The aibIe i'm Ohio Schools.

CINCINNATI, o., Feb. 10.
The judges of the superior court have
rendered their decision in the case in
volving the exclusion of the Bible from
the public schools. The action was to
dissolve an injunction heretofore granted
to restrain the operation of resolutions of
the school board declaring that the read
ing of the Bible and religious books should
not be permitted in the schools. Judge
Hagen held that the provisions of the con-
stitution recognize the religion of Christ
ianity, and acknowledge that religion and
morality are necessary to good govern
ment; that the State uses religion az a
means to promote good government, and,
therefore, the exclusion of all religious
instruction from the public schools is con-
trary to the provisions of the bill of
rights. Judge storrer ooneurred in these
views, and the injun elton was made per-
petaal.
