123 So.2d 218

IN THE MATTER OF THE GUARDIANSHIP OF BOYD QUIN FAUST AND NICKOLAS L. FAUST, MINORS, N.M. FAUST, APPELLANT

Supreme Court of Mississippi.

September 26, 1960.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Phillips & Wiltshire, Magnolia, for appellant.

J. Gordon Roach, McComb, amicus curiae.


ETHRIDGE, J.

This case raises issues pertaining to the parental right to control the education and religious training of minor children. We hold that here the chancery court, an agency of the State, acted beyond its powers in directing and restricting the father in his right to control their intellectual and religious education, where he was a fit person for their custody.
