RIGHTS OF A FATHER
“ A father has the right to choose his child’s religion and everything else, and if his wife does not like the decision she must ask the court to decide between them,” declared Mr. Hay Halkett, the Marylebone, London, magistrate. A city merchant stated that he wanted to send his seven-year-old son to a boarding school, but his wife objected. Magistrate: “ You ask for a summons under the Guardianship of Infants Act, but you cannot have it. That is a ridiculous Act, and places everything in the woman’s hands. But you are the sole guardian at present. Send him to school if you want to: don’t pay any attention to her. If she wants to challenge your right she o.an do so under the Act. but at present ydu can do as you like. You are master."
