MORO, OREGON CREAM PRICE TO-DAY 44 cents . Bible m School Hours I ' On Tuesday evening June 25th a very important meeting was held at the Baptist church in Grass Valley. The meeting was composed of the members of the two boards of reli gious education recently formed in Moro and Grass Valley. Both boards agreed to use the opportunity the new law affords for teaching the Bible to the children during the school hours, ths children having received permission to attend these studies. The hope was expressed that the three larger towns of the county Wasco, Moro and Grass Val ley might work together on this plan. Plans as formulated at present are to teach the Bible one hour each week through the grades and to in clude the study of the high school sylabus for which one whole credit is given by the state. The board favorably considered the application of Mrs. R. A. Feen stra to undertake this work in the Moro and Grass Valley schools. De tails of agreement between the state superintendent’s office, and the local school boards, also the fixing of a budget and other minor details are still to be arranged.. The local board of religious education' for Moro is A. M. Wright, president; M. L- Mel zer, secretary; R. C. Byers,treasurer.
