The Bible in the Schssli. Attorney General Blackburn has ren dered a decision of great interest to the public school boards of Oregon. It ap pears that a teacher in one of the schools of Washington county has been, each morning, reading a chapter from the bi ble and repeating the Lord’s prayer, or compelling the pupils to repeat said prayer, or to stand up and listen to the teacher as she repeated the same. She was notified by the chairman of the board to discontinue this practice, with out any authority from, and against the expressed wish of the other directors. She expelled pupils because they would not stand up and listen to her as she re peated the prayer. The board of direct ors met and approved her action, but the chairman refused to sign the miuutes of the meeting. An appeal having been taken to the county superintendent, that official sustained the majority of the board, and an appeal was taken to the state department. Superintendent Ack erman submitted the questions involved to the attorney general for an opinion. Judge Blackburn quotes the Oregon school laws, and sections 2, 3 and 5 of article 1 of the constitution of Oregon as authority for religious freedom, and then dwells at considerable length upon the standard of morals taught in the new testament, and the advantages to the world, morally, if every man, woman and child in the country would live up to and comply with its teachings, and fol low in the footsteps of him who is called the son of God. He says, further, that “while it does not appear that the teach er was, in the first instance, directed by the board to read a chapter each morn ing in opeu school from the bible, yet it does appear that the board has ratified the act of the teacher in so doing, and has thus established a rule on that sub ject ......... Where the reading of a chapter in the bible, without comment, and the repeating of the Lord’s prayer, have been authorized by the board of directors of the school district, the rules thus adopted can lie enforced by excluding from the school for the time limited by law the refractory pupil, and if the peo ple of the district are not satisfied with the rule so adopted and enforced the remedy is in their own hands, and they can elect a board which will adopt and enforce a different rule.” Mrs. L.

The official announcement of the pop ulation of the state of Oregon gives the state 413,536 in 1900, a gain of 31.7 per cent in the last ten years.
