Being concerned only with
the immediate present 13 the
one concern of all the crea
lurcs of the forest, field,
stream or jungle. They have
no worry as to what may or
may not happen tomorrow.
They live from day to day,
almost from hour to hour.
A few species make small
preparations for the future,
but they don't worry about
it. They display a pretty wise
philosophy. They exemplify
rather graphically the old
proverb many of us could
very well apply to our own
daily lives that says, "Keep
thou my feci. I do not ask to
see the distant shore. One
step is enough for me."
Every bird that visits your
garden or sings from the tree
or hurries to some unseen
destination has a genius lot
living. It has a graceful way
of accepting whatever pleas
ures or obstacles are encoun
tered, and makes the most or
least of them. The field
mouse, the rabbit or any of
the lesser creatures that
scurry in the nearby thicket
or grass clump has ihr. same
formula by which 1'. lives.
Don'f Slay Sad
If they are ever sf,d. they
never remain that way for
very long. If something hap
pens to one of Ihe'.r fellows,
they accept it as a part of
living. What happened yes
terday or an hour ago is com
plelciy forgotlen in the joys
and anticipations of the pres
ent. They seem to remember
only thai yesterday was safe
ly passed; that again the sun
is shining and the world is a
very wonderful place.
They greet each dawn after
a restful night. During the
previous day they have lived
actively enough to be tired
when the sun goes down, and
by morning they are rc
lrc.'heci. Not a single one car
ries over a grudge from yes
terday. Never do they awak
en In the morning being
"mad" at anyone or anything.
The joy of living is never
dulled by fears. To them ev
en the fear of death holds no
terror or meaning. . They do
not understand it any more
than we do, but they do not
worry about something ihcy
can do nothing about. They
do not waste a single precious
moment trying to make
things different. They accept
the world as it is, not as they
think it ought to be.
When the time comes, as it
must to all living things, to
lie down for the la.H time,
the animal feels the change
It somehow knows thai this
Ls the final act. It may even
want to return to the iden
tical spot where it was born;
or 11 may seek a quiet place
In which to rest a little while.
It will not try to analyze
the reason it feels so strange
and unnatural, but it may
want very badly to hear Ihe
sigh of the wind in the tree
lops or the gurgle of water
in a brook.
It is possible that a bird
will be ringing in Ihe ncarb;

of song it heard when it firm

UPI Correspondent
A heated argument has
been under way in America
since last June 25 over how
far the Supreme Court meant
to go in its school prayer de
cision. Some people have insisted
that the court did nothing
more than rule out an official
prayer composed by state of
ficials. On the basis of this
narrow interpretation many
public schools-including those
in the nation's capital - have
continued to require daily
classroom recitation of the
Lord's Prayer, which comes
from the New Testament.
Others have contended that
the court left no room for any
officially-sanctioned prayers
or other religious exercises in
tax-supported public schools.
This broad view is reflected
in a decision by the New York
state commissioner of educa
tion that it would be improp
er for public school children
to recite the fourth stanza of
the Star Spangled Banner as
a classroom prayer.
Noted constitutional law
yers, religious leaders and
educators have lined up on
both sides of the question.
And all hands have had a
field day blaming the press
for the confusion.
The argument may soon be
settled - in the only way it
can be settled - by the court
itself.
The court has agreed Jo
rule during its present term
on two cases involving the
constitutionality of public
school religious exercises.
Case in Pennsylvania
One case originated in
Pennsylvania, where a state
law rcquiiing dally Bible
reading and , recitation of the
Lord's Prayer.
The Supreme Court is thus
confronted with exactly op
posite findings by lower
courts on how the First
Amendment applies to roll
gious exercises in public
schools. It will hear oral ar
guments on the question and
hand down its own decision
before the present term ends
next June.
The case which the court
decided last June involved a
unique situation. New York,
where that case arose, is the
only stale in which official?
have seen fit to compose an
official prayer 'for public
school use.
But the Pennsylvania and
Maryland practices now be
fore the court are very wide
spread in the United States.
Prof. Richard B. Dieren
field of MacAIestcr College.
St. Paul, Minn., recently com
pleted a survey of religious
practices in 4.000 public
school systems in all parts of
the country. His findings are
reported in a book, "Religion
in American Public Schools."
Just published by Public Af
fairs Press.
Regional Variations
The survey indicates that
Bible reading is a regular
practice in about 42 per cent
of America's public schools.
There are wide regional vari
ations; Bible reading is found
in 77 per cent of the schools
in the South, B7 per cent of
those in the East, 18 per cent
of those in the Midwest, and
only 11 per cent of the schools
in the West.
One ihird of the nation's
public schools conduct daily
"homeroom devotional exer
cises" which usually include
the recitation of Ihe Lord's
Prayer as well as Bible read
ing. In sonic instances, the
exercises include short devo
tional lalks and singing of
hymns. Again these practices
are very common in schools
of the South (liO per cent) and
east (68 per cent) but quite
rare in the Midwest (ti per
cent) and West (2 per cent).
Trying to guess how the
Supreme Court will rule in
the pending cases ts more-tlian-usually
difficult. Two
new justices have jointed the
court since Ihe June 23 deci
sion. And sonic of the seven
justices who found the New
York prayer imcnti.-.titii!ional
may have based their finding

solely on the point of state
authorship.
Despite these elements of
uncertainty, some observers
feel that the probable ruling
of the court is clearly fore
shadowed, not only by the
logic of the June 25 decision,
but also by the consistent ten
or of its rulings on the First
Amendment in recent years.
These rulings have empha
sized that government must
be strictly neutral in matters
of religion.
If the court bans Bible read
ing and the Lord's player in
public schools, there doubt
less will be quite a national
reaction. But it might not be
as explosive as the one which
greeted last June's ruling.
During the past three
months, many Protestants
who were initially shocked
by the prayer ruling have
concluded, on second thought,
that the Supreme Court actu
ally struck an important
blow for relgious freedom
and church-state separaton.
Some major Protestant bo
dies, including the Southern
Baptist Convention and the
Disciples of Christ, have spe-
cifically commended the court
for the prayer ruling.
Although Catholics and
Jews also have strong feelings
on this subject, Protestanto
will experience the greatest
impact if the court outlaws
Bible reading and pmycr in
public schools. Cathniics and
Jews have not relied on pub
lic schools for religious edu
cation of their children. Pro
tectants have - to a lar great
er extent than mary of them
realized until the prayer rul
ing woke them up.
