(UPI) Little Difference in School Activity Be Noticed by Prayer Decision Editor't Note: Experts believe that roughly half of Ihe nation's 35.000 school districts have some kind of religious exercises. The fol lowing dispatch tells what some of them are doing as a result of the Supreme Court decision outlawing the use of official prayers In public schools. By LOUIS CASSELS Washington - (UPI) - When Ihe nation's children return to school in September, rela tively few of them will notice any difference in their class room activities as a result of the Supreme Court's prayer decision. The outlook is Indicated by a UPI sampling of school authorities across Ihe country. Most school authorities out side of New York state who commented felt Ihe court ruling did not apply In any of their present activities. Two exceptions were Sioux Citv, la., and Washington, D. C. In Sioux City, school offi cials have decided In drop a previously used classroom prayer because they believe it is in conflict with the court's decision. Breeze-Weight! ) Jill mm In Washington, Superin tendent Carl F. Hansen has asked the city attorney for a ruling whether public schools must abandon the practice of opening each day with Bible reading and the Lord's Prayer. New York stale schools are in a special catagory because it was their 22-word Regent's Prayer which the court spe cifically held to be unconsti tutional. Even in New York, how ever, the ruling won't cause a universal change of practice The state Regent's Prayer was optional with local school districts, and many weren't using it anyway. In New Jersey, Gov. Rich ard J. Hughes has announced that he considers still in force a state law requiring public schools to begin each day with the reading of five verses from the Old Testa ment and the recital of the Lord's Prayer. "Wc will keep this practice until the United States Su preme Court says we can't," he said. School authorities in Penn- sulvania, Maryland and Flor ida arc maintaining the status quo until the court acts - on cases dealing specifically with their practices. Verses Permitted Pennsylvania has a stale law permitting but not re quiring schools to open the day with the reading of 10 verses from the Bible wilhout comment. Maryland leaves the matter up to each local school, and many schools in the state have daily Bible reading and the Lord's Pray er. Florida's Supreme Court recently upheld Bible reading and use of the Lord's Prayer in the state's schools. In Dallas, Tex., Dr. W. T. White, superintendent of schools, said the U. S. Su preme Court decision would not affect local practices. He said prayers in Dallas public schools are on an Individual voluntary basis. Hawaii's Department of Ed ucation also saw no problem resulting from the ruling. Hawaiian schools do not have "planned prayers.'' There were similar respon ses from school authorities in Cleveland, Kansas City, Chi cago, Denver, Sacramento and San Francisco. According to the U. S. Of fice of Education, there are at least nine states in which the U. S.
