(From a Staft Correspondent) LINCOLN, Oct. 4.—(Special )—Ehall the bible be read In the public schools of Ne- braska? This question been brought to the attention of the departiment of pub- lic instruction. In this the matter 1« left to the discretion of the local dle-| rict boards, as arc other rules prescrib- | ing courses of study, ctc.. but there is no | aw on the sublec. that can be applied to| all schools allke. Discussing the question | Deputy Superintendent Mcirien “ “The reading of the bible in the public | i hools has been a question of considerable | iscussion durlug the entlre history of this | ation. It has had ardent advocates and | bitter enemies. Probably no other ques- fon connected with our public school sys tem has excited the interes( alarmed the inderstandings or aroused the feelings of the people to such an exteni as woether | he bible should be read in the public echools or excluded therefrom “We must remember that the constitution | of the United States declares: ‘Congress | sball make o law respecting an establish- ment of religlon or prohibiting the free ex- ercise thereof.’ ‘It fa the custom in most of the public kehools to open cxercises of the day | with reading a few verses of the bible, | without note or comment. In some of the| large cities, 1 regret to say, this custom | has been abandoned by the school boards. | The whole subject fs usually left the diseretion of the Board of Education, as are other rules, such as prescribing courses of study and so on | ‘Where the law leaves such a dlscretion | with the hoard, as it usually does, the| courts have refused to restrain, coerce or | interfere with such discretion. No court| of last resory has ever held that a rule adopted by a public school board requir- ng that the bible ehould be read in the #-hools under its charge l¢ unconstitutional. On the contrary, it has been held by the highest courts in several of the states that | sich a rule is entirely proper and not un- constitutional ‘“The constitution of Nebraska proclaims religion, morality and knowledge as being cssential to good government. Washing- | (on, in his farewell address, maintained that religion and morality are indispensa- ble to human happiness. ‘It religion and morality are such price- less virtues it follows that the best hook | on these viriue: should be read at the open- ing exercises for the day In every public| school in America. Lot there be no note, comment or exposition of it. Its words are | profound enough for the statesman, yet! simple enough for the child. After serip- | ture reading let the school, with howed heads, unite in the Lord's prayer. Excuse any child from these exerclses whose pa rents may request it, but for those of us who desire the bible so read let there be ncne to make an objection. a4 Leasing Tour.
