Bible-in-Schools
The Wanganui School Committee failed to force the Protestant version of the Bible into the working hour's of the public schools against the wishes of tlie' School Board. The Supreme Court decided in favor of the Board. Last week the Wanganui Ministers 1 Association tried to do by the suaviter in modo what -the School Board had failed to do by the fortiter in re. The Board (says the Press Association) was ' willing to allow Bible lessons provided that they were given outside the hours fixed for the ordinary syllabus. It was resolved that any times set apart for Bible teaching must be outside school hours, and that the- Board cannot see their way to alter the regulation fixing the school hours at five per day.'
