Court Rejects
Seattle Pair's
liqious Plea
- Washington - (UPD - The Su
preme Court has rejected the
appeal of a Seattle couple
who refused for religious rea
sons to send their daughter
to public school.
The brief order leaves
standing a decision last Jan,
25 by the State Supreme
Court that the teaching the
youngster, now IS, has been
receiving from her mother
docs not conform with the
state education law. They are
faced with the necessity of
making other arrangements,
Interested in Church
The parents, William and
Maude Wold, moved to Seat
tle from Colorado in 1952 be
cause of their interest in the
Seventh Elect Church in
Spiritual Israel. They later
Joined the church, which ex
ists only in King County.
Their daughter, Alta Lee,
then seven, was enrolled 'in
the Ronald public school of
the Shoreline District No.
412.
Members of the Seventh
Elect church may not cut
their hair; play or listen to
jnusical instruments or dance.
Further they may not eat
meat or remain in the pres
ence of any one who docs.
Trouble in School
Alta Lee and an older sis
ter, Freda Mae, had trouble
In school because they follow
ed these teachings. It was
hard to find a lunch location
where other children were
not eating meat. There were
difficulties in gym classes
featuring folk dancing. The
home education started in
1955.
The girls were subsequent
ly made wards of the juve
nile court but now removed
from their parents' custody.
Finally a Juvenile court judge
ruled that Mrs. Wold's teach
ing methods conformed to the
state compulsory education
law.'
'This decision was reversed
by the Washington Supreme
Court in a split decision.
Freda Mae, now 18, is no
longer in the case.

Conversation Linens
Pearl S.-We lost our friends
because I told the truth.
John S.-She should apolo
gize.
Piarl S.-I am terribly upset
about a problem involving
some of my closest friends.
My husbund and I have
been friends with the D's for
nearly 12 years. They have a
young teen age daughter who
is studying ballet dancing, it
happens that I studied ballet
for several years and even
danced professionally a short
time before my marriage.
My friends asked my opin
ion of their daughter's danc
ing and whether they should
encourage her to go ahead
with her plans to study danc
ing full time instead of going
to college. I advised against
it. I pointed out that the girl
hasn't the right build for a
dancer and her teachers have
been taking them all for a
ride by encouraging her.
Since then they've hardly
spoken to us. My husband
says I was in the wrong.
John S.-Pearl sets great
store by her honesty and says
she'll never be afraid to come
out with the truth, but I al
ways tell her people don't
want to hear the truth. They
would much rather hear
something pleasant and flattering.
The D's are nice people and
we really miss their compan
ionship. Pearl knew they set
so much store by their daugh
ter's talents. Also, the girl
herself was very hurt by
Pearl's remarks-which she
overheard.
I feel that Pearl ought to
apologize to the D's, but she
says there is nothing to apolo
gize for. They asked for an
honest opinion and she gave
it to them. She meant no
harm. Friends have told us
the D's say Pearl is frustrated
in her own ambitions and
that's why she wouldn't en
courage another young girl.
Now Pearl thinks they ought
to apologize.
The Council-It's true that
most people prefer approval
and flattery to truth from
their friends. That doesn't
mean we must all become
liars. We should be aware of
the old question of what is
the truth. Opinions often
vary, even among experts,
and it is obvious that none
of us can lay claim to abso
lute knowledge.
Knowing that both the girl
and her parents had made a
large investment and had
high hopes for a dancing ca
reer, Pearl was unwise to take
upon herself the responsibil
ity of such a definite state
ment about the girl's future.
She could have been both
honest and wise if she had
been a bit evasive and said
they ought to get advice from
other people working in the
field-aside from the girl's
teachers.
The fact is that some danc
ers manage to achieve a meas
ure of success despite some
physical handicap. Also, a
teenage girl is still In the de
velopment stage. Her body
may change greatly within
the next few years.
Are apologies In order? It
might be even better if Pearl
would say she has given more
serious thought to the matter
and recommends that the D's
get a few more opinions from
individuals active in the field.
We don't think Pearl ought
to seek an apology from the
D's for what they said be
cause they were obviously
talking out of a sense of deep
hurt. Their statement was no
more unwise than Pearl's -and
could be just as true. No
doubt they believe they were
also stating the simple truth.
