BIBLE-IN-SCHOOLS
RIGHTS OF MINORITY SIR ROBERT STOUT’S VIEWS Press Association. WELLINGTON, To-day. The Bible-in-Schools Bill has an opponent in Sir Robert Stout, who gave evidence before the committee. He said he had always been of opinion that the State should not have anything to do with religion. State interference always ended in trouble and injustice. He was opppesed to the plebiscite, which meant fixing up religion by the majority. He denied the right of the majority to fix religion for the minority. It was not a question of majority but of rights. He saw no objection to the school buildings being used outside school hours for religious teaching.
