BIBLE IN SCHOOLS.

[Pkh Press Association.] WELLINGTON, February 28. At a meeting of the executive of the Now Zealand National Schools Defence League, ..it .was reported that though the national executive so far had done practically nothing towards conn-: teractiug Canon Garland’s campaign'iu connection with the Bible in Schools, some of the local leagues had done not a little in that connection. It was also reported- that in every district where the counter movement was started it was found that largo numbers had signed the Canon Garland pledge under a complete misapprehension as to what it really committed them to. It was decided to appoint a national organiser at the next meeting of tho executive, who would hold public meetings all over the dominion and to explain fully tho nature and implications of the policy of tho Bible in Schools party and deal with the methods and misrepresentations of its organisers.
