Michigan suprem. Court su.t.ins = School
Board.

Lansing Mich. Dec. 12-The Supreme
Court has just disposed Of some unusu-
ally important cases, some of which the
justices have been considering since
last January. Probably the most i'm
portant of these cases was that of Con-
rad Pfeiffer vs.. the Board of Educa-
ton Of Detroit. in which the Wayne
Circuit Court granted an order COM
pelling the board to discontinue the use
OF book known as Readings From
the Bible" in the public schools. In an
opinion written by Justice Hooker and
concurred in by all the justices except
Justice Moore. who wrote a very
lengthy dissenting opinion. the court re-
versed this order. declaring that the
use Of such a book IL not unconstitu-
tional
The answer Of the board showed that
the book is made up principally Of
moral precepts. affirming and empha-
sizing the moral precepts laid down in
the ten commandments. and that while
some OF the Passages relate 10 the pow
er, goodness and mercy of Almighty
God. the book is made up almost entire
ly Of extracts from the Bible. 1t was
shown that no teacher is allowed to
comment upon anything in the book: !:
that the book is used simply as a sup
Elemental text book on reading. and
that pupils in the grammar grades are
not required TO listen TO the readings.
which take places at the close Of the
daiIy sessions. but are excused there
from on application Of the parents or
guardians
The conclusion Of the court. after m
review Of the authorities and laws re-
ferred to, is that the term religious
teacher. when used in our constitu-
tion, is synonymous with teacher
and, therefore. the reading OF extracts
from the Bible in the manner Indicated
above, without comment, is not yio-
iation OF any constitutional provision.
The court says 1t is unable to see WHY
extracts from the Bible should be pro.
scribed when the youths are taught no
better authenticated statements Of pro-
fame history.
