is acting honestly and la good laith under the instruction and direction of parent or guardian.--Mtk* rengo Republican. fgy-Brighuin Young says he has bettttf told by God' in a vision, that the is* visable outlet to Salt Lake, is being- filled up with f»lt deposit, and the* within six years the lake will overflow its banks, inundating that part of the country.
