The Bible

A bulletin of the Bureau of Education (Bulletin 1923, No. 15) codifies neatly the state of the law as to Bible-reading in the schools. Six states require daily Bible-reading in the public schools, six permit it by statute, ten forbid it. Of the remaining states, the reading of the Bible is construed as permissible in 24 (the law being silent on the subject), while in two the state of the law is in doubt.
