constitutional lawyer. I would not want, heaven forbid,

2

anyone thinking that I were. I am a layman who works

3

in education and I am interested in it, but if a specific

4

change in the Declaration of Rights or document is made

5

to try to clear up this question of the separation of

6

private education, particularly parochial from that of

7

public education, then I think we're in for trouble as

8

time goes on, for the simple reason the courts are trying

9

to decide this and we see an evolution over the years in

10

change here.

11

Why not keep the document simple, on some

12

basis such as you have here. Maybe you would want to

13

define the word ministry. I don't know; but I think it

14

could be made to apply to education as well as the

15

pulpit; but, in doing so, leave it so broad and general

16

that the courts could decide whether this institution

17

A got aid from the State and B did not, and so on. I

18

don't see, personally, how you can, with changing social

19

conditions and the decisions in the courts and so on

20

over the years, that you can write a document that will

21

take care of that for a considerable length of time.
